After Being Replaced I Left Them All Behind-Now They Regret It novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135

Leo stared at the big screen, his eyes wide with disbelief.

Then, looking utterly shaken, he turned to Kevin. “What the hell is going on?”

It finally hit him..

Kevin had been keeping things from him all along, and Alicia hadn’t been too busy to come home.

He just couldn’t understand why Alicia would want to cut ties with them.

And she’d gone so far as to make such a scene right at his birthday banquet.

She was so publicly severing ties with them, intentionally embarrassing him and the Hammond family in front of all their guests.

‘I’m her father! Why is she treating me like I’m her enemy?’ he thought, his heart aching.

His face turned ashen with rage, and he clutched his chest, his breath coming in short gasps. He was clearly furious.

Kevin never saw it coming-Alicia’s so-called “big surprise” was actually this bombshell.

She was dead set on cutting ties with them. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have pulled this stunt right in front of everyone.

Just as he was about to speak, someone in the crowd suddenly gasped.

“Whoa, Alicia just dropped a post on X!” someone shouted.

This person had notifications turned on for Alicia, so they got an alert every time she posted.

Someone else leaned in, curious. “What did she say? Is she dropping another bomb about cutting ties?”

The person glanced awkwardly at the Hammond family before answering, “She tagged Hammond Group and Kevin, telling them to pay back what they owe.”

The crowd gasped in shock.

Right away, people started pulling out their phones, searching up Alicia’s post on X.

After reading it, everyone had the same thought: Alicia wasn’t pulling any punches—she was absolutely savage.

Just like her last “gift”, this was another bomb dropped on the Hammond family, totally

humiliating them in front of everyone.

Of course, Leo caught that bit of conversation.

He turned to Kevin. “What’s this X post? Pull it up for me.”

He’d never bothered to sign up for X and hardly ever checked it.

Whenever he went online, it was just for news or business stuff.

Even though both his daughters were in showbiz, he never really paid much attention to that world.

Kevin pulled out his phone and opened Alicia’s X page, and for a second, it felt like his heart was about to give out.

Seeing his reaction, Leo snatched the phone from him. When he saw what was on the screen, he was so mad he almost blacked out on the spot.

AliciaDelaneyOfficial: You’ve been stalling on this debt for way too long. Wire the money to my account within three days, or I’ll see you in court!

She attached a copy of the shareholding agreement and a photo of the legal complaint.

And to make sure everyone saw it, she tagged Hammond Group’s official X account and Kevin’s personal account.

Leo turned to Kevin, his voice shaking. “What is it this time?”

Kevin felt completely overwhelmed.

‘Alicia really knows how to make things worse-dropping this on Dad’s birthday. She’s absolutely ruthless,’ he thought.

Kevin could feel all eyes on them, and he finally spoke up.

“Dad, this isn’t really the best place to talk. Can we go somewhere else?” Kevin said awkwardly,

Leo couldn’t care less about the birthday celebration anymore.

He felt like he’d never been so humiliated in front of everyone in his entire life.

He grabbed the microphone. “I’m really sorry, but I need to deal with some family matters. Feel free to continue without me!”

One of his old friends spoke up, “Go ahead, Hammond. We’ll take care of things here.”

After everything that had just happened, they could totally understand how he was feeling.

But honestly, Hammond really had trouble figuring out how to treat his real daughter and his stepdaughter.

From that video, it was obvious that his stepdaughter Nicole was clearly the favorite in the Hammond family.

And that piano her dad bought at an overseas auction just for her-seriously, talk about flaunting it.

It was pure showing off. Imagine how Alicia, his real daughter, must feel watching all this.

Not only were they old friends with Hammond, they’d also been close with Alicia’s late mother.

They’d watched Alicia grow up.

Back then, Hammond was always showing off about how Alicia made him herbal dishes, and how he was getting healthier thanks to her.

She even went out of her way to make soothing incense for him, so he wouldn’t have insomnia anymore.

It just showed how filial Alicia was to Hammond.

Their own sons had mentioned before that Alicia was super protective of her three brothers.
