Tara Hammond's intense cries and Felicity Jones's honest and simple voice rang out simultaneously.
In an instant, the entire room fell silent.
Some were shocked, others horrified, and even Emily Taylor covered her mouth in disbelief.
Theodore Lucas froze, his body stiffening as he turned to look at Tara Hammond with an incredulous expression.
"No… It's not true…" Tara shook her head with tears streaming down her face, her still-elegant features suddenly drenched in sorrow.
"This is someone Aidan Lucas found; she's lying. Theodore, she's deliberately slandering me to drive a wedge between us!"
Tara wept in a way that could melt hearts, her teary autumn-like eyes filled with grievance as she gazed at Theodore.
In contrast, Felicity Jones, who had painstakingly decided to reveal the truth, had a flushed face, sweating profusely out of agitation.
