My Husband Timetravelled from 5 Years Later to Force an ABORTION—So I Ruined His Entire Family Chapter 04

One week later, the grand ballroom sparkled. The ballroom brimmed with glamorous socialites, their laughter and clinking glasses filling the air.

“Did you hear? The Moore heiress is hosting this charity gala!”

“She’s always been so private. She’s never shown her face all these years.”

“Word is she’s appearing tonight because of the Cole family.”

A jewel-covered socialite swirled her wine glass, looking around in confusion.

“The Coles? I’ve never even heard of that family around here.”

A portly businessman beside her let out a mocking laugh, his disdain impossible to miss.

“They’re nothing but small-time local merchants, honestly.”

“Who knows what tricks he used to catch the young lady’s attention.”

Snickers and malicious whispers spread through the crowd.

Amid the murmurs, Aiden Cole wandered through the ballroom with a glass of champagne, preening like a proud peacock. He wore an impeccably tailored designer suit, his hair perfectly styled. His face radiated smug excitement—he was sure he was about to climb the social ladder.

Then he turned and his eyes landed on me as I walked toward him.

The smile on his face froze, then twisted into dark disgust.

He slammed down his glass and stormed over to me.

“Evelyn? You crazy, obsessive woman. Who gave you the nerve to sneak into a place like this?”

He grabbed my wrist, squeezing so hard I thought he might break it.

I frowned in disgust and yanked my arm back. “Let go. You’re hurting me.”

Instead of letting go, Aiden tightened his grip and started dragging me toward the door.

” Have you lost your mind? You crashed the Moores’ gala just to hound me?”

“Don’t you dare embarrass me here.”

He lowered his voice, his eyes full of contempt and suspicion, as if I were something dirty.

“Do you think playing the victim, crying in front of me, or using our old history to manipulate me will make me change my mind?”

“Dream on. Even without that mistake of a child you were carrying, I would never look at you again.”

The commotion drew stares from the guests around them. Seeing the attention, Aiden raised his voice and spoke over the crowd first, publicly smearing my name.

“Everyone, take a look! This woman’s just a gold-digger who’s been stalking me for money!”

“We broke up a long time ago, and she followed me here to ruin my reputation.”

“Security! Get her out of here at once!”

Eyes all around turned judgmental. People began whispering and pointing.

I watched him carry on like a ridiculous clown, the mockery in my eyes growing stronger.

I was about to speak when a soft, sweet voice came from the edge of the crowd.

“Aiden, what are you doing here? The gala is about to start.”

The rage on Aiden’s face vanished instantly. He turned around, his whole demeanor changing. His eyes softened with obvious devotion.

“Lena. You’re here.”

The tenderness in his voice was nothing like the vicious anger he had shown me just moments before.

Lena. This was the woman he had defended with everything he had. The fake “Moore heiress” for whom he had killed his own child.

I let out a cold laugh and lifted my head to meet the gaze of the woman walking toward me. She wore a pure white gown and moved with studied grace.

The moment our eyes met, her fake shyness and sweet smile shattered completely. She looked absolutely horrified, as if she’d seen a ghost out of nowhere. Her perfectly made-up face turned deathly pale in an instant.

Her body shook violently. She stumbled, barely managing to stay upright.

And the second I got a clear look at her face, I finally understood just how ridiculous this whole situation was.

So this was the so-called glamorous, noble “Moore heiress” named Lena Moore.
