Chapter 155 Bastard child
Two days later, the news was still dominated by scandals only.
“Rose Aprice pays trolls to slander Mrs. Liliana Smith while cheating on her husband.”
“Jonathan Smith issues lawyer’s letters to protect his wife.”
“Mrs. Liliana is the wife of President Smith.”
“Jonathan Smith had sued and won against people who had slandered his wife for cheating on the night of their wedding.”
“Vivian Stone forces herself on a drugged Jonathan Smith for a school rivalry.”
“Vivian Stone and Rose Aprice collude to ruin Mrs. Liliana Smith.”
“Lydia Aprice is not an Aprice. Daughter of cheating Rose from her first marriage.”
“Rose and Romeo – the parents reunite again. Is divorce and remarriage in the picture?”
“Jonathan Smith sues people for defaming his wife. Is she innocent or is this whitewashing using clout?”
“Stone Group faces bankruptcy as the broken capital chain is confirmed.”
“Is what happened to Stone Group co-incidental or is this President Smith’s retaliation?”
“Mrs. Liliana Smith seems to be getting framed and slandered all the time. What’s her story?”
“Rose Apice released ambiguous photos of Mrs. Liliana, and drugged her and framed her to be with those people. What are the grudges between them?”
The news articles and the internet were rife with speculation.
The netizens had dug up old stories of Liliana being surrounded by four burly men on the day of her wedding on their wedding bed.
But Jonathan had won the lawsuit on defamation on that one, so it was proven that it was a fabricated story.
Lydia had been in limbo since her mother’s scandal came out.
To find out that the pot-bellied man was her father and he was penniless was quite a blow to her ego.
Lester had had a huge row with Rose and had declared that he would be divorcing her.
Lydia did not want them to be separated as it would mean she would lose her reputation as Miss Aprice, and all the privileges that came with it.
Rose was at her wit’s end. Having to hear crap from incompetent Lester and acting demure was not easy. But she had yet to come up with a plan to get out of the mess.
To top it off, Romeo had been unreachable since they were caught in the act.
In the meantime, she was being sued by Jonathan for defaming his wife and children.
Rose could not tell where things went wrong.
‘She had been so careful, so, how could Lester catch them like that?’
‘How could Jonathan sue them publicly so confidently?’
‘Who was trying to get against her and destroy her?’
Rose locked herself up and thought hard about what was going on.
But she could only think of Liliana who had something against her. Perhaps she was the one who had been behind all this and pivoted the topic away from her bastard child.
This thought gave her some solace as she could still drag Liliana down with her.
Thinking of this, Rose felt a little better.
She urged Lydia to continue hyping about Jonatha and Liliana’s messy marriage and Liliana’s bastard children.
Lydia did as she was told, but she did not have her parents’ cunning, only viciousness.
Her plans were easily intercepted and she too was sued.
This created quite a joke as the actual bastard daughter was enjoying her step-father’s fortune and using it to defame others.
Lydia fought against the netizens and trolls making a fool of herself.
People were quick to dig up old news and found out how Lydia had slandered Liliana at the L&L Design’s inauguration as well.
Everyone continued to speculate what had happened as it was getting increasingly clear that Liliana had been framed. While the pictures were real, she was innocent.
A bunch of people began to dig up everything they had on Liliana and everything about the people she had been seen with to find out the truth.
But alas, they could not come up with a reasonable explanation and had to wait for the official announcements.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
