Chapter 10 Sure enough , after hearing Daniel's confession , Ashley's mother grabbed his collar and screamed hysterically : [ ] " What did you say ? You're not Jackson Reed ? Then who are you ? You're really just a driver ? How could you lie to me ? I got pregnant before marriage and faced so many obstacles to be with you . Now you've made me a laughingstock . I'll kill you ! " [ ] With that , Ashley's mother lunged at Daniel like a madwoman . [ ] Daniel , resigned to his fate , didn't resist . [ ] Ashley was dumbfounded and quickly tried to pull her mother away : There's no n " Mom , we can talk this through . There's no need for violence . " ] ] Ashley's mother was in tears , shouting : [] " I have nothing to say to this liar . What a nightmare ! How did I end up with such a pathetic loser ? " ]] Surprisingly , this comment seemed to trigger Daniel . He slapped her back : [] " What's wrong with being a driver ? Did I ever deprive you of food or clothing ? If you weren't so obsessed with status and luxury , would we be in this mess ? This is your own doing , Vanessa . You have no one else to blame ! " ] Vanessa hadn't expected Daniel to hit her . Red - eyed with rage , she attacked him again . ] The onlookers watched in shocked silence , too afraid to breathe and tried to sneak away . I laughed coldly and blocked their exit : ]] " Where are you all going ? You destroyed my family's Rolls - Royce and the imperial jade bracelet . We need to discuss compensation . " ] " Just so you know , this townhouse has excellent security cameras , much clearer than in most neighborhoods . " [ ] One student stuttered a protest : [ ] " Ashley told us to do it . If you want compensation , ask her . " [ ] I smirked : " You're all college students - are you really that ignorant of the law ? In our legal system , the person who causes damage is liable for compensation . If you don't believe me , consult a lawyer or Google it . " ] Hearing this , everyone's faces fell : [ ] " Olivia , your family is so wealthy . Why persecute a few poor students ? You know we can't afford to pay . Are you trying to ruin our lives ? " ] " Why not convince Mr. Reed to let this go as an act of charity ? We made a mistake we were confused and fell for Ashley's manipulation . " ] Chapter 10 I rolled my eyes , exasperated : ] " You were much more arrogant when you were helping Ashley bully my mom and me . Save your excuses for the police station . I don't have the patience to listen to your justifications . " ]] With that , I took my dad's phone and called the police . [ ] After the police assessment , thirteen students including Ashley were ordered to pay $ 23 million in damages to my family . [ ] Vanessa and Ashley were detained for three months for trespassing and defamation . [ ] When the verdict was announced , everyone was stunned . Paying such a huge amount would require their parents to sell houses and cars - otherwise , they simply couldn't afford it . [ ] If I didn't show leniency , they would certainly try other tactics . ] Sure enough , these students took to social media platforms , distorting facts and spreading rumors that I was using my position as Mr. Reed's daughter to bully them , trying to pressure me into signing a statement of forgiveness . [ ] Left with no choice , I reported them to the police again . ] 100 The result ? They were not only forced to pay compensation but also detained for a month and given disciplinary warnings by the university . [ ] Because of what happened to me , Jackson stopped all donations to the university . [ ] Even the nearly completed swimming pool was demolished overnight . The university president was devastated and tried to apologize . But I couldn't be bothered with him . He had tried to pressure me without investigating the facts . This was his karma . [ ] jackson told me the security guard from the townhouse complex had also been fired . [ ] After all , I had called Jackson " Dad " in front of him multiple times , but he had misinterpreted everything . As the saying goes : a dirty mind sees everything as dirty . ] After the whole affair was settled , I redesigned another dress for my mom . [ ] Jackson also prepared a new anniversary gift for her . ] For me , the greatest happiness is having our family of three together . [ ] However , when more relatives from our hometown came seeking help from Jackson , he became hesitant to take them in . [ ] After all , who could predict if another Daniel Carter might emerge from among them ? ]
