Averie was pinned on the sofa, completely naked. Her clothes were torn and scattered around. Seeing Solana at this moment, Averie could hardly believe her eyes.

She arrived right on time, expecting to see Solana being brutally treated. She even planned what to say to her parents
afterward.
Solana had taken over her parents and family for so long, turning her into an ignorant country bumpkin with poor grades. Meanwhile, Solana was living like a princess.
So, even if Solana were to move to the remote countryside later, she shouldn’t get away with the benefits of the past eighteen years.
So no matter what, Averie was set to ruin Solana.
But to her confusion, when she entered the room, she didn’t see Solana. Instead, Aaron jumped out, accusing her of breaking their promise. Then, he ignored her explanations and stripped her clothes off.
Averie was crying her eyes out as she struggled to call for help from Solana. But Solana simply took out her phone calmly and snapped a bunch of photos of Averie.
After a slight pause, Averie finally realized it and shouted angrily, “What are you doing?”
Solana pretended to be scared of the three men in the room and said while backing up slightly, “I… I’ll tell Dad right away. He will take care of everything for you.”
“No! Don’t!” Averie screamed.
But with three “dings,” those photos had already been sent out.
Aaron immediately ran away with his two buddies when he saw Solana arrive.
Averie looked ghastly pale; struggling to stand up, she snapped fiercely, “Why did you do this to me?”
Solana looked at her indifferently. “What did I do to you?”
Averie was left speechless. Solana seemed to have done nothing, yet it felt as if she had done something after all.
It hurt.
It hurt so much.
Every inch of Averie’s body hurt so badly.
Robert and Gloria rushed over soon. Averie, having changed into clean clothes, curled up on the hotel bed. She was in so much pain that she was unable to speak.
After checking the surveillance footage in the surveillance room, Robert turned extremely pale because there were no signs of forced entry or coercion; Averie came willingly!

Solana almost couldn’t resist her urge to laugh at Robert’s expression, which clearly showed he wanted to strangle Averie with his own hands. After all, in the surveillance footage, Averie looked excited and eager to hop into bed with a man.
Solana grinned at Averie. “Sorry, Averie, I didn’t know they were your boyfriends. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have told… Mr. Webb.”
Hearing the word “they,” Averie screamed, “No! No! They’re not! Stop spreading lies!”
Robert suddenly turned around, staring at Solana coldly and asked, “Why did you just happen to show up here?”
Solana lowered her head, saying, “It’s… Averie called me here. She said if I came, she’d give me my parents‘ contact info. Look for yourself, if you don’t believe me.”
She pulled out the text messages Averie sent her.
Robert was momentarily speechless because he had also seen the surveillance footage–Solana only arrived after Averie, so she wasn’t lying.
Averie struggled to crawl over, grabbing Robert’s hand and crying, “Dad, I was raped by them! You have to avenge me!”
Robert’s suppressed anger finally erupted. He roared, “Then explain to me who they are! And why you were meeting them!”
Averie shrank back at the shout, stuttering, “They… they…”
Gloria’s hand trembled slightly as she looked at Averie in disbelief. “Averie, you’re not seriously… dating three guys at once, are you?”
“Mom!” Averie exclaimed, “How can you say that about me? I’m your daughter!”
‘Yes, she was my daughter, but… she wasn’t raised by me,‘ Gloria thought, but didn’t dare say it, fearing it would hurt Averie.
Robert was still furious, snapping, “Not talking, huh? Then I’ll bring those three back and ask them myself!”
With that, he was about to leave.
“Dad! Dad, no! I’ll say it,” Averie cried pitifully, her shoulders heaving. After a while, she finally confessed, “They’re loan sharks.”
“What?” Gloria was shocked. “Why would you borrow from loan sharks?”
To a rich lady like Gloria, loan sharks were basically on par with the mafia, completely worlds apart from people of their status.
She never expected her daughter to get involved with such people.
‘What’s the difference between her and those sugar babies?‘ she murmured inwardly.
Her gaze at Averie was filled with obvious disappointment.

Averie felt it and quickly continued, “Because… my foster parents didn’t have money, but my foster mom loves to dress up. She spends the money and then forgets, always accusing me of stealing it. She beats and scolds me, forcing me to pay
her back.”
Gloria was shocked, like, totally couldn’t believe there were parents like that out there.
Even Robert’s initial anger had cooled down a bit.
Thus, Averie went all out with her story. “My foster dad’s a gambling addict. He lost our house, so we had to rent, but then they made me pay the rent. I… I had no choice. I’m so sorry, Mom, Dad. I’m sorry!”
She scrambled off the bed, knelt in front of Robert and Gloria. “I shouldn’t have borrowed from loan sharks! Even if they beat me to death, I shouldn’t have done it. It’s all my fault. I’m sorry! I brought shame to you. I don’t deserve to be your daughter!” Then, she burst into tears.
At that moment, Gloria was so heartbroken that she had a runny nose and tears streaming down her face. She hurriedly hugged Averie, wishing to give her all the love in the world.
Beside them, Robert was so mad that he kicked over a chair.
Only Solana stood quietly to the side, watching the lying Averie keep spinning her tale coldly.
‘Just keep going!‘ Solana sneered inwardly. One day, she would expose all Averie’s lies and have her stand naked in public, despised by everyone.
She stepped forward, chiming in, “Since Averie was bullied, why not call the cops?”
Gloria immediately reacted and said anxiously, “Right, call the cops! Honey, we can’t let those people get away with it. I want them in jail!”
Then, she grabbed her phone to dial.
But Robert snatched her phone away, glaring at her. “The cops? You think Averie’s reputation isn’t ruined enough? And our family’s not embarrassed enough? No one’s talking about this to anyone!”
Meanwhile, Solana watched coldly, suddenly feeling like laughing. It turned out that no matter who it was, as long as they hurt his reputation, even if it were his daughter, he wouldn’t allow it.
So this time, Averie could only bite the bullet and swallow her anger.
“Then are we just gonna let this slide?” Gloria asked indignantly.
“I’ll deal with those three. What’s the rush?” Robert suddenly remembered something, his eyes on Solana. “The pics!”
Solana pulled up the photos and handed him her phone.
Robert swiftly deleted all the pics, then tossed the phone back to Solana.
Solana caught the phone, keeping it in her hand calmly.
‘Hmph, guess Robert didn’t know about cloud backups. I’d already uploaded those pics to the cloud for safekeeping,‘ she
sneered inwardly.
