Cordelia Hudson stared in sheer disbelief.
The audio recording was crystal clear.
It laid the Hudson family's true intentions completely bare.
They were exposed as the absolute villains of the story.
Yet, Chloe's methods and unyielding attitude openly positioned her against her own family, despite being a Hudson herself.
Down in the audience.
The moment Chloe had stepped up, Derek Davenport had leaped to his feet, a deep frown carving his brow.
He hadn't been able to reach her, and now here she was, looking utterly exhausted and disheveled.
Derek stripped off his suit jacket, immediately striding onto the stage to wrap it snugly around Chloe's shoulders. "What happened?"
Howard and Cordelia, furious at their daughter's stunt, sported thunderous expressions. "Have you forgotten who you are? Is this how you humiliate your own flesh and blood?!"
Howard's face was terrifyingly dark.
Chloe had abandoned all hope that her parents would ever do the right thing. They had never really favored her anyway, so she no longer cared about the fallout.
Her jaw set in a rigid line. "The Hudson family was in the wrong from the start. This crusade against Raelynn ends now!"
Things had gone too far.
Taking a deep breath, Cordelia pivoted. "Let's not forget the child's last name is Hudson. How the Hudsons handle their own kin is none of Raelynn's business."
She had a point.
Lily was legally a Hudson.
She had no legal ties to Raelynn.
With the façade entirely shattered, the Hudsons knew that if they didn't seize control of the narrative right now, the consequences would be catastrophic.
Cordelia's cold logic caught everyone off guard.
But Raelynn understood perfectly. The Hudsons were trying to sever her maternal bond with her daughter in front of the world.
Society only recognized what was bound by law.
Pushed past his breaking point, Professor Alistair Finch slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "What a disgraceful display! You preach about the child's surname, but did you ever raise her? Raelynn's daughter has been cared for by my wife and me since day one. How dare you lay claim to her!"
It all made sense now.

Literally on edge!...
No, no, no! Sebastian needs to nip the Zella situation and win Raelynn back! Also, Leo, he is a wildcard for Sebastian's master plan... Sebastian- we know you know, what we know, win your family back!...
I thought now Sebastian and Raelynn will be together now that seraphina is not but you are not letting them to be. Two new female around Sebastian 😭...
I think Ian is sly. He is not what he seems. Sebastian loves Raelyn and they have a daughter together. Besides he has no family to even take care of him. I feel Raelyn should realise that Sebastian is only her true love and go back to him....
The croix family is evil...
