Chapter 40

Nathan Lowell's knuckles turned white as he gripped his phone.

"What the hell is Sophia Laurent up to now?"

Emily Lowell bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly reddened.

"Brother...Mom told me not to say anything...It's my fault for losing control during the live stream..."

"How is this your fault?"

Nathan's expression darkened dangerously.

"Explain. Now."

Emily twisted her fingers nervously, her voice trembling.

"Sophia filed a lawsuit against Mom...The legal notice arrived today."

Nathan shot up from his seat.

"Is she insane? On what grounds?"

He couldn't comprehend how Sophia dared to sue their own mother.

Emily's gaze flickered toward the live stream camera as she spoke softly.

"Remember when Mom forgot her card while shopping...She happened to run into Sophia..."

"Sophia lent her a card...Now she's accusing Mom of unauthorized use."

Emily knew exactly how much Victoria had spent.

Sophia's meager salary couldn't even cover one of Emily's designer bags.

Was this petty sum worth a courtroom battle?

What an embarrassing spectacle.

Just wait until the Valdemars hear about this...

A triumphant glint flashed in Emily's eyes.

Blood relation meant nothing.

Sophia would always remain in her shadow.

Bang!

Nathan slammed his fist on the table.

"Is she out of her mind?"

His entire body shook with rage.

"She's caused nothing but trouble since returning! Now she dares to sue Mom?"

The live stream comments exploded.

What an ungrateful daughter!

Shouldn't children support their parents?

This is clearly intentional humiliation!

How could the Lowells raise such disgrace?

We found her! Her name's Sophia Laurent!

Netizens worked quickly.

Sophia's social media accounts were thoroughly exposed.

So she's the long-lost Lowell daughter...
