Chapter 156 ANNA IS NOT DISOWNED 1
1019words
Kate had been styled by her daughter Nari, and just as they had planned, they were there for the publicity they needed.
Nari had already hired a few paparazzi to make the photos look genuine as she and her mother walked into the mall. They had two security men escort them in because of the crowd they had hired to cheer them on so that they could silence a few users who bashed them online.
"Oh my gosh is Nari Sui." A girl yelled and everyone who saw Nari in the mall gasped from excitement and shock. It's not everyday you get to see celebrity in real life, especially the ones that keep trending back to back on the internet. Before the internet hated her, Nari was the most loved celebrity online, she did no wrong in people's eyes.
But after Anna exposed her, everyone hated her. Seeing Anna's family adopt Nari, the questions finally arose.
'Did Nari really did the things Anna accused her of?'
But Nari had admitted to it herself, did she lie?
Was she forced to say it because Anna bullied her?
Did Anna's family decided to adopt Nari because of the bad things they have done to her?
Even if Nari had stolen Mack Yong away from Anna, she had explained that they have dated before and she couldn't tell her best friend she still had a thing for her ex. She already apologized for everything.
'Oh Anna isn't a girls girl after all.' she's a big pretender, the villain who always acts so innocent. They wouldn't forget how badly she had treated Nari before. They won't let her bully Nari any longer.
Bringing up all of these conspiracy headlines were enough to turn the heart of everyone from Anna once more. The public were slowly hating on Anna, wishing her death.
"Please calm down." Nari said to the hired crowd, a sweet smile hanging on her lips as she stared at them. She didn't need to worry when she could pay for whatever she needed and deceive the public to see her as something she's not.
"Can we get a picture?" A girl asked as they videoed her.
"No, maybe next time, today is a special day for my mother alone. I need to spend more time with her." At her words, the security helped her shift the crowd and she started walking again with Kate, smiling from ear to ear.
Nari couldn't be more thankful at a second chance at life, and this time, she'll make sure she doesn't play with it, even if it means eliminating a few people.

While Kate and Nari were busy showering each other with love and gifts at the mall. Lola had arrived with a few news broadcasters, setting up their tables and chairs at the back of the hospital. Grace was preparing to give a speech to counter everything Kate had told the public.
Her father hadn't said anything about the situation, and the family company had remained silent, neither confirming nor denying Kate's claims about Anna being disowned and banned from the family.
The last make up brush touched Grace's face and she took a deep breath. Her heart raced as she saw many reporters and camera men standing there eagerly waiting for her to start. She hasn't spoken before this crowd of people before and she didn't know how she would now.
Noah had told her it would just be here and a big screen, but this was the opposite of what he had promised.
"Are you okay?" He asked to see Kate nod. Since Anna had shown a little sign of recovery, both people have been so happy. They left her in the hands of the nurse who always took good care of her since they had other important things to do.
"I'm nervous." Grace was honest. Kate is the bold one, she isn't. She's only good at hiding in the mansion reading books and playing dress up since a little.
"It's normal." Noah's deep voice echoed in her ears. "But it isn't something you cannot do." Came Noah's words. "Just like your neice, you can do this." He smiled at her and she smiled back.
Grace could tell why her neice love this man so much. He's the most caring yet heartless person she has ever seen in her life. He choose to be kind to people and then be a deadly venom to others.
Grace stepped up to the makeshift podium, taking a deep breath. The cameras were rolling, and reporters were ready with their questions. She knew she had to be strong, for Anna and for the truth.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for being here today," Grace began, her voice steady. "I am here to address the recent statements made by a certain blog regarding Anna Sui. Those statements are completely false. Anna has always been, and will always be, a beloved member of our family."
She paused, letting her words sink in before continuing. "The Sui family is currently going through a difficult time, and we ask for your understanding and respect for our privacy. My niece, Anna, is fighting for her life, and we need to support her, not tear her down with baseless rumors."
A murmur went through the crowd as the reporters took in her words. Grace could see some of them scribbling furiously in their notepads, while others nodded in agreement.
"Yes, to answer your questions, Nari is now a Sui, but that doesn't mean we disowned Anna." The crowd erupted and series of words flew from one end of the hall to another.
Speculations began, headlines began as news outlets made their own story from it.
