He Chose Her, But I Inherited His Empire Chapter 07

He Chose Her, But I Inherited His Empire Chapter 07

That night, the interview clip went viral.

The general public pitied Blair and my father.

Those allied with the Ricci family took my father’s words—a relative of the estate staff—as an order.

And they aimed all their malice at me.

Several classmates came forward, claiming they knew the real story.

They said the Ricci family paid to send me to the most expensive private school in the state, that Blair had always been patient with me, that I had been bullying her for years.

[Ungrateful parasite.]

[The Riccis should’ve never taken someone like that in.]

[That necklace looked expensive. An employee’s relative? As if her mother could’ve afforded it.]

[Poor Blair. Having her mother’s keepsake smashed right in front of her.]

[Blair looks so much like Helena. It broke my heart to see her cry.]

[If Helena were still alive, she’d definitely protect her own daughter.]

Helena was my mother.

I stared at that last comment, a heavy weight crushing my chest.

If my mother were still alive, would she protect me?

Would she even recognize me?

Or would she, like my father, choose Blair—the girl who looked more like her?

After all, it was my birthday present that made her leave the estate.

After all, I looked nothing like her.
