Paul replied, "Of course, it's justified. After all, your friends must be more important than your parents. Because

achieve the company's current success. With just one action
Nora was stunned. Not long ago, she was thrilled about securing an investment for Paul, but now, her family's
business is in ruins.
She shook her head in disbelief. She said, "It's impossible, Dad. Our family business is a small to medium
enterprise, and we've been expanding over the past couple of years. How could we go bankrupt so quickly?"
Nora couldn't believe anyone had bankrupted their company in just two hours.
Paul was troubled. He seemed deflated as if he had aged ten years in an instant. He said, "I also find it absurd.
My 20 years of hard work were wiped out in two hours. Easton and the Spencer family have made their move,
too." He looked at Nora and asked, "Are you satisfied with this outcome?"
Nora was in shock, trembling as she looked at the tears on his face, unsure what to do.
At that moment, Nora's mother, Mia, rushed in and slapped Nora hard across the face.
Nora was jolted back to reality by the slap. She looked at tearful Mia and shouted in disbelief, "Mom, you hit me.
You've never hitbefore."
Mia was very beautiful, and even as she got older, she retained her charm. Her slim and fragile figure seemed
even weaker as she stood there angrily.
She laughed and cried as she said, "Nora, does Jennifer treat you so well that you'd clear her nand lead to
the downfall of our Lewis family?

mother is a mistress. Natalie was abandoned by her own father.
"Jennifer is eager for you to vouch for her and clear her name, uing you like a tool. Don't you understand? She's
just trying to repair her reputation by defaming Natalie.
"How can you be so clueless? The family is bankrupt now, and we even have to mortgage this house to pay off
debts. How can you be so foolish?"
Mia sobbed, leaning on Paul's dad. She said to Paul, "Honey, let's pack our things for now. As for Nora, let's send
her abroad. If she doesn't want to go, | won't care about her anymore. "She's just bad to the core. How did | end
up with such a terrible laughter? I've discovered sof the things she did with Jennifer in secret. Having a
daughter like this is terrifying"
Mia felt a mix of regret and guilt but mostly anger because she couldn't keep Nora from being led astray by bad
influences.
Mia and Paul went back to their room to pack their things.
Nora slumped to the ground, feeling like her world had collapsed. She thought, 'How does my family suddenly go
bankrupt? What's so special about Natalie?"
Her phone suddenly buzzed. She picked it up and saw it was a text from an unknown number.
The message said: [Since you've chosen to be Jennifer's lackey, you'd better have the courage to face the
consequences.] Nora shouted, "No, that's impossible." She quickly stood up but was so nervous that her legs
gave out, and she fell back down. She needed to find Jennifer to ask about Natalie and Murray's relationship.
Why would Murray target her family? Her hands trembled as she picked up her phone to call Jennifer.
"What's up, Nora?" Jennifer asked with a laugh.

With a shaky voice, Nora said, "Jennifer, | need to ask you something. Is it true that Natalie bullied and schemed
against you?"
"Yeah, that's right. Why do you ask?" Jennifer replied, pretending to be innocent.
Hearing Jennifer's confident tone, Nora still felt lost. She said, "Jennifer, help me. | need to see Murray and
Easton. How could they crush my family's company because of Natalie and leave us bankrupt?
"| liked Murray so much and even suggested to my parents that we join our families. Why would he crush my
family for Natalie, making us bankrupt? Jennifer, | ruined my family to help you. Did you know that?" Jennifer was
shocked. She asked, "Did your family went bankrupt?"
Nora cried, "Yes, we went bankrupt. We have to mortgage our house. My parents think I'm malicious, blaming me
for the bankruptcy because | tried to clear your name.
"Jennifer, present the evidence to prove Natalie wrong and clear your name. Show that | wasn't mistaken so our
family can recover, Jennifer."
Jennifer scoffed, "Nora, since it's the Spencer family that's intervened, just accept it because | can't help you.
Natalie and Murray have always been on good terms. There's nothing | can do to help you." Nora was startled,
her eyes widening. She said, "Jennifer, have you been usingall along, treatinglike a tool?"
Jennifer was at a loss for words. She replied, "Néra, | never used you. | just shared my grievances with you, and
you voluntarily decided to clear my name. Plus, I've never done those things; it was all Natalie. I'm not to
blame." Chapter

Nora suddenly snapped out of it. Jennifer was utterly shameless
She now realized that Jennifer never asked her to do anything; it was her wishful thinking to help clear Jennifer's
name. She had gotten herself involved by her own decision.
When things went wrong, Jennifer could walk away unscathed, while she would be the one to suffer the
consequences.
Nora couldn't hear what Jennifer was saying as her body fell to the ground, unmoving.
