    "Emily, sit down. Dad has something he wants to talk about with you."

    Faced with Shawn Lyle’s serious tone, Emily Lyle felt an unconscious sense of unease, followed by a faint sense of joy.

    Seriousness might mean something good.

    She sat obediently on the sofa, her swollen face and slightly moist eyes making her appear pitiable.

    Seeing this, Shawn Lyle couldn’t help but sigh. This daughter was much more obedient than Elliana. He had thought about keeping this daughter.

    But since keeping her would be a hassle, abandoning her was something he had to do.

    "Emily, Dad wants to send you abroad to live. What do you think?"

    As soon as these words were spoken, Emily Lyle’s expression flickered, clearly not understanding the meaning. Why send her abroad without any reason?

    Could it be to study abroad?

    Seeing this, Shawn Lyle added, "Don’t worry, Dad will send you money every month. You can live well abroad, and in the future, just don’te back."

    The atmosphere in the room immediately turned heavy, and Emily Lyle’s hands clenched tightly together.

    She bit her lower lip, saying nothing. She had originally wanted to stay in the Lyle family, to join the Lyle family business.

    But now she was to be sent abroad, and Shawn Lyle hoped she’d never return. These words truly chilled her heart.

    Though she had never questioned Shawn Lyle’s decisions, this time, she had to ask for herself.

    She looked up, about to speak, only to find that Shawn Lyle had already changed. His eyes were filled with indifference, without a trace of a father’s love.

    And this indifferent gaze was more like looking at an irrelevant stranger.

    She gathered the courage to ask, "Dad, why? I’m your daughter, why send me abroad? And make me not..."

    "You are my daughter, but you also have to consider Dad’s current situation. If you are unwilling to go abroad, the bond between us as father and daughter will be severed." Shawn Lyle’s tone had be impatient. He hated more than anything being questioned about his decisions.

    If Emily Lyle disagreed, he could send her to "hell" in an instant.

    He couldn’t control Elliana, but he could certainly control this illegitimate daughter without support.

    By now, Emily Lyle could see that there was no way she couldn’t go abroad. Even though she didn’t know why, she could only agree.

    She held back her tears, nodded, and said, "Okay, I’ll listen to Dad. Everything will be arranged by Dad."

    "Hmm, that’s my good daughter. Take a look yourself and see which country you want to go to; I’ll apply for citizenship for you."

    This was something Emily Lyle did not expect. She originally thought it was just going abroad; she didn’t expect a change of citizenship.

    At this moment, she btedly remembered Elliana’s words.

    You reap what you sow.

    It was also at this moment that she understood the opportunity Elliana had given was good, and what she was doing now was as futile as drawing water with a bamboo basket.

    ...

    That night.

    "Boss, Ms. Lyle has boarded the ne."

    Hearing this news, Shawn Lyle finally breathed a sigh of relief, then said over the phone, "Yes, send out the news early tomorrow morning."

    ―――The next day.

    [Breaking News]: A real-life wealthy family scam, a woman impersonates a rich man’s daughter for money. Police say: This woman has fled abroad, and her personal ounts have been frozen.

    Seeing this news, Elliana couldn’t help but marvel at Shawn Lyle’s speed. In just one day, he had managed to send Emily Lyle away.

    Buzz buzz～

    Dad: "I’ve already sent your sister abroad. Are you satisfied? When will youe back?"

    Cat: "Dad, since you’ve already sent Emily Lyle abroad, let the ties be severed. Before she left me, I gave her a card with two million on it, and she took it, saying she’d leave the Lyle family immediately, so you don’t need to worry about her living expenses anymore."

    After sending the message, she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to wash up, not bothering to wait for Shawn Lyle’s reply.

    With Shawn Lyle’s personality, he definitely wouldn’t have any more contact with Emily Lyle, even if it was just a misunderstanding. With her domestic assets frozen and no support from Shawn Lyle, she wouldn’t make waves abroad.

    It’s not that she’s heartless; if Emily Lyle hadn’t injured herself to frame her, she wouldn’t have said anything to Shawn Lyle.

    The opportunity she gave was one that Shawn Lyle took advantage of now.

    After washing up and leaving the lounge, she found the office empty, indicating that Norman Bet had gone to a meeting.

    She hadn’t gone back since arriving at Melody Harmony yesterday; she even slept in the lounge at night.

    Honestly, it’s not much different from staying at the vi, except here, she has the chance to see Norman Bet more often.

    Pikachu ?～

    Her phone rang in the lounge, and she froze for a moment before quickly running back to it.

    "Hello, Luna."

    The voice on the other end was a bit anxious: "What are you doing? You didn’t reply to the messages I sent you."

    "I was just washing up, didn’t notice."

    Luna said, "Alright,e out quickly, I’m at your door."

    "I’m at Norman Bet’spany, not at the vi."

    Luna: "...Alright then, I’ll take care of it myself. You just wait for the news, bye."

    Beep―――!

    The phone was hung up, and Luna sent her a few photos with heavy mosaics.

    At first nce, she recognized the person in the pictures as Nancy, whose eyes were full of fear, limbs tied up, with scrollingments on the sides, seemingly during a live broadcast.

    Luna (Mentor): "Live broadcast from many years ago, from the same tform as Lina Dunn."

    Seeing Nancy’s state, she should have been forced! Such fearful eyes, she could imagine how scared Nancy must have been.

    But that’s not the main point. The main point is that Luna said the tform for Nancy’s live stream was the same as Lina Dunn’s, which very likely could be Simon King’s.

    In other words, Nancy’s disappearance could very likely be rted to Simon King!

    Cat: "Luna, is Nancy’s matter rted to Simon King?"

    Luna (Mentor): "Can’t be certain yet, but very likely."

    Cat: "Where did you find this live broadcast video?"

    Luna (Mentor): "Andrew found it; a few days ago, you asked me to investigate if Simon King was involved in illegal streaming. I handed this task to Andrew, and he downloaded the site and found it by ident."

    "Are you up?"

    Norman Bet’s voice sounded, nearly causing Elliana to drop her phone.

    At this moment, the man had already walked into the lounge, and her slightly startled demeanor made him find it a bit strange.

    Steadying her phone, she looked at the man, casually asking, "Norman, back from the meeting?"

    "Mm." The man walked up to her, noticing her unsettled look, and asked, "Did something happen?"

    Faced with the man’s inquiry, she didn’t hide anything and directly showed him the messages Luna sent her.

    "Don’t worry, let Luna investigate it first. Simon King is busy with divorce proceedings right now, so he can’t focus on much else. It’s a good opportunity, and you’re about to graduate, focus on preparing your thesis."

    Since Norman Bet said so, she could only agree. After all, she couldn’t help with these matters anyway. With graduation approaching, she indeed should focus on preparing her thesis.
