Chapter 49: A Double Breakdown

Sonya was the one Seraphina had stepped on for eight years, fueling her vanity and sense of superiority. Seraphina never expected Sonya to marry into the Reynolds family, marrying the one man who'd rejected her.

Julian Jennings's breakdown had shocked the guests, but Seraphina's outburst was even more astonishing. The Reynolds Crown Prince's bride was beautiful, elegant, and poised. Why were Julian Jennings and Seraphina so devastated? Sonya stepped from behind Henry, her gaze cold.

"Wasn't someone talking about slapping themselves yesterday?" Sonya sneered."Ms. West, you have many fans outside."

Seraphina glared."How dare you,

"Say one more word, and I'll rip your mouth apart!"

Grandma Reynolds stormed forward, standing beside Sonya.

"My granddaughter-in-law is wonderful. Anyone who bullies her should ask the Reynolds family for permission first!"

Sonya turned; Henry's parents, Jason Reynolds-they all stood behind her. This was what having family support felt like. She didn't need to fight alone.

New York's elite watched; reporters clicked away; fans crowded outside. Everyone was witnessing this moment.

Sonya held Henry's hand in one hand and Grandma Reynolds's in the other, the warmth grounding her.

"I didn't want to talk about the three of us, but my silence doesn't mean I was wrong. We broke up, and I didn't want unnecessary drama. But you repeatedly bullied me, and I endured it. But this is the last time. Don't push me; I know too much about your dirty secrets!" Seraphina gritted her teeth, forcing a smile. "I'm not afraid of you. Don't think you're important just because you married into the Reynolds family."

"Shut up!" Jennings's father glared at Seraphina, then at Henry. "What's wrong with you? Apologize to Mrs. Sullivan!"

Seraphina stared at him incredulously."Father, you want me to apologize to... Sonya?"

Jennings's father sighed, approaching Seraphina. "If you still want to marry into our family, apologize now!"

"No!" Seraphina cried.

Mrs. Jennings stood behind her, scolding Jennings's father."Are you crazy? Make Seraphina apologize? What about the Jennings family's face?" "You're crazy! Is face more important than our partnership?"
