Chapter 196 It Turns Out Katherine Stole Her Groom!
Scarlett nodded and said, "That's right. Not only did she get married, but she also married into the Melville family!"
Sherry's face instantly turned as red as a beet. "What did you say? How is that possible?!"
With a kind expression on her face, Scarlett said, "Sherry, it's raining outside. If it's convenient, could you let me in so I can explain everything to you?"
Sherry considered for a moment and then replied, "Alright, come in! Hurry up and tell me everything. How did Katherine end up marrying into the Melville family? What exactly is going on?"
Although she still didn't know the identity of the visitor, what she said made her think of various recent events.
That bitch Katherine disappeared without a trace for an entire day and night on the day she was almost supposed to marry Mr. Melville.
When Katherine showed up the next day, she was inexplicably wearing a high-end men's designer jacket and suddenly told Dad she wanted to move out!
Sherry, being cautious, secretly followed Katherine to see what was going on. She discovered that Katherine had entered a top-tier mansion in the city center. Later, Katherine explained that she was working part-time as a maid there.
Thinking back now, Sherry found it all very suspicious!
Also, when she was introduced by the famous director Kenny to meet Mr. Melville at Moonlight Manor, Mr. Melville kept staring at Katherine, who was her assistant at the time, with a very peculiar look.
Connecting all these events, the more she thought about it, the stranger it seemed!
Could it be on the wedding day, that scheming little bitch Katherine took her place and married into the Melville family, stealing her Mr. Melville?!
If that's really the case, Katherine was utterly shameless!
Scarlett was invited into the house, and fifteen minutes later, she had explained to the three members of the Galatea family how Katherine managed to marry into the Melville family.
Of course, her version was embellished and had a specific agenda.
After listening, Sherry was so furious that she jumped up from the sofa and called out, "Dad, Mom! Did you hear that? It turns out Katherine stole my groom that day! I knew something was wrong The Melville family even sent the marriage gifts to our house and never asked for them back. How could it have been a mistake?"
She continued, ''It was all Katherine's doing! She schemed to intercept Mr. Melville on his way to the wedding, shamelessly seduced him, and then took my place in the Melville family! Ugh! She's so despicable!"
Lillian was also fuming. Because of the wedding fiasco, she had been slapped and scolded by Joshua in front of both sides of the family, leaving her utterly humiliated! She still couldn't face those relatives!
It turned out the truth was like this; it was all because of that bitch Katherine!
Lillian, feeling both wronged and indignant, tugged at Joshua's arm. "Joshua, Katherine really picked up all the bad habits from the countryside. Even after getting into Janetrick, she didn't focus on her studies but instead schemed to climb the social ladder! She was jealous when she saw Sherry being chosen by Mr. Melville to marry into the Melville family, so she plotted to take the first step, causing Sherry to quit the industry for the wedding, thus ruining her career and stealing her great marriage! Ugh."
As she spoke, Lillian wiped away her tears, feeling sorry for her precious daughter's plight.
Seeing his wife and daughter so aggrieved, Joshua also felt uncomfortable, his brows tightly furrowed.
From the moment he listened to Scarlett recount the events, Joshua had been deeply frowning. He heard the 'reason' and felt a burning anger inside, but he maintained a few more rational and cautious thoughts than Lillian and Sherry.
He scrutinized Scarlett, who had inexplicably come to their home. She was beautiful and elegant, dressed in designer clothes, clearly a lady from a wealthy family.
Therefore, Joshua asked suspiciously, "Miss, who are you? Why do you know so much about the Melville family, and why did you come here to tell us these? What do you want?"
Being asked this, Scarlett wasn't surprised at all. She was well-prepared and responded calmly with a smile, "Mr. Galatea, does it really matter who I am? I just couldn't stand to see Katherine, a vile person, taking over what didn't belong to her. I came out of goodwill to inform you and your wife and daughter, hoping that Sherry can reclaim what is rightfully hers. Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can go to the Melville family at any time and see if Katherine is indeed there, posing as Mrs. Melville."
After speaking, Scarlett took out a pre-prepared note and placed it on the table. The note had the address of the Melville Manor printed on it.
Scarlett was always meticulous. Even in such small details, she avoided leaving her handwriting.
While Joshua was staring at the note in deep thought, Sherry reached out and grabbed it. Seeing the address, she was instantly furious and called out, "Dad, that's right! This is the place! When I secretly followed Katherine, I saw her enter one of the mansions here. Later, she claimed she was working there as a maid! It turns out she wasn't a maid at all; she took my place and became Mrs. Melville! Dad, Katherine is so deceitful; she tricked us all!"
Hearing this, Joshua finally believed everything Scarlett had said, and in a fit of rage, he slammed the table. "That ungrateful girl, how dare she steal her sister's groom! She has crossed the line!"
Sherry felt both wronged, regretful, and furious, wishing she could rush to the Melville family right now to expose and tear apart that slut Katherine!
She shouted, "Dad, I don't care! You have to stand up for me! Katherine not only ruined my career and sowed discord in our family, but also stole my husband and my place as Mrs. Melville. She took everything that should have been mine! I will never let her get away!"
Lillian, wiping her tears, echoed. "Joshua, in other matters, if you favor Katherine, I won't say anything, but this is Sherry's lifelong happiness. You can't let Katherine do whatever she wants and bully my Sherry!"
Joshua, with a stern face, thought for a moment, suppressing his anger. "Lillian, Sherry, don't worry. Tomorrow, we'll go to the Melville family and confront that ungrateful girl. I'll make sure she returns everything she stole from Sherry!"
