I Took the Money and the Quadruplets Chapter 21

I Took the Money and the Quadruplets Chapter 21

I had thought the CNBC interview would be the climax of his campaign to win me back.

I had underestimated Cassidy’s capacity for malice.

After Liam’s public transformation from aloof Texas heir to the internet’s favorite “devoted ex-husband,” Cassidy completely unraveled.

She directed all her venom at me.

The next day, a dozen gossip sites simultaneously published a series of scathing articles.

They questioned the timing of my pregnancy, painting it as a calculated, last-ditch power play.

They insinuated that I had been unfaithful during my marriage, even daring to suggest that the four children might not be Liam’s.

Other articles depicted me as a cold, calculating femme fatale who had leveraged twenty million dollars and four unborn babies to hold a business empire hostage.

The words were vile.

Every sentence was crafted to portray me as a dangerous, greedy interloper.

A cold chill washed over me as I read.

My mother threw her tablet onto the sofa in disgust and grabbed her phone to call her legal team.

“I will make them pay for this.”

“Wait,” I said, stopping her. “Let’s be strategic. The law will be more effective.”

I was about to call David, but Liam had already moved.

By the next morning, every single slanderous article had vanished from the internet.

It was as if they had never existed.

In their place was a new, much bigger story.

The Wall Street Journal had received an anonymous tip, complete with a trove of documents, exposing years of financial fraud at Cassidy’s family company.
