I hadd investigated where the first video came from.
The Harpers were behind it.
They thought the pressure from public opinion would force me into helping them,but they overestimated themselves.They could bribe influencers,but couldn’t I?
Money solves problems.
I paid influencers double to clear my name.They agreed instantly.
Before the crowd was taken away,I went down to meet them.
Seeing me,they grew even angrier.
“Finally,the wicked woman shows her face!You dare arrest us?”
“You made your parents kneel and beg.You deserve to die!”
I waved,and my assistant played the influencers’ apology videos,followed by the office’s security footage,the Harpers’words were clear.
Bennett Enterprises’ website posted details my lawsuit and grievances with the Harpers, all the evidence were there.
Realizing they had been used,the crowd’s faces twisted with guilt and rage.
I only went after the ringleaders.Others were released after signing statements.
The netizens turned their fury on the Harpers and influencers.
“This is how people’s sympathy gets used.Who’ll stand up for anyone now?”
“These bloggers lie without blinking.Can’t we ban their million-follower accounts?”
“Thank God Sophia was raised by the Bennetts.”
“They should rot.I’ve got an arrest record now.”
The scandal bankrupted the Harpers for good.
Their reputation was trashed;no one business would talk to them.
They had no chance to recover,as I sued them for defamation, they now faced legal consequences.
The Harper case drew attention to my lawsuit with Jessica.
In court,Jessica sobbed,begging forgiveness.
I didn’t budge at all.
Jessica was sentenced to five years in prison.
Learning this,the Harpers,enraged,rushed towards me with a knife in theri hands after court,but my bodyguard stopped them.
They could’ve avoided jail.
Now,the trio can reunite behind bars.
Jessica’s friends who couldn’t pay, also faced jail.Those who scraped by to pay up would live in debt forever.
Chloe,after Tyler’s fall,hooked up with another tycoon,only to be caught by his wife, and was humiliated in a viral video.
Just like what she did to me.
Years later,I inherited Bennett Enterprises and became CEO.
After an event,I took a stroll with a friend.
A ragged beggar was sitting on the street, her hair covering her face, she kept her head down and kept muttering.
"I’m the Harper heiress.I’m the real one.I’m rich…”
I paid no attention to her, turned around, and entered a jewelry store.
My foster parents’ anniversary was next month.I needed to buy them gifts.
Those who wronged me?
They all got what they deserved.
