"DM me, I'll send it for free." "DM me, DM me." Aline and Dick scrolled through the comments beneath the video, trembling.
Both of them had always belonged to high society, and now, with their scandal exposed online for all to see, it was as if they'd been stripped naked for public ridicule. The shwas unbearable.
"We have no choice but to ask my brother for help now," Dick muttered.

The moment the call connected, Dick barely had tto speak before an enraged voice exploded through the receiver. "You absolute idiot! How did our family even end up with someone like you? Do you have any idea how much damage you alone have done to Glenwood Group's reputation? The stock's in free fall, and the company's social media is flooded with your sleazy photos with your wife. And you still have the nerve to call me?" Dick rushed to apologize. "Bro... I'm sorry, I messed up. But the Glenwood family is powerful-you can fix this, I know you can." Talbot seethed with fury on the other end. Watching Glenwood Group's stock price plummet, he wanted nothing more than to strangle his idiot brother.
And now Dick had the audacity to ask for help again.
Talbot's tone was ice cold. "Do you know how many times I've had to clean up your messes over the years? How many times have you promised not to screw up again? And have you ever kept your word?" Dick was desperate now, his voice cracking with panic. "Please, Talbot, I swear, this is the last time. Just helpone more time, I'm begging you." There was a long, heavy silence.
Finally, Talbot let out a weary sigh and spoke.
"Dick, you've always been hopeless. Dad says you're done with the branch office -don't worry about it anymore. He said you'd better figure out your life from here." Dick stared at the phone in disbelief. "What do you mean? Dad's kickingout of the company?" Talbot laughed bitterly. "You're too much of a liability. If we keep covering for you, you'll be the end of the Glenwood family. This is the best decision for everyone." He added, "Don't worry. Dad and I will still support you and your family financially. You won't be destitute." With that, Talbot hung up.
"It's over. The Glenwood family is abandoning me," Dick whispered, his legs giving out as he collapsed to the floor.

Furious, she slammed a fist into her mattress before sitting up, muttering, "Those two didn't even bother to wake me." She quickly got ready and headed toward her classroom, moving ather own pace. In the past, the teachers had always turned a blind eye to her behavior because of her family's influence.
Jeanette swaggered into the classroom as usual, but this time, the teacher stopped her at the door.
"Jeanette, you missed your morning class today. That's one unexcused absence."
"Me?" Jeanette stared at the teacher ve in disbelief, almost thinking she'd misheard. The female teacher's Voice was cold Yes, you. If you keep up this attitude, I suggest you start packing your things-you'll be expelled if it happens again."
The teacher glared at her with a look that barely concealed years of resentment: Jeanette had been the ringleader in humiliating her several times before, but the Glenwood family's power had always forced her to swallow her pride. Now that Jeanette's protection was gone, it was tfor her to pay.
