“Mr.Harper,still not telling her the truth?”
Mr.Harper pleaded.
“Sophia,we’re your biological parents after all.You’d hate for us to fall out over this,right?If Jessica upset you,we’ll take some discipline into her at home!”
Even now,they hid the Harpers’bankruptcy from Jessica.
“I”m not the one who started this.Jessica tried to destroy me.”
“I warned her when she smashed the jewelry.She tried to strip me naked on live,with millions watching.If she had succeeded,where would I be?”
“She’s your adopted daughter.I’m your biological one.Yet you sided with her to bully me?”
Recalling the scene,my face darkened even more.
“Adopted or not,I’m the Harper heiress!”
Jessica,clueless,stayed arrogant.
“Mom,Dad,why grovel?We’re not Bennetts,but$10 million’s nothing for us.Sell my villa at the beach to cover it.”
“Shut up!”
Mr.Harper glared.
“We’ve been bankrupt for years.Forget$10 million—we can’t scrape together$10,000.Your villa’s long gone, sold to pay debts!”
Jessica collapsed,unable to accept the truth.
Her friends were dumbfounded.They’s hoped to profit from her,but now, apart from the fact that no money was coming their way, they also faced ruin.
“We’re not paying!Jessica told us to smash it.Go after her!”
“Yeah,Jessica owes us millions.We only did it cuz she promise money for us.”
“Sorry,Miss Bennett.We were wrong.Please don’t hold it against us.”
They groveled,abandoning their “sisterhood” with Jessica.
People are so fickle. They’re just a bunch of snobs.
If they had only smashed the jewelry,I might’ve let it slide,assuming they believed Jessica’s lies.
But they humiliated me on on front of millions of people and tried to stip off my clothes.
I would never them.
You break it, you buy it. And apologies alone are not enough.
When I refused to reach a settlement,they panicked,arguing with Jessica,demanding she take full blame herself.
Jessica shoved them away,she turned to face my adoptive parents.
“Mr.and Mrs.Bennett,I was wrong to bully Sophia,but she was the wrong who bullied me in the first place.”
“She seduced my childhood sweetheart,Tyler,sending him explicit photos at midnight,booking hotels,and bragging about becoming Mrs.Anderson.”
“How could I stand it?She’s a mistress.Won’t you do anything?”
My adoptive parents trusted me, they denied it without asking.
“Sophia would never meddle in anyone’s relationships.She wouldn’t even glance at that Anderson kid.You’re mistaken.”
I took the phone from the driver,showing Twitter’s top trend.
“Jessica,check your phone.Tyler and his mistress are trending.”
“Oh,you know her.”
