Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2096

Elysia, as well as Solvanna in her arms, looked shockingly at the person before them.

With a steely gaze, Serelith firmly seized Elysia's raised hand. In the next instant, her eyes hardened, and without hesitation, she swung her arm toward Elysia.

A loud crisp pierced through the air, stunning everyone present. The woman barking in pleas had also fallen silent.

Frightened and in disbelief, Elysia couldn't fathom that her own daughter would raise her hand against her. However, the slap she had expected to land on her face never came.

Instead, it struck Solvanna, who had been resting gently in her arms.

Elysia stood frozen, shocked as she watched the red mark quickly form on Solvanna's cheek. The latter was equally stunned.

What had once been understood as an invisible slap from a distance now turned into a tangible blow. A slap delivered in front of so many guests, by none other than the one person she despised most, Serelith.

Solvanna pressed her hand to her cheek, her mind spiraling as the burning sensation seared through her.

Not only had she ruined her coming-of-age ceremony, but she had also humiliated her with a public slap! How audacious of her!

Compared to the murderous glare Solvanna shot her, Serelith's heart raced with barely contained excitement.

She had done it! Not only had she spoken up to claim her true identity, but she had also returned the humiliation Solvanna had once inflicted upon her!

Serelith had always known that Solvanna wasn't as kind as she appeared.

When she was first brought back into the family, struggling to survive on spoiled food after being tormented by Fenric, Solvanna had come to her under the guise of pity, claiming to bring her food.

Instead, she deliberately tipped over the delicious meal, spilling it onto the floor.

Calmly, she withdrew her hand and released the one she had seized from Elysia. With deliberate, unhurried movements, she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the palm that had struck Solvanna.

This deliberate gesture, so casually performed in front of the guests, only fueled Solvanna's fury, which had barely been contained after the slap.

Her rage surged, and she was ready to charge at Serelith, with eyes blazing with hatred. But before she could act, Elysia quickly stepped in, holding her back.

Though enraged by the slap, Elysia knew now was not the time for rash action.

After all, it was Serelith who had defied her and struck Solvanna, making it clear that Serelith would be seen as the one in the wrong even if the truth came out today.

Her reputation would be ruined, and no family would be willing to marry their son to someone like her in the future.
