A well placed push would not only expose Nicole’s scheming but also help settle matters between theia and Nicolas for good

Diana looked taken aback, and Nicolas seemed momentarily lost for words

Diana studied Alicia in confusion. “Are you truly serious about cutting ties with the Hammonds

She had heard about Alicia’s recent conflicts with the family, even whispers of a permanent split but everyone assumed it was just anger talking.

Alicia replied honestly. “Ever since Nicole and her mother came to the Hammond family, there’s been less and less room for me.”

She offered a slight shrug. “I would rather walk away with dignity now than wait to be discarded later.

I’ve already spoken about it publicly in my livestream, and I will be making a formal announcement on Twitter.

So you see. Mrs. Moore, the alliance between your family and the Hammonds no longer concerns me.”

Diana fell silent for a long moment, her brow furrowed.

“But you are the Hammond’s daughter,” she said finally. “Why should you be the one to step aside?”

She studied Alicia closely, her disapproval evident. “Besides, if you leave now, wouldn’t you simply be giving that woman and her daughter exactly what they want?

Your brother may be the heir, but as a Hammond, you are entitled to your share of the family assets.

Are you truly willing to walk away from everything?”

Alicia exhaled softly, a note of quiet resignation in her voice. “Mrs. Moore, you may not be aware, but every expense since my childhood has been covered by my late mother’s inheritance.

“She even landed the family company’s endorsement deal

“But when I tried to do the same? They threw up every roadblock imaginable

“Now the whole internet believes Nicole’s the real Hammond heiress while I’m just some opportunistic outsider pretending to be part of the family.

“I got torn apart online for it. And not one of them ever spoke up to set the record straight.

“I invited them to my show, but not one of them bothered to come.

“The very next day, they all rushed off happily to support Nicole at her performance instead.

“And while they were busy posting cheerful photos together like the perfect siblings and friends they were, I was lying alone in a hospital bed, recovering from an accident that happened during my own show.

“Things like this kept happening, over and over. I couldn’t even begin to list them all.

“To them. Nicole was the real daughter, the real sister. I was just someone in the way, an eyesore, keeping their picture-perfect family from being whole.”
