Chapter 927

• Caden scoffed, his tone dripping with sarcasm. “Oh? I didn’t realize she was on the verge of breaking down. And here I thought you all were thick-skinned. I’ve barely said a few words, and you’re already crumbling?” He smirked before shaking his head. “Honestly, Grandma made a mistake back then—she shouldn’t have married such a pathetic excuse for a man. She should’ve just let those two be together from the start. Then maybe Grandma Rhett wouldn’t have had to spend her entire life living under the shadow of being a mistress. Imagine if this scandal made headlines—it wouldn’t be a pretty picture!”
• His sharp words sent a wave of murmurs through the crowd. He continued, his voice calm yet cutting. “From what I heard, Grandpa Rhett was the one who insisted on marrying my grandmother. He even agreed to take her family name in the marriage. Grandma wasn’t naive—she knew the Rhett family only wanted to latch onto the Jayce family’s wealth and status. But she believed that since he was willing to go so far, he would at least remain faithful. Turns out, she overestimated him. Even after being given everything, he still cheated. If she had known the kind of man he really was, why would she have wasted her time on him? With her beauty, intelligence, and family background, she could’ve married someone a hundred times better.”
• He turned his gaze toward Grandma Rhett, his expression unreadable. “And you—you must have resented Grandma all these years, haven’t you? You hated her for rightfully holding the title of Madam Rhett while you lived under the label of a homewrecker. That must’ve eaten away at you, so now you’re taking your frustration out on Liza. But tell me, what does she have to do with your past grievances? She wasn’t even born when all this happened.”
