Chapter 742

Everyone in the ballroom watched the scene unfold, utterly stunned by what they were witnessing.

“If what Johnny is saying is true, then this is a real-life version of the farmer and the snake fable playing out right in front of us,” one guest murmured loud enough for those nearby to bear.

‘Exactly. They took a friend in, gave them support and every possible break, only to get betrayal in return. That family drove their benefactors straight to ruin, and now, years later, Julia is inserting herself into their granddaughter’s marriage. The whole bunch of hem are nothing but ruthless vipers who take everything and give nothing back,” another attendee replied, shaking their head in lisgust.

‘She got a taste of what she could get the first time she meddled, and once Maggie married into New York’s highest-ranking social ircles, jealousy ate her alive. So she pulled the exact same trick all over again. Let’s be honest, without attaching herself to Franklin, none of the Browns would ever have been granted entry to an event like this. They will stoop to absolutely anything to climb the social ladder and move up in the world.”

I’ve dined with Franklin, Julia and Maggie before. Right there in front of Maggie, Julia would sit herself down next to Franklin, icting as if Maggie didn’t even exist, carrying herself like she was Franklin’s official girlfriend. Looking back on it now, she really has no shame at all.”

You’re giving her too little credit. At every gala she attends, she pulls that exact same stunt, parading around as Franklin’s girlfriend while Maggie is standing right there. And behind closed doors, she keeps spreading vicious rumors to ruin Maggie’s reputation. Unbelievable.”

lex, Daphne, and Yale sat frozen, their minds reeling with shock and disbelief as they listened. Their eyes stayed locked firmly on ulia.

What Johnny was describing-could it possibly be real?

Jo. There was no way everything Johnny laid out was actually true.

evi was equally shaken.

He stared back and forth between Franklin, Maggie, and Julia, his emotions tangled and heavy. He leaned over toward Harry and poke in a quiet, troubled tone.

Harry… none of what Johnny just said can actually be true, can it?”

f every word held weight, then the Julia they had all known for so long was nothing more than a carefully constructed lie.

Harry felt just as conflicted.

Je had always believed he understood every detail of the complicated dynamic between Franklin, Julia, and Maggie.

n this exact moment, however, it dawned on him that he barely knew any of the three people at all.

‘ulling himself out of his stunned daze after Levi’s question, Harry glanced over toward Maggie and the rest of the group. His voice vas low and hesitant.

I think.. it might well be true.”

Levi went completely still upon hearing that answer.

Every guest in the hall waited with bated breath, eager to hear how Julia would respond to these serious accusations.

Julia only squeezed her hands tight and said absolutely nothing.

Johnny showed no intention of waiting patiently for her to collect herself. He shot a sharp glance toward Julia, then shifted his gaze over to members of the Brown and Green familles standing a short distance away.

Ms. Brown, regarding every point I have just laid out, tell me this-which single detail have I fabricated, or where exactly have I slandered you?

‘Point out whatever claims you believe are false, and we can unpack every last bit of it for everyone here tonight. If we cannot settle his matter in this ballroom, Maggie and I have no reservations about uploading Maggie’s mother and your father’s divorce papers onto social media. We will lay the full record of their messy divorce proceedings out for the public to see, and let everyone revisit exactly how your family bit the hand that fed you. We hold piles of hard evidence. What do you say, Ms. Brown?”

A heavy silence fell over the entire venue.

ulia pressed her lips together firmly and offered no reply.

anice and the rest of her family likewise remained mute.

Sophia could feel every pair of judgmental eyes boring into her from all directions. She bit down hard on her lower lip, keeping her head bowed. Tears welled up and burned behind her eyes, yet she dared not let them fall.
