Chapter 60
“This report reveals what Isabelle Anderson actually said and did, and exposes who orchestrated the online harassment campaign and why. The facts are disturbing, but they’re
undeniable.”
“We’re here to report the truth, not pass judgment. We’ll let the evidence speak for itself.”
The shockwaves were just beginning to spread.
Isabelle’s vicious true nature, Damian’s potential involvement with both sisters, and Isabelle’s act of pushing Sophia during that assassination attempt…
A truth completely opposite to the version that had initially circulated online was now laid bare before the public in all its bloody reality.
The scales of public opinion tilted completely in that moment.
All the previous abuse and attacks directed at Sophia now boomeranged with crushing force toward Isabelle.
Phones started ringing off the hook at the Hall estate, Anderson Manor, and the Fitzgerald home.
After watching the news report, Daniel erupted in fury at home.

He hastily hung up on several concerned or probing calls from old associates, his chest heaving violently as he cursed Damian. as an “ungrateful son” who had “completely lost his mind.”
Damian’s previous rumors about Isabelle were one thing, but now it had escalated to framing his own wife and abandoning her in her hour of need.
Even worse, his own sister had aired all their dirty laundry for the entire nation to see!
He placed a call, demanding that Damian return to the family estate immediately to explain himself.
When the call connected, Damian’s voice carried a detached
calm, even irritation:
“Dad, I can’t leave right now. Isabelle saw the news and she’s having a breakdown. She won’t stop crying-I can’t leave her alone.”
He hung up without another word.
“That bastard!”
Daniel’s vision went black with rage. He grabbed an antique vase from nearby and hurled it to the floor, expensive porcelain fragments scattering everywhere. Clutching his chest as his 2/6

blood pressure spiked, he nearly fainted.
At Anderson Manor, Michael stared at the television in equal shock, speechless.
He’d assumed it was just typical sibling rivalry, never imagining it would escalate to such a disgraceful spectacle, making them the laughingstock of the entire nation.
He’d always thought Sophia was resilient and independent. When she was being cyberbullied, though it damaged his reputation, he hadn’t been too concerned.
But now his pampered, willful Isabelle was being condemned by thousands, called a “venomous snake,” a “murderer,” “evil and despicable.”
He and Rhea were being dragged through the mud alongside her, labeled “cheating husband and homewrecker,” “child abusers,” “inhuman monsters.”
His whole body trembled with rage. They say you shouldn’t air dirty laundry in public.
But his eldest daughter had done exactly that-and aired it for the entire country to see.
Michael wanted nothing more than to drag Sophia back and beat bosenseless while screaming about “family disgrace.”

But he knew exactly why Sophia had gone to Bella for this report –she was leveraging the Hall family’s power.
Unless the Hall family intervened themselves, no one could
touch that broadcast.
His phone rang constantly. His father was sending people to ask questions, while his brother Wesley kept sending messages, clearly enjoying the drama.
Rhea was sobbing hysterically, claiming how “innocent” she was and not understanding why Sophia would “frame” her and her daughter.
In the chaos, Michael’s resentment toward Sophia reached its peak. She was truly too reckless.
For the first time, he regretted making her CEO of Zenith Corporation.
Once this storm passed, he would use his position as majority shareholder to call a board meeting and remove her from office.
In the hospital room, after watching the report, Isabelle suddenly remembered yesterday’s scene of Sophia with her phone. She hadn’t been reading news at all-she’d been recording.

Overwhelming terror made her lose control instantly, smashing everything in the room.
Only when she heard Damian’s footsteps approaching did she hastily compose herself, putting on that tear-streaked, pitiful expression.
The moment Damian pushed open the door, Isabelle threw herself at his legs, sobbing as she desperately explained:
“Damian! I didn’t do any of those things! Those words-my sister deliberately provoked me, tricked me into saying them! How could I possibly hurt my own sister?
“I was just… just so jealous of her! Since childhood, she’s had everything. When Mom and I were struggling in that rough neighborhood, she was already a princess with everyone revolving around her!
“Later, when I came back to Anderson Manor, everyone compared me to her. She was better than me at everything. Even Connor has been obsessing over her all these years, never even touching me. I was so scared, so afraid she’d steal him away
too!”
At this point, she lifted her tear-filled eyes, carefully bringing up the past:

get close to him, you recognized me but didn’t stop me. Damian, you were afraid too, weren’t you? Afraid they’d rekindle their old flame.”
