Five Years Wasted Now They Beg Her Back novel Chapter 453

The room contained only a shabby bed and an old computer that was good for little more than browsing the internet.

He opened the computer and skillfully logged into an anonymous account he had registered from overseas.

His fingers hammered the keyboard, his face contorted with sick glee.

“Grace, you think you’ve won?”

“You think you can rest easy just because you’ve latched onto Damien?”

Ten minutes later.

Several top gossip blogs with millions of followers all received the same anonymous email tip at the exact same time.

The subject line was sensational:

[EXCLUSIVE! Genius scientist Grace has a twin sister? Rumored to be illegitimate, the sisters are at each other’s throats!]

And in the email’s attachment was an AI-synthesized—and scarily convincing—“interview recording.”

In the recording, “Lottie Grant’s” voice was laced with tears and anger:

“…I don’t want to talk about her. Yes, she’s my sister, but we are not the same kind of person. While she was living in luxury with the Hart family, did anyone ever ask how I was doing abroad? Now that she’s made it, she destroys the very family that raised her… How could she be so cold-blooded?”

Cassian leaned back in his chair, a sick sense of triumph coursed through his veins as he saw the “Sent” confirmation on the screen.

Rumors always travel faster than the truth.

And this kind of melodrama—full of wealthy family feuds, sibling rivalries, and moral ambiguity—was exactly the kind of trash the mindless online mob loved to consume.

Even though countless rumors had been spread about Grace before, the gossip-hungry public and keyboard warriors never tired of feasting on fresh scandals.

At the Clarke family villa.

Grace was sitting on the rug, singing a nursery rhyme to Gianna.

Lottie Grant sat cross-legged on a nearby sofa, a sketchbook in her lap, sketching the mother and daughter.

“Grace, your profile is absolutely stunning,” Lottie remarked as she drew. “That bone structure… it would be a crime against nature not to capture it.”
