"All right, Hazel. I'll take care of it." My father's hearty laughter rang out from the study.With a loud bang, I kicked open the half-closed door.My father froze for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, without even the slightest trace of embarrassment."Stella, you heard us at just the right time." He leaned back in his leather executive chair, speaking as though it were the most natural thing in the world."You majored in design in college. You're not qualified to run a company. Hazel majored in business administration, so let her join the company and help me."I stared at him coldly without saying a word.He picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee before continuing shamelessly, "Hazel's dad gave his life to save mine. I swore at his grave that I'd take good care of Hazel and find her a good husband."He set down his cup and stared straight at me. "Hazel has feelings for Julian now. You're her older sister, so do the right thing and let them be together."Gi

The room fell completely silent.The expressions of the representatives from the partner company immediately darkened. The smile on Hazel's face froze. Then she let out a sharp cry, covered her face with both hands, and ran off the presentation stage in tears.The room descended into chaos.My father was shaking with rage as he roared, "Who did this? Get to the bottom of this!"At that moment, an employee from the project department suddenly stepped forward and pointed straight at me."Mr. Cross, it had to be Stella! When Ms. Crawford opened the PowerPoint to check it this morning, everything was still correct. Stella was the only one who went into the conference room afterward and had access to the flash drive!"Everyone's eyes immediately turned to me.My father's eyes were bloodshot as he stormed over to me. He raised his hand and swung it hard at my face.I reacted quickly and grabbed his wrist. "I didn't change it! I only went to the conference room to get a file that ha

The banquet hall fell eerily still, as though all the air had been sucked out of it.In the deathly silence, Hazel suddenly let out a shrill cry.She scrambled to her feet, pointed at the video playing on the big screen, and trembled from head to toe. "It's fake! It's all fake! Stella, why would you use an AI-generated video to frame me?"She turned and threw herself into Julian's arms, sobbing hysterically. "Julian, you have to believe me. Why would I ever risk the company's interests? Stella must be jealous that I became a director. She made up this evidence because she wanted to ruin me!"Julian held her tightly, his eyes full of sympathy.Then he looked up and glared at me furiously. "Stella, you really are rotten to the core! You'll stoop this low just to drive Hazel out of the company?"My father finally realized what was happening, too.He rushed onto the stage, snatched the will from my hand, and tried to tear it up without even looking at it."What kind of bullshit is

"My dad paid for this with his life, only for the Cross family to torment me for years…"The entire internet exploded immediately after the video went live.In an era when resentment toward the wealthy was running high, Hazel's story struck exactly the right nerve with the public.My social media accounts were instantly flooded with hundreds of thousands of vicious comments and messages.The company's stock hit an all-time low as soon as the market opened.Several major business partners called one after another, demanding to terminate their contracts immediately."Ms. Cross, this is bad!" My assistant came rushing in."Hundreds of influencers and trolls have gathered outside the building. They're holding signs and demanding that you come out and apologize to Hazel!"I walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked down.The area outside the building was packed with people with cameras flashing up and down the street.Lydia was shaking with rage. "That Hazel's such a

"I had no idea he was that badly injured. I thought the money would be enough to cover his treatment…"A deathly silence fell over the room as soon as the video ended.I looked at Hazel, whose face had gone ashen. Then, I parted my lips and spoke slowly, making sure every word landed where it really hurt. "Did you hear that? Your mother took that 10 million dollars. That same mother who ran off with another man."Your father didn't die because his injuries were too severe. He died a slow death because your mother left him without enough money to pay for his ongoing medical treatment. Our family never owed you anything. If anything, your family has been leeching off ours for seven years."The evidence on the giant screen hit everyone like one blow after another, leaving the entire room stunned.The livestream chat froze for a moment before erupting. This time, the tides had turned against Hazel."Holy crap! This is insane. Her own mother ran off with the money and left her father
