Chapter 258

Isabella Langley studied Cassandra Valentine with a knowing look. "Cassandra, don't tell me you've actually laid hands on Cassandra Valentine before."

That woman was her personal nemesis.

Every encounter brought nothing but trouble. She had to be eliminated.

"My mother despises the first and third uncles' families the most. Before Cassandra turned eighteen, she was a pushover—anyone could bully her. I tormented her the most, and she's held a grudge ever since. She's been trying to take me down, but she's failed all these years."

Isabella narrowed her eyes. "Murder is illegal. Don't do anything reckless. Deal with Evelyn Roland first. If she marries Sebastian Orlando, she'll come after us. We schemed against her back then just so you could have Julian Roscente. She won't let this go."

Evelyn belonged in the gutter. She didn't deserve a comeback.

"A discarded woman my brother threw away—what can she possibly do? I'll personally speak to Sebastian Orlando and tell him Evelyn is nothing but damaged goods. Would the Orlando family really accept such trash? My mother will also inform Mrs. Orlando."

Cassandra smirked venomously. Mrs. Orlando cared about appearances more than anything.

Evelyn would never set foot in the Orlando household.

Thinking of Mrs. Orlando's notorious temper, Isabella relaxed. With so many people gunning for Evelyn, she could sit back and enjoy the show.

Nearby, Adrian Valentine watched their whispered plotting with cold detachment. As he turned to leave, he sent a message to Victor Ashcroft.

Neither Isabella nor Cassandra realized their conversation had been recorded—and was about to go viral.

Isabella's face was blurred in the leaked audio, but Cassandra's identity was exposed in full.

~The Valentine heiress is pure evil! The Ashcrofts are the real victims here.

~Who's the blurred one? People who hide are even scarier.

~Get over yourself. Are you rich or handsome enough for her to even glance at you?

The internet exploded.

Inside an elevator, Cassandra saw the news and erupted. "Isabella, who did this? Why am I the only one exposed?"

Isabella was equally shocked. The reporter she hired would never dare leak this.

Damn it!

The more mysterious she remained, the harder netizens would dig.

"Get your brother to suppress the热搜."

Cassandra scoffed. "He won't lift a finger for me."

Better to call Mother.

Isabella frowned. What was going on between those siblings?

Cassandra dialed, only to be met with a furious tirade: "You idiot! I just convinced Chairman Roscente last night, and now you pull this stunt?"

"Mom, save the lecture! Get the热搜 taken down first!"
