More old scandals surfaced online. People dug up how Katrina had hired rough outsiders from outside school to bully her classmates back in high school. They also exposed how the pair acted recklessly, kissing and being intimate openly on campus. Even the fact that neither of them finished high school got revealed to the public.

Nina, who had masterminded all this, sat quietly in front of her computer watching everything unfold.

Their messy past had already caused quite a stir back at Linholt High. Now that all these old secrets were laid bare, their perfect image as a loving couple crumbled completely in front of

everyone.

The comment section was filled with harsh criticism and disdain.

[School is for studying, not fooling around. Disgusting!]

[I know Mrs. Mercer. She pretended to be gentle and quiet back then, yet she bullied other students behind everyone’s back.]

[They broke up and got back together constantly, hung out with shady crowds, and even dropped out before graduation.]

Reading through these remarks, Nina raised her brows and smiled faintly.

Caleb really knew how to stir up public opinion. He had used multiple anonymous accounts to dig up all the old dirt.

People found out Katrina once asked thugs to beat up her former friend Tara. Their passionate public makeouts at school also came to light. Her fake wealthy family background was exposed as well.

Nina could easily picture how frantic and furious Chase must be right now.

Back at the Mercer Villa, a sharp slap echoed through the room.

Cecilia hit Katrina hard across the face.

“You useless girl! If it weren’t for you, our family would never have ended up being the laughingstock of everyone!”

One side of Katrina’s face swelled up instantly, and her ears kept ringing painfully.

Chase stood right beside his mother, making no move to stop her.

“Chase…”

“Don’t call my name!” Chase looked at her with sheer disgust. “I’ve given you a comfortable life all these years. How did you repay me? You vanished without a word on such an important night and left me wide open to all these schemes. The company is now stuck in huge trouble, and it’s all your fault!”

“I never meant for things to turn out this bad. I was just in a bad mood that day. I’m sorry, please forgive me.” Katrina cried and clung tightly to his arm.

Cecilia pushed her away roughly.

“Stay away from my son! Our family would never have fallen this low if not for you. A simple apology fixes nothing. Can you afford to cover the company’s losses?”

She had long grown tired of Katrina. She turned to Chase at once.

“Hurry up and divorce her! I can’t even stand seeing her around.”

“Chase, don’t do this,” Katrina begged desperately.

Yet all love had faded away in Chase’s eyes. “Things have gone too far. We have to split up.”

“No way! You promised me you’d only ever have me. You can’t leave me like this.”

“I’ve had enough of you all these years,” Chase snapped coldly. “I’m filing for divorce, and you won’t get a single penny from our family.”

“Exactly! We’re keeping Wilder too. He can’t grow up living with someone like you. Kick her out right now!”

Chase was unwilling to do it himself, so he called over the household maid. The maid had long been ordered around harshly by Katrina, so she wasted no time dragging her out of the villa.

Katrina was thrown outside wearing house slippers, with no time to grab her own shoes.

“Open the door! I’m Mrs. Mercer. You can’t treat me like this!”

No one paid any attention to her desperate shouts. Inside the house, every cry from outside only made Chase feel more irritated and restless.
