Rosaline's POV: The werewolf bodyguards present exchanged glances but didn't move an inch. I let out a cold laugh, looking at Heidi on stage. To me, she now seemed like nothing more than a clown. "Surprised to see me? Or are you just disappointed that instead of Caden, you got me?" Heidi gripped the microphone tightly. Whether out of guilt or nervousness, when I confidently approached her, she instinctively stepped back and nearly tripped over her long gown. At the last moment, I reached out to steady her. Still smirking, I picked up the microphone from the stand at the front of the stage and roared, "I apologize for bringing everyone here tonight, but there will never be an engagement ceremony." "What? No engagement ceremony? What's going on?" My words caused an uproar. The guests looked at each other in confusion, and the murmurs grew louder. "Because," I continued, glancing at Heidi casually, "this so-called Ms. Tessford standing beside me is not Caden's long-lost first love, Tessa." "What?!" The revelation sent shockwaves through the crowd, and the reporters immediately snapped away, their cameras flashing non-stop. Heidi's POV: My eyes widened as my hands involuntarily clenched the fabric of my dress, panic surging through me. How did Rosaline know this secret? I never told anyone! I stared at her in disbelief, and in my desperation, I lost all rationality and lunged at her. "You're lying! You're slandering me on purpose! You're just jealous, jealous that I'm the one with Caden! Get out! Bodyguards, throw this crazy woman out!" I desperately tried to scratch at Rosaline, but she dodged my attacks effortlessly. I had no idea how she had become so agile. She didn't move like a low-tier Omega.Frantically, I turned to the werewolf bodyguards, screaming at them, but they stood as still as statues, unmoved by my cries. The only sound in the grand hall was my own shrill yelling. Then suddenly, the room fell silent. All eyes turned toward the entrance. I froze in place. Caden had arrived. The moment I saw him, I nearly burst into tears from sheer relief. I couldn't wait for him to come up. I lifted my skirt and ran toward him, grabbing his hand tightly. I put on my sweetest smile. "Caden, you're finally here!" Then, I pointed at Rosaline on stage, my voice full of venom. "Caden, it's her! She's trying to ruin our engagement! She's jealous of me being with you. Please, make her leave!" I still clung to a fragile hope that Caden would side with me. But he didn't even look at me. With a swift motion, he pulled his hand away, his gaze cold and distant. His following words crushed me completely. "What are you afraid of? Is what Rosaline is saying not the truth? I never intended to get engaged to you. This entire event was just a trap set for you." Without sparing me another glance, Caden strode up to the stage toward Rosaline. I stood frozen, paralyzed by fear, as my whole body trembled uncontrollably. Taking the microphone from Rosaline's hand, Caden addressed the crowd calmly yet sincerely. "I apologize for being late and making everyone attend a non-existent engagement ceremony. I'm truly sorry." I bit my lip hard, my mind reeling as I stared at the two of them on stage. I was on the verge of breaking down. "No. No." I muttered in a daze, then suddenly lunged toward the stage, throwing myself at Caden's feet. Tears streamed down my face as I clung to his hand, desperately trying to explain. "No! Caden, listen to me! When we were little, at the wooden cabin, I protected you from that black bear and led you out! Later, we ran separately, and I fell off the cliff, trying to distract the kidnappers to save you! Don't you remember? I'm Tessa! I am!" I screamed until my throat was raw, and my face flushed red with desperation. Only my own helpless sobs echoed back at me. But Caden looked at me with an icy, indifferent gaze as if I were a stranger. Rosaline's POV:Standing beside Caden, I watched Heidi's dramatic breakdown with cold detachment. When she finished her performance, I gave a soft chuckle and stepped forward to face her directly. "Heidi, even now, you're still lying? You're standing before all these people, claiming you're Tessa? Your shamelessness truly knows no bounds." "What are you saying? What do you mean?! I am Tessa!" she screeched, her voice hoarse. I let out a scoff of pure disdain. She was struggling in vain now. Striding over to her, I pointed at her exposed back. Her backless gown made it easy for everyone to see the scars there. I gestured toward those scars and announced in a loud, clear voice, "The scars on Heidi's back? They weren't from a childhood accident or a fall off a cliff. These scars were inflicted on purpose."
