FreeNovelChapter 318 In the cozy living room of the Myers family, snowflakes danced outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, quietly laying a thin blanket of white on the ground. Despite the warmth from the heating inside, a chill ran down my spine under Susan's icy gaze.
They had dug into my past, even uncovering the life I had led before moving to RiverCity. They went as far as lockingin a storage room and cutting off the power, all to deal with me, the ex-wife, with such elaborate schemes.

Last time, it was a mix of threats and temptations. What would it be this time? "The first dress your startup released was a total disaster, Susan sneered, "Do you think your company can survive this? Why not go abroad and take a few years to further your studies? I'll cover the expenses.” Clenching my fist, I recalled Bryant's words in the Myers Mansion, echoing the similar sentiment of sendingabroad. Everyone seemed to wantgone.
Susan continued, "But before you go, you must issue a public apology on social media, admitting you intentionally caused Dorothy to have a wardrobe malfunction in public!" "And if I refuse?"

"That's right!" Having changed her clothes, Dorothy stormed down the stairs, seething. "It was you, makingthe laughing stock and tarnishing the Myers family's reputation.” I endured the pain. "I have evidence." Unfolding my hand, I revealed a piece of scrap fabric from Dorothy's dress.
Susan glanced at it dismissively. "And what's this supposed to be?" "Ms. Myers, you should recognize it." I raised the fabric toward Dorothy. "After all, you cut it yourself. The cut is too clean." Being part of a high society like the Myers family usually meant others could only aspire to reach their level. Despite Dorothy's notorious temperament, no one dared to embarrass the Myers family in such a manner.
Most importantly, not many would have handled this dress, making it easier to trace back. It was unlikely for anyone to risk implicating the entire family in such a foolish act. After much thought, it could only have been Dorothy herself.
