Chapter 56: All she had left was hatred
After the scandal in the mansion’s hall, rumors quickly spread throughout the place, where two families invited by the Medici clan were gathered.
Whispers echoed through the hallways, passing from mouth to mouth among the various servants.
"Did you hear that? They say that when the seventh young master, Kael, discovered them together... something inside him broke. Lady Evelyn was left trembling in the middle of the hall, choking back tears, while everyone stared."
"I heard something different... It wasn’t just words. They say that the young master, blind with rage, hit her before leaving. And who could blame him? Finding your fiancée in the arms of your brother...!" A shiver ran through the group.
"Good heavens! If it had been him, there would be no one left alive to tell the tale." The servant’s voice trembled with indignation.
"Hmm... I was told something different." A maid crossed her arms and lowered her voice. "The young master Kael didn’t touch her. Not a word, not a gesture. He just looked at her... as if she were already dead to him. And then he left."
The rumors continued to circulate for a few more days, becoming increasingly distorted from the facts. The breakup of the engagement between Kael Medici and Evelyn Blossom was also announced, causing further commotion in the mansion.
This was a serious blow to the Blossom family’s pride. In addition, they had to pay a fine for the emotional damage caused to the affected party, which added to their humiliation.
Even though human civilization lives in the mountains, news travels fast. Evelyn’s reputation plummeted, and she was branded a "cheating bitch," which was true.
