Chapter 283

As Mona’s words sank in, a wave of emotions swept through the crowd. Many of the female guests couldn't hold back their tears, deeply moved by her painful story. The atmosphere was filled with hushed murmurs, and condemnations toward Ryan echoed among the guests.
Mona’s young son, too innocent to grasp the full gravity of the situation, noticed his mother’s tears. Concerned, he reached up with his small hands and gently wiped them away. "Mommy, why are you crying?" he asked, his voice filled with innocence and worry.
Mona forced a chuckle, quickly wiping her tears and putting on a brave smile. "Nothing, sweetheart. Mommy’s not crying. I’m okay."
