Shattered Rose He Held On Tight novel Chapter 78

Fabio’s gut told him to keep quiet.

Lydia quickly jumped in. “Claudia, just drop it. Fabio is being biased. I’ll scold him later.”

What a joke. She didn’t speak up when I was the one being cursed at.

Claudia glanced at Fabio, still glaring like he was convinced she’d done something shady. She just smiled sweetly, her eyes sparkling.

She turned to reassure the girls who had stood up for her. “It’s fine. Guys from families that rely on women to get ahead often end up twisted and narrow–minded.”

Proving herself was always a last resort. If she wanted to win, she had to strike where it would

hurt the most.

Sure enough, Fabio, who had been making a scene just moments ago, suddenly went silent. His face turned bright red.

Claudia tilted her head, smiling sweetly. “Am I right, Fabio Zeller?”

Fabio’s eyes

widened in panic. “How … how do you know?”

The other girls squealed quietly, clutching each other’s hands. Their eyes sparkled like they’d just gotten the juiciest gossip, staring at Claudia as if she was about to drop a bomb.

They didn’t even bother calling her “Ms. Lancaster” anymore.

“Claudia, why’d you call him Fabio Zeller?”

Even Lydia stared in disbelief.

The Lamberts had some money, but they were originally from Altrix City. They’d only moved to Liberty City a few years ago.

Most people didn’t know their history, so of course, they had no idea the Lamberts had once been the Zellers.

Whitney always said, “Know your enemy, and you’ll never lose.”

To make sure Claudia wouldn’t get bullied, Whitney dug up every secret about Lydia’s so–called loyal fanboys. It took many efforts, but she got everything.

The Lamberts‘ drama became perfect material for late–night girl talks.

Chapter 78 They Rely on Women

Finished

Whitney had been going off on Fabio’s grandfather for half the night, so Claudia remembered every single detail.

Back then, Anthony Lambert, the current head, had married Vanessa Zeller, the only daughter of the Zellers.

While Vanessa was alive, Anthony was praised as the ideal husband, quietly handling everything

behind the scenes.

She appreciated his efforts and helped boost the Lamberts, and the whole family benefited from it.

When Vanessa got cancer in her 40s, she handed over her family business to Anthony.

Once he took charge, rumors started flying about him having multiple illegitimate children.

Thankfully, the Zellers still had some veteran members keeping things in check, so Anthony couldn’t go too far.

Both sides kept each other balanced. The bottom line was that Anthony couldn’t rename the Zeller Group to Lambert Group.
