    Cam immediately called Erica to ask if she was behind the incident. Erica burst intoughter. “Not


    me, but she totally deserved it! Haha, karma hits fast, doesn’t it?”


    “If it wasn’t you, then it must really be their own fault, Cam said.


    “Exactly, it’s karma! It’s so satisfying. I’d thank that tattooed guy in person if I met him. Can you


    believe he didn’t even take the ten thousand bucks? What a hero!”


    Cam hummed in agreement, “Under the Food Safety Act, they’d only be liable for a thousand


    dors inpensation. Not taking ten thousand is really suspicious.”


    “Don’t overthink it. Just consider it divine intervention sending down a vignte.”


    After hanging up, Cam called Cole. “I know the owner of that diner. She opened it there just to


    spite me. I have no clue about the cockroach incident, but she’ll definitely me me. I’m worried


    she might retaliate against my mom. Please keep an eye out, Cole, and don’t mention this to Mom. I


    don’t want her to worry.”


    Cam exined the situation. After her mom, Cole was the most trustworthy person.


    “So that’s what was going on. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure your mom is safe,” Cole reassured her,


    patting his chest.


    Thanks, Cole.”


    “Let’s skip the formalities.”


    Rubbing her temples, Cam was genuinely worried that Tabitha might take vengeance on her


    mom.


    Indeed, Tabitha wasn’t the type to let things slide after a setback. She immediately tried to


    orchestrate a simr food safety scandal for ire, but no one dared to take the job. A powerful


    figure had dered protection over ire’s diner, warning others not to foolishly court death.


    Tabitha was furious at home, but Betty harshly pped her. “Stop making trouble! Your father is still


    detained because of your antics, and we’ve lost millions in contracts. How could I have given birth


    to someone as dull as you? I’ve cut off all your credit cards. Don’t expect another penny from me!”


    “You can’t just cut off my cards!” Tabitha held her cheek, tears welling in her eyes.


    “You’re useless! Marry someone soon, and stop embarrassing us!” Betty’s finger nearly poked


    Tabitha’s nose. “I’ve already epted a proposal from Griffin of Big Win Meats. You’re getting


    married this year.”

    Betty’s words cut deep into Tabitha’s heart. “Mom, they are pork sellers! He’s nearly fifty, divorced


    twice, and has three kids. You want me to be their stepmom? I’m only twenty–two!”


    “So what if he sells pork? His family owns over a dozen ughterhouses, and their fresh products


    hold 20% of the market share at the Fairmount market. Once he’s gone, all that money will be


    yours.”


    “I won’t marry him! Why are you doing this to me?” she screamed, her voice filled with despair and


    helplessness.


    She grabbed a vase nearby and smashed it on the floor. The ceramic shattered into countless


    pieces, mirroring her shattered state. Then, she picked up a family photo frame from the table and


    threw it against the wall, ss shards flying everywhere.


    “Lock her in her room,” Betty instructed the servant. “Once your dad is out, we’ll arrange a meeting


    to set the wedding date!”
