Sadie always said, “Know yourself and your enemy, and you’ll never lose a battle.”

To keep Natasha from getting bullied, she went to great lengths to dig up all the dirty secrets on the most devoted simps around Olivia.

The whole Lawson family drama was prime material for one of their late–night gossip

In Scrushire, it was always the Snider name that truly carried weight.
