Chapter 863

• In the far corner of the grand banquet hall, a young man and woman stood quietly, their presence stirring an undercurrent of whispers. Most of the guests had no idea who they were, but the Hudson Family recognized them immediately. The moment Isabella caught sight of them, her elegant smile wavered for just a second. However, when she turned back to face the cameras, her poised and gentle expression was firmly in place.
• With a soft sigh, she spoke, her voice carrying just the right touch of sympathy. "My cousins left the family years ago, choosing to distance themselves from us. But now, it seems they’ve come to realize the value of their roots and have decided to return. Mother, I have to go on stage soon, so please remind Grandpa not to be too upset. Regardless of everything that happened, they are still part of the Hudson Family."
• Her words subtly planted a seed in the minds of those listening. Murmurs spread through the crowd as the truth seemed to dawn on them—these two individuals were none other than the children of Cody and his late wife.
