After David's announcement, Jana, Xian's grandmother, and the current head of the Muller family became frantic.
All her life, she has been consumed by insecurities and hypocrisy because she is an illegitimate child herself, and she knows clearly what lengths she has to go through just to be the head of the Muller family.
Now, upon knowing that Ava is the daughter of a servant, it's like looking at her own self, and with the fear that Ava would be as ambitious and ruthless as her, she immediately approached the grieving woman slumped in the arms of her father.
“Presumptuous! A shameless and illegitimate woman will never be a part of the Muller family.!”
The Muller family criticized Ava as they left the venue. They saw her as a cunning woman who dares marry into a powerful family for prestige and power, and they nearly fell as her victims.
One by one, the guests left, leaving behind Ava and her father, who were surrounded by reporters. Suddenly, an anxious woman arrived and immediately hugged Ava and Steven.
“Hailey,” Steven said. He doesn't know what to do with the bunch of reporters swarming over them, and more than that, his heart is hurting for Ava.
Steven and Hailey could only look at their daughter, who is staring at the crystal table in the center of the altar. That's where the wedding rings are—the ring she's supposed to be wearing. From the moment Xian left their wedding, she knew for a fact that she couldn't be his bride anymore.
Ava was frozen in place; she can't process what just happened. She spent all her life loving Xian, pouring her loyalty into him. Even if Xian prioritized Braille more than her, she blindly trusted and understood him.
Meanwhile, the reporters bombarded her with insensitive questions.
"Ms. Ava Hayden, why did Xian Muller leave just now?”
“Is it true that you are an illegitimate daughter? ”
“Did you want to marry into the Muller family with an ulterior motive? “
