Mrs. Cole looked down on Hailey.
Naturally, she looked down on Serena as well.
Because Serena had been raised in the countryside by Old Mrs. Wynn.
What country girl was worthy of her perfect son?
Later, when the Wynns brought Serena back from the countryside, they had pushed her onto her son, citing an engagement arranged by the previous generation.
That made her dislike Serena even more.
For four years, she had watched clearly how Serena chased after her son.
A country bumpkin, but her methods were certainly something else.
Knowing she wasn't welcome in the Wynn family.
She had latched onto her son, desperate to marry into the Cole family.
Mrs. Cole narrowed her eyes, sneered, and added, "Good thing you didn't let her pretty face fool you into honoring that sham engagement. From what Hailey is saying, it sounds like she got in by seducing some man, right?"
Now that Hailey had caused such a humiliating scene and was making a spectacle of herself on stage, she had dropped the familiar "Hailey” and was using her full
name.
Mrs. Cole's tone was dripping with disdain. "Girls like her will do anything for wealth, for a chance to marry into a rich family. They never stop to think if their background even matches their ambition."
"Mom!" Adrian frowned, cutting her off. "That's enough. Isn't it chaotic enough already?"
Sneaked in?
But... that day...
The place where Serena was playing the piano was the Blackwood family's heiress's coming-of-age party.
That was a place even his Cole family wasn't qualified to attend.
Hailey had gotten close to the Lancaster family's daughter, which was how the Wynns were able to go.
So how did Serena get in?
And now, how was she at this competition? And sitting... in the front row!
That was the front row!
A place where they would be stopped by bodyguards if they even got close!
Mrs. Cole looked at her son suspiciously.
She had belittled Serena many times in the past and had never seen her son react so strongly.
But seeing him frowning, his expression dark.
She decided to shut her mouth.
Perhaps he was just furious because of Hailey.
It seemed she needed to talk to her husband soon, find an opportunity and an
excuse to break off the engagement with the Wynn family.
That Wynn family, with one fake heiress and one real heiress, were both nothing but an embarrassment.
She wanted nothing to do with a family like that.
On the stage.
Hailey watched Serena walk up to
her, still carrying herself with that air of superiority, as if looking down on
her The skin on Haileys
face
twitched with anger.
What an act!
Did she think she could become a real big shot just by pretending to be one here?
Ridiculous!
She would watch as Hailey tore that bitch's mask off in front of everyone today!
As long as that bitch was more humiliated than her.
No one would remember how disgraced and embarrassed she had been!
Hailey sneered and opened her
mouth to mock her. "I know you and
Ms. Rainsford have a special
relationship but since this is, competition that prides itself on fairness, someone like you shouldn't be sitting in that seat, and you have no right to vote for us!"
The moment she spoke, she deliberately pointed out the connection between Serena and Daphne.
She was telling everyone that Serena was likely in the front row because of Daphne's personal favoritism.
"Serena, you're nothing but the
adopted daughter the Wynn family kicked out! Your real family are just poor scumbags from the slums. wonder which man you had to Seduce to get in here. It couldn't have been... Ms. Rainsford who introduced you, could it?"
