The Fuller residence was inplete disarray that night.


    Sebastian had summoned the PR team to work overtime, desperately trying to minimize the damage. They worked through the night, attempting to suppress the news and silence the reporters and their affiliated media outlets. But the media wasn''t cooperating. They doubled down, releasing the scandal on every major news tform. By dawn, the entire city was buzzing.


    The fallout was swift and brutal. Fuller Group''s shares plummeted, wiping out 1.5 billion in market value overnight.


    Sebastian staggered home after an exhausting night of damage control, only to hear his parents deep in discussion about how to get Ka out of custody.


    "Are you serious?" Sebastian snapped, his frustration boiling over. "At a time like this, you''re still talking about bailing her out? Do you have any idea how many eyes are watching our family right now?"


    He could already picture the vultures circling the rivalpanies, waiting to exploit the Fuller family''s mistakes and tear them apart. Their shares were already in free fall; any more missteps could ruin thempletely. Dexter, who had been coaxing Myra to take her medication, turned to his son with a weary look. "Do you think I don''t know that? But she''s your sister. Your real sister!"


    "She''s not my sister." Sebastian''s voice was cold, his expression unyielding. "Have you already forgotten the videos fromst night?"


    The first video alone was damning-Ka conspiring with Shawn to eliminate Felicia, the true daughter of the Fuller family. And the audacity of it all? Ka had used the family''s resources to plot against Felicia. Dexter had no retort, and his silence was a testament to the weight of the evidence.


    Myra, pale and frail from the night''s ordeal, coughed lightly before speaking. Her voice wasced with bitterness, "Even if Ka did make a mistake, Felicia could havee to us. She could have sat down with us and worked it out. Why stir up this mess by colluding with Mina and creating such a spectacle?" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    Her tone grew sharper as tears welled up in her eyes. "If Felicia hade to us first, none of this would have happened. We could have resolved it quietly-paid Mina off or ensured there was no evidence in the first ce. But instead, Felicia wanted revenge. She couldn''t tolerate Ka and chose to


    humiliate us!"


    Sebastian was stunned into silence, her words cutting through the room like a knife.


    Myra continued, her voice trembling with regret, "Felicia resents us. She thinks we haven''t done enough to make amends. She hates Ka and can''t ept her as her sister."


    Her tears finally spilled over as she whispered, "I should''ve never brought her back into this house. She was nothing but trouble from the start."


    Sebastian could hardly believe his ears. He suddenly understood why Felicia had acted as she did. She hadn''t confided in their parents because she knew they would protect Ka at all costs, even if it meant turning a blind eye to her crimes. It wasn''t about solving the problem; it was about protecting Ka, no matter the cost.


    ?


    With a deep breath, Sebastian forced his voice to remain calm. "Mom, have you ever considered that it''s not Felicia who couldn''t ept Ka but the other way around? Who was the one who tried to kill Felicia? Who couldn''t tolerate her being here?"


    He fixed her with a piercing look. "Have you forgotten what happened at Grandpa''s house? Ka''s schemes resulted in Roberta''s death instead of Felicia''s. Is that not enough to convince you of who she truly is?" Myra stammered, unable to respond.


    Sebastian pressed on, his tone unrelenting, "Mom, I admit Felicia''s actions were extreme, but the fact remains-Kamitted murder. Are you really going to stand there and try to justify that?"


    "Of course not!" Myra snapped, her voice shaking with emotion.
