Chapter44
The woman beside her was dressed in a sharply tailored white Chanel suit, her long hair pinned up to reveal a grace- ful swan neck, her entire presence exuding an air of aloof nobility and distance.
The moment she saw Florentino and Sandria standing so close together, in such an intimate posture-
The woman’s expression instantly turned cold.
Florentino frowned slightly.
That woman was Carolina Ritter, heiress of the Ritter family at Glottenham.
She was also the legendary well–matched fiancee of Ashlan.
Rumor had it that her father once kept a mistress, and that woman was crippled by her mother–ruthless to the extreme. The Ritter heiress had inherited all her mother’s methods, and even surpassed her.
What was Courtney up to?
Courtney then feigned intimacy, shaking the woman’s arm.
“Carol, look, that’s the Ms. Farley I told you about.”
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but just enough for the guests at several nearby tables to hear clearly.
“She used to work for Tino, and the two of them were always close. Plus, she gets along well with Ashlan too…”
Courtney’s light, offhand remark was like a poisoned needle, striking precisely at Carolina’s nerves.
Carolina’s face turned so cold it could freeze.
She lifted her chin and looked at Sandria, her gaze scrutinizing.
“Oh, that face is quite exquisite.”
Courtney clung affectionately to Carolina’s arm, her face beaming with an innocent, radiant smile.
“Carol, don’t get the wrong idea. Maybe Ms. Farley and Ashlan are just good friends. Those photos might be fake, not real at all. You mustn’t believe them. How could Ashlan be that kind of person?”
Courtney’s voice was sweet and soft, but her words were like poisoned knives. Then, as if by accident, she took out the photos and let one slip to the floor.
In an instant, the photo showing Sandria and Ashlan in an intimate act was exposed to everyone’s view.
The surrounding guests craned their necks, whispering among themselves.

“Who is that woman? She just got caught red–handed by the real fiancee.”

Carolina, heiress of the Glottenham Ritter family, had received the finest education since childhood–there was nothing she hadn’t seen.
She ignored Courtney’s attempts to stir things up, simply fixing Sandria with a cold, emotionless gaze.
It was the look of someone in power scrutinizing an intruder, full of innate superiority.
“Ms. Farley, I need you to explain yourself.”
Florentino’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He felt that Sandria had utterly disgraced him.
It was bad enough that Sandria clung to Ashlan, but to be photographed as well?
To flaunt it in front of Carolina–she must have a death wish!
Did she not realize that Carolina could crush her as easily as an ant?
“Sandria, aren’t you going to apologize to Ms. Ritter!”
He barked harshly, trying to regain control of the situation.
Sandria couldn’t even be bothered to spare him a glance.
She didn’t even look at the smug smile on Courtney’s face.
Her gaze landed directly on Carolina, and then she smiled.
“Ms. Mosley is mistaken.”
Sandria’s voice was calm and clear, yet it reached every ear in the room.
“The photos are real.”
The entire room fell silent in an instant.
Everyone looked at her as if she were insane.
“Not only are the photos real,” Sandria ignored everyone’s reactions and continued slowly, “he gave me a car, and a card too. That’s all real.”
Was she… openly admitting to being kept?
And right in front of the real fiancee?
How brazen, how shameless!
Courtney could barely keep from laughing out loud–this was exactly the effect she wanted!
Sandria, you’re finished this time!

Carolina’s face finally darkened. She pushed Courtney’s hand away and stepped forward.
She didn’t lose control, her voice remained steady, but it carried a chilling force.
“Oh? Ms. Farley and Ashlan are very close?”
