"| lent her money

What a fraud!"

Everyone chimed in, hurling criticism at her from every direction, bombarding Sadie with rumors and judgment.

her previous confidence completely gone.

Holding my medal and flowers, | walked up to Bill, draping it around his neck. "Dad, thank you."

He wrapped his arms aroundand we took a photo.

| looked up at the bright, sunny sky. Zoey, can you see this?

This was the moment she had always dreamed of-geting Bill's recognition and finally establishing herself as his

outstanding daughter. The scene froze in time.

Today's front page headline would be aboutand Bill, while Sadie would be exposed as the fake she was.

After the event, | saw Sadie cornered by Ashley in the parking lot. She hadn't even had tto change out of her

gown.

""Let go of me!"

Ashley demanded. "Explain yourself. If you're not his daughter, then who's your real father?"

"What does it matter to you? I'm your girlfriend, Don't tellyou want to ditchnow?"

Ashley gripped her wrist so tightly it turned red. He questioned, "What happened with the Gardners? I've

1 pushed Carter forward, stepping into the conversation "Regarding her biological father, you are familiar with

him-Zack Harrison, who is on the verge of bankruptcy. Does that clear things up? The recent event with Zack

cutting the ribbon had caused a stir, and now he was the laughingstock of

everyone.

Ashley finally put the pieces together and asked, "So, your mom was having an affair with him? Are you a

b"stard?"

Sadie instantly shot back, furious. "Who are you calling a b*stard?"

But this wasn't just about calling names. Ashley's mind was fixated on one thing-getting Bill to confirm it.

"Bill, tellthis isn't true, Sadie is your daughter, right?

Bill smirked coldly. "Do you really think she is?"

"I've spent all this money on her. | just bought her a house and a car-all for your sake!"

Sadie had learned stricks over time. Realizing that secrets couldn't stay hidden forever, she had planned

the whole thing, coaxing Ashley into buying her a house and a car.

Ashley thought he could just use Sadie to get closer to Bill. He believed that Bill would repay him for all the

money he spent once he bechis son-in-law.

He thought he could control Sadie at will, but little did he know that Sadie had outwitted him.

All the properties were in Sadie's name!

Bill, upon learning that Ashley was a key factor in Zoey's depression, couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction

at this.

"My reputation is so cheap that anyone can use it?" With a mocking smile, Bill asked, "When you abandoned

Zoey, did you ever think this would happen?"

Ashley must have regretted his actions, turning his back on the real heiress to pursue a love affair with an

illegitimate daughter.

Now, he was despised by his own family and disliked by the Gardners. He had even spent a significant amount of

money in recent days in an attempt to please Sadie.

The truth finally surfaced-it was all a scam. Ashley felt as if the world had collapsed around him.

He looked at me, his lips moving as if he was about to say something, but Carter shot him a cold glance, and

Ashley quickly fell silent.

Ashley was lost for words.

Just then, Sadie tried to run. Already furious, Ashley grabbed her by the back of her neck and slapped her

so hard that she fell to the ground.

*#B*tch! I've spent so much money on you, and you still want to run?"

"Ashley, didn't you say you lovedand would do anything for me?"

"Do anything to you, my foot! If you aren't Bill's daughter, who would even look at you? I'm done with your

heiress attitude. Sadie, | warn you, if you don't payback with interest, I'll sell you to the nightclubs to settle

your debt." His slaps had left Sadie's hair in a mess, and blood flowed from her face as she crawled toward us

like a dog.

"Dad. I'm begging you to helpagain. | really know was wrong.

"Stop callingas your dad. | don't have a disgusting daughter like you. Every t| think about what you did

to Zoey, | wish | could tear you apart!"

When Zoey's nwas mentioned, Sadie quickly glanced at me. "Zoey, Mrs. Bolton, you're kind-hearted and

beautiful. We're sisters, after all. | know I've wronged you in the past. Please, help me."

"Help you? You were just slanderingat school not long ago. How dare you askfor help?"

She continued to grovel and begged me, while sclassmates nearby saw everything clearly.

"Oh my god, Sadie is this shameless?"

"Sadie, givemy money back!"

Her classmates rushed toward her.

Sadie, no longer caring about anything, ran away without looking back. She almost got hit by a car as she

crossed the street, causing the driver to lean out and curse at her.

"B*tch, you can hide now,

but you can't run fromforever."

Ashley rushed to chase her in the car, but Sadie had already disappeared.

The students nearby now understood the truth when they sawwheel Carter.

It was Carter who had donated the building.

Even though he was disabled, no one dared to look down on him.

"Zoey, I'm sorry. We misunderstood you because we listened to Sadie. Can you forgive me?"

"| even cursed you with her before. I'm really sorry."

They weren't sincere in their apology; they were just afraid I'd settle the score later.

| calmly replied, "It's fine. | never held a grudge."

Whether they praised or insulted me, | didn't care. | had no intention of becoming friends with them, so their

opinions didn't matter.

| didn't look at those so-called classinates again. They were just fair-weather friends who would vanish after

As the car door slowly closed. | saw the Carlyns brothers standing not far away.

One harbored malicious intention with a smile on his fire, while the other's grin was bright and dazzling.
