All Chapters of Getting Rid of Pests: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

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,

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.

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

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
