Twins - The Unforeseen Legacy of My Ex's Uncle-in-Law novel Chapter 323

"Just got back," Odette said, a hint of mischief in her voice. "Oh, and by the way, Drusilla is my sister. Not only is she a Creston University alum, but she was also married and divorced before tying the knot with Enoch! You know why they split? Because she cheated, had two kids with another man..."

Wasn't Rosalind just singing Drusilla's praises?

She was curious to see how Rosalind would continue her accolades now.

Upon hearing Odette's words, Rosalind's face turned a shade darker, well aware that Odette was deliberately making her look foolish.

Drusilla, sitting nearby, felt Odette's words slap her face with the weight of a physical blow.

Her expression hardened as she locked eyes with a smug Odette, who, satisfied with her impact, turned back to chat with the movie star sitting beside her.

Serge, observing from the sidelines, looked at Drusilla with concern. "Are you… okay?"

Odette's words had clearly crossed a line.

"I'm fine," Drusilla managed a strained smile, accustomed to the torment...

In the two years Odette had been around, engaged to Enoch, she never missed an opportunity to belittle Drusilla or bring up her past indiscretions.

Serge, witnessing the scene, was all too familiar with the story behind Drusilla's so-called "affair" and the subsequent divorce. He knew the depth of humiliation and injustice Odette's words carried for her.

...

Soon, the talent show featuring Colton and Cormac kicked off, and Drusilla set aside her troubles to focus on capturing the moment.

The boys were exceptional, and Drusilla was thoroughly engrossed in her photography, almost forgetting the earlier upset.

Serge watched her in awe, marveling at her resilience. If it were him, he doubted he'd be able to shake off the evening's events so easily.

But there she was, seemingly unaffected, as if the slight never happened. How much hardship had she endured to treat such injustice so lightly?

As the performance came to an end and the children were ushered outside by their teacher, Drusilla didn't linger to watch the rest of the show. Instead, she made her way out.

Serge followed, "Drusilla."
