The pain on her forehead finally forced Emily Allen to open her eyes; it took her a while to refocus. When she did, she realized she was leaning against her desk.
Having finally remembered what had happened before, Emily slowly got up. She looked around warily, but there was no sign of Ethan Allen.
She staggered downstairs only to find the whole house eerily silent.
An uneasy feeling crept into Emily’s heart as she searched every nook and cranny of the house, but she could not find Ethan Allen or Mia Stewart.
Emily muttered to herself and took out her cell phone.
Gazing at the news on her computer, Zoe Anne exhaled. She had not expected the tumultuous events of the past few days to end this way.
However, to Zoe Anne, it all seemed to be the handiwork of the Thompson and Battleson Family backing Charlotte Thompson.
Regardless of whether Charlotte lost or the Allen family fell, either outcome was just fine with Zoe Anne.
Zoe Anne promptly made a phone call and got straight to the point as soon as the other end picked up, "How’s the investigation I asked for coming along?"
"Miss, I’ve thoroughly investigated what you asked for, and I’ve even uncovered something else," the voice responded.
Zoe Anne was initially disinterested, but her eyes lit up when she heard what was said on the other end of the line.
"Miss, I’m certain beyond doubt; there’s no mistake," the voice assured her.
"Good, very good. Expose the person behind Emily first, then send me the rest of the information," Zoe Anne quickly instructed.
After hanging up the phone, Zoe Anne’s lips curved into a smile.
"Emily, you don’t even look at yourself in the mirror to see what you really are, yet you dare flaunt yourself in front of me."
Zoe Anne had always remembered being replaced by Emily in a certain role, and now that Ethan Allen and Mia Stewart were locked up, it was naturally time for Zoe Anne to give Emily a hand. For original chapters go to novelFirｅ.net
Using the current online public opinion to her advantage, Zoe Anne exposed the benefactor behind Emily directly.
As the saying goes, when the wall falls, everyone pushes. With the Allen family gone, Emily, an actress already infamous, wouldn’t garner any sympathy from the public, let alone from this wealthy benefactor.
Suddenly, this benefactor began to face ridicule online, and netizens even started digging into his background.
But what Zoe Anne didn’t realize was that her actions actually saved Charlotte Thompson a lot of trouble.
Charlotte certainly hadn’t planned to let Emily off; she had already identified the wealthy patron behind her.
Charlotte had intended to step in as a righteous crusader to expose this infamous patron, but before she could, someone else had taken over the task.
Watching the trending topics online, Charlotte couldn’t help but ’like’ the efforts of this unnamed hero.
If Zoe Anne knew, she might just burst with frustration.
Even though the Allen family issues were finally settled, Charlotte didn’t relax. She remembered that Jack Thompson and Chad Thompson were still with the Ross Family.
Charlotte immediately called Adam Ross, planning to tell him she was coming to the Ross residence.
"Are the kids and Mr. Ross at home right now?" she asked while heading towards the garage.
However, Adam’s voice hesitated, "They’re not..."
Charlotte’s stride didn’t falter, but her tone grew somber, "Then where are the kids right now?"
If Mr. Ross had sent the children away on his own, Charlotte would certainly opt to stand against the Ross Family!
There was a pause on the phone before Adam spoke again.
"We’re at the Central Hospital now, Chad is sick."
