Chapter 2
The relatives started giving Lysander and me these weird looks.
Lysander’s face darkened as he forcibly pulled Rachel up from her chair. “It’s just one message–maybe it was sent by mistake. Why are you making wild accusations?”
“Come on! Stop embarrassing me!”
“Nobody moves.” I called out coldly, stopping them.
“Until we get to the bottom of this, nobody leaves.”
Mom spoke up beside me: “That’s right. With all these family members here tonight, we need to clear this up completely, or how can my daughter show her face again?”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, I placed my phone on the table.
I pulled up Lysander’s account from my blocked contacts list.
Then I opened the “Sera” chat window on his WhatsApp and hit voice call.
Lysander instantly panicked, instinctively trying to grab his phone back, but I blocked him.
“What are you scared of, Uncle? Got something to hide?”
He forced a smile. “No, it’s just that my phone’s almost dead…”
Beep-
The voice call went unanswered and automatically hung up.
My phone showed no notifications the entire time.
“Miss Sterling, did you see that clearly?”
“Uncle Lysander is on my blocked list–we can’t contact each other at all. Plus, the two ‘Sera‘ accounts have
completely different WhatsApp IDs.”
“The ‘Sera‘ in his WhatsApp isn’t me!”
But Rachel didn’t believe it, scoffing: “How do I know this isn’t just your backup WhatsApp account?”
“Your phone didn’t get notifications because your backup account also blocked Lysander.”
“After all, with the whole family here tonight, you’re guilty and afraid of getting caught!”

I was so furious I almost threw my phone at her.
Instead, I shoved it right in front of her face.
“Search it. Go ahead and search.”
If you can’t find anything, you better apologize to me properly!”
Rachel grabbed my phone immediately.
She stubbornly went through my entire WhatsApp contact list, checked the account switching interface…
Even searched through all my app settings.
Found absolutely nothing.
She frowned, looking confused and frustrated.
Lysander sighed helplessly. “You searched and found nothing. Are you satisfied now?”
‘The message probably went through because of some WhatsApp bug. Stop acting crazy and just apologize already.”
But Rachel wouldn’t let it go. “Maybe she logged out of her backup account!”
‘Then how do you explain this intimate photo? Also a bug?”
This time Rachel was holding her own phone.
A screenshot from “Sera’s” social media showed Lysander lying in bed with a girl buried against his neck, only showing her smiling eyes.
Even the little scar at the corner of her eye was identical to mine!
The caption read: “Hope I can be with Uncle forever.”
I was completely stunned.
For a moment I wondered if I had multiple personalities and had actually done these things.
All the relatives saw the photo, looking at me with shock, disgust…
Mom was also startled by the photo.
But she immediately grabbed my hand and pulled me behind her protectively.
“That photo is absolutely fake!”
“Sera is the child I raised myself. I know her–she would never and could never stoop to something like this!”

Rachel snorted coldly, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Sister–in–law, you never really know someone completely. You can’t watch Seraphina 24/7.”
“Honestly, I didn’t want to ruin your family’s Mid–Autumn dinner or wreck your birthday. I just hoped you could control your daughter and stop her from being so desperate that she’d even go after her nominal uncle!”
“People might think the Whitmore family daughter is that starved for male attention!”
SMACK-!
Lysander slapped Rachel hard across the face. “Have you caused enough trouble?!”
