Lydia never imagined that Jean would record their conversation She stared at Cherise, fury simmering in her eyes.<\/p>\n
Cherise met her gaze calmly. \u201cAre you going to claim the recording is fake? That I somehow doctored it? Don\u2019t forget what I do for a living. Extracting your DNA would be child\u2019s play for me<\/p>\n
\u201cThe bottle of acid in your hand and the traces you left on Jean\u2019s skin? They\u2019ll speak for themselves,\u201d Cherise said.<\/p>\n
As Lydia opened her mouth to argue further, Cora cut her off sharply. \u201cEnough! Apologize to Mrs. Jarrett right now, she commanded. \u201cAnd to Ms. Leach as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
She then turned to Mary, her expression tense but conciliatory. Mary, Lydia must be under a lot of stress. She\u2019s been acting out, doing things completely out of character. Once this party is over, I\u2019ll discipline her properly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her voice softened as she continued, \u201cLydia is too young and obsessed with Truman. When Jean recovers, my husband will personally visit to apologize.\u201d She smiled weakly. \u201cI\u2019m truly sorry for all of this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella took the chance to chime in, her voice trembling.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Jarrett, it\u2019s my fault. I should\u2019ve been watching Lydia more closely. She\u2019d always admired Truman, but when she heard he had someone else in his heart, it broke her. She\u2019s not normally like this, I swear,\u201d Stella said.<\/p>\n
She added, \u201cI spoiled her during our time in Hesperia. She\u2019s grown used to getting her way, and this setback was just too much for her to handle. For something like this to happen at my party\u2026 I can\u2019t excuse myself. It\u2019s all my fault.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise rolled her eyes where no one could see. \u2018Stella really deserves her nickname, The Charmer, she thought. What a move, shifting the blame to Truman while making herself look even more virtuous.\u2019<\/p>\n
Mary\u2019s anger bubbled under the surface as she glanced at Stella. Her heart ached for Jean, but Stella\u2019s teary eyes disarmed her. She looked helplessly toward Cherise and Morris. \u201cCherise, we can\u2019t let this slide, can we?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise said firmly, \u201cMs. Walton, you must come with us. This was an intentional act of harm. Even royalty would face justice for this. You\u2019re just a wealthy young lady. Your privilege doesn\u2019t exempt her from the law.\u201d<\/p>\n
She turned to Morris for support, and his expression left no room for doubt. He was in complete agreement.<\/p>\n
If he had taken matters into his own hands, Lydia would have been in<\/p>\n
big trouble.<\/p>\n
Morris pulled out his phone and made a call. Moments later, Steven arrived with two men, clearly professionals from the Dark Web Division. They moved to detain Lydia.<\/p>\n
Lydia didn\u2019t seem to panic, but she mumbled, \u201cGrandma, Aunt Stella, I don\u2019t want to go! I admit I made a mistake, but I want to stay home. Please, don\u2019t let them take me!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTake her!\u201d Morris ordered coldly.<\/p>\n
Cora\u2019s rage erupted. \u201cDon\u2019t you dare touch her without my consent? If you want her, you\u2019ll have to step over my<\/p>\n
dead body!\u201d<\/p>\n
Her cane struck the ground with force, and several bodyguards emerged from the shadows.<\/p>\n
Cherise and Morris exchanged glances.<\/p>\n
Mary stepped forward. \u201cTake her,\u201d she said, her voice trembling with anger. \u201cIf anything happens, I\u2019ll take full responsibility. It\u2019s time someone put a stop to this nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stella, panicking, tried to intervene. \u201cMom, please stop! We\u2019re in the wrong! Ms. Leach, I beg you, forgive Lydia this time. I<\/p>\n

promise this won\u2019t happen again. We\u2019ll make sure she learns her lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n
But it was too late. Steven and his men had already restrained Lydia.<\/p>\n

Cherise turned to Cora, her tone icy. \u201cI haven\u2019t seen the slightest bit of remorse from Ms. Walton. I don\u2019t believe for a second that this will be the last time. If you can\u2019t discipline her, then someone else will.\u201d<\/p>\n
She stepped closer, her voice dropping. \u201cIf you want to keep fighting this, we can go to the political court. I\u2019m sure you know better than anyone what the consequences of that would be, Mrs. Walton.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cora\u2019s eyes bore into Cherise, the weight of the threat sinking in She knew the severity of Lydia\u2019s actions and what a political court ruling could mean for their family.<\/p>\n
With her husband and son absent, she had no choice. She was well aware of Morris\u2019s background. As the leader of the Dark Web Division, he had every right to take someone into custody<\/p>\n
Gritting her teeth, Cora relented. \u201cLet them take her,\u201d she said bitterly.<\/p>\n
Lydia\u2019s eyes widened as she stared at Cora, but with her pressure point blocked by Cherise, she could offer no resistance as they led her away.<\/p>\n
Morris and Cherise followed behind the group.<\/p>\n
The remaining guests began to disperse, leaving the Walton residence quiet once more. Only Cora and Stella remained in the vast mansion.<\/p>\n
Cora struck her cane against the floor, her voice filled with fury. Inform your father and Tristan immediately,\u201d she barked. Stella hesitated. \u201cMom, Tristan is handling diplomatic work in Astamia. Do we really need to bother him?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cora\u2019s expression hardened. \u201cLydia is his daughter. He needs to know. Now go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Truman had already begun executing his plan as he left the Walton residence.<\/p>\n
Using his industry connections, he flooded social media with posts exposing Lydia\u2019s actions. He even declared that anyone who tried to take them down would be opposing him.<\/p>\n
Hashtags: [Tristan\u2019s Daughter: A Stalker Through and Through.]<\/p>\n

However, his actions sparked an inevitable clash between money and power. Posts were published, deleted, and reposted in an endless cycle.<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t until an anonymous hacker stepped in that the posts finally stuck. In a dimly lit room, the hacker clicked \u201csend\u201d and watched as the stories gained traction.<\/p>\n
With a smirk, they muttered, \u201cJean, I\u2019ve got your back. No one bullies you<\/p>\n
