The group had barely recovered from the shocking revelation about Yu Xin when another bombshell was dropped, leaving everyone’s nerves trembling.

An old lover?

So, Yu Xin was the daughter of Madam Qin San’s old lover?

Suddenly, everything made sense. How could a mother not love her own child? Unless she didn’t love the child’s father and instead loved another man more.

To protect her old lover’s children, Madam Qin San was not only adopting his daughter but also scheming to marry her own daughter off to his son. No matter how despicable the man’s character was, in her eyes, he was perfect. She was willing to destroy her own children for the sake of that family.

This was outright betrayal—abandoning her own family to drain the Qin family’s wealth for the benefit of her lover’s household.

The gazes of everyone in the room, sharp as knives, were relentlessly cutting into Madam Qin San.
