It's my fiancé's grandmother's birthday banquet. My father's adoptive daughter suddenly snatches the gift I've prepared and says loudly, "My adoptive sister is so rude. "She tried to take the gift I prepared for Mrs. Scott Senior and play it off as her own. I'll have my father teach her a lesson when we get home later." The guests start to whisper among themselves and criticize me. In the past, I would've fled. I would never have dared to retaliate. Unfortunately for her, I've been reborn. I swipe the gift from her and throw it onto the floor. "When has my family turned into something for you to brag about? You mentioned having your father teach me a lesson, right? He's just been released from jail after being there for a decade due to theft. Are you going to bring him here?"

Hearing such ridiculous words, I smirked and replied, "Camden, do you think I'm stupid? You've always looked down on me because you knew you weren't truly part of the Scott family."You knew that once your real identity was exposed, you'd lose everything, and you'd have no choice but to rely on me. But your pride couldn't handle being outshone by a woman."You latched onto Nevaeh because you knew about her connection to Don, didn't you?"All three of their faces turned pale upon hearing my words."I don't know what you're talking about," Camden said defensively.I laughed and looked at the three of them."Don Lacey, you're just an incompetent man desperate to climb the social ladder. You agreed to marry into my mother's family but resented it."When you learned your ex-girlfriend had a daughter, you just couldn't wait to bring her in. You worked tirelessly for years to make others believe Nevaeh was my mother's daughter, all so you could steal everything that was mine."These t

I understood that this was my grandfather giving me a chance.After dealing with Don and Camden, he no longer trusted anyone else to take care of me. He would rather place the opportunity directly in my hands. Hence, I readily agreed.Don was the most distraught when he found out about this. He had embezzled a significant amount of money from my grandparents over the years using my name and lived extravagantly.Now, without a place to stay, his credit cards frozen, and with Nevaeh to support, he found himself struggling.He ignored the security guards and barged into the company, shouting insults at me. "You chose a little brat like her? Dad, you must be out of your mind to think she can run the company!"With her in charge, Sacconity will definitely go under!"But instead of gaining sympathy, his outburst was met with a swift elbow strike from a bodyguard, who pinned him to the ground.My grandfather stood beside me, looking down at Don with cold indifference. "Sacconity repres

Hearing this, my grandfather turned to me and asked, "Mag, do you want to see them?"After a moment of thought, I nodded and said, "Since they've come all this way, we might as well settle things. Let them in."Elliot quickly brought them inside at my instruction. The moment they entered, Camden's father, Timothy Scott, struck Camden hard. It sent him tumbling to the ground."Mr. Saccone Senior, this is all my useless son's fault. Mag had to suffer because of a careless mistake yesterday."Why aren't you kneeling down?"With that, Camden reluctantly propped up to his knees, glaring at me with obvious resentment."Mag, I know I was wrong. You've always wanted to marry me, haven't you? Let's set a date and finalize the engagement."But there's one condition. Stop targeting Nev and don't cancel the contract with the Scott family."I couldn't help but laugh when I heard such shameless words. "Camden, who do you think you are? Do you think I'm just dying to marry you?"Camden's exp

Hearing my grandmother's words, I turned to James standing by her side. "Clear out everything from every room and burn it. And as for the staff here, fire them all for dereliction of duty."Hearing this, the gathered household staff immediately panicked."On what grounds?" one of them demanded."We were hired by Mr. and Ms. Lacey! You don't have the authority to dismiss us!""Exactly! Neither Mr. Lacey nor Ms. Lacey has said anything!"I glanced at them, and my tone turned icier as I continued, "The money that pays your salaries comes from the Saccone family's accounts."And do you really need me to dig up evidence for the way you've mistreated me over the years?"As for the things you've taken, I'm willing to let that slide on one condition: help clear out the rooms, or I won't hesitate to report every one of you to the authorities."These servants had long profited from Don and Nevaeh's favoritism, even secretly stealing and selling my belongings over the years.
