Since we got Michael's word of support, I did not hold back and handed Jia the list that Lucas and I made when we were investigating.When Jia saw the long list, she was shocked. "...If we did not ask for help, I'll be doing this all alone? I am afraid the money I get from my previous transactions would be sucked away by this."I felt guilty. Sneaking other people's houses and getting the videos was just the tip of the iceberg.There were steps in our plan that needs a lot of money, manpower, and influence. After all, Alejandro and his wife have some backing and wealth to shield any troubles coming their way. They had already taken root in upper-class society, so uprooting them would be difficult. Just fighting them with pure evidence would not be enough. So to crush them completely, we need a thorough plan.But with only Jia, it would take a lot of time and effort. Especially on Jia's part, she would be exhausted from running here and there. And her life might be at risk because of
It was lively and festive in the Miguel Mansion.The extensive vast garden was decorated grandly emphasizing the beauty of the manor. There were tables and chairs set up in the hall And a stage with a large screen was placed at the center. There were many various lights illuminating the venue, giving the guests the illusion that they were in a fairyland. The classical music in the background was played by a live orchestra, adding more of a dignified and harmonic atmosphere.Alejandro and Claire were greeting the important guests at the entrance. They wanted to use this chance to acquaint themselves with the big families so they sent a lot of invitations wishing those proud families would extend their hand.However, over the years, only a few of these families were willing to befriend the Miguel family. After all, for these prominent families that have hundreds of years of history, the Miguel family was only a newly established family in the upper-class society that doesn't have much
Clang!The sound of glass breaking broke the silence.All eyes on the screen turned to Ella who staggered in her steps. She was so pale and her body was frozen stiff. In front of her was the broken wine glass.It was then followed by the guest's shocked murmurs and loud whispers."...Is that video true?""...Ella is trying to kill someone, right?""Did you see her craze expression? That's the eyes of a murderer."The guests shuddered. The video was only played for a few seconds before the power was cut off. But it left a deep and shocking impression on them. Not to mention, the person in the video was currently standing in front of them.Ella was too overwhelmed by the appearance of this video which exposed her true face. Not only was she exposed but it was witnessed by these important people on her special day!The gazes and loud murmurs of the people around her made her flustered and panicked.Claire was quick to recover and helped her horrified daughter to hide from the prying eyes
The other guests who were done watching could not help but exclaim loudly, "Such things really happen? How come someone as said to be kind and innocent pushed a person to the corner to kill herself and beat a middle-aged man to death?""A kind and innocent? Did you not see the video clearly? This is her true face.""Woah. So scary."Ella trembled. She looked horrified. Her true face was exposed to the public and now the whole world knows what she had done! What would happen to her now?Everything was going well....why...Why it happened now?Now...Her fiancé hated her. She had destroyed her family's dream.Her good reputation was tarnished. Even her father destroyed all the existing videos, the guests who attended today would not forget what they witnessed and it would spread through words.

The videos were recently made and the content was the people who bullied the victim before. They have spoken on the video and testified about what happened back then. It was not specified what was their reason for suddenly making these videos or why they confessed their sins. A girl who tried to hide her face with a mask spoke weakly, "....Ella would treat us with a meal and give us money. In return, we spread rumors about Pia. It was strange because we all know they were friends but since it was easy money we still do it. The bullies who bullied Pia were also paid by Ella."It was followed by 'evidence'. Pictures and some videos from those years ago where Ella and those bullies were having fun together in some restaurants or parks were captured and filmed.It was proof that Ella, who was known as Pia's best friend back then, was on 'good terms' with the people who bullied Pia, supporting the witness' statement. Some people who recognized Pia and witnessed the incident back then als
Seeing the news about her was gone, Ella breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her father. Alejandro was pained because he lost a huge amount of wealth so when he saw Ella, the source of all this trouble, his patience ran out. He reprimanded her badly and grounded her for months. Ella's 'sweet daughter's' trick did not work at this moment. "Because of your mess, I lost my face and money! You have to reflect in your room for months. You will not come out until I find you another fiancé. Now with your reputation ruined, not a lot of men in those big families would want you. So I advise you to prepare yourself mentally and accept what you have been given." Ella had a bad premonition. What if her father chose an old man to marry her? She acted pitiful and sweet to her father but Alejandro remained cold-hearted. He was still pained by the fact that he lost a lot in this incident so he did not care about her cries. Claire comforted her daughter and told her that she won't let her marr
Ella was not in a good state as well. She had been focusing on the news and knew what had happened. She thought everything would be over by now, but how come those videos never stopped? Ella had never been cursed so badly like this before. So whenever she read the comments of netizens cursing at her she raged and cried. She hated those people who continuously condemned her and tarnished her name. She hated that teacher and those witnesses who testified against her. She hated the channel news that covered the news. She also hated her father who failed to bury this matter. She hated everything that she could not sleep and lost her appetite. However, she still had to depend on this failed father so she could get her life back. "Dad-" Ella was about to cry on him when she paused. The room was messy and Alejandro turned to her with red eyes. Alejandro approached her step by step and slapped her. Slap! It was such a resounding slap that I could not help but raise my brow. Ella stag
After the school was closed, a big revelation was exposed the next day.It was the identity of the person that was targeted by Ella and the whole school. Her surname was Young. She was Alejandro's other daughter with his first wife.My identity brought another spice to this scandal.They have made many speculations and family dog-blooded drama which made the public dig into my matter. That was when an anonymous person posted an article concerning my identity and a bit of background of the Young family- of course, this person was on our side.It was mentioned that Alejandro was an assistant of the former household head of the Young family- the wife's family- and trained him. The head then married his daughter to Alejandro and I came to the world. The article told my story briefly on how my mother and I were rich but then suddenly our lives changed after the head died and the divorce occurred.We purposely did not reveal too much on this so we could spice things up more.
