Simone’s smile stiffened on her lips, and with an awkward chuckle, she said, “What’s
wrong with KING?” “Mrs. Macclain, KING is your own flesh and blood. Why did you issue
such a statement?” Harriet frowned deeply. “Why did you have to lie and betray KING?
Have you thought about how heartbroken she would be if she finds out that she was sold
out by the very people she trusted most? ” Simone’s face flushed with a mix of anger and
embarrassment. “This is a family matter, Ms. Harriet, and I don’t think it’s any of your
business.” “Mrs. Macclain, no matter what, KING is your biological daughter. Please, take
down that announcement. Leave some room for you and Estelle to make amends.
Consider this a personal plea from me!” Harriet said earnestly. “If there’s ever anything I
can do for you in the future, Mrs. Macclain, I won’t hesitate to help, even if it costs me

made!” “But why?” Harriet pressed perplexedly. “Do you really hate Estelle that much? Do
you hate her enough to ruin her?” Simone’s face was cold. “She didn’t show us any mercy
when she sided with outsiders against our family. If you want to know why things have
come to this, you might as well ask her yourself!” Seeing Simone’s indifferent and resolute
demeanor, Harriet felt her hope begin to fade. “Is someone else pulling the strings? Did
they offer you something to betray your own daughter? Name your price, and I’ll double
it!” Harriet scoffed. “Ms. Harriet!” Simone snapped, looking visibly irritated. “I’ve told you,
this is our family’s issue. KING’s just a business partner to your company. You have no
right to question us on her behalf!” “Estelle isn’t in J City, and neither is Mr. Lamont. You
picked the perfect time to strike at her, didn’t you?” Harriet’s voice was ice-cold with
disillusionment. “I never would have guessed, and I bet Estelle wouldn’t have either, that
the most lethal blow would come from her own parents.” Simone’s expression turned even
uglier. “Ms. Harriet, I’ve always respected you, but if this is what you came here for, I’m
sorry, you’re not welcome in our home. Please leave!” Harriet’s face was a mask of cool
contempt. “Mrs. Macclain, the path of wrongdoing leads to self-destruction. If there’s any
conscience left in you,
retract that announcement now and tell the truth. But if your conscience has been bought
by money, then forget what I said anyway!” Simone looked disdainful. “You shouldn’t have
come here in the first place!” “I came here because I still had a sliver of hope in
humanity!” Harriet said with contempt. “I hoped that Mrs. Macclain would come to her
senses before it’s too late.” Simone retorted angrily, “You’re in no position to lecture me!”

We’ll see about that!” Simone said with impatience, “Ms. Harriet, don’t let the door hit you
on the way out.” After Harriet left, Carmella looked worried. “Mom, if Estelle manages to
turn things around, could she come after us?” Fuming from the confrontation, Simone
gritted her teeth. “We’ll just have to make sure she can’t!” Ever since Bennett released
that announcement, many reporters had been eager to get an interview, but Bennett had
turned them all away. Simone took the initiative to contact a reporter who had been
closely following KING’s activities and leak to them that Estelle had been troublesome
since her school days in C City by getting into frequent fights and landing classmates in
the hospital. Every time, Simone and Bennett had to beg the principal to let her stay in
school. Read at
