A Caged Songbird's Escape: Into the Arms of a Predator novel Chapter 614

This time, it wasn't just Maya and Tristan who were stunned; Paige's mind was also buzzing.

When did the eldest Wilkinson daughter change her personality and start biting anyone she saw?

Was she rabid?

The guests stared at each other in shock.

What did she mean by that? Furthermore... the Wilkinsons and the Murphys had always minded their own business, and Rex was close friends with Rowan.

Why would they suddenly tear each other apart without any warning?

Tristan frowned and glared at Laurel. "What nonsense are you spouting? Apologize to Matriarch Paige right now!"

Although the Wilkinsons had subtly begun to surpass the Murphys in recent years, there was no need to make enemies.

Besides, Maya was dead set on marrying Rowan. Offending them like this...

Paige's face shifted between green and pale. She steadied herself before following up on his words. "Laurel, I don't understand what you mean. But considering your youth, I won't hold it against you."

She hastily stood up and looked at Tristan. "Since we are not welcome here, let's forget about the marriage for now. I'll take my leave..."

Maya had already become a public target. Finalizing a marriage at this juncture wouldn't destroy Rowan; it would ruin the reputation she had spent years building.

Besides, Laurel was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

She wanted no part of the Wilkinsons' muddy waters.

"You don't understand?"

Laurel seemed determined to air the Murphys' dirty laundry in public. Her voice was calm but forceful. "I mean your son does not have Murphy blood, and neither does your grandson. Is that clear enough?"

The entire room instantly exploded.

Did that mean the only true grandson of the Murphy family was Rowan?

Matriarch Paige had really played a wild game.

However, some people weren't entirely convinced. After all, the old lady might seem stern, but she was always proper.

She couldn't possibly have given the late Mr. Murphy such a massive green hat...
