Melinda, visibly agitated, scoffed, "Oh, Tiffany, so you're wearing the real Purple Angel. Big deal! Everyone knows you're a failure who couldn't possibly afford it. Con, tell us, did your foolish lover buy it for you?" Suddenly, a loud clap echoed through the hall. Connor had slapped Melinda across the face. "How dare you!" Stunned, Melinda retorted defiantly, "Connor, Tiffany has betrayed you with another man. Aren't you going to do anything about it?" Connor signaled to Domenic, who promptly produced the purchase certificate and invoice. Snatching them up, Connor hurled them at Melinda's face, his voice icy. "See for yourself." Your hub for updates: gVlnovlsMelinda picked up the documents from the floor, and the onlookers crowded around to inspect them "It appears Mr. Connor Daniels is the one who purchased the dress for Tiffany." "Whoever said that Mr. Daniels didn't care for Tiffany? He was ready to shell out thirty million dollars just to buy her a dress. Clearly, he holds her in high regard." Following this revelation, everyone swiftly distanced themselves from Sansa and Ayla. Moments earlier, Sansa and Ayla had been relentless, badgering Tiffany like mad dogs. The crowd feared that they might get caught in the fallout when Connor decided to discipline the two of them Initially, bolstered by Melinda and numerous others, Sansa and Ayla had led the charge. But now, they found themselves suddenly isolated, unsure of what to do next In the midst of their panic, Connor declared, "Remove these two nuisances. They are banned from attending any Daniels family functions from here on out." Marc and Terry, who had been waiting for their cue, promptly stepped up and dragged Sansa and Ayla away, much like hauling away lifeless bodies Melinda trembled with fear. Today was her engagement party, and she had intended to overshadow Marissa in the celebrations. Instead, Melinda found herself publicly humiliated and even physically assaulted. Now, she dreaded the possible consequences that might follow. Regret washed over Melinda for her actions Connor shot Melinda a frosty look and rebuked, "I don't care about the kind of upbringing you had in the Warren family, but once you're a Daniels, you need to learn to respect your elders and shed your devious ways." This chastisement left the entire Warren family disgraced. Was he accusing them of poor upbringing? Trenton, red-faced and uncomfortable, wanted to defend his family, but Connor's authoritative presence silenced him Tears welled up in Melinda's eyes as she clenched her fists, her body nearly breaking under the weight of her jealousy and grief. Connor paused, then added, "Given that your engagement party is today, I won't discipline you this time. However, repeat this mistake, and expect twice the punishment. Understand?" "Yes, I understand," Melinda replied, her voice wavering with sobs. Connor turned away, addressing the gathered crowd. "Let it be known. If anyone else dares to slander my wife, expect no mercy from me." No sooner had Connor finished than Arabella chimed in, “And should anyone think to mistreat my grandson-in- law again, they'll find I'm no less forgiving." Arabella gestured towards Marissa's neck and declared, "Do you all see this? It was part of my dowry, and now, I've passed it on to my granddaughter-in-law." A voice from the crowd exclaimed, "Oh my! It's no wonder that necklace caught my eye. Since it once belonged to Mrs. Arabella Daniels as part of her dowry, that must be an incredibly valuable piece."
"I recall that necklace was originally from the royal collection, with over a thousand years of history. It's valued at one hundred and seventy million dollars."
"One hundred and seventy million dollars? Incredible! Tiffany is dressed in a gown worth thirty million adlars ve apda necklace valued at one hundred and seventy million. She is basking in lots of fondness and affection."
"I used to envy Melinda for the three-million-dollar necklace she received from her futuremother-in-law. Now that I compare the two, it's clear who is the favored one." As murmurs filled the air, Melinda wished she could disappear completely Suddenly, Lorna's voice cut through. "I disagree!"
