Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon

Chapter 180

Paulina felt her world crumbling around her as the truth dawned on her – it was her own daughter, Leila, who had taken the photo that smeared Merry’s reputation. The polite, obedient girl she thought she knew had changed, and Paulina couldn’t come to terms with this harsh new reality

In her desperation to understand why her daughter had changed so drastically, Paulina had believed Leila’s accusation against Latham. She needed a reason to explain her change, so she believed without question that Latham had acted inappropriately towards Leila.

Now, faced with undeniable proof of her daughter’s deceit, Paulina was forced to confront a bitter truth: her daughter was not the victim she’d portrayed herself to be, but the architect of her own sister’s downfall.

Cain was equally stunned. When he first heard Leila’s claims of being harassed and blackmailed into hurting Merry, he felt a sense of relief. His mind refused to accept that his daughter could be capable of such cruelty As a businessman, he was no fool, yet his paternal instincts led him to defend his daughter unconditionally. He even called in the press, hoping to blow the issue up and clear his daughter’s name, not realizing that his actions would backfire spectacularly.

The click of cameras and the relentless flashes from the reporters‘ equipment captured Leila’s downfall, and Cain regretted his earlier decision profoundly.

After being confronted by Paulina, Leila stood up, dropping her facade of meekness. With a chilling calm, she revealed her true colors, “Why did I do it? Because if Mr. Latham hadn’t called Dad, he wouldn’t have doubted. me! Because I was hit in the head by a football from Daniel, and Dad defended him instead of me!”

She pointed an accusing finger at Cain and Paulina, “Look at how kind you are to me now that I’m the ‘victim.’ By slandering Mr. Latham, I regained my place as your beloved daughter, right?”

“Why did everything have to go wrong this year? Why did you stop loving me? Why did I have to have a stepsister? She took away your love from me! If she were gone, I’d be the only one!”

Paulina and Cain were speechless.
