Getting Rid of Pests Chapter 3
I knew that after I went missing, my birth mother had spent years searching for me. Her endless guilt and despair eventually led her to take her own life.After I'd become famous and appeared regularly on screen, Grandma had immediately recognized me as her long-lost granddaughter. She had come to me multiple times, desperately begging me to take a DNA test, longing for me to return to her side.The ones waiting for my return had never been the high-and-mighty Mr. Holmes Senior, and certainly not the arrogant Jason.Nancy's eyes widened in shock as she shouted, "So what if Grandma recognized you? This is the Holmes family! How does her opinion matter?"She pointed at me, her tone bitter and harsh. "Jason is the only future heir Dad has chosen for the Holmes family! If he says you can't enter, you won't set foot in this house!"I inwardly scoffed at how absurd Nancy was. Even after staying with the Holmes family for so long, she didn't even know who truly held power in the family.

Shock was written across Peter's, Jason's, and Nancy's faces. They clearly hadn't expected Grandma's sudden appearance. After my mother's death, Grandma had moved to a neighboring city and handed over Holmes Group's operations to Peter, choosing to stay out of business affairs.In my previous life, she had been the one who recognized and brought me back, but I had chosen to remain silent then, leading her to believe I was living well within the Holmes family. When Nancy had slandered my reputation, Grandma had tried to help, but my depression had led me to shut her out, missing out on our chance to connect.Seeing her again now, my eyes welled up with tears as I choked out, "Grandma..."She looked at me with deep kindness, her wrinkled hand gently caressing my cheek. "Oh, Rissa, I'm so sorry. I should've been here for such an important day!" Peter's jaw dropped in disbelief. "Mother, why didn't you tell us you were coming?"Grandma struck her cane against the floor hard enoug

The vase shattered at Peter's feet, sending shards flying everywhere. The impact made his legs give out, and he collapsed to his knees with a thud. Meanwhile, Nancy and Jason trembled in fear, not daring to make a sound.Grandma pointed at Peter and turned to me, declaring, "Rissa, let me make this clear—you're in charge of this family now! Anyone who dares to bully you will answer to me!"She turned to Nancy with a frosty look in her eyes. "Especially you! Since when did you have the right to make rules in this family?"I looked at Grandma with mixed emotions, knowing she was a victim too. She had lost her daughter early and had been deceived by this ungrateful traitor for so many years. I had only understood everything right before I had died in my previous life.I pulled a document from my bag and handed it to Grandma. Her hands shook as she opened it, her expression shifting from shock to rage and finally to deep grief. She hurled the papers at Peter's face, screaming, "Peter

Just then, the sound of urgent high heels echoed through the hallway, growing closer until they stopped outside the door. My heart warmed at the familiar rhythm—it was my adoptive mother, the award-winning actress and renowned director, Ophelia Lincoln.The door opened to reveal Mom's worried face, which only relaxed when she saw me. Before she could speak, Nancy rushed forward with star-struck eyes. She exclaimed, "Oh my! You're Ms. Ophelia Lincoln! What brings you here?"Then, she spun toward Jason excitedly. "Jason, did you arrange this for me? I want to start acting too. Is that why she's here?" Jason shot me a smug look and nodded. "Holmes Group has extensive connections. I'll support whatever you want to do, unlike someone who has to sell her body to get ahead."Mom's expression darkened. "Sell her body?"Nancy faked a sickeningly sweet tone. "Oh, Ms. Lincoln, don't you know? Clarissa here starred in an X-rated film right after graduation! How else could someone with her

Back home, I immediately checked social media. As expected, the Holmes family drama had taken over Twitter's trending topics. #HolmesGoldDiggerRejectsDaughter, #HolmesFakeHeiress, #FakeHeiressExposed, #RissasHomecomingStruggle—the hashtags were endless, and almost all were on my side.The comments were also absolutely wild. Someone commented, "Holy shit! This drama is better than any soap opera! These rich families are brutal!" "Poor Rissa! Can't even go back to her own home—I would've broken down!" "Nancy's such a fake! She wants to be an actress? Well, I'm officially her first hater!""But Rissa's comeback was amazing! That's how a real star handles things!"Reading these comments, I couldn't help but laugh. Peter and his little family had really managed to anger the media this time. Over the next few days, the Holmes family scandal continued to snowball. First, Nancy's past scandals were dug up. Everything from high school bullying to plastic surgery rumors and question

The private investigator finally had a breakthrough, so Grandma and I rushed to his office. He handed me an envelope and explained, "I found the woman who abandoned Nancy—her biological mother, Vera Powell."He continued, "Less than a month after Vera abandoned Nancy, Peter adopted her.Grandma's fists clenched in rage, and she growled, "That bastard! He told us his ex-wife was dead! He clearly planned for Nancy to take over everything that belonged to Rissa!"The investigator pulled out more documents. "There's something even more shocking—Peter and Vera never got divorced." I quickly grabbed the copied photos showing Peter and Vera together, back when his name was still Jimmy Truman.He had changed his name twice—first to Peter Truman when he was pursuing my mother, Tanya Holmes.

As soon as the words left my mouth, the paparazzi swarmed us, the flashes of their cameras nearly blinding everyone in sight. The reporters immediately bombarded me with questions, thrusting their microphones forward aggressively."Rissa! Is it true that you're the long-lost heiress of the Holmes family?" one reporter shouted. Another demanded, "Did you storm in here today because you're angry at Nancy for stealing your position?" "This hot temper of yours doesn't match your usual sweet public image, does it?"The sharp questions hit me like bullets, and I felt myself drowning in their relentless assault. In my previous life, I had meekly submitted to Nancy Holmes, letting her take what should have been my rightful place in the Holmes family. Yet, she had not only stepped on me to rise to power but continuously spread rumors about my supposedly scandalous personal life. In the end, I ended up dying from depression due to cyberbullying.Nonetheless, now that I had been reborn,

The reporters exploded into excited chatter at these words. Someone asked, "Mr. Holmes Senior? So even if Rissa comes back, she won't affect Nancy's position in the family?""Of course not! Even returning to a wealthy family won't change the fact that she's beneath us!" another shouted.Just then, my phone buzzed violently with a call from my manager, Amy Kensington. Her shrill voice nearly pierced my eardrum as she screamed, "Rissa! For heaven's sake, come back right now and forget about this family reunion! The livestream has gone viral, and everyone's saying you're pushing your luck! You're going against the richest man in Hemmingville, mind you!" She continued desperately, "Do you have any idea how much the Holmes family has invested in our company? Are you trying to kill me?" I couldn't help but laugh at Amy's outburst. "Amy, relax and just watch the livestream. I'll take responsibility for whatever happens."Amy's voice cracked with emotion as she pleaded, "Listen to me!
