Chapter 779
Mrs. Bradford, what stature does that title hold?
Second to none and above thousands, she’s the most revered woman in the entire elite circle!
She’s the esteemed wife of the CEO of the Bradford Group!
The matriarch of the prestigious Bradford family!
The spouse of the wealthiest man in town, Tarquin!
Oh, heavens!
Why not just strike them down? They’ve actually handed this position over to Elysia on a silver platter!
How could Elysia, that snake, ever match up!
Had I known it was Tarquin she was marrying, I would’ve taken my shot, disability or not!
But wait, Tarquin isn’t disabled. We saw him just a few days ago, looking fit, handsome, with a demeanor that radiates aloofness and nobility. Just one glance and you’re hopelessly in love!
And they willingly gave such a man to Elysia?
Daphne couldn’t hold it in any longer, bursting into tears,
“Mom, Tarquin was supposed to be mine! He’s not meant for that wretch Elysia p>
Juliet’s heart was bleeding too!
But before her daughter could finish, Juliet quickly covered Daphne’s mouth, terrified she’d spill the beans about the swap!
It was clear, up to this point, the Bradford family still believed Daphne was Mrs. Bradford.
They were unaware of the swap!
If the Bradford family found out, they might not even have a chance to discuss before the Bradford family decided to take matters into their own hands. They were not a family to mess with!
Juliet, silencing her daughter from spewing nonsense, excused themselves and dragged her back to their room, leaving Blake to converse with the Bradford family members alone.
Once inside, Daphne was a mess of tears and sobs,
“Mom! I was the one meant to marry Tarquin! The title of Mrs. Bradford was mine, not Elysia’s p>
“I know! Just calm down. Who would have thought Tarquin was the groom back then? If we had known, we would have never let that harlot Elysia marry him! She’s got it too good p>
“She doesn’t deserve it! She doesn’t p>
Mother and daughter were gritting their teeth, filled with regret and frustration.
Half an hour later, Blake came in.
Wearing a worried expression.
Juliet quickly asked, “What did they say p>
Blake, frowning, sat down,
“The Bradford family is in the dark about the swap. They don’t even know Elysia’s connection to us! They approached us to use Daphne against Elysia p>
Mother and daughter were puzzled, “Against Elysia, what do you mean p>
Blake explained, “The Bradford folks think Elysia is the other woman and want to use Daphne’s status as the legitimate wife to suppress her.” The revelation startled them, and Juliet panicked,
“But Daphne isn’t the legitimate wife! Did you clarify with the Bradford family p>
“No, with the kind of influence the Bradford family wields, and after they’ve spent so much on us, even hosting a grand gala, if I had told them the truth, they might have decided to eliminate us immediately to vent their frustration p>
“So, what do we do now? They’ve found us. We can’t run. If we don’t tell them now, it’ll come out during the gala p>
Blake thought for a moment before saying, “If push comes to shove, we play along p>
“What do you mean p>
“The Bradford folks mentioned that they chose Daphne initially because she was deemed astrologically compatible with Tarquin. Wealthy folks eat that stuff up. So, maybe we can p>
After Blake’s convoluted explanation, Juliet agreed, “I think it’s a plan p>
“If this works, Tarquin might just dump Elysia and marry Daphne p>
Hearing this, Daphne quickly dried her tears,
“Will he really marry me? Can I really become Mrs. Bradford p>
