Chapter 10
“Everyone online is hurling insults at her, and she’s so upset that she doesn’t wanna eat anything. She’s your sister. How come you feel nothing?”
Nevaeh’s cheek was burning. Kenneth always scolded her, and he sometimes hit her. She was already used to it.
Compared to his slap, Florence’s words, like a sharp knife, stung her more.
“You only care about her reputation. What about me? I’m the victim here!”
Her lips trembled. Finally, she couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into tears.
She had been a sweet, well-behaved daughter for twenty-three years, but they had never given a damn about her. When she said to cut ties with them, they acted indifferently.
Yet now, to clear Sheena’s name, they came all the way here just to corner her.
“How dare you talk back!”
Kenneth raised his hand again, a glint of coldness flashing across his face.
Nevaeh closed her eyes instinctively, bracing for another slap. However, no pain followed.
“Let go of me!”
Kenneth’s angry roar reached Nevaeh’s ears.
Stunned, she opened her eyes, only to see someone grasping Kenneth’s wrist firmly.
A man a head taller than her was standing next to her.
Who was he?
Florence was surprised to see him, too.
Frowning, she said, “Sir, this is family business. It’s got nothing to do with you.”
The man’s tailored suit accentuated his refined demeanor. He chuckled and let go of Kenneth’s wrist.
Then he gave Kenneth his business card.
“Mr. Tomlinson, I’m Ms. Tomlinson’s attorney. My name is Fabian Gould.”
Kenneth took the card.
Then he was stunned.

The man standing in front of him was the rising star of one of the top three law firms in Centemore!
His retainer fee was at least 15 thousand dollars.
How could Nevaeh possibly have the money? He must have been a fake.
Kenneth averted his gaze, tossed the card onto the ground, and said with disdain, “I don’t care who you are.

“Nevaeh is my daughter. She must do as I say.’

Nevaeh immediately said, “That might be true in the past, but not anymore. Mr. Tomlinson, I’ve cut all ties with you and your family. You’re no longer my father.”
Then she turned around to look at Fabian.
She thought, “Presumably, Erasmo sent him here.
“No matter what, getting Kenneth out of here is the most important thing right now.”
At this, she explained to Fabian briefly, “Mr. Gould, you’ve probably seen the trending topic list lately.
“About the affair that’s been topping the list-I am the victim. Ask anyone, and you’ll know I already cut all ties with them at the hospital. And they agreed.”
“You damned girl, Nevaeh. Shut up!”
Kenneth’s face flamed red with anger and embarrassment. How could Nevaeh wash their dirty laundry in public?
“Really?”
Fabian squinted slightly.
Nevaeh nodded. “Of course.”
Fabian nodded and took out his phone to call his subordinate.
Then he said to Kenneth, “Mr. Tomlinson, I will verify the details Ms. Tomlinson has just mentioned. If we have sol- id proof, your current harassment will result in formal legal action. Please keep your distance from her. Should simi- lar things happen again, there will be consequences.”
“You…”
Kenneth was bad-tempered.
He raised his fist and was about to lunge at Fabian, but Florence grabbed his sleeve desperately because a young woman was aiming her phone at them, recording everything.
She whispered in his ear, “With Sheena’s scandal exposed, we can’t afford to see our fallout with Nevaeh grow any bigger. Otherwise, the company’s stock will be seriously affected.”
Kenneth glanced at her and then helplessly waved his fist in the air.
