Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Devastating Discovery

Camilla’s POV

The weight of Hugo’s accusations had been crushing me since our confrontation. His questions about that night echoed in my mind like a broken record, each repetition making my chest tighter. I retreated to my bedroom without fighting back because honestly, I had no defense to offer.

Once safely behind closed doors, I grabbed my phone and dialed my mother’s number. My feet carried me restlessly from wall to wall as the line rang.

"Well, well, another call from my dear daughter today," she answered with obvious amusement. She was clearly referencing our earlier conversation when she had instructed me to stop Hugo from taking Zack away.

What she didn’t know was that my attempt to follow her advice had backfired spectacularly. Now Hugo suspected me of something that could destroy everything.

"This isn’t the time for jokes, Mom," I snapped, my voice sharp with anxiety. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Alright, you sound completely wound up. What went wrong? Did he ignore what you said?" Her tone shifted to concern, still focused on our previous discussion.

"I need to see you," I declared, my voice leaving no room for argument.

"Of course. What’s troubling you?" she asked, matching my serious energy.

"Not over the phone. I’m coming to you right now," I said, already reaching for my purse.

With Hugo gone, nothing was stopping me from leaving immediately.

I had barely made it to the window when movement outside caught my attention.

All three alphas were walking toward their vehicles, each one carrying a small child. The sight made my stomach drop as questions flooded my mind.

Each man held a different baby, and the implications started forming connections I didn’t want to make.

As I stepped out of my room, the sound of something being slammed repeatedly came from upstairs.

I hadn’t realized anyone else was in the house. Curiosity pulled me toward the stairs, where I discovered Moon stalking back and forth in the hallway, her anger practically radiating from her body.

"How could she do this? How could she?" Moon was muttering to herself, completely unaware of my presence.

Her hands were balled into tight fists, and when she spun around to pace in my direction, she froze mid-step upon seeing me.

"Oh. I didn’t expect to run into you here," I said, keeping my voice level despite knowing she held no love for me. These alpha and beta daughters were notorious for their superiority complexes.

They looked down on anyone they considered beneath their status. The only reason our paths ever crossed was through the friendship between Hugo, Parker, and Derek.

"You’re engaged to Hugo, correct?" she asked, and I could see her making an effort to sound civil.

The vein pulsing at her temple told me she was barely containing whatever was really going through her mind.

"Yes, our engagement invitations went out weeks ago. Did you get yours?" I replied, though I already knew the answer.

Moon and I had never really interacted before this moment. I’d seen her at various social functions the alphas hosted, but we’d never exchanged more than polite nods.

"We received them," she confirmed, crossing her arms defensively.

I couldn’t help but notice how stunning she looked in her white dress. The color complemented the diamond jewelry she wore perfectly.

She moved closer, her posture rigid and intimidating.

"And unless I’m mistaken, you’re Bella Vance’s sister."

There it was. The hostility I’d been expecting finally surfaced in her voice.

I understood immediately why her demeanor had changed. She despised my sister.

Of course she did. Moon had made Bella’s life miserable for years, and everyone in our social circle knew it.

Her red hair seemed to glow brighter with her anger, and there wasn’t even a hint of remorse for her past behavior as a bully.

"So tell me, what has your sister been up to lately? I understand she’s married with children now, but the rumors I’m hearing are absolutely revolting," she said, her words dripping with disgust.

"What rumors? I have no idea what you mean," I answered honestly, watching as she rolled her eyes in disbelief.

"I’m not lying. My sister and I don’t have a relationship." The moment those words left my mouth, something shifted in her expression.

"She always caused nothing but chaos wherever she went," I added, and I saw Moon’s shoulders relax slightly.

"Well, it appears your sister may have been unfaithful to her husband."

My heart stopped. The words hit me like a physical blow, leaving me reeling with confusion.

Was she jumping to conclusions about infidelity because the babies had been placed with different alphas?

But why would they need different alphas in the first place?

"I can see you’re completely in the dark about this," she observed, clearly enjoying my shocked expression.

Before I could process what she’d revealed, the sound of someone crying out in distress came from downstairs, followed by the sharp crash of breaking glass.

Our eyes locked for a split second before I rushed toward the staircase, desperate to understand what was happening.

I found Serena standing over broken glass fragments, her entire body trembling with rage.

Felicia sat at the dining table, watching the scene unfold with obvious boredom.

"What’s happening down here?" Moon pushed past me, knowing that Serena wouldn’t welcome any interaction with me.

The moment Serena turned to face Moon, her gaze immediately shifted to include me in her fury.

"Your disgusting sister is nothing but a whore," she screamed, her voice so loud it made me instinctively step backward.

Part of me wanted to act offended by her words, but truthfully, I was desperate to hear what she knew.

"Are you just finding this out now?" Moon commented mockingly, making it crystal clear that every woman in this room harbored hatred for my sister.

"I don’t understand what she’s done this time," I said.

"For starters, your sister screwed all of our men."

The blood in my veins turned to ice.

"She didn’t just sleep with Derek. She slept with Hugo and Parker too," Serena shrieked at the top of her lungs.
