After the engagement party began, Zoey took the stage to thank her relatives. When she mentioned her mother, Yara's eyes sparkled. She was just about to step forward when Yvette kindly held her back. "The Lane family invited Gemma Zelnik, her biological mother."

Having helped to organize the engagement party, Yvette was familiar with the ceremony's proceedings.

Yara's expression instantly changed with those words. Zoey had told her yesterday that Gemma wouldn't come and that she would be introduced to everyone as Zoey's mother.

Yara thought Yvette was lying, but then she saw Gemma, who had short hair and was dressed in a standard dress, stepping into view and walking toward Zoey.

Gemma had average looks, but her whole demeanor exuded competence and intelligence. Those were qualities that Yara, who had lived a life of luxury, lacked. Gemma was also somewhat famous internationally. Upon Gemma's arrival, Zoey's eyes filled with admiration and pride. Compared to the insincere treatment she gave Yara, she regarded Gemma as her only true mother.

"Mom, I knew you would come," Zoey exclaimed, immediately hugging Gemma.

The bond between the mother-daughter duo on stage was evident. Meanwhile, Yara, who had just been telling everyone that Zoey was her daughter, now had a particularly bitter expression. People began to whisper.
