Chapter 39

"Let's get one thing straight first—this is just casual conversation." Emily Lowell raised a finger to the camera, her eyes pleading. "Please don't disturb my sister."

The live comments exploded instantly.

Don't worry Emily, we promise not to bother her.

We just feel bad for you and want to know what happened.

Emily sighed softly, her eyes turning red.

"My sister sued our mother to reclaim the money spent over the past two years..."

She bit her lower lip, voice trembling.

"The money isn't the issue. But her actions humiliated Mom in social circles. These days Mom can't even eat properly. It breaks my heart..."

The stream went wild.

OMG! Suing her own mother?

What kind of monster does that?

Even a dog would show more gratitude!

Girls, I found her social media—let's go teach her a lesson!

Emily lowered her head to hide a smirk, then looked up with feigned panic.

"Stop! You promised me!"

She stomped her foot anxiously, tears welling up.

"I shouldn't have said anything..."

The door suddenly swung open.

Nathan Lowell entered carrying a fruit platter, frowning at his sister's distress.

"Emily, what's wrong?"

She clung to his sleeve like a lifeline.

"Fourth Brother, I messed up..."

Nathan ruffled her hair affectionately.

"Big brother's here. Nothing can hurt you."

The comments section erupted.

Aww Nathan's so protective!

Why can't I have a brother like this?

Emily sniffled pitifully, pointing at her phone.

"I shouldn't have said anything..."

Nathan took the phone, scanning the rapid-fire comments.

"What happened?"

Fans rushed to explain.

Not Emily's fault!

That ungrateful witch deserves to be exposed!

Nathan's expression darkened as he scrolled.

"Someone explain properly."

One comment stood out:

Your biological sister sued Mrs. Lowell!
