Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo
Chapter 491

Cody retaliated immediately, "Don't act like you're so innocent! You know very well that the reason you got together with me was because of my wealth! That's why you had no qualms about breaking up with your long-term boyfriend back then! We got together for ulterior motives of our own, so you have no one to blame for this! If you had been meek and obedient, I wouldn't mind keeping you as my wife, I'd just have thought of it as raising a pet!"

"Fuck you, Cody! You're the dog! No, you're a bastard! You despicable bastard!" Lana's sharp voice almost broke as she screeched in despair.

"If I'm a bastard, what does that make you? A promiscuous slut?" Cody refused to back down.

Despite the somber setting, their insults became increasingly vulgar, making the onlookers frown with disapproval.

Anthony stepped forward when he couldn't bear this any longer. "Both of you, shut up immediately!"

His authoritative command silenced Lana and Cody instantly.

"If you want to quarrel, do it outside! What a disgrace to cause a commotion here and disrespect the dead?"

It was a rare occurrence that Bernard finally agreed with Anthony on something.

"Cody, you should always keep your dignified status in mind! Why should you stoop to the level of these uncivilized barbarians?"

"Who are you calling uncivilized? Take a good look at the scumbag your son is! After he had enough of my daughter, he just discarded her like a used tissue! Are you proud of what he's done?"

His eyes bloodshot, Xavier charged forward and swung his fist, punching Bernard in the face.

Xavier's attack plunged the scene into chaos immediately. Yvette and Maria also joined in the fistfight, tearing at each other's clothes and hair.

The air was filled with cries and shrieks of obscenities as they fought.

Larissa was already a distance away, but when she heard Lana mention her name, she turned back.

Unexpectedly, she witnessed the whole spectacle.

Compared to Bernard and Maria who were overweight, Xavier and Yvette were slender and smaller in size as they were careful with their diet.

Soon, the two of them found themselves at a disadvantage in this tussle.

Bernard rushed toward Xavier like a bull and sent him flying backward.

Meanwhile, Maria pinned Yvette down with her own weight.

Yvette was helpless, unable to fight back as Maria continuously slapped her on the cheek.

Standing outside, Larissa watched the commotion unfold nonchalantly.

She was reminded of how Yvette treated her similarly in the past.

At this moment, she felt no sympathy or pity for Yvette.

On the other hand, Larissa thought that Yvette's karma came a tad too late.

After so many years, only now did she finally experience the public humiliation and shame that she deserved.

The guests in the main hall had all escaped outside. Some left hastily, while others stayed back with Larissa to watch the drama.

As Pine Mansion was closed off to traffic, there were police officers stationed everywhere in the area.

It was unclear who called the police, but within two minutes, a team of police officers in uniform entered the main hall and forcefully stopped the fight.

In the process of separating them, one of the police officers even got injured.

At any rate, this incident happened on the Rogers family's property.

After listening to overdramatized testimonies of Bernard and his family, the police didn't waste any time and physically evicted the Seymour family from Pine Mansion.

As they were being dragged away by the police, Yvette was still cursing and shrieking. Her last words were a vicious threat, "You just wait! We will take all of you down with us if necessary!"
