Chapter 260

Darius was sure he had looked at everyone present, yet he could not determine the source of the
voice.

That was because he did not see anyone open their mouths when the person spoke.

It rattled Darius.

Still, he kept a blank countenance with both hands in his pockets.

"If any of you guys find those words reasonable," Darius said calmly, "Then you should be helping this
hostess out instead of allowing her to stay here and start trouble."

He sounded so unbothered that no one dared look into his eyes.

In truth, he found it silly how the person's retort made everyone, including the security guard earlier,
glower at him in distaste.

Thus, he turned to face Erin, instructing, "That lady looks like the epitome of all hostesses.Her dress,
shoes, necklace, earrings, and every little accessory appears expensive.On top of that, her hands are
smooth, free from any scars or wrinkles caused by hard labor.That said, I’d like to know what she used
to do before working here, and I believe you can give me an answer at once."

Erin looked up at that moment, her face lighting up as she took ina look of trust from Darius.Her heart
raced as she nodded and whipped out her phone in a split second.

"I had the same doubts as you, Mr.Reid.Here's all the information I found earlier."

Following that, she flashed her pearly whites, smirking at the hostess.



There was nothing the hostess could do except stand her ground.

Nonetheless, her breathing deepened as she balled her fists by her sides, her features hardening at
Erin.

"Quit beating around the bush! Since you claim to know things, there’s no need to utter such
unnecessary things to attract everyone’s attention.I have the utmost confidence that no one here will
fall for your lies!"

"Perfect." Erin’s smirk broadened.

"I'll admit I'm shocked to hear you say that, Miss Gillette."

Sharp inhales came from everyone at the scene.

Soon, every person held their breath, indicating how collectively startled they were by the truth.

The Gillette family was the oldest and most renowned family in Almiron city.

With that in mind, everyone was shocked to learn a daughter of the Gillette family had disguised herself
as a hostess and welcomed others at the main door.

After a long pause, everyone’s foreheads scrunched up in confusion as they had never seen a Gillette
family member that looked like the hostess before.

Erin could tell the other guests were doubting her, but she did not care.

Instead, she stayed emotionless and added, "You never received formal education from the Gillette
family because you're an illegitimate child.Also, before the Gillettes could do a physical checkup on
you, they assumed you were a boy and took you in.That was the outcome your mother desperately
wanted, as she had worked hard for it over many years.Sadly, you ruined your mother’s plans because



you weren’t properly educated, revealing your gender to everyone.Furthermore, the death of Hank,
your half-brother, only made everyone more upset with your deception.That's why the Gillettes have
never publicly announced you as their family member."

Despite Erin calmly revealing the shocking truth, everyone fell into a grave silence.

It was because they were witnessing the unearthing of the Gillette family's secret, something they
should have never known.

Their participation alone was detrimental; they knew no one could get away unscathed if this matter
angered the Gillette family.

Hence, all color drained from the faces of every guest.

They then glared daggers at the hostess and Erin.

Not a single reaction came from Erin, however.She stood there with her hands by her sides, boldly
meeting everyone’s furious scowls.

Erin could not care less if the people now had a negative impression of her; she did not rely on them for
a living, after all.

Unfortunately, things were different for the hostess.Her face darkened more than anyone present.

It was hard enough for her to join the Gillette family from the start; her father was very disappointed
when he realized she had been lying about being a boy all this while.

Not only that, but he even got himself a non-biological son to inherit all his wealth rather than give
everything to her.



For that reason, she showed up in disguise today to meet other affluent acquaintances of the Gillette
family; she wanted their help getting back into the Gillettes’ good graces.

Yet, it was clear as day that her plan had failed.

Everyone sneered at her, which meant none of them would ever help her now.

The hostess stood frozen, her fists curling tautly as her breathing spiked.

Desperate to resolve the situation, the cogs in her brain turned at the speed of light, but it was to no
avail; the guests now saw her as a villain.

All she could do now was alleviate their negative impressions of her.

So, her gaze hardened, snapping over to Darius.She then announced with determination, "What you’ve
said is correct.However, I can’t help my lack of proper education or my blood relation to the Gillettes.I
didn't choose to be born into this family either.Even so, I’m working really hard to get back in touch with
the Gillettes, as you’ve all probably guessed.While my methods may seem shameful, this is my last
option.You have a blessed, carefree life—sadly, I don’t."
