Chapter 290

If Noelle could hack into so many phones, Samantha was certain that the former had the skills to do the same to hers. The misery she suffered was all because Noelle exposed those videos and pictures as evidence.

"You're currently on bail, Samantha. Stop causing trouble. Laura is in talks with the Greenes about an engagement. It'll be called off if you create a scandal or end up in jail," Ruth warned.

Samantha couldn't bring herself to swallow the humiliation. She'd always lived a smooth and privileged life, and now that she was being brought down by a country bumpkin, she'd never let it slide.
