Faye Sterling and Aaron Underwood were passionately involved in the bathroom.
Outside in the banquet hall, guests had already seated orderly, waiting for this wedding of the century to unfold.
Rosalie Ray and George Sterling were together, hosting relatives, friends, and partners who came from Veridia City, Rosalie wearing a look of springtime satisfaction.
George saw that Faye Sterling had successfully married Alaric Faulkner, and didn’t mind much about her background.
Although Faye Sterling wasn’t his biological daughter, it was enough as long as she could bring him benefits.
Today he wore a face full of smiles.
Soon, several business partners from Veridia City showed up, approaching George Sterling to shake hands and exchange pleasantries.
"Mr. Sterling, your daughter owes her rise to her children and has married into the Faulkner Family. You’ll certainly have to lift us up more in the future."
"Indeed, Faye finally sees the clouds parting to reveal the moon. You’ll get to enjoy the fruits too."
"Please don’t forget us."
"Yes, we are waiting for your support."
Among those people were some whom George Sterling hadn’t managed successful business conversations with before.
Now they proactively fawned over him, giving George a sense of pride and ambition.
At this moment, he felt, so what if Faye Sterling wasn’t his own daughter, as long as she could help him.
"Everyone, enjoy your drinks and food tonight. I have a big gift waiting for you all." George intended to take advantage of this opportunity to finalize the cooperation.
"Mr. Sterling, you’re too kind." The group thanked him repeatedly.
As the group jovially chatted, the enormous screen suddenly flickered.
Then an intense and explosive scene abruptly appeared before everyone’s eyes.
A woman and a man were tangled together, their intimate noises rising one after another.
The banquet hall’s sound system was surround sound, and the noises coming through the speakers felt especially intense.
George Sterling recognized the woman inside, his brain buzzing, his expression changing drastically as he stood there stunned.
"Mm... Aaron, slower..."
Faye Sterling’s soft voice resounded.
"Don’t worry, I certainly won’t let my child be harmed. Is it good? How does it compare to Alaric Faulkner?"
Faye’s voice was intermittent, "Alaric Faulkner never... ah, just... just never touched me!"
The intense ambiguous sounds exploded, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
"Holy crap, that’s the bride Faye Sterling?"
"So thrilling! Faye Sterling having an affair with another man in the bathroom?"
"Alaric Faulkner, out of all days, was given a massive surprise by Faye Sterling on their wedding day!"
"Faye Sterling sure knows how to play. Is she planning a fling with another man before the wedding?"
"No way, didn’t you hear what she said? She said Alaric Faulkner never touched her, yet she’s pregnant."
"Oh my gosh! Alaric Faulkner’s unknowingly a father!"
Amidst the clamor, Rosalie Ray and Susan Langley felt as if they had plunged into icy wilderness, their bodies freezing over.
Their minds buzzed blank, unable to react at all.
Susan Langley listened to the whispers surrounding her, her face growing so dark!
The child isn’t Alaric Faulkner’s?

Faye Sterling! She actually dared!
Such audacity, to conceive a bastard child and try to pin it on Alaric Faulkner!
Susan Langley remembered her bustling around for the wedding these days, she shook with anger, wishing she could tear Faye apart.
George Sterling had been with such pride moments ago, now that everyone saw Faye’s vile, scandalous act, he felt utterly humiliated.
Like mother, like daughter indeed!
Faye really took after Rosalie.
George Sterling was beside himself with shame and fury, raising his hand in anger, a harsh slap landing on Rosalie’s face, knocking her to the ground.
