Anna was skillfully manipulating clueless viewers into cyberbully me.In today’s world,public opinion can kill silently.
“Thank you so much, my fans, for the amazing yacht gifts!”
Comments poured in:

[Dawson&Partners is big.Your sister must be making a fortune, right?]
[School filters out bad students,not bad people.]
[A woman bacoming a top lawyer?She probably used her looks to climb the ladder,lol.]
Anna’s lips curled in a smug smile,quickly masked by fake tear-wiping.
Staring at the vile comments,I stepped to her camera.
“According to Section 246 of the Criminal Code: Publicly insulting or slandering someone by fabricating facts, and if the circumstances are serious, the offender can be sentenced to up to three years in prison, detention, probation, or the deprivation of civil rights.”

“I’ve got screenshots and recordings of everything.Everyone in this chat with a foul mouth,expect a court summons.”
I turned off Anna’s phone and instructed security guards to escort Mom out.
In the blind spot of the stairwell’s camera,I dragged Anna and slapped her seven or eight times.
“You said I beat you?I’m not taking the blame for something I didn’t do.I’ve put up with you long enough.”

In my past life,I’d financed her entire life,her education,job,and even arranged her marriage to a decent man.
She repaid me by pushing me off a roof.
This life,she slandered me,trying to ruin my career.
I slapped her a few more times.
“Sob…Sophia,you’re really hitting me.You never did thisn when we were growing up!”
“Me hitting you?Who saw it?Do you have any proof?Keep blabbing and see what happens.”
“I’ve got proof.Wait for your court summons!”
At the firm,the director threw a contract at my face,and it hit me hard enough to make my nose bleed.
“Sophia,can you keep your family drama out of the firm?This whole mess has gone viral. The contracts that we had already secured are now on hold all because of you."
“You’re capable,but this scandal’s too much damaging.Fix the firm’s reputation and losses,or you’re done in this industry.”
“Sorry,Director.Please give me a week—I’ll handle it.”
I sued Mom and Anna for defamation,along with the worst online trolls.
Court was set for Wednesday.
Waiting,I learned something else.
Aunt Karen had seen Anna's live stream and the reposts by other bloggers on TikTok.
She called me.
“Sophia,you’re a good kid.Thanks to your tutoring,your cousins got into top colleges.We’ve seen how much you’ve done for your mom and Anna.What they did is too far.We'll testify in court about how your mom mistreated you during your childhood.”
She also revealed something else:I wasn’t Margaret Hayes’ biological daughter.Anna was.
