Chapitre 65: Crowning the Outsider    

Sophie's world shattered the moment the words left her grandfather's mouth.

Eve . . . a Rosette?

The very thought felt like a dagger piercing her chest, twisting with every second that passed.

How could this be happening?

For years, Sophie had reveled in her superiority, in the certainty that she was the true Rosette. She would have flaunted it at every opportunity in the future, relishing the power and status that came with her name.

Eve was nothing—a nobody with no family, no claim to anything of importance.

And now . . . this?

Sophie's mind raced, her pulse thundering in her ears as disbelief and fury warred within her. Her lips parted in a soundless gasp, her throat tight as if the air had been sucked from the room.
