Skyler had no way of finding her. In the end, all he could do was announce to the world that she'd died in
childbirth.
Looking back, when Nora married Skyler, the wedding had been grand, but not a single member of the press was
invited. Every detail was kept tightly under wraps; no one dared to leak a thing.
Nora herself preferred to keep a low profile. Aside from close friends and family, hardly anyone even knew she
was Mrs. Williams. In the media, whenever Skyler's wife was mentioned, she was always referred to as Mrs.
Williams-never by name. Over time, people simply forgot who she was.
Later, Nora made a nfor herself in Novaris, but Skyler's family was all the way in Solmaris and had no idea
what she'd achieved. After years spent searching with no trace of her, Skyler had quietly called off the search.
He didn't want to push too hard and drive Nora further away.
He told himself that, with three children between them, Nora would eventually chome.
He never expected that the next the'd hear from Nora, it would be because she wanted him to acknowledge
their daughter as his own.

The revelation that Nora was Skyler's wife sent gossipmongers into a frenzy.
"Skyler's always parading his dead wife around to play the grieving widower, hasn't remarried for years—I
thought he was devoted! Turns out he's just another heartless bastard who abandoned his wife and kid!"
"Skyler lost his memory and started living it up with another woman, while Nora slogged away, running the
company and raising their children alone. And now he claims his own daughter as a 'love child'? Does he have
any shame? How can he face Nora's memory?"
“Aurora isn't innocent either! When those rumors about Stella being a love child were swirling online, people tore
her to shreds. She didn't even try to defend her own sister-not a word!"
"Doesn't the Williams family have three sons, too? None of them spoke up for Stella either... Don't tellthey're
all illegitimate children as well?"
“The Williams family really is something else!"
"Aurora, your mother stole someone's husband and now you've stolen someone's father. You should be on your
knees begging Stella for forgiveness!"
The higher Aurora had climbed, the harder she fell. The intewas flooded with outrage and condemnation
directed at her.
Of course, Aurora still had loyal fans who tried to defend her.
"What happened in the last generation has nothing to do with Aurora-she's innocent, she's a victim too!"
But someone quickly shot back, "Is she really a victim, or just reaping the benefits? If she's truly innocent,
maybe she shouldn't be basking in the glow of the Williams family nto boost her own status!"
Meanwhile, Sellers got wind of the news and immediately tried to have it suppressed. But it wasn't long before
his assistant returned, looking grim.
"Mr. Burton, we can keep the story under wraps in Solmaris, but there's no way to control it in Novaris. With so
many international competitors here, word about Ms. Williams being an illegitimate child is spreading fast-it'll be
all over the world soon."
The assistant didn't dare mention that Aurora was already being hounded online -her nwas mud.
Sellers’ expression darkened. "Where's Aurora now?"
The assistant replied, "Today's the first day of the competition. Judging by the
timing, the news broke while Ms. Williams was still competing."
With the intemoving at lightning speed, the scandal had already gone viral within a few hours. The
Petition venue was no doubt in
chaos by now.
At that moment, Aurora had just finished her qualifying round and stepped out of
the room.
Suddenly, someone spat right in her face.
"Disgusting! You're the daughter of a homewrecker, and you still dare to act so high and mighty? You're just as
shameless as your dead mother!"
