However, Liora remained completely unaware of everything that was happening behind the scenes. Dressed in a stunning gown, she stood proudly on stage.
The crowd cheered for her, clapping with admiration.
From the sidelines, Elowen and Wilde smiled proudly at her. Elowen beamed with
satisfaction, announcing to the audience, “This is my eldest daughter, who was lost to us for
many years.”
His words immediately sparked confusion among many. Those unaware of the situation began whispering, “Isn’t the Sterling Family only supposed to have one daughter, Narissa?”
On the stage, Liora’s smile froze, a flicker of coldness flashing in her eyes when she heard Narissa’s name again. But she didn’t dwell on it. Whether it was the Sterling Family or her father, everything that Narissa once had would soon be hers.
Some in the crowd mistakenly believed it was Narissa’s birthday celebration and they couldn’t help but feel confused.
However, Elowen then revealed that Liora was the child he and Wilde had many years ago. In an instant, Liora’s identity shifted from that of an illegitimate daughter to the rightful eldest daughter of the Sterling Family.
A few in the crowd led the applause. “Congratulations, Mr. Sterling, on finding your beloved daughter! What a joyful occasion!”
Amid the flurry of compliments, Liora smiled widely. But just as the moment seemed perfect, Evan and Drake entered the hall, their faces cold and unmoving. Evan stepped forward, his voice ice–cold as he interrupted, “Dad, I disagree.”
The expressions of Elowen, Liora and Wilde instantly changed. Elowen glared at his son, his voice low and stern. “Why do you disagree? Liora is your sister, you can’t treat her unfairly.”
Liora regained her composure and, with a look of feigned innocence, turned to Drake and Evan. “Drake, did Evan say something to you? I don’t understand what I’ve done wrong for her to treat me like this.”
Tears welled up in her eyes. However, Drake’s expression remained unchanged, his eyes cold as he addressed her. “You know exactly what you’ve done.”
Lion’s heart skipped a beat. She exchanged a quick glance with her mother, her eyes betraying a flash of panic.
Elowen slammed his hand onto the table in anger. “What has Narissa said now? Ever since she came back, there’s been nothing but trouble. I should’ve never let her return.”
Wilde, standing by, quickly stepped in to soothe him. “You know how the eldest daughter is. Don’t let her affect you. Take care of yourself.”
As this scene unfolded before him, Evan’s expression grew colder with every passing moment his anger simmering beneath the surface Without besitation he turned to his father

As this scene unfolded before him, Evan’s expression grew colder with every passing moment, his anger simmering beneath the surface. Without hesitation, he turned to his father.
“Dad, look at this.”
In the next moment, the birthday MV that had been playing, showcasing beautiful photos of Liora, abruptly switched to a video of Narissa being brutally beaten in prison.
Not only that, but it also revealed the conspiracy behind it, with Liora’s involvement in the plot. As soon as she saw the footage, Liora let out a scream, her face filled with panic ast she frantically tried to explain to Elowen, “Dad, please listen to me, it’s not what it looks like! Someone is framing me, everything in that video is a lie!”
Elowen’s smile froze on his face as he watched the screen, where his daughter, who looked so much like Astrid, was being tortured. His eyes filled with rage. As the truth about the conspiracy and the assassination attempt came to light, his expression turned completely cold.
Wilde immediately sensed something was wrong and grabbed Elowen’s arm urgently. “Elowen, Liora has always been kind and innocent. There’s no way she would do something like this. She must have been framed! With the advancement of technology these days, it’s not impossible for someone to manipulate things to this extent. Someone with a wicked heart is trying to drive Liora to her death!”
Her voice was filled with grief and Liora, also crying, said, “Dad, how could I ever do such a thing to my sister? This is all part of someone else’s scheme to frame me.”
However, despite the desperate cries from the mother and daughter, Elowen’s heart remained cold. Soon, another video appeared on the screen. This time, it showed the figures of
Wilde and Liora.
“Liora, you did well. Astrid stole my man back then and forced us to live abroad for more than a decade. It’s a pity she didn’t die early, but now, all hers are mine.”
Wilde patted Liora’s head, her tone filled with extreme satisfaction. “That little bitch took everything from us, now you go take away that little bitch’s. It’s truly an eye for an eye!”
Liora’s eyes sparkled with greed. “Mom, can I do something to Narissa?”
Wilde chuckled, her smile full of indulgence. “Do as you please. After all, no one believes that little bitch now. As long as you don’t kill her, you can do whatever you want!”
