Chapter 961
Chapter 961:
Erica was equally livid. She hadn’t expected that after Annabel’s departure, Candace—a seemingly random woman—would capture Rupert’s heart and potentially become part of the Benton family.
“There’s no way a bar singer can marry into our family,” Erica snapped. “She’s delusional p>
Cathy immediately seized the opportunity to stir the resentment even further. “Aunt, I heard Candace moved into the Water Moon p>
Community—Rupert’s private residence. If he was letting her live there, it meant she was already positioning herself as the lady of the house p>
Erica pressed her lips together and shot Cathy an annoyed look. “Let’s go see her p>
When they arrived at Water Moon Community, Cathy marched up to the apartment door and rang the doorbell impatiently.
“Wait.” Candace’s voice came from inside.
When she opened the door and saw Erica and Cathy standing there, she hesitated. “Who are you p>
With a look of disdain, Cathy brushed past her, following Erica into the apartment.
Erica swept her gaze over Candace from head to toe and sneered, “After that grand announcement, I thought my son was marrying an angel. Turns out you’re just a floozy p>
Standing beside Erica, Cathy added arrogantly, “Maybe Rupert’s just chasing something new. Aunt, look at her—she’s not worthy of him p>

“We’re not here for your hospitality.” Erica looked at Candace with open contempt. “If you want to be my daughter-in-law, you need to come from a respectable family. Do you? Don’t think I don’t know you used to sing in a bar. How can a woman from that kind of place be innocent? Tell me—what’s your real purpose in getting close to Rupert p>
Candace’s heart stuttered, but she quickly composed herself.
If they thought they could scare her off with a few cruel words, they were mistaken.
“I didn’t…” Candace began, eyes reddening as she forced a wounded expression. “I truly want to be with Ron. He promised to marry me. How can you say such things to me p>
Cathy’s frown deepened. She had been in love with Rupert for a long time, yet he had never given her a second glance. How could Candace—some nobody—say something like that?
Enraged, Cathy stormed over and shoved Candace. “Don’t play the victim. How dare you dream of marrying into our family p>
Candace fell to the floor, scraping her hand. She looked up at Cathy, eyes brimming with tears.
Just then, Rupert returned.
