Something felt wrong. Whether it was the strange way that family had been acting or Shannon suddenly moving out, it all pointed to trouble brewing.

What were Henry and his people planning?

Just then. Tess’s phone buzzed with a new message from Lyra.

“Tess, turn on the livestream. Nadine just got out of prison.”

Tess quickly handed Layla over to Bessie, then rushed to her study and opened the computer.

She didn’t even need to type anything. The top story flashed across the screen, marked with a flame icon.

“#Nadine released from prison, claims online rumors are part of someone’s conspiracy!”

Tess’s eyes lingered on the word “someone.” A bad feeling tightened in her chest.

She clicked on the hottest livestream. Nadine’s face filled the screen.

She looked nothing like her old self. Prison had not been kind to her. The once glamorous features were pale and drained of color. Her lips, once painted with luxury–brand lipstick, were cracked and dry.

Tess frowned and turned up the volume. Nadine’s voice rang out, sharp and familiar.

“Even if I would rather not admit it, my mom died in that car crash more than ten years ago! I don’t know who spread those lies to frame me and my adoptive father. But I’ll say this—I’m grateful my foster parents raised me, and I challenge whoever is targeting me to step forward and face me!”

Her eyes burned red, her words sharp and deliberate.

The force of her voice made her look convincing, almost powerful.

A reporter shouted, “Ms. Nadine, do you know who this person is?”

Another turned toward Henry. “Mr. Ember, this is the first time you’re responding to the online scandal. Do you have anything to say?”

“Mrs. Ember, do you believe Nadine?”

In the livestream, the reporters looked like starving wolves. They rushed in with excitement, firing off questions nonstop, as if they wanted to tear a piece of flesh from them.

“I know exactly who it is!” Nadine snapped.

Every microphone pointed to her.

She stared straight into the camera, as if she were looking directly at the person she blamed.

“I know you’re jealous of me. I know you hate me. But you shouldn’t spread lies to slander Dad.

Tess!”

The name exploded through the livestream. In an instant, the frenzy hit its peak.

[Ms. Nadine, you accused the culprit as Ms. Tess–what proof do you have?]

[Mr. Ember, do you believe Tess is behind this?]

[Mrs. Ember, do you trust the online rumors or the people standing beside you?]

Questions came flying from every direction. Microphones were shoved so close it felt like the reporters wanted to stuff them right into their mouths.

Throughout the entire live broadcast, Kylie’s face stayed stiff. From beginning to end, it was Nadine and Henry who did all the talking.

“Everyone, please! Calm down!”

Henry reached for a microphone and pulled it to his mouth.

He was dressed in a suit and tie, hair slicked back with gel. With a small cough, he straightened his back, putting on the image of a confident chairman.

His old, sharp, calculating eyes locked onto the camera.

“Shannon is my wife’s savior. She passed away more than ten years ago. My wife and I do not want to hear any more rumors about her. The internet has twisted her memory into something ugly, so we’ve decided to give her the proper funeral she deserves–better late than never.”

His heavy voice stunned the room. Reporters gasped.
