The room fell silent , and everyone’s expressions shifted instantly .
Caleb’s voice was cold and sharp . “ What nonsense is she talking ? ”
Even Zoe’s face darkened . “ The DNA test is solid . ”
Luke spoke up , his tone calm but firm . “ She wouldn’t dare make such claims without some kind of proof . Let her in and get to the bottom of this. If she spreads rumors outside , it’ll damage the Saxon family’s name . ”
Joseph gave a subtle nod , and the butler Zayne went to fetch the guest .
Derek decided to stay , curiosity getting the better of him . He wanted to see what kind of trouble that woman was going to stir up .
Soon , Alice entered , led by the butler .
She was still wearing the same outfit from her pitiful livestream , looking utterly haggard . Her dark circles made her look like a ghost .
The Saxon family members reacted differently to her disheveled appearance , their expressions a mix of disdain and unease .
Luke broke the silence . “ You said Aria was swapped . What do you mean by that ? ”
Alice sniffled , and tears streamed down her face . “ Aria might not be a Saxon . She went missing when she was ten , and as soon as she came back , you
took her in .
“ The real Aria could still be in her hands ! ”
Zoe shot to her feet , her voice sharp with disbelief . “ What do you mean ? She went missing at ten ? ”
Logan’s tone was icy and commanding . “ Explain yourself . Now . ”
Alice’s face twisted with panic . “ I – I’ll tell you everything , but you have to save my son first ! He’s been wrongly arrested by the police . Get him out , and I’ll tell you everything ! ”
Dominic’s name was on the contract , unrelated to Alice or Austin . Both Alice and Austin had been detained for 24 hours for spreading false information
online .
The police discovered Austin had purchased a large amount of drugs , enough to face a sentence of seven years or even life imprisonment .
Alice refused to believe her son could commit such a crime , insisting he was framed . But with undeniable evidence against him , she had no choice but to turn to the Saxon family for help .
The Saxon family was even more convinced that Alice was making up the story to manipulate them into saving her son .
Logan immediately ordered , “ Zayne , call security and have her thrown out . ”
Alice , desperate , shouted , “ I’m not lying ! She really disappeared for ten years ! You can check the police records ! ”
Joseph’s face darkened . “ Logan , call the police now and confirm if Aria really vanished for ten years . ”
Logan pulled out his phone , ready to make the call .
Caleb smirked and said , “ No need to call . Aria did disappear for ten years . ”
Luke’s face froze in shock . “ So , she really isn’t part of the Saxon family ? ”
Caleb’s tone turned cold . “ Uncle Luke , when did I ever say Aria wasn’t my sister ? Don’t twist my words . ”
