The middle-aged man chimed in, “Well, Addion happens to be Blayze's stepmother's niece."

As Sabrina pondered Blayze's stepmother's irrational actions, the middle-aged man's words suddenly seemed somewhat believable.

It could be that Blayze's cousin was involved, and Blayze remained unaware of the truth.

Curious, the bespectacled man asked, "So, what's Addion's real name?"

"Sierra Rivera," the middle-aged man replied.

Before the young photographer and the bespectacled man could react, Sabrina gave a slight cough at the mention of Sierra.

The three of them turned to look at Sabrina and instantly steered the conversation toward the competition.

Sabrina's coughing fit subsided, and she cleared her throat, shifting to the seat to her right.

The trio fell silent and turned their attention to her, their expressions reflecting curiosity.

Sabrina smiled and inquired, "Is Sierra really Blayze's cousin?"

The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow, responding, “Why would I lie to you?"

Intrigued, Sabrina pressed further, “How did you find this out?"

"One of my relatives has business dealings with the Fowler family," the middle-aged man explained.

"You're aware of Blayze's occupation, right?"

While the bespectacled man and the young photographer only knew Blayze as a photographer and a competition judge, the middle-aged man seemed to know much more about Blayze.

His words lent credibility to the claim that Sierra was both Blayze's cousin and the niece of Blayze's stepmother.

With this new information, Sabrina began to piece together the puzzle.

She considered that if Sierra was Blayze's cousin, then Blayze's stepmother must be...

She was struck with a sense of foreboding.

She remained seated for an extended period, mulling over her thoughts.
