Liora slapped Mandy's hand and asked, her anger barely restrained, "It was you, right?"
Without hesitation, Mandy admitted, "Yes, it was me! I reported them! I gathered the evidence! What? Is that not acceptable?"
Liora looked at Mandy as if she were a stranger before slapping her face. "They're your family!"
Clutching her face, Mandy gazed up and questioned with a smile, "Family? My father sent me overseas as a child to fend for myself, all for his own status. Can he truly be called family?"
And as for her half-brother, Chadwick, what sort of person was he?
Prison was the only fitting punishment for them!
When Liora contemplated the prospect of her lover and Chadwick facing prison and the potential downfall of everything they had worked for over the years, she couldn't care less about the guests.
She revealed a decades-old secret, "Mandy, Chadwick is your biological brother!"
Mandy widened her eyes upon hearing Liora's revelation and glanced at Chadwick. Her real brother? Did she mean the kind who shared both parents with her?
Chadwick turned his gaze from Richard to Liora and asked coldly, "What are you saying?"
Marcus approached the Pendletons and sneered. "Pendleton, what a romantic you are, willing to sacrifice your reputation for the woman you love!"
Richard surveyed the Quills, Fosters, Lockwoods, and others from smaller families that relied on him. He understood that his days were numbered. He had not anticipated such a complete defeat. He had been under the impression that by offering incentives to these people, he could control and trust them to handle all the unpleasant tasks for him.
