Explicit chats,blurred nudes,and intimate bed photos.
The woman was Jessica’s influencer friend,Chloe Evans.
Jessica’s face turned livid.
“Chloe,I treated you like a real sister,and you slept with my man?How did I wrong you to betray me?”
She slapped Chloe hard.
Chloe,clutching her face,laughed.
“Sister?How funny.We’re just your dogs.You toss us scraps when you’re happy and kick us when aside you’re not.”
“I’m fed up with you.Why should you have Tyler?I seduced him on purpose.He said you’re like a dead fish in bed.He doesn’t love you.”
“You’re a fake heiress.With the Harpers now bankrupt,your engagement’s over.You’re finished.”
Jessica threw herself at Chloe and the two of them got into a fight.Others pulled them apart as chaos erupted.
I leftthis mess the Bennett family lawyers,assigning compensation based on each person’s damage in the surveillance footage.
Some,with minor damage,paid and left.
Those with heavier damage couldn’t afford it and were detained.
Chloe owed plenty,but Tyler bailed her out,breaking off his engagement with her in front of the Harpers.
Jessica was furious.
Facing the massive bill,the Harpers tried to beg.
My foster parents told them to shut up mercilessly,saying sparing jail was generous enough.
Leaving the station,my foster parents half-scolded me for not telling them sooner.If it weren’t for the drivers call, they’d still had no idea what happened.
I hugged my foster mom,playfully dodging the issue.
Tyler’s scandal was my foster parents’doing.They pressured the Andersons,forcing Tyler to clarify.
Jessica’s misunderstanding stemmed from Tyler.When she found his cheating texts,he changed the contact to my name to protect Chloe.
He thought Jessica wouldn’t dare act against me,he didn’t know that the Harpers didn’t care at all and just let her attack me.
Mr.Anderson and Tyler apologized in person at our house.
I didn’t bother to hold Tyler responsible.
The Bennetts cut all business with the Andersons.
Rumor has it Tyler was beaten half to death by his grandfather,losing his heir status to a half-brother.
I handed the Harper lawsuit to our lawyers.
For half a month,the Harpers bombarded me with texts and calls,guilt-tripping me with family ties or begging.
I ignored them.
But then,they ambushed me at my office.
They knelt down before me.
“Sophia,for our blood ties,help us,please.”
“If Mr.Bennett agrees worked with us,we wouldn’t be bankrupt.Jessica’s no longer our daughtwe.You’re our only daughter.”
“Sophia,are you so heartless you’d abandon your own parents?”
