When the Fake Heiress Hurt Me, My Whole Family Felt It Chapter 9
The day before the party, I finally understood what Dad had meant by "the whole place is yours."The entire estate had been closed to outside guests. For a full week, every member of the hotel's staff had been preparing for my party.As we drove through the gates, trucks full of flowers kept arriving. White roses and delicate moth orchids lined the broad stone steps all the way to the main building.A glass-walled pavilion had gone up in the middle of the garden, where workers were raising the last crystal chandeliers into place. Light shimmered through every pane.Mom told me that once night fell and all the lights came on, people would be able to see the pavilion shining from across the lake.I looked up at it all, so overwhelmed I almost forgot to keep walking.Dad reached out to steady me. "You can look all you want tomorrow," he said fondly. "Let's go upstairs and try on your dress."An entire styling team was waiting in my private room upstairs. Three stunning couture gowns hung

Vivian came the following afternoon as arranged. Mom was in the living room, carefully adjusting the bandage on my hand.When the doorbell rang, she didn't jump up to greet Vivian the way she once would have."Hold still. I'm almost done."Mom smoothed down the tape and checked that the edges of the gauze wouldn't rub against my skin. Only then did she look up.Vivian walked into the living room with Paul behind her. Out of habit, she held out her coat the moment she stepped inside."Hang this up."The housekeeper beside her didn't take it. She simply looked toward the neatly arranged suitcases in the entryway."All your personal belongings have been packed."Vivian stopped short, her coat still held out.Beside the cases were her jewelry box and garment bags full of clothes. Even the stuffed toy she used to leave on the couch had been carefully packed in a paper bag.She stared at her belongings for a few seconds, then abruptly turned toward the stairs.Ethan stood at the bottom, bloc

The next day, Ethan helped me organize all the video evidence. We sent it to the team handling our public response, along with the photos from when Mom gave me the ring.The footage left no room for doubt. Every word I'd said, every moment of Vivian grinding her shoe into my hand. It was all there.People who'd spread the theft rumors quietly deleted their posts. Many apologized to me privately. Others tried to avoid consequences by going through mutual contacts to reach Dad and beg him to let it go.Dad's expression didn't change as he ended each call.Then he turned to me, his voice gentle but firm. "Just rest and get better. You don't need to worry about any of this."Two weeks later, our lawyer, Paul Mercer, told us Vivian had been released pending trial. She wanted to meet with us, hoping I'd sign a letter saying I forgave her and asking the judge to give her a lighter sentence.Mom frowned immediately. Her answer was firm. "Nora isn't seeing her."I set down my glass of water and

After four days under observation in the hospital, I was discharged and finally came home. My head and stomach injuries were stabilizing, and the chest tightness and trouble breathing from the pool incident were easing. But the cut on my right arm hadn't healed yet, and my left hand was still swollen. Lifting it hurt.Mom carefully changed my dressing. Leo brought two full plates of my favorite treats and set them on the table in front of me. Ethan reminded him to put them within easy reach so I wouldn't strain my arm.I'd just picked up a treat when a video from Lucy shattered the peace."Someone edited the videos from that day and posted them online. People have the whole story backward."I opened the video. It had been cut together to show only me refusing to serve drinks and pushing someone, followed by the humiliating shot of frosting all over my head.Every cruel thing Vivian had said and done to humiliate me was gone. Instead, her voice played over the footage, making her sound

I broke into another fit of violent coughing. All four of them swayed at once and doubled over, choking and gasping just as I was.Vivian stumbled backward in fright and knocked over a chair. She looked back and forth between me and our injured parents and brothers. Trembling, she tried to speak, but nothing came out."Nora!" Mom ran toward the pool, nearly sobbing with panic at the sight of me.I tried to answer, but couldn't stop coughing. My chest felt ready to burst. Leo moved to jump in after me, then nearly collapsed. Ethan caught him."Don't move!" Ethan told him firmly. He turned to Ben Davis, our driver, and the security guards. "Help the lifeguard get Nora out. We'll stay clear. Be careful with her."At last, Vivian panicked. She clutched Dad's arm and babbled excuses. "Dad, I didn't know this would happen! I didn't know you'd feel it, too! Tell them to stop filming. Get everyone else out of here!"Dad pried her hand off his arm. He looked at her coldly, without a trace of hi

I heard people running outside the passage. Gripping the poolside railing, I hauled myself up and used what strength I had left to call for help.Before anyone could reach me, Vivian came over and seized my collar. Her grip was so tight I thought she'd break my neck."Wash the blood off your face. Stop embarrassing everyone." She dragged me toward the pool. "Who'd want you in their family looking like that?""I'm not going! Let go!" I clung to the railing with my right hand and fought to stay away from the water. My left hand was useless, and the strain tore at the cut on my forearm, making it hurt even more.Amber checked her messages. One of the girls watching asked quietly, "Did you send it to the group already?"I heard their snide little laughs. They were all against me. I had no one. Amber lifted her phone again, determined to catch every second of my suffering.There was nowhere to go. I couldn't breathe. At last, I had to let go of the railing. Vivian shoved me hard, and I fell
