Selina’s words left everyone speechless.
At first, everyone assumed that Angelica and Selina were simply sisters, unaware of Angelica’s true relationship with the Clark Family.
But now that they knew Angelica was Katie’s daughter from another man, completely unrelated to the Clark Family, it made sense that Selina had no obligation to support her with her late mother’s inheritance.
Kicking her out of the Clark household didn’t seem unreasonable after all.
One of the girls finally caught on. "Natalia, why didn’t you explain this earlier?"
"Yeah, you made it sound like Selina was cruelly kicking her own sister out just to get us to turn against her. What a joke—who would willingly be sisters with a homewrecker’s child?"
"Were you trying to use us as pawns?"
Natalia clenched her teeth in frustration, stomped her foot angrily, and ran off in a fury.
...
After class, Selina returned to Sapphire Valley Villa and finally opened Twitter.
Angelica was born before Katie married James—her daughter with another man. But after Katie got involved with James and married into the Clark Family, Angelica changed her last name and moved into the Clark mansion.
That same woman had gone from being an unwanted burden to a dazzling celebrity. And when Selina had returned to the Clark Family, Angelica had made sure to use her status to strike a humiliating blow.
Selina hadn’t even confronted her yet, and now Angelica had taken the initiative to return?
Meanwhile, discussions about the Clark Family on Twitter had completely flipped.
Previously, Katie’s false accusations, Natalia’s shameless homewrecker status, and the scandal of her stealing her sister’s fiancé had made the Clark Family a public disgrace.
But now, Angelica had posted a single tweet that instantly shot to the top of trending topics.
"I rushed back from abroad as soon as I learned about what my mother and sister had done. I know the damage has been done, and I don’t expect forgiveness, but I do hope people won’t judge without knowing the full truth. They may have made mistakes, but they don’t deserve to be condemned."
Attached was a picture: Katie lying weakly in a hospital bed, her wrist wrapped in bandages, with Natalia crying in the background.
Selina chuckled.
Angelica was truly a master of public relations.
She had not only distanced herself from Natalia’s scandal but also subtly hinted that the situation wasn’t as simple as people thought. At the same time, she painted herself as the grieving daughter and even managed to throw Selina under the bus—all in a single tweet. Four wins in one move.
A celebrity with over twenty million followers had terrifying influence. Within half an hour, the post had amassed over a million comments and shares.
"Wait, Angelica’s mom was the so-called homewrecker? I always heard she was a kind woman!"
"What happened to Katie? Selina went too far—no matter what, she didn’t need to push someone to this point!"
"Has anyone else noticed that ever since Selina came back to the Clark Family, everything has been a disaster? Business partners pulled out, her dad’s wedding anniversary turned into a mess, the engagement party got ruined, and the company’s stock plummeted..."
"Now that you mention it... kinda suspicious. Maybe Selina is just a walking curse!"
"She better not lay a hand on Angelica, or I swear I’ll make her regret it!"
"Angelica is a rising superstar with luxury brand deals, and she’s also a genius designer who got into the most prestigious design schools on scholarships. Meanwhile, Selina is just a bumpkin—comparing them is an insult to Angelica."
"The Clark Family raised someone as outstanding as Angelica. I doubt there was ever a homewrecker situation. Selina is probably just making things up because she’s jealous."
As Angelica’s tweet dominated the trending list, Selina’s personal Twitter account had also been dug up.
She scrolled through countless hate-filled DMs, then glanced at her own barely double-digit follower count.
She had already lost the fight in terms of numbers.
"Mrs. Reid is on Twitter?"
The villa’s front door swung open as Logan stepped inside, draping his suit jacket over his arm. His gaze casually swept over her phone screen.
Selina blinked. "Mr. Reid knows about Twitter?"
Logan remained silent for a moment before a teasing smile tugged at his lips. "Mrs. Reid, what exactly do you think of me?"
Did she really see him as some out-of-touch old relic?
Selina caught the implied meaning behind his words, her cheeks flushing slightly. She quickly diverted the conversation. "No, I just thought that someone as successful as you wouldn’t care about things like followers."
Followers?
Logan raised an eyebrow, detecting something in her tone.
"Is Mrs. Reid upset about having too few followers? Should I have Jack manage your account?"
