Colette grew flustered as she read the comments online. She immediately called Jane.Jane had just watched the videos and was at a loss when her phone rang. She checked to see who was calling and took a deep breath before answering."Lettie, have you watched the latest videos online? Is your cousin speaking the truth?" she asked bluntly.Colette stole a march on her as she demanded, "Does it matter whether or not she's speaking the truth? The priority now is to clear up my name. Get me several reporters that we're familiar with and schedule an interview for me!"Jane was starting to get a headache. Colette's response blatantly hinted that Cindy was speaking the truth."Of course, it matters," she replied. "Your cousin has recorded the conversation between you both. If she can prove you were the one who instructed her to splash the acid, you're going to court."What's the point in clearing up your name via the interview? Those who were accidentally burned by the acid were your die

Sarah glanced at Benjamin and was shocked to see him. "Mr. Harper!"Benjamin's eyes darkened. "Mrs. Connor."Yves was dumbfounded. He looked from Sarah to Benjamin. "Ben, you know each other?"Benjamin hummed softly in acknowledgment. "She used to be the Warde family's butler, Mrs. Warde Senior's most trusted assistant. No wonder you can't get any information after so long."His calm gaze fell on Sarah. He signaled her to sit and went straight to the point. "You know why I've brought you to Danube City."I want to know what happened to Victoria when she lived with the Jamesons. If you don't tell me, I'll personally meet Mrs. Warde Senior to discover the truth."Sarah immediately said, "Don't ask Mrs. Warde Senior about that."Benjamin immediately understood. "Seems like she knows about it."She was rendered speechless. It was then she understood she was tricked. She sighed. "Who is Ms. Victoria to you?" she asked.He told her straightforwardly, "She'll soon be the Harper famil

Nicole frowned and stopped arguing with Zachary. They exchanged a glance and had a sense of foreboding.Zachary was irritated. "What's he here for?"Nicole glowered. She was miffed, too. "How would I know? Did you stir up trouble again?""No, I didn't!"Reporters were hovering outside his house. He had attracted a lot of attention because of Colette. How would he have the courage to loiter about outside?Zachary felt upset and wronged at being blamed.As they were speaking, Benjamin and Yves walked in with Benjamin in the lead. Yves followed him like a puppy and was carrying a laptop.Nicole's expression switched to one full of smiles once she saw them. She greeted them warmly, "Why hadn't you called before visiting?"Benjamin didn't even spare her a glance. He walked past her and sat on the sofa. Couldn't be bothered with pleasantries, he went straight to the point. "The annulment fee."Nicole was stunned. She did her best to maintain smiling. "I don't think I'm following."

In the spacious living room, Zachary tried his best to lower his presence. He even stifled his breath as he tried to slip away.After toppling over the table, Nicole was still seething. She turned to glare at her son just in time to see him edging outward carefully.She immediately lost her temper. "Zachary Harper, look at what you've done! Get back here!" she bellowed as veins bulged on her temple.Startled, Zachary tried to flee. But he chickened out when he sensed Nicole glaring at him dangerously.Nicole hissed, "Why do I have such a good-for-nothing like you as a son? You're not only incompetent, but you're also a mischief-maker. I spend most of my days cleaning up after you."What use is there in me racking my brains for your future when you behave in such a way? I can grovel and beg all I want, but you'll still fail me!" Her anger flared as she spoke. She stomped toward Zachary and prodded him on the arm. "Where were your hands when you needed them? Did I give birth to an

Victoria looked suspiciously at Benjamin. Then, she peered at the paper he placed on the table.Her eyes instantly lit up when she saw the words "Certificate of Title"."Benjamin …" she exclaimed. Her hands moved before she could think, and she picked it up.Grantee: Victoria JamesonOwnership Status: Sole ownershipLocation: 888 Dawn Street, Rivendell Apartment #1, Hammington, Youngville.Victoria skimmed through the details and noticed the gross building area. It was 4176.4 square feet.She was stunned by the sudden bliss and couldn't resist the smile forming on her lips. "Is this the house Zachary is giving me as compensation?"According to the market price, a house of that size was worth more than 100 million.As expected of the Harper family, they would dish out birthday gifts worth hundreds of millions.For the sake of this house, she would've given Nicole and Zachary leeway for the annulment fee. However, what they did was simply too despicable.She continued reading
