“What the hell are you guys doing? Let go of me!”Someone had grabbed Jocelyn. She looked upset as she struggled.“Apologies, that won’t be possible. You broke something, so you have to pay up!” they said.Jocelyn struggled harder. “That thing broke by itself! I had nothing to do with it. This is slander!”“We all saw what happened. You did it on purpose! You’re pretty young, aren’t you? Why on earth are you so rude?”A crowd gathered to watch the scene unfold. They pointed fingers at Jocelyn, judging her blatantly.Tamara had no idea she’d run into Jocelyn here. Judging by the look of things, the girl had stirred up trouble.Tamara planned to turn a blind eye to the matter. However, Jocelyn ended up spotting her. The girl pointed at Tamara and said, “You want me to pay up, right? Well, you can get the money from her! She’s my aunt and is married to Sebastian Lynch. She’s really wealthy!”The crowd shifted their gaze toward Tamara. Jocelyn took this opportunity to break free of

“Why are you people so unreasonable?” Jocelyn was anxious. She could not believe that the hotel manager would turn out to be such a prick.It was clear that neither had any evidence to prove anything. Even so, the manager insisted that she had broken the vase.It was simply outrageous!Tamara’s brows furrowed at that. She did not expect the manager to resolve the situation this way.At this moment, Yareli spoke, “Tamara, you’re part of the Lynch family now. You can’t pretend to be weak and pitiful to garner sympathy from others to solve this issue. Why not just pay for it since the vase has already got broken? You should be more generous.”Even though it sounded like she meant well, Yareli had directly implied that Tamara had put on an act to fool the crowd.Suddenly, everyone turned to look at Tamara in surprise and equal disdain.“Goodness, she was pretending? I was just starting to pity her!”“She’s trying to soften us with that weak act of hers. Gosh, she’s such a scheming

“I honestly thought the Curio Duo and Tamara were just acquaintances, but they seem really close!”“Judging by how much they’re chatting, they seem like good friends. Furthermore, the Curio Duo appears to be able to read sign language!”“That must mean they’ve known each other for a while now.”Hushed whispers rang out. Everyone stared at Tamara in both shock and surprise.With an odd glint in her eyes, Yareli’s face darkened.It turned out that Tamara was acquainted with famous people.If Yareli could also get acquainted with them, she was sure she would make big bucks in the future.With a determined glint in her eyes, she made her way to Tamara.However, Margot was quick to block her path. “What are you trying to do?”Yareli’s expression darkened. “Miss Zimmerman, don’t you think it’s rude of you to get in the way of an elder like this?”“Oh? And dragging your daughter-in-law through the mud all the time isn’t rude at all, is it?” Margot lifted her chin as she rebuked. She

“Just like how you sealed my parents’ fates, huh?” Jocelyn mocked.Tamara had a calm expression on her delicate, fair face. “You can try and find out.”Who would be foolish enough to take Tamara up on that offer?Jocelyn ended up agreeing to Tamara’s terms submissively. Everything that followed went smooth sailing.Tamara contacted the university to discuss Jocelyn’s case. After that, she bid farewell to Margot and returned to Skarrowlilt Grove.At this moment, Yareli and William were chatting with Old Mr. Lynch in the living room.Upon Tamara’s return, Yareli smiled at her and said, “Tamara, you’re finally home! Did you enjoy shopping?”Tamara returned Yareli’s gaze with an emotionless one.It turned out that Tamara had overestimated this woman.The appearance of Carlos and Sam had rendered Yareli into a suck-up. Tamara wondered if the woman would end up capitulating before her if she knew about her other respectable identities.Yareli called Tamara over, “Why are you just s

It wasn’t Yareli?Things were starting to get interesting.Tamara’s fingers glided over the screen as she typed out a reply.Tamara: “Do whatever it takes to get that hotel manager talking.”Anthony: “Understood, Miss Simmons.”…Tamara had begun to speculate following the vase incident. After all, it was too coincidental that the person who got blamed for it was Jocelyn, while Tamara was also present. Whoever it was had intended to extort money from her and taint her public image so that she could not show her face among Londsville’s upper social class.It was clear that someone had done a background check on her.After all, the only person who knew about her identity and background at the time was Yareli.As such, her first suspect was Yareli, but it turned out that the woman had nothing to do with it.If it hadn’t been her, who else could it be?Tamara contemplated deeply. She did not notice the handsome yet devious man had walked down the stairs and was staring at her in
