Chapter 8
Once I exposed Mr. Wendell, his expression became grim as he avoided my gaze.
He then told me, “Well, I was almost dying. From now on, the company would be yours. They were all your half–brothers. You must treat them well.”
So, the compay would be mine?
I took out a piece of paper, telling him, “Then, won’t you write it down?”
“Erica! How could you force me? I’m your father, didn’t you just listen to me? Besides, I just asked you to be nice to them, was it so difficult?”
I smiled, replying, “It was not impossible before. But it wasn’t possible now.”
I showed him the internet, continuing, “Anyway, Dad, you were famous!”
Now, the whole internet was full of information about my father’s illegitimate children.
Mr. Wendell immediately sat up in shock from his dying illness, uttering, “This … this …
He couldn’t believe it.

I couldn’t help but sighed, telling him, “Dad, you had worked hard to create the image of an excellent entrepreneur for forty years. But your three illegitimate children had ruined it all at once.”
“Look.”
After that, I pointed out the highlights in the report, “Many people were criticizing you for being hypocritical. On the surface, you seemed devoted to Mom and me, your only daughter. Yet, you managed to father three illegitimate sons secretly!”
Then, someone from the local government talked to him. For so many years, my father had been a well–known entrepreneur, which made him very influential in this city. It caused the local government respect him very much. Not only that, but my father often praised the local government.
Since Mr. Wendell’s reputation had gone for good, people weren’t very merciful. Although the tone given by the government wasn’t cruel, what they said was still very hurtful.
“Mr. Wendell, you were not young anymore. You must handle this matter well or it would have a bad impact.”
“We already spent money to make a statue of you. Not only that, but we also plan to give you a lifetime honorary citizen. What did you think we should do about this humiliating revelation?” “You should also think about it carefully. We believed in your ability.”
Under such public scrutiny, my father had no choice but to abandon his illegitimate children.
He immediately issued a formal statement in the name of the company.
[I, Abraham Wendell, have never ever fathered any illegitimate children. If anyone spread rumors, I would pursue all legal responsibilities.]
In order to take care of his ruined reputation, Mr. Wendell had also released a video.
“In the past, those three men had saved my life. Putting them into the company was my way of repaying their kindness. But I would never expect such a thing to happen this badly. It’s really

humiliating for me.”
After that, he just admitted that I was the only daughter
As soon as my father made such statements, I quickly asked the media to make this viral. Not only that, but I also asked them to criticize my half–brothers for being shameless people.
I had no idea where these three people came from. How could they slander Mr. Wendell’s reputation for no reason?]
It was so funny to see how they pretended Mr. Wendell is their father!]
This cyberbullying then continued into real life. When my three illegitimate half–brothers came out, they would get beaten. At one point, they had been beaten to the point of vomiting blood.
When Mr. Wendell had seen his beloved sons like this, he showed his public outrage to the public.
“What were those people doing? How could they beat people? Was it necessary to be so excessive?”
I explained to him, saying, “Well, everyone would marry and have children under legal. Obviously, they would hate children born from affairs.”
That sentence had shut him up.
In fact, I had also contributed to this because I had asked someone to beat them hard. Nevertheless, my inspiration to do this actually came from them. In my last life, they had taken money and bought media to say that I treated them badly and not being a good sister.
At the time, everyone criticized me like crazy.
“Even though the late Mr. Wendell already give you the estate, why were you still so stingy when giving something to your family?”
“That’s right, don’t be so cruel!”
“After all, we were related by blood. How could you be so cruel to your closest relatives?” After that, they managed to play victim that caused them to attract a wave of sympathy. This time, I wanted to let them experience the joy of cyberbullying.
