Elaine stood on the stage, her face glowing with pride. "Thank you all for coming to our family's banquet. Thank you for witnessing my daughter, Marie, become the new heir of the Ward Group. Her father and I have had high hopes for her since she was a little girl."
"She has never disappointed us. She has excelled in every aspect of her life and has always been our pride and joy, the apple of our eye."
"We are entrusting the Ward Group to our daughter Marie with complete confidence, because we believe that with her abilities, she will elevate it to a whole new level. As for those delusional people who think they can replace her, they should take a good long look in the mirror and ask themselves if they're even worthy."
Natalie's expression remained cold as whispers rippled through the crowd.
Elaine looked directly at Natalie and continued, "I know everyone must be curious about the recent rumors. I am here to clarify that the stories about my daughter being born at the same time as a certain woman are malicious lies!"
"That woman's goal is to replace my daughter and become a child of our family. It's absurd, isn't it? Have you ever heard of anything so ridiculous? Have you ever seen someone so shameless?"
Everyone turned to look at Natalie with ill intent.
Elaine sneered. "I just want to ask that woman, does she think we're a couple of fools who are easy to deceive?"
"Did she think a forged DNA test would make us kick out our own daughter? Did she think one preposterous news story about them being born at the same time would be enough to force her way into our family? Do we look like idiots to you?"
"I'm warning her, she had better not try any more funny business with my daughter, Marie. Otherwise, my husband and I will fight her to the death and make sure she meets a gruesome end!"
At this, all eyes were fixed on Natalie. Everyone knew exactly who Mrs. Ward was talking about.
The whispers started again.
