Chapter 10
The event organizers were already furious, and all the security guards rushed over. “You two, you don’t have invitations, using false identities to break in, and you still have no shame? Now please get out immediately, or we’ll have to use force.”
Alex was about to rush over and beg again, but my bodyguard slapped him away.
Elena panicked and hid to one side. Seeing the situation was bad, she actually slipped away by herself.
When Alex was dragged out by security, one could still hear the “siblings” blaming each other and arguing loudly outside the door.
Everything that happened at the gala was secretly recorded by the staff.
Since this was a major business forum and gala held once every three years with great influence, Alex and Elena immediately became “celebrities“.
Soon, busybodies dug up Elena’s identity.
Suddenly, the entire internet was in an uproar.
“So Elena is the Caldwell family’s adopted daughter, and she’s technically siblings with Alex.”
“But at the gala, Elena was hugging her brother, calling him ‘honey‘ over and over…”
“Wow, that’s scandalous!”

Nowadays, people love to gossip online.
And they love digging deep into gossip.
Before long, Elena’s affairs abroad were all dug up.

“Oh my God, Elena’s video from some party abroad has been exposed, the link is… come watch!”
“What, that wild?”
“Because of this, she couldn’t make it abroad anymore, so she came back home, right?”
Soon, Elena’s videos became unavailable.
Not because the Caldwell family had great power, but because the videos were indeed too scandalous to be posted online.
I thought things would end there.
But a few days later, even more shocking news about the Caldwell family was exposed.
“Elena is actually Margaret’s biological daughter.”
“Margaret was already expecting with her illegitimate daughter before marrying into the Caldwell family.”
“On the contrary, Alex is the one who was adopted by the Caldwell family.”
“So who’s the real heir to the Caldwell Group?”
The Caldwell Group’s business had long been operating at a loss, with assets shrinking by ninety percent.

“But they still had deep pockets–the Caldwell family still had about thirty to fifty million dollars in guaranteed assets.”

Now, for this inheritance of thirty to fifty million dollars, Elena Caldwell and Alex Caldwell had actually turned against each other.
Alex claimed he was the Caldwell family heir.
But Margaret declared that her biological daughter Elena was the true Caldwell bloodline.
Betty collected and organized all this news for me to see.
She said with some emotion, “Now I understand why Margaret protected that adopted daughter so much–turns out she was the biological one.”
I smiled and put down the tablet PC.
The Caldwell family gossip exploded online every day.
Especially after they started fighting over the inheritance, it entered full public binge–watching mode.
But I found it pathetic and ridiculous, so I went abroad for a trip to clear my mind.
When I returned six months later, Betty, who picked me up at the airport,
handed me the latest gossip.
In the news video, Alex was huddled in a dog house made of iron bars, wearing four dog chains.
The report below was also brief.
It turned out that Margaret and Elena, in order to get the inheritance, had secretly drugged Alex unconscious, locked him in the basement, and announced to the public that he had gone missing.

But the truth was quickly exposed. Margaret and Elena were arrested and severely punished by law.
As for Alex, he had already gone insane and could never recover.
I threw down the report and suddenly felt that the villa I was living in was very unlucky.
“Betty, let’s go home and pack!
“We’re moving to a new place…”
Betty smiled. “Yes, Ms. Harrell.”
