As soon as I woke up, I received a call from my assistant at the company informing me that something had happened.
I went online and found that Kimberly had publicly reported me on the Internet.
I clicked on the video of the report, and Kimberly’s pitiful face appeared on the screen.
“Hello everyone, I’m the whistleblower, Kimberly Scott. Honestly, I really didn’t want to offend Ms. Amelia, but I was forced to speak up because I had no other choice.
“I’m just a girl from a slum, and I really don’t understand why Ms. Amelia has been targeting me so frequently. Even the James Family Sponsorship spot that I had earned through my own abilities was canceled with just a word from her.
“Ms. Amelia, perhaps this money meant nothing to you, but for me, it’s a matter of life and death. If I’ve offended you in any way, you can punish me however you like, but I beg you to understand the struggles of us less fortunate students and not abuse your power!”
Subsequently, Jason and Alex appeared on the screen.
Jason looked guilty as he wiped tears from Kimberly’s face with a tissue.

“I’m sorry, Kimberly. I didn’t realize that Amelia’s possessiveness was so intense. If we hadn’t been kind to you, she wouldn’t have gone this far to hurt you.”
Alex, who was standing beside him, couldn’t contain his anger after hearing this and immediately cut in.
“Jason, we’ve been good to Kimberly because she deserves it. The qualities she has are something Amelia could never attain in her entire life!”
With that, he turned toward the camera.
“Now that everything’s out in the open, there’s no more reason to hide. Amelia, you were the one who acted unjustly first, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!
“In fact, Amelia has always had ulterior motives regarding my brother and me. After my family went bankrupt, she eyen used the sponsorship opportunity to threaten us into moving into the James family.
“My brother and I didn’t want to, but she used the sponsorship opportunity to threaten us and even dragged Kimberly into this. Does such a ruthless person deserve to be the heir of the James family?!”
If it had been just this one video, it might not have caused much of a stir. But the real trouble began when my grandmother shared the video and publicly backed Kimberly.
In the comment section, she furiously scolded me.
“I can’t even imagine that after all these years, I ended up raising such a heartless granddaughter. It would have been better if you had never been born!
“She caused her parents‘ deaths back then, and now she’s out here causing harm to even more innocent people. She’s rotten to the core!‘
“I would rather not have a granddaughter like Amelia. Only a hardworking and determined girl like Kimberly deserves to be the heir of the James family!”
Before I came of age, my grandmother managed the family business. With her role as the caretaker of both the company left by my late parents and her young granddaughter, she had built quite a reputation online.
With her testimony, the netizens were quick to believe her, and soon, I was caught in a
massive wave of online abuse.
[Does having power and influence mean you can do whatever you want? Is there no justice in this world anymore?!]
[It’s hard to believe that someone as outstanding hardworking, and morally upright as Kimberly lost her sponsorship for such a ridiculous reason. The world is truly unjust!]
[Amelia thinks she’s some kind of goddess who is adored by everyone. Honestly, the Clark brothers were right. Why would they choose someone like her when they could be with

someone as amazing as Kimberly?]
Amid the public outcry, even the stock price of the James Corporation took a dive.
Netizens flooded the comments sections of the James Corporation’s social media accounts and demanded my position as heir be revoked.
Some even unearthed details about my school, and many sent emails to the principal as they called for my expulsion due to my immoral actions.
