Now that the rumors about Catherine’s cheating had been cleared up online, those who had onceinsulted Catherine had realized the fact. But this wasn’t enough. They hadn’t caught the real mastermindyet.
The timing of the video was perfect. It was taken from a dimly lit area behind the stage with asurveillance camera.
Although the video was a bit blurry and the lighting was low, he could still make out the contents of thevideo.
Most importantly, the person hiding behind the curtain was also captured on video. The video wassomewhat unclear, and it would be hard for anyone who wasn’t familiar with the person to recognize her.
But that outfit was too distinctive, and Ronin recognized her at a glance. He never expected Liana tohave such skills. She had been quite audacious to frame Catherine. Did she really think he was an easytarget?
Ronin forwarded the video to Catherine and waited for Catherine’s reply.
A few minutes later, Catherine responded with just three words, [Up to you!]

She had been dealing with enough headaches recently due to her son’s issues, and Liana’s actions werean unexpected addition.
Korbin’s anger flared up when he saw Liana. He lifted his head and glared at Liana with sharp eyes.“You’ve got the nerve to come back here after all the trouble you’ve caused!”
Liana had always been the pride of the family, and she had never experienced such a situation. Shequickly knelt on the floor. With tears in her eyes, she looked at her father and pitifully pleaded, “Dad,please help me. I’ve been framed by someone. I really have been framed!”
“Framed? Do you mean the video is fake, and someone deliberately impersonated you to frame you?”Korbin questioned her sternly.
He was aware of the conflicts between his two daughters, but they had always been minor, just typicalsquabbles between sisters. Even if it escalated, it was usually resolved with a call to the school.
Korbin didn’t mind those little disputes, but now it had gone public and grown into such a big issue. Theemployees of the Swann Corporation were all aware of this. It tarnished his reputation.
Due to the attacks on Liana, the Swann Corporation’s reputation had been damaged, and it had startedto affect some ongoing projects. This was something Korbin couldn’t tolerate, and what frustrated himeven more was Liana’s foolishness.

Now, he was in a critical phase of his career in Oceanvile. Such news came out. It was absolutelyinfuriating.
Rachael sighed in frustration. While Liana was in the wrong, just the thought of Catherine made Rachaelitch with anger.
“Liana, apologize to your father. You don’t realize that your actions have damaged the company’sprojects!”
Her words sounded like advice, but they were more of a reminder. Liana suddenly understood the reasonfor her father’s intense anger. In her father’s eyes, nothing came before their family’s interests.
He had even sent Catherine to the countryside because he believed that Catherine’s bad luck wouldhinder the Swanns’ progress. Once she realized her father’s priorities, Liana quickly devised a strategyto address the situation.
“Dad, I’ve truly been wronged. The mastermind behind this isn’t me. It’s Emma from the Hazels inOceanvile, the one you met before.”
When Liana mentioned Emma, Korbin momentarily struggled to recall who that was, but as soon as shementioned the Hazels in Oceanvile, he remembered.novelbin
“Why is the Hazels involved again?”
Liana swiftly brought up her Twitter on her phone and handed it to her father. ” Dad, look. This is Emma’suncle. Without the influence of the Hazels in the entertainment industry, how could it have escalated tothis?
“Emma is a fan of a celebrity named Grayson, who has some connection to Catherine. Grayson was oneof the children Grandpa adopted. Emma was jealous of Catherine, and after the photos were accidentallytaken, she exploited it, which led to this situation.
Surprisingly, there was more to the story than Korbin had originally thought. His expression was still grim,but it had softened somewhat compared to before.
Rachael took the opportunity to intercede. She spoke in Liana’s favor and offered many kind words.
“Korbin, Liana is our daughter. Do you really not understand her intentions? There might be amisunderstanding here. I’ve heard that the Hazels have a significant influence on the industry. We can’tlet them throw all this mud at the Swanns.”
Regardless of the situation, Liana was still his daughter, and for the sake of the Swanns’ image, Korbinwas willing to help Liana.
He had groomed his daughter into a young lady from a high-class background, with the hope that oneday she would be able to assist the Swanns. He had a son. His daughter was just another pawn in hisgame.

“Liana, I will help you this time as long as you cooperate. I will deal with the Hazels, but if you ever makea mistake like this again, don’t blame me for disowning you as my daughter!”
Liana knew that Korbin would definitely follow through on his words. The fact that Korbin was willing tohelp was enough for her.
