My cold voice froze him in place.
“Dominic, do you think I have a bad memory?”
“Fifteen minutes ago, you said you’d make me taste what it feels like to fall from favor. That you’d make it impossible for me to survive in New York.”
“And now you say you were wrong?”
A mocking laugh slipped out.
“It I really were just some powerless nobody, would you be kneeling here, begging for my forgiveness?”
“No. You wouldn’t.”
“If that were the case, I wouldn’t even see tomorrow’s sunrise.”
His lips trembled, but he couldn’t speak
My father glanced at his guards, and two of them stepped forward to haul Dominic to his feet.
“I won’t leave! Audrey! I really love you! Just one more chance!”
He thrashed against them, screaming.

Dominic froze, fumbling for his phone.

Around us, the employers also pulled out their phones, curiosity driving them.
Seconds later, the office filled with gasps.
“Darkhawl Group releases urgent statement… The heir has been changed from Dominic Vexmoor to eldest son James Vexmoor?”
“Goddess, look at the rest–Dominic Vexmoor is expelled from the Vexmoor family. All shares and assets under his name are to be seized. The Vexmoor family severs all ties with Dominic Vexmoor. Any future actions he takes have no connection to the Vexmoor family!”

“At this rate, one phone call from Chairman White is all it takes, right?”
Dominic stared blankly at the screen, finally realizing the truth.
I hadn’t lied to him. He had become heir because of me,
Now, with me and the Widte family turned against him, the Vexmoors discarded him like trash.
Now, he was nothing
“Heh heh hel”

“Get off me!” Dominic’s bloodshot eyes bulged as he seized her hair and smashed her head against the floor.
“This is your fault! You bitch! You ruined everything! You ruined my life!”
Chaos exploded. By the time people dragged them apart, Bella was unconscious, her head bleeding
Dominic was arrested on the spot for assault.

But no one cared.
As for Bella, she spent half a year in the pack hospital. She survived, but her face was ruined forever.
Experts at Sotheby’s appraised my mother’s Papillon necklace at one hundred million dollars.
Unable to pay, Bella was convicted of deliberately destroying an irreplaceable treasure.
The colleagues who had sided with her and bullied me that day were all fired.
A permanent stain marked their records. It was said that none of them ever found good work in Los Angeles again.
Their lives were destroyed by that one stupid moment of blind loyalty.
Less than three years later, news came again.
Dominic was dead.
