The Wrong Nepo Baby Chapter 8 More Than a Family Name
One of the officers addressed them both, "Ashton Lyle, Natalie Brooks. We've received complaints of harassment and defamation against both of you. You'll need to come with us."The reporters finally started packing up after the perpetrators had been escorted away. They'd gathered more than enough material for tomorrow's headlines, and their expressions made it clear they couldn't be happier with the results.I watched the last of them leave and let out a weary sigh. The press conference had gone exactly as I'd hoped.What I hadn't expected was what the police uncovered afterward.It turned out that Ashton wasn't just some broke guy pretending to be rich. He was a professional scammer running a planned romance-scam scheme.He'd spent years pretending to be a rich, successful businessman on social media, reaching out to people looking for love or investment opportunities. Once he earned their trust, he'd get their money and disappear without a trace.…By the time the police piece

The woman snatched the USB drive and threw it on the floor, stomping on it until the case broke.I took one look at her and knew my suspicions were right. The person behind Glimmer was none other than Natalie Brooks.Her eyes were bloodshot as she turned to face the crowd. "Hello, everyone. My name is Natalie Brooks. I'm the former HR manager at Lehmann Group, and I'm also the person behind Glimmer."The room erupted as reporters began firing questions at her from every direction."Ms. Brooks, are the allegations in your videos true?""Do you have any evidence to back up your claims?""Did you destroy that USB drive because you're afraid of what it might reveal?""Everything I've said is true!" Natalie shouted over the noise. "But there's something none of you know. Mrs. Lehmann personally chose me to be her future daughter-in-law!"She turned toward me, her face twisted with resentment. "But Nate didn't want me! He deliberately made me believe Ashton was the real heir! He tric

I looked at Natalie, remembering the contempt in her eyes during my interview and how she'd looked down on me despite knowing nothing about me. Then, I thought about all the qualified applicants she'd turned away simply because they weren't wealthy or well-connected.I shook my head. "Natalie, I'm not the one you should be apologizing to. You owe an apology to everyone who lost an opportunity because of you."Still, she wasn't ready to give up."I know I messed up! I'll make it up to you, I swear! I'll do anything you want. Just please, don't fire me from this job—""You lost this job all on your own," I interjected. "Lehmann Group doesn't need an HR manager who accepts bribes and manipulates the hiring process. Plus, we certainly don't need someone who looks down on ordinary applicants."It wasn't until I read the investigation report the night before that I realized just how deep Natalie's misconduct ran. Her so-called policy of hiring only the wealthy was nothing more than a

"I... No... It wasn't... It wasn't me..." Ashton could barely string a coherent sentence together. His whole body shook as he slowly hunched over himself, looking like his legs had given way beneath him.Whispers spread through the banquet hall as everyone tried to make sense of what they had just seen.Natalie sat frozen in her chair, staring at Ashton in disbelief. "What? He's not? He's not the chairman's son?"He suddenly seemed to snap out of his panic. He jumped to his feet and exclaimed, "Mr. Lehmann, this wasn't my idea, I swear! I'm just an intern! How could I possibly pull something like this off?"He pointed at Natalie accusingly. "It was Natalie Brooks, the HR manager! She's the one who changed the name on the appointment letter and told me to go on stage!""What? No! It was Ashton!"She sprang up, her cheeks blazing with fury."Mr. Lehmann, he's been hinting that he's your son ever since he was hired, saying that he's the heir to the Lehmann Group! He kept saying tha
The Wrong Nepo Baby Chapter 4 The Wrong Heir
Ashton practically fled like a bat out of hell into the banquet hall the moment he spotted my parents.I caught my parents' eyes and quietly signaled for them to act like they didn't know me. I only followed Ashton inside once I was sure they got my message.…Meanwhile, Natalie was still at the entrance, enthusiastically singing his praises. "Your son has been working so hard lately! In fact, tonight's celebration is in his honor. We were just talking to him a moment ago."She turned around to look for Ashton, only to find that he'd disappeared when she wasn't looking."Huh? He was right here. Where'd he go?"My mother smiled and gestured toward the banquet hall. "I'm sure we'll see him inside. There's no rush."Natalie seemed satisfied with that and quickly escorted my parents to their seats.I went to find Ashton after I changed out of my wine-stained suit. I finally saw him and Natalie near the stairwell, talking quietly. My curiosity acted up, so I hid and listened."As

Apparently, splitting the bill at dinner last night left a sour taste with the entire team. And so, Ashton had gone from popular to pariah after one night.Soon after, Natalie handed our department its first assignment. We were tasked with promoting a new product.…During our planning meeting, I pitched a scrappy, community-driven marketing strategy. Ashton dismissed it with a wave before I could even finish my sentence. "Do you have any idea how much our product costs? Do you seriously think people in those neighborhoods can afford it?""We wouldn't have to spend much on advertising," I explained calmly. "We just need to put in some effort reaching out to people at the beginning. Then, we could use the funds we save to offer customers a much better price.""Reaching out to people?" Ashton scoffed. "And who's supposed to do all that?"He looked around the room. "Any volunteers?"Everyone immediately lowered their heads. Not a single person spoke up.Ashton turned back to me,
