Selena basked in luxury, drapped in designer clothes, attending exclusive clubs .Meanwhile Elena wore cheap garments and relied on public transport to get around
In all of leewood no one knew that the cross family had a daughter named Elena They only knew Selena.
Elena had taught married to the man she loved would free her from the cross household she never imagined that Vivian and her daughter would scheme to ruin everything.
Vivian forced a smile her words dripping with false humility as she tried to ease the tension .Rick don't be mad at Elena .I'm not her real mother anyway it's not the first time she's disrespected me, it's fine .if I'm wronged, don't let it affect your relationship with her.
" See ?vivan still defends you,"
Victor said coldly his disappointment palable the Blackwell family are here to break up to engagement, You don't need to marry into their family anymore .That is it go change your clothes stop embarrassing yourself I have business to handle.
Without sparing Elena another glance, is strode away .
Elena's expression turned even colder more than a decade had passed and Victor had long stop caring about her what else was left to say?
The moment Rick left, Vivian dropped her facade , her expression turning vicious you little wench , how dare you run away from the wedding where the hell have you been .Are you happy with the 'grand gift' I prepared for you?

Vivian said with a smug smile my daughter is already the new Mrs cardwell ,who do you think you are .You will never be a match for Selena. Besides I wonder if Ethan knows you gave birth to a child a few years ago do you really think you can keep that secret from the caldwell family forever?.
Elena's face darkened as the secret very deep in a heart was exposed.
It was you and your daughter who set me up Elena gritted her out.
Indeed, she had given birth 5 years ago. But the child that died immediately after birth to this day she didn't even know who the father was.
It was a nightmare she had desperately tired tried to forget one she couldn't bear to tell ethan about
Vivian sneered ."So what no one will believe you least of all your father ,the Cross family belongs to my daughter now, Rick abandoned you long ago. Her eye gleamed with cruelty ."Oh and there's one more thing___ you thought your child was dead didn't you well He's not it's a beautiful boy."
" What ?Elena's heart clenched d paintfully "Where is my child?"
Vivian expression turned mocking. Do you want to know? Then get on your news and beg me."
Elena's eyes blazed with the defiance. listen carefully Vivian ,she said through clenched teeth." one day ,I will make you pay for everything you have done
Even if she begged, Vivian would never tell her the truth and Elena couldn't even be sure if the child was truly alive
