Rising From Betrayal Reborn As The Family Outcast (Alicia Delaney) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179

Chapter 179

Jason watched Alicia, her eyes shining, and his own gaze softened with a smile.

“We should be hearing about Mavis’s ex-husband soon,” he said.

Then he asked, “Are you planning to bring him back, just like what Haley’s ex did to her?”

Lately, Alicia had been paying people to track down Mavis’s ex-husband, and Jason had chipped in to help out.

Haley’s ex-husband and son were brought back from overseas.

A few days ago, her son contacted the media, crying as he accused Haley of spending money to trick their whole family into going abroad to work in the mines.

Not only did it end up costing his grandparents their lives, but after he finally escaped from the illegal mine, his mom even tried to lure him into doing scams.

Sure, his dad had made some mistakes, but wasn’t the kid innocent in all this?

But Haley was just too cruel-she dragged her own son down with her.

That was why she ended up being such an ungrateful bastard-after getting help from Alicia’s mom, she turned around and stabbed Alicia in the back.

He was only twenty, but he looked haggard and sunburned, way older than his age-more like a man in his thirties. When he held out his hand, it looked just like a chicken claw-bony, calloused, and weathered.

It was obvious he’d been through a lot over the years.

No one felt sorry for Haley’s ex-husband, but everyone felt bad for her son.

He was just a kid, barely in his teens, and can you believe his own mother sent him off to work in the mines?

She even had people lure her son into scams, basically pushing him off the deep end.

If her son had really gone along with it, a bunch of innocent people would’ve gotten hurt too.

Even her ex-husband’s parents died because of her. Haley really was ruthless-cold-blooded to the core.

Everyone was urging her son to go to the police.

People even flooded Starlight Entertainment’s official X, demanding they give the public an explanation.

Otherwise, they’d be covering for a criminal.

Starlight Entertainment responded right away.

They fired Haley on the spot and hit her with a hefty fine for dragging the company’s name through the mud.

Anyone who joined Starlight, whether as an agent or a star, had to sign a contract with a catch-if you screwed up and cost the company, you’d have to cough up a penalty.

The girls from LUMIA wasted no time posting on X, cutting ties with Haley for good and making it clear they wanted

nothing to do with her.

They insisted they had no clue Haley was behind so many awful things.

They explained that all the beef between them and Alicia was actually set up by Haley from the start.

They had no choice but to do whatever Haley said-otherwise, she’d make their lives hell.

They even went so far as to expose some of Haley’s dirty laundry.

The company had already assigned them a new agent.

But honestly, not many people really bought that they were totally innocent.

All the fame and clout they had before was because Haley was the one who put them on the map.

Haley’s reputation was already in the gutter, so it made sense for them to cut ties. But turning around and throwing her under the bus just made people think they were shady too.

LUMIA’s popularity had already been tanking lately, and this whole mess just made things even worse.

Rumor had it that if they couldn’t keep the group afloat, Starlight Entertainment might just break up LUMIA and let the girls go their separate ways.

People who’d had their opportunities snatched by Haley, along with a bunch of clout-chasers, all jumped at the chance to spill the tea on her shady past.

Thanks to all that, Haley went from being Starlight Entertainment’s top agent to a total pariah-everyone was out for her blood.

Her son actually took everyone’s advice and went to the police, accusing her of child trafficking and neglect.

The police stepped in and started investigating.

Her ex-husband and son even began staking out her apartment complex every day, trying to corner her.

They demanded she compensate them for all the emotional trauma she’d put them through, and cover all the unpaid child support from before he turned eighteen.

Haley was so mad she could’ve gone after them herself-there was no way she’d ever give them a single cent.

Claiming they were there to collect what she owed them, they barged into Haley’s place and just refused to leave.

Haley had always been Starlight’s top agent, always basking in her status and never backing down. But now, her reputation was trashed, and it was hitting her hard.

Her own son had turned on her, and the two people she hated most were now living in her house, driving her up the wall She was about to lose it.

But honestly, no one felt sorry for her.

It was just like they say-there’s always someone nastier to deal with the wicked. Haley totally brought this on herself,

Alicia’s move to expose her true colors was seriously satisfying.

Alicia smiled. “Honestly, I’m really just after one thing from him, that’s all.

ing him come back to harass Mavis is pointless anyway-he was abusive to begin with, so he doesn’t deserve any pary.

“And if he ever tries to bother Mavis, my ex-dad would have someone step in to stop him right away!

Jason asked, curious, “So what exactly are you after?”

Alicia replied. “Nicole’s whole thing with writing secret crush diaries on her private X account? She totally learned that from
