Chapter 159
Not far away, an angry voice could be heard. Julia pushed the wheelchair with Zion sitting in it, clearly enraged.
Nina was taken aback. “Dad, how did you get here?”
Meanwhile, Lily believed that targeting Nina would solve everything, but she didn’t expect Zion to show up. When she saw him, her face turned pale. “Zion…”
Zion looked at her sternly. “How dare you bully my daughter. Of course, I had to come! Lily, I always thought you were just a little petty, with some flaws, but I never expected you to be this cruel. You slandered my daughter in front of the media. How could you be so heartless?”
“But, brother… I didn’t…,” Lily tried to explain. “I didn’t slander her. I just said Nina doesn’t respect me as her aunt!”
Zion frowned, refusing to listen to any explanation. “What does Nina’s reputation mean to you? You see it as nothing more than a tool for your own benefit! Since you want everyone to know, then let them know how many unethical things your family has done!”
Lily was now truly scared, crying and begging, “Zion, please don’t be like this. We are family. Your brother’s life is in danger. How can you be so heartless?”
Julia, tired of Lily playing the victim, snapped back, “This is the consequence you must face. Explain everything clearly. My daughter shouldn’t have to carry this burden!”
Once again, the situation shifted. Lily’s family seemed like parasites, constantly draining them. Despite Zion’s best efforts to help them through their hardships as the older brother, they showed no gratitude. Instead, they resorted to slandering his daughter everywhere.
Netizens were completely shocked.
“Wow, what a surprise! It’s unbelievable how shameless these mother and daughter are, taking advantage of others while pretending to be innocent. I can’t believe I was deceived by these two women. Damn it!”
“That’s right! I thought they were weak, but it turns out they were just putting on an act. I hope everything they’ve done backfires on them! We need to expose them and get rid of them. They’re absolutely repulsive!”
“Even though she’s still in college, she’s already resorting to lying. It’s only going to get worse once she enters society. No matter which school she’s from, she should be blacklisted and forgotten about when it comes to finding a job.”
“It’s so unfortunate to see Nina being cyberbullied and receiving all these negative comments. She’s such a brave girl for standing up against it. I really admire her courage. If it were me, I would definitely crumble under the pressure. Thankfully, I’ve never been cyberbullied. May good-hearted people lead peaceful lives!”
“She was clearly doing a good deed, yet she’s being slandered like this. The people who have attacked her should apologize.”
“We can’t make any comments since we don’t know the whole story!”
The tables had turned, and now Lily and her daughter were facing severe criticism.
Nina wasted no time in taking action. As soon as she hung up the phone, she declared, “I’ve already called the police. They’ll be here soon!”
Lily was caught off guard and panicked. She hadn’t expected things to escalate like this. She pleaded, “Nina, please, I know I made a mistake. I shouldn’t have said those things in public. Please, don’t involve the police!”
Nina didn’t believe Lily’s sudden remorse. She only felt a hint of regret now that the situation had turned against her. “If you had known this would happen, why didn’t you think twice before coming? Why didn’t you consider the public opinion I would face when dealing with the media? You didn’t think about any of this, so don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
“We didn’t anticipate this. We came here to beg for help from your husband. Your uncle is desperate, he needs money. That’s why I shamelessly came here. But… yes, someone influenced me!” Lily almost forgot about this important detail. “When we arrived, we encountered a woman. She told me that I wouldn’t be able to see you and that I had come recklessly. Given how coldly you treated me, I believed her. I felt compelled to obey her and slander you. It wasn’t what I truly wanted!”
