Chapter 4 Leaked Video

She was none other than Claire, the eldest daughter of the Donovans who hac been missing for four years!

Amid the shock, the upper-class women noticed something quite interesting.

“When I saw Clarissa just now, I thought she was pretty. But now that Claire is wearing the same dress, Clarissa pales in comparison.”

“Absolutely! Dressing alike is not the issue. The issue is who can wear it better. Clarissa doesn’t have the curves that Claire does.”

“And that’s not all. Clarissa wears heavy makeup to appear mature and charming but Claire is naturally radiant, enhancing her youthful charm. In fact,

. Clarissa looks several years older than Claire.””

The noble lady was amused and said, “With Claire’s appearance, we’re in for a good show!”

Clarissa overheard their conversation, and a trace of malice flashed in her

eyes.

She had put so much effort into her appearance, intending to outshine everyone tonight and make Xander even more infatuated with her beauty. Yet, Claire’s sudden appearance stole the spotlight. How did Claire escape death in the past four years?

“Claire, I knew you’d come today.”

Clarissa walked over to Claire first, affectionately linking arms with her. To outsiders, it seemed like, they were close and loving sisters..

Clarissa’s acting skills had reached new heights in the four years since they last saw each other.

Claire smiled faintly, placing her hand on Clarissa’s arm. “It’s my engagement day, so of course I’d be here.”

If they were going to put on a show, they might as well do it together. Let’s see who cracks first!

Indeed, Clarissa’s face changed several colors in an instant. Awkwardly tugging at the corner of her mouth, she nonchalantly let go of Claire’s arm. “Claire, stop kidding…”

“I’m not kidding.” Claire raised her hand to elegantly tuck a lock of hair behind her ear and looked at her with a coy smile. “Everyone knows Xander and I have been engaged since childhood. We never broke it off. So, since we’re getting engaged today, it’s between him and me.”

The moment Claire appeared, Alice knew trouble was brewing. Seeing her daughter silenced by Claire’s remarks, she adjusted her elegant shawl and approached like a high-society lady.

“Claire, you left Xander heartbroken when you eloped with another man and disappeared for four years. It was only with Clarissa’s help that he was able to move on. Now that Xander and Clarissa are together, you are suddenly unhappy. How can you be so selfish and unsupportive of your sister? Can’t you be happy for her?”

Clarissa bit her lip, feeling so wronged that she was nearly in tears. She clung to Alice’s hand and said, “Mom, please stop. Don’t say this in front of
