Chapter 583

Just as Carlene had expected, she didn’t hesitate to throw Dalia’s son under the bus

Dalia’s past scandal at Solstice College had made her a black sheep in the Shepard family. Even when Selena used to accuse lan, she would bring up Dalia’s dirty laundry.

Dalia being fired meant she had become expendable to the Shepard family.

So, the scapegoat this time was her son, without a second thought.

And Dalia had only one son.

She had been planning her revenge against Maja. All because of Maja, everything she had painstakingly built at Solstice College went up in smoke.

But before she could get her act together, her own flesh and blood didn’t think twice about throwing her son into the fire.

The others also tried to convince Dalia not to be so stubborn.

Dalia slumped to the ground, unable to believe these people were her own family.

Now that her status had fallen, she had become an embarrassment they wanted to hide.
