<b>The </b>room fell silent, and everyone’s expressions shifted instantly.
Caleb’s voice was cold and sharp. “What nonsense is she talking?”
Even Zoe’s face darkened. “The DNA test is solid.”
Luke spoke up, his tone calm but firm. “She wouldn’t dare make such ims without some kind of proof. Let her in and get <i>to </i>the bottom of this. If <b>she </b>spreads rumors outside, it’ll damage the Saxon family’s name.”
Joseph gave <b>a </b>subtle nod, and the butler Zayne went to fetch the guest.
Derek decided to stay, curiosity getting the better of him. He wanted to see what kind of trouble that woman was going to stir up.
Soon, Alice entered, led by the butler.
She was still wearing the same outfit from her pitiful livestream, looking utterly haggard. Her dark circles made her look like a ghost.
The Saxon family members reacted differently to her disheveled appearance, their expressions a mix of disdain and unease.
Luke broke the silence. “You said Aria was swapped. What do you mean by that?<b>” </b>
Alice sniffled, and tears streamed down her face. “Aria might not be <b>a </b>Saxon. She went missing when she was ten<b>, </b>and as soon <b>as </b>she came back, <b>you </b>
took her in.
“The real Aria could still be in her hands!”
Zoe shot to her feet, her voice sharp with disbelief. “What do you mean? She went missing at ten?”
Logan’s tone was icy andmanding. “Exin yourself. Now.”
Alice’s face twisted with panic. “I–I’ll tell you everything, but you have to save my son first! He’s been wrongly arrested by the police. Get <b>him </b><b>out</b><b>, </b>and I’ll tell you everything!”
Dominic’s name was on the contract, unrted to Alice or Austin. Both Alice and Austin had been detained for 24 hours for spreading false information
online.
The police discovered Austin had purchased arge amount of drugs<b>, </b>enough to face a sentence of seven years or even life imprisonment.
Alice refused to believe her son couldmit such a crime, insisting he was framed. But with undeniable evidence against him<b>, </b>she had no choice but <b>to </b>turn to the Saxon family for help.
The Saxon family was even more convinced that Alice was making up the story to manipte them into saving her son.
Logan immediately ordered, “Zayne<b>, </b>call security and have her thrown out.”
Alice, desperate, shouted, “I’m not lying! She really disappeared for ten years! You can check the police records<b>!</b><b>” </b>
Joseph’s face darkened. “Logan<b>, </b>call the police now and confirm if Aria really vanished for ten years.<b>” </b>
Logan pulled out his phone, ready to make the call.
Caleb smirked and said, “No need <b>to </b>call. Aria did disappear for ten years.”
Luke’s face froze in shock. “So, she really isn’t part of the Saxon family?”
Caleb’s tone turned cold. “Uncle Luke<b>, </b>when did I ever say Aria wasn’t my <b>sister</b><b><i>? </i></b><b>Don’t </b>twist <b>my </b>words<b>.</b>”
