    ?Chapter 373:


    The hotel lights shone starkly white.


    Elena adjusted the ring on her finger, positioning the gem at Sylvia.


    Upon Cecily’s return, Sylvia quickly clung to her. “Mom, my stomach is hurting. It must be from when Elena pushed me earlier. She hurt my stomach.”


    Cecily took Sylvia’sint seriously and was eager to take her to a doctor.


    Sylvia subtly pulled at Cecily’s sleeve, signaling her to stay as the Harper family’s assets were not yet secured.


    Cecily caught on and promptly suggested, “Let’s go to the room and rest first. Elena, you must stay with Sylvia. If anything happens to her baby, you’ll be held ountable!”


    Perry was already waiting upstairs. Cecily knew she needed to bring Elena there. This ce was buzzing with too many people and too much chatter.


    Sylvia continued her act, looking distressed. “Mom, will my baby be okay? I’m really frightened. We can’t let anything happen to my unborn child.”


    Cecily steadied Sylvia and shot a stern look at Elena. “What are you waiting for? Take Sylvia to her room so she can rest.”


    Sylvia feigned distress, a cunning sparkle in her eye. She knew the drug’s effects would soon take hold. Once Elena entered the room, she wouldn’t be able to leave.


    Elena, however, remainedposed and slipped off her ring. She addressed Sylvia, “I didn’t even touch you earlier. You endangered your own baby just to set up this scene. And now you want to hold me responsible?”


    Sylvia internally rejoiced, convinced no one would side with Elena. She tearfully said, “I didn’t do that.”


    Elena didn’t move, and Cecily’s voice grew more urgent. “Sylvia loves her child dearly. How could she hurt herself? Stop lying—”


    Elena interjected, “Not many know that this ring isn’t merely for show. It can record videos. Let’s see the truth for ourselves.”


    Elena yed a video from her phone, and Sylvia’s voice filled the room. “Elena, do you realize how much I despise you?”


    The recording captured earlier events, and realizing her mistake, Sylvia lunged to snatch Elena’s phone.


    Elena skillfully dodged, and the footage continued, reying Sylvia’s bitter words and even showing her orchestrated tumble.

    The guests watched, now seeing the deceitful side of Sylvia, who had always projected herself as gentle and caring.


    The guests gazed at Sylvia, their faces filled with disgust.


    “It’s ridiculous. The Reed family’s wealth is nothingpared to the Harper family’s. If not for the mix-up at birth, Elena would have grown up among the’s elite. Do you think she would care about the Reed family’s modest fortune?”


    “Clearly, Elena is the real victim here. How can Sylvia use her of…”


    Sylvia’splexion whitened and then reddened with embarrassment, her fingernails digging into her palms.


    The Griffiths family arrivedte, and Darren, oblivious to the earlier disturbance, caught snippets of conversation among the guests.


    Darren asked, “What’s happening here? Why has everyone gathered?”


    Several guests, who were business associates of the Griffiths family, quickly exined, “Mr. Griffiths, your fiancée staged a fall and used Elena of pushing her. Now, the Reed family is absurdly demanding that Elena hand over half of the Harper family’s assets.”
