My brother furrowed his brow: “Liane, is it true that you owe money and sold the company?”
I shook my head, about to speak, but then Victor stepped forward from the crowd.
“Liane, no wonder you’ve been slandering me and Erin. Turns out you’ve already betrayed me, yet you still try to turn things around and blame me.”
“Victor, someone like her isn’t worth getting angry over. Even if she’s clinging to a rich man, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s a failure!”
Erin walked up to Victor and nestled in his
arms.
My brother, who had never met Victor. narrowed his eyes and said. “You must be my sister’s husband, right? My sister had a falling out with my dad because of you and this is how you treat her? Seems like you’re

not much to speak of after all.”
Erin immediately defended, “So what if you‘ re Brandon? I won’t allow you to speak like that about Victor!”
My brother’s face darkened even further. I knew his personality. Once he got angry, he could do something very serious.
Moreover, I didn’t want to waste any more time here. I turned to Victor and said, “Victor, let’s get a divorce.”
Upon hearing this, Victor‘ s expression changed slightly. He wanted to say something but, under the gaze of everyone, he said, “The divorce is fine, but you‘ 11 leave with nothing.”
The house was something I built when I first started the company and most of the money came from me. It’s worth four hundred thousand dollars.
In other words, not only did he betray me, but he also wanted to take my property.

But things like this didn’t happen so easily.
“Frank naturally belongs to you, after all, he’s not my son. As for the house, don’t even think about it!”
“You’re good, Liane! You can even come up with such a lame excuse to compete with me for property. If Frank isn’t your son, then whose could he be?”
I sneered coldly. “You know better than anyone whether he’s my son or not. Don’t pretend you don’t know!”
Then, I slapped the paternity test report in front of him.
As he looked at the test results, a flash of avoidance crossed Victor’s eyes and his arrogance finally faded.
Before Victor could speak, my brother interrupted him, saying, “Victor, after all my sister did to defend you back then, it seems you need to learn a lesson.”
Then he turned to me with a sigh. “Liane,

your judgment has really been poor. You’ve been deceived by this kind of man for so many years.”
A bitter feeling welled up inside me. It was all because I loved him too much back
then.
However, now that I had completely seen through him, it’s not too late to turn back.
“Brandon, my store was taken from me through a joint scheme they set up. Contact the legal team of the group now and file a lawsuit against Erin for fraud. Also, prepare a divorce agreement.”
“Got it.” My brother nodded, made a phone call and briefly explained the situation. I had no intention of continuing to look at these two scumbags. They were already repulsive to me.
At that moment, the two of them had already started looking rather unpleasant.
If I had tried to sue Erin on my own before, she would have been confident that I

wouldn’t succeed.
But now, with the power of the Evolv Group behind me, even if she hadn’t taken the
company from me and it was her own business, she wouldn’t be able to keep it.
As I turned around, Victor’s phone rang. It was Frank calling.
“Dad, I saw a sports car today that I really like. Didn’t Erin say she was going to get me a gift? Is she with you?”
Victor quickly said, “Yes, Erin is with me. How much does the sports car you like cost?”
“Not much, just around a hundred
thousand dollars. Erin loves me so much,
she’ll buy it for me, right?”
Victor looked at Erin and said, “Erin, Frank…”
“Shut up.”
