Chapter 175
Chloe’s eyes flickered, but she quickly concealed the jealousy bubbling beneath the surface. She put on a look of deep concern for Xandra, her face filled with righteous anger, as though Ethan’s words had struck a chord.
“Xandra, Ethan’s right,”
ght,” Chloe began, “Sophia is clearly trying to play the third wheel and seduce your fiancé.
“You’re the daughter of the Roscente family, the rightful fiancée of Mr. Years, the one recognized by both families”
“I don’t care that she’s my sister; I just can’t stand the way she’s openly stealing your fiancé, Xandra, and doing it so boldly. It’s disgusting! Come on. Xandra, let’s go. We need to see them and demand an explanation!”
Chloe said, grabbing Xandra’s hand and storming toward the couple still locked in their embrace.
Xandra, however, didn’t move.

umed with jealousy, desperate to rush over and pull the two apart, to stand in front of Sophia and scold her for her shameless
However, Xandra knew she couldn’t, and she dared not.
Before she had known S Sophia’s true identity, she might have acted that way.
She would have let the onlookers–the ones admiring the “perfect couple
see Sophia for what she really was a
was: a shameless mistress.
But now, everything was different. Sophia was the thie heiress of the Roscente family, the very identity Xandra had always dreamed of. The family Xandra had longed for all her life was now the blood family Sophia had a legitimate connection to
Sophia now held the legitimate engagement with Tristan.
Xandra, on the other hand, was the one without the right to criticize them.
Still, Xandra knew she must keep these secrets to herself. She could never let Chloe or Ethan know the truth.
Xandra knew that everything she had to be proud of came from her title as the daughter of the Roscente family.
If anyone found out she was the fake
She would never survive in Virelia’s high society again.
She’d never be able to live with the shame.
Xandra gritted her teeth firmly.
She made a firm resolution no matter what, she could never let anyone know that she wasn’t a real Roscente.
“Xandra“” Chloe, seeing 2 Xandra stand still, grew more frantic. “They’re leaving! Are you really going to just watch your fiancé walk away with
another woman”
“No need for that.” Xandra took a deep breath, freeing her hand from Chloe’s grasp.
- sp. With the grace and pride of a lady, she tilted her head slightly and coldly glanced ar Sophia and Tristan. Then she scoffed, “The Yeats family isn’t a club she can just waltz into. Just because she’s caught Tris’s eye doesn’t mean she can keep him, or marry into the Yeats family
Xandra then forced herself to look away and mask her emotions with a calm expression. This doesn’t like women who make a fuss over nothing. 1 won’t destroy my relationship with him over a nobody.
She raised an eyebrow and let out a cold laugh. Tm curious to see how long she can hold onto Tris”
With that, Xandra turned on her heels, her high heels clicking sharply against the floor as she headed toward the Roscente Group building
As she walked away, she deliberately lifted her chin, projecting an air of pride.
No one saw it that, her designer bag, tightly gripped in her hand, was covered with clear fingerprints. Those prints were as disordered and frayed as her heart felt in that moment

Now. Kandra had seen the two of them in a tight embrace, yet still couldn’t bring herself to confront them.

Chapter 175
Chloe couldn’t help wondering: Is this really how a fiancée would act!
Chloe thought Xandra had been madly in love with Tristan–so much so that she had given up her life and career overseas just to be closer to him. Now everything didn’t seem right
Xandra…
seems to be very afraid of Mr. Years” said Ethan.
His voice was dark, laced with a hint of mockery,
Chloe bit her lip, her gaze still following Sophia as she climbed into the luxury car, shielded by Tristan’s attentive protection.
She watched as the car sped away, a wave of envy surging through her.
Even someone like Sophia, someone from the slums, could stand by Tristan’s side and receive such attention from him. And now Xandra, a high- society heiress, couldn’t even confront them.
Chloe suddenly felt a surge of confidence. Maybe she had just been unlucky before, but now she believed she would have her chance.
Chloe felt she deserved to be the one standing by Tristan’s side.
She should, and she could be the one everyone admired, the one everyone envied
Sophia? A woman from the slums? She was unworthy of Tristan’s love.
The more Chloe thought about it, the greater her jealousy became, and she could feel the bitterness creeping into her gaze.
But quickly, she regained her composure, adjusting her expression and lifting her hand to loop her arm through Ethan’s. Her eyes glistened with tears, making her look fragile and vulnerable
“Ethan.. you still care about Sophia, don’t you?” she said, her voice trembling with feigned emotion.
Ethan’s face twisted with anger, his brows furrowing deeply. “Care about her? A woman who’s willing to lower herself and become a mistress? Ha, what a joke!”
Ethan was trying to conceal his emotions, but his words came out too quickly, betraying his true feelings. He was embarrassed and furious at being exposed.
Ethan’s words cut through Chloe, leaving her face pale.
The phrase “lower herself to be a mistress” struck a sensitive nerve deep within her.
She had once been there.
At the time, Chloe hadn’t known she was the true daughter of the Sterward family. She was fully aware that Ethan was engaged, but in her desperation to change her life, she still approached him.
She worked carefully, step by step, until she finally caught Ethan’s attention.
For her sake.
Ethan h
had humiliated Sophia time and ti
time again.
In the end. Chloe regained her rightful identity as the true heiress of the Steward family and became Ethan’s legitimate fiancée,
But despite her restored identity, it couldn’t erase the fact that she had once, unknowingly, lowered herself to be the other woman.
Chloe’s face turned pale, but she kept it hidden, Lowering her lashes slightly, her expression held a quiet sense of defeat. “Ethan, I know you and Sophia have three years of history. Even though she’s made mistakes, everything she did was for you.
“If you sull care about her, if you regret what happened and want to get her back. I can.
She tried to speak with strength and grace, hoping to show her generosity and dignity.
But by the time she reached the last sentence, her voice cracked with emotion, and tears welled up in her beautiful eyes, spilling over
he was pitiful and fragile, like a baby deer mistreated.
Erhan pulled her into his arms, his voice soft but firm. “What are you saying, you silly girl?”
He gently stroked her huur, but his gaze remained fixed on the direction in which the car carrying Sophia had sped off. His eyes grew darker, deeper, dialed with turmoil
