Chapter 780
Chapter 780:
Despite this, Yelena had a good idea of who might harbor such hatred for her. She was certain of it.
The images had disappeared from the screen. Callum let out a sigh of relief and said, “Alright, let’s proceed with the performances.” Now, he preferred not to discuss the recent events. Discussing them would only make others think he was trying to hide something. Thus, Callum chose to deal with it quietly and disclose the truth after an investigation.
At that moment, Elianna, who had remained silent, couldn’t hold back any longer and stepped onto the stage.
Callum’s brow furrowed upon seeing Elianna approach the stage. He leaned in and whispered, “Mom, it’s our annual party today. Let’s just enjoy the night p>
Elianna scoffed. “You might be in the mood to enjoy, but I’m certainly not p>
Elianna then shouted at the crowd, “Yelena, come up here. How can you hide after causing such a disgrace p>
Callum’s frown deepened as he watched Elianna. He was clearly upset. Callum took Elianna’s hand and said, “Mom, if there’s something you need to say, let’s discuss it offstage p>
Bella tried to calm Elianna. “Grandma, let’s not expose our family issues here. Let’s talk in private. It might not be as you think.” By now, Elianna was furious. She said, “I saw it with my own eyes. How could I be mistaken p>
By this time, Yelena had made her way over. She faced Elianna and admitted, “You’re right. The photos were real. Actually, I p>
Before Yelena could finish, Elianna raised her hand to slap her, shouting, “You have no shame p>
But before her hand could strike Yelena, several people had already positioned themselves in front of her.

Elianna’s gaze swept over Callum, Cayson, Donna, Bernice, and Katelyn, who were shielding Yelena. Her chest rose and fell with each breath, struggling to hold back the storm of anger inside her. “You p>
Just then, Kaiden and Dina also hurried over, begging, “Mom, please calm down p>
It seemed as though a monster had taken hold of Elianna’s mind, threatening to burst out. She exclaimed, “I can’t calm down!” A wave of warmth washed over Yelena as she gazed at the figures before her.
Since her return to the Harris family, Yelena had often felt supported, not alone in her struggles. It was a feeling so precious that she feared losing it.
Though Yelena knew it was dangerous to grow attached, she didn’t want to walk away from them. Perhaps this longing was a deeply hidden desire she hadn’t acknowledged until now.
Yelena took out her phone and hit play.
Suddenly, a soothing instrumental filled the hall, like a gentle rain calming everyone’s tempers. Elianna’s irritation appeared to melt away.
Then Yelena spoke up again. “I can clarify what happened, but we still need a witness p>
Just then, rapid footsteps sounded from the entrance, drawing everyone’s attention.
John was the one who arrived, and he brought a woman along with him. The woman wore a mask, hiding her face from the others. Yet, as she approached, everyone recognized her.
