They Erased Me, So I Rewrote My Life Chapter 20

They Erased Me, So I Rewrote My Life Chapter 20

I kept my word.

From that day on, I never set foot on any Walton family property again.

And Father, in the end, didn’t dare cut me off.

Mr. Davis had made it clear. The moment they tried to freeze the trust fund I had legally inherited, the whole affair would become a family scandal big enough for *The New York Times*.

For a state senator seeking reelection, that was political suicide.

Without the family drama, my life suddenly became much quieter.

Until one day, Leo grew unusually silent.

We were staking tomatoes at the school farm. The twine in his hands looped over and over, but his mind was obviously elsewhere.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

He hesitated for a long time before taking out his phone and handing it to me.

On the screen was an Instagram voice message.

Sender: Savannah Walton.

I tapped play.

Savannah’s syrupy-sweet voice filled the air.

“Hi, Leo. I’m Savannah, Eliza’s sister. I know you’re a good person, so I wanted to warn you privately. You may not understand that families like ours are very complicated. My sister is actually very fragile and easily influenced. Our whole family loves her, but we’re also very worried about her. We think she needs to be around people who understand her situation better. If you’re willing to leave her, the Walton family can fully fund your education at any university. This is just a small kindness from our family. It would be good for you, and good for my sister, too.”
