NovelBookThe entire Rivers family was busy preparing for Samantha's birthday party. The second and third son of the
Rivers family, Boone Rivers and Conrad Rivers, had also returned from overseas that very day.
“Boone! Conrad!” Samantha saw the two men walking in through the door and ran toward them with excitement.
Boone opened his arms and caught Samantha with a spoiled smile on his face. “Sammy, we're back. Did you
miss me?” he said, pinching her cheek playfully.
Samantha leaned into his arms like a spoiled child. “Of course | did.”
Conrad reached out and patted her head, then glanced sideways at Sloane, his tone meaningful. “Don’t worry,
Sammy. Now that I'm back, | won't let anyone hurt you again.”
Sloane raised an eyebrow at that. She hadn't forgotten-when she first cback to the Rivers family, Samantha
had a nightmare because she was scared of being sent away. And just because of that, Conrad had thrown her
into a pool even though she couldn't swim. He even had the maids stand by with bamboo poles to beat her if she
tried to climb out.
She had almost died in that pool.
“Well, speople really don’t know their place. A lunatic trying to climb the social ladder? How could she even
dream of marrying into the Hawthorne family?” Boone sneered, his gaze toward Sloane filled with pure hatred.
Sloane's eyes darkened. It was Boone who had cup with the plan to send her to the asylum. Just thinking of
those lightless days locked inside made her fists clenched tight, her nails digging into her palms. The pain only
reminded her more clearly of how cruel these people really were.
“What? Do you think staying quiet will save you?” Boone crossed his arms and looked down on her arrogantly. “If
you know what's good for you, you'll go cancel the engagement with the Hawthorne family and return it to
Sammy.”
Sloane let out a cold laugh. “I don’t steal or lie. I'm not like certain people who can’t produce their own research

Conrad's face instantly turned pale. A flash of panic crossed his eyes before he shouted in rage, “You... You're
talking nonsense!”
Does she know something? No, that’s impossible. Sloane is just a hick from the countryside. She has to be
bluffing. Yes, that must be it.
“Don’t bother with her, Conrad. She's just a madwoman biting whoever she sees.” Boone sneered, glancing at
Sloane with contempt.
“You've got your own house on fire, and you still have tto worry about others?” Sloane’s voice turned icy as
she looked at Boone. “I wonder what your fans would think if they knew what you've been hiding. How would you
survive that as a famous celebrity?”
Boone broke into a cold sweat. “What... What do you know?”
He had gone abroad precisely to escape the fallout of a certain scandal. His agent said everything had been
handled.
So how does Sloane know? And how much does she know?
Seeing Boone and Conrad cornered,
