The Real Heiress’s Sharp Words Unveil Her Pain Chapter 07

Chapter 7 Caught on Camera

Everyone froze. Gideon and Noelle looked especially grim. They hadn’t expected me back so

soon.

Gideon quickly scoffed. “The watch was in your room. How can you deny it? Get on ur knees, apologize, and pay me back, or I’m calling the police.”

My parents panicked and grabbed my arm. “This isn’t the time to be stubborn. Apologe first, and we’ll sort out the rest later.”

Noelle crossed her arms, waiting to watch me kneel and finally get her revenge for the past few days.

Instead, I calmly pointed above their heads.

They looked up, confused. Then their faces changed.

A security camera was hidden in a corner of the ceiling.

Gideon and Noelle went ashen. I pulled up the footage. It showed the two of them into my room and planting the watch. I had paid extra for a good camera, and it captured both their faces perfectly.

Caught red-handed, they stammered but couldn’t get out a word. Then they collapsed.

My parents stared in disbelief. Then they glared at the two of them. Alana pointed at Noelle with a shaking hand.

“We raised you all these

all these years, and you teamed up with an outsider to send Carley to prison and scam us out of money! Noelle, you’ve disappointed us so much!”

“No! That’s not what happened!” Noelle was terrified. She dropped to her knees and begged through tears. “I just lost my head. I only wanted to scare her. I never meant to take your money!”

Braxton frowned. “Enough!”

He understood everything now. He looked at her, disappointed. “From now on, you’ll live at school and come home only on weekends. Your allowance is cut in half.”

“No!”

Noelle truly broke down this time. She was the fake daughter, and the only thing she had going for her was the bond she’d built with our parents over the years. That bond was everything to her. If she was away most of the time, I would eventually grow closer to them. And if they cut her allowance too, what would she have left?

She panicked, but no amount of crying helped. This time our parents were set on teaching her

aesson.

Gideon was terrified. He turned to run, but I pinned him against the door.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to report me? I was thinking of pressing charges against you for framing me.”

Now Gideon really panicked. Reputation meant everything to families like his. If I made this public, he’d be finished.

He was out of options. He dropped to his knees and begged. He shook with rage at/having to kneel to me, but he had no choice. He also handed over the million-dollar watch, hoping to settle things quietly.

I took the watch with a satisfied smile and sold it that night.

To make it up to me, my parents agreed to give me a monthly allowance of fifty thousand dollars.

Suddenly I had plenty of money, and I could finally do what I’d wanted for a long time.

But the next day, my eldest sister, Lindsey, who was studying abroad, heard what had happened. She flew home overnight.
