Chapter 803
Narcissa was so stunned that her mind went completely blank. “What… What did you say?”
Quentin, Jorge, and Kieran were just as shocked, their faces filled with disbelief.
In fact, Miles and Beck were even more stunned than Narcissa, Quentin, and the others. It took them quite a while to recover from Matthias’s words before they looked at Trevor in disbelief.
Wynn and Celeste… were actually half-sisters? And Wynn’s mother had been the other woman who had forced Celeste’s mother out of her marriage? In order to secure her position, she had even driven Celeste’s mother insane?
They actually knew a little about what had happened to Celeste’s mother, but they had never imagined that the person who had driven her to madness would be Wynn’s mother.
Trevor had never told them any of this.
If what Matthias said was true, then…
Seeing the shock on Narcissa and Quentin’s faces, Matthias smiled, though there was no warmth in his eyes. “Judging from how shocked the two of you look, it seems Ms. Locket never told you any of this.”
Wynn really had never told them. And they had never suspected that there was such a complicated history between her and Celeste. This revelation was completely beyond anything they had expected.
Narcissa and Quentin both stared blankly at Wynn.
Matthias no longer paid them any attention. After glancing at Wynn, he turned his gaze towards Lilian, Harvey, and the others before continuing.
“Back then, Cel’s grandmother and Ms. Locket’s grandmother were friends. Ms. Locket’s grandmother had married the wrong man and was struggling to get by, so Cel’s grandmother took pity on her and her family.
“She helped them financially and even paid for both of her children’s education. So, Cel’s mother and Ms. Locket’s mother essentially grew up together.
“The Rodriguez family helped the Shaw family time and time again. Yet in the end, the Shaw family repaid their kindness by betraying them.
“They interfered in the marriage of the very daughter whose family had helped them. And to secure their position, they resorted to every. means possible driving her insane and even taking over the Rodriguez family’s assets.
“In the end, Cel’s grandparents were forced to leave their hometown, taking their newly divorced, mentally unstable daughter and their eight-year-old granddaughter with them…”
As soon as Matthias finished, the entire room erupted again.
Everyone turned towards Wynn, Lilian, Harvey, and their family members.
Narcissa, Quentin, Jorge, Caleb, Kieran, and the others were once again stunned. Even Beck and Miles were speechless.
Under the weight of everyone’s eyes, Wynn clenched her hands tightly and lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression.
Lilian pressed her lips together, her face extremely grim.
But Matthias s wasn’t finished. “Cel’s mother had once been bright, talented, and full of life. She was the princess her parents had cherished above all else. After what happened, She could only spend the rest of her life in a psychiatric hospital, lost in her own world.
“Cel’s grandfather had already been in poor health. His daughter’s condition became the greatest pain in his life, and he passed away from grief a few years later. The family thought that would be the end of it.
“Apparently, that still wasn’t enough. More than ten years ago, Ms. Locket’s mother interfered in Cel’s mother’s marriage and drove her insane. Ten years later, Ms. Locket went and did the exact same thing.”
The crowd erupted in shocked gasps.
Matthias looked directly at Wynn, his expression dripping with sarcasm. “Ms. Locket; what should I call your family? Not only is your family’s lack of gratitude hereditary, but apparently so is being the other woman.”
He let out another mocking laugh. “Your family certainly has quite a collection of ‘fine qualities.’ Honestly, I’ve never seen a family as shameless as yours. You’ve really opened my eyes.”
