She also attended Grand Princess Eleanor's birthday banquet. She took advantage of her upcoming marriage to the Hell Monarch, and had the audacity to berate both Grand Princess Eleanor and Lady Jessica..." At these words, Barrett and Aurora stared at Serena in shock.

It was truly a wrong decision, wasn't it? You shouldn't have married me, and I shouldn't have married into this family, where everyone despises
The bitterness in Barrett's heart surged to his lips, and he was unable to contain his anger. "What are you saying? Who despises you?" Having not seen him for days, Aurora was overwhelmed by his impatient tone. Her pent-up grievances and emotions erupted.
