Suddenly, the Sterling Group's official website came under attack.
"How did this happen..." Emily was stunned!
Someone had actually uploaded it to the internet!
Slap!
Melissa slapped Emily hard across the face.
"Look at what you've done! You go out and just humiliate me!" Melissa was genuinely angry.
This scandal was blowing up online, and the Sterling Group would definitely take a hit.
"Boo hoo... Mom, you hit me..." Emily cried heartbrokenly.
This was the first time Melissa had ever hit her; before, she had only been spoiled.
"Mom, stop hitting her. Let Emily explain!" Harrison interceded.
Emily's eyes darted around, and she quickly came up with an idea.
"It... it was like this. I met Claire from the Whelan family at the hotel today. She knew I had returned to the Sterling family and gotten rich, so she demanded I support the Whelans. She wanted me to give Sterling family money to them! I refused, and we argued. I was so angry that I insulted her on purpose. Who knew netizens would take it out of context and post it online? Mom, I really didn't mean to..."
Emily wept, looking pitiful.
Melissa and Thomas softened immediately upon hearing this.
"Emily, I'm sorry. Mom misunderstood you!" Melissa quickly apologized and comforted her daughter.
Thomas said angrily, "That's too much! This must be Elena's influence, still coveting our Sterling family money. She's not even a daughter of our family anymore!"
Melissa’s face turned vicious. "I’m calling her right now. That shameless little wretch! Daring to target the Sterling family!"
Melissa dialed the old number.
Elena was at home when she saw the caller ID. She paused for a moment.
She decided to answer.
