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

sessions.

Natasha remembered it clearly, since Sadie had spent half the night roasting Don’s grandpa, Bryant Lawson, with extra enthusiasm.

ride.

hands.

As Bryant started calling the shots, word got out that he already had a bunch of illegitimate kids.

Back in the day, it was Rachel and her father who built up the Snider family’s business empire.

Bryant was just the caretaker who maintained what was already there. Even so, the fortune Rachel left behind was still substantial.

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

Even after Bryant made it to the top, he could never shake off the stigma of being
