Chapter 64
Upon hearing this, Izzy flicked an eyelid, her lips curving into a mocking smile. “To me, the title of Ms. Galeana means nothing. I didn’t give a damn about it before, and I care even less now. If you’re so fond of it, feel free to hold onto it for dear life, or even shout it from the rooftops if you want.” Being ‘Ethan’s wife‘ held more value than ‘Ms. Galeana‘. Besides, the wealth she held in name already surpassed the Galeana Group by a mile. She cared less about a trifling entity like the Galeana Group. “If you don’t care, why did you come back? Don’t think I’m clueless. You’re eyeing the Galeana family’s fortune and you’re still carrying a torch for Aiden. You even had a private meeting with him. He’s someone else’s fiancé, how can you not have the decency to keep your distance? You’re just begging to be labeled as a home wrecker.”
Izzy watched the furious Emma with a frown, her expression shifting from indifference to icy cold. Her ability to frame others was eye–opening. It was Emma who stole her fiancé, yet she had the audacity to say such things.
“Emma, honesty is the best policy, don’t forget what you promised back then.”
“Sis, why did you come back to ruin my happiness? Why couldn’t you just stay in B City forever? Because of you, my wedding with Aiden was postponed. What on earth did you tell him?” Emma was clearly deeply affected and was on the verge of breaking down, with tears streaming down her face non–stop. The thought of it drove her crazy. She had finally waited for Aiden to agree to marry her, but the moment Izzy came back, the wedding date was indefinitely postponed.
Aiden had been drinking heavily every day, treating her coldly, and when he was drunk, he would only mumble “Izzy“.
Emma, petite and with a delicate face full of grievance, looked pitiful as she cried her heart out. In contrast, Izzy stood with her arms crossed and a mocking smile was on her face, radiating an air of indifference. She looked like the bully in this scenario.
Despite having a private booth, their quarrel still attracted some attention. Even those who initially found Emma unreasonable began to change their minds. Which woman could remain calm when faced with her husband’s mistress, especially when that woman is her own sister?
No one genuinely sympathizes with a mistress. All sorts of strange looks began to fall upon Izzy, making her feel uncomfortable.
“Emma, if you still care about the Galeana family’s reputation, it’s best to keep your distance from me and stop making a scene here.”
Today was the day her aunt and uncle were meeting with the Meyer family. She didn’t want this to affect the meeting between the two families, nor did she want to be exposed in front of everyone for a false crime.
She would find an opportunity to confess to the Meyer family, but not in this way.
Rumors could be terrifying, and she didn’t want her past to affect the Meyer family’s reputation.
but instead made her more agitated.
nied him for a long time. Why did
“Izzy, you didn’t meet Aiden behind my back, did you?” Izzy’s retreat and warning did not calm Emma
Emma couldn’t understand. Izzy had disappeared from Aiden’s life for so many years, and she had everything return to square one the moment Izzy came back? Even Aiden, who was already married, could not let go.
“You should be asking your fiancé why he wanted to see me, not questioning me like a lunatic.”
“I don’t believe it. You must have been pestering him.” Emma glared at Izzy. Just as
was about to respond, a familiar voice beat her to it. “Are all these so–called high society ladies crazy now? Biting everyone like a mad dog, unable to even keep their men in check, and shouting in public. Look at yourself, what a disgrace. Any man who isn’t blind wouldn’t give you a second look. You should go home and reflect on yourself, stop making a fool of yourself.”
Erica crossed her arms in front of her chest, exuding an air of authority. She looked at Emma with disdain and contempt.
Izzy’s face turned pale, and she awkwardly lowered her head, not expecting her mother–in–law to see this. From their time spent together, she had always found her mother–in–law to be very kind and gentle.
Looking up, she saw Erica looking at her with concern, without the blame and anger she had expected.
“Mom…” Izzy wanted to speak but found her throat choked up, unable to make a sound.
Erica, observing Izzy’s lip movements, knew what she wanted to say. She squeezed Izzy’s hand, as if giving her support. Upon hearing Erica’s words, Emma couldn’t help but blush. She had grown up in a rural area until she was 18, when she returned to the Galeana family. Even though she had been trying to change her temperament over the years, she knew that some things were innate.
However, being pointed out by a stranger made her feel extremely embarrassed as if she had been slapped in the face, her face burning with shame.
“Who are you?”
Erica snorted, immediately seeing through Emma’s thoughts. “You’re not in a position to know who I am. If only you had recognized your own faults sooner.” Even in designer clothes, she couldn’t hide her true nature.
Protecting Izzy like a mother protecting her child, Erica made Emma feel jealous. She gritted her teeth and said, “There is something between me and Izzy, it’s none of your business.”

“I’m a law–abiding citizen who despises those who create chaos in public places. Naturally, I have to step in to maintain order.” Erica said seriously, her face bearing a faint smile, but it didn’t make people feel happy, instead, it created an invisible pressure.
“Hehe”
“Haha”
Chapter 64
The onlookers couldn’t help but laugh. Izzy also couldn’t help but smile slightly. She didn’t expect Erica’s words to be so sharp. It seemed like Ethan was right. Erica was kind in front of her family, but she was not easy to get along with in front of strangers.
Under Erica’s watchful eye, Emma felt a constant buzzing in her ears. She stomped her foot in frustration and bolted. The onlookers, feeling the intense vibe from Erica and seeing Emma’s departure, felt too awkward to stick around for the show.
