Faux Vows, True Desires

People instantly began to whisper among themselves.

In order to reclaim their daughter, the Blue family's boss was pulling out all the stops. The missing daughter, who had not yet returned home, instantly became the most revered and untouchable woman in town.

Meanwhile, at the Porter family residence

The sound of objects being smashed echoed in the grand hall every now and then.

The servants were trembling, hiding in corners, trying their best not to draw attention to themselves for fear of getting caught in the crossfire.

After a while, the grand hall finally regained its peace.

Mrs. Porter, with a pain in her heart, looked at the shards scattered all over the floor and said to her husband, "If you're angry, why don't you just yell at them? Why smash these antiques? They're worth a fortune."

Mr. Porter had a gloomy face, with his eyes flashing with rage.

After a while, he said to his wife, "Call Madeleine now. Tell her to come home. Let Luna handle the situation over there. Luna will take care of it."

He knew that Lucinda Blue had been found, and he didn't just find out today.

He assumed Nathan would keep the news quiet for Lucinda's safety, at least for a while.

But to his surprise, Nathan quickly announced the news. The questions raised by the journalists he hired were easily brushed off by Nathan.

Now, who would dare question Lucinda's authenticity?

That would be questioning Grace's fidelity to her marriage. With Grace now residing in the Blue family's backyard, they shouldn't underestimate her. She's a force to be reckoned with. Picking a fight with her was asking for trouble.

Their co-conspirator, Hayden Blue, and other members of the Blue family, due to Grace's presence, found it impossible for them to join him in questioning Lucinda's authenticity. After all, Lucinda was the spitting image of a younger Grace.

"I'll call Madeleine now."
