Chapter 50 20 vouchers Sadie always said , " Know yourself and your enemy , and you'll never lose a battle . " To keep Natasha from getting bullied , she went to great lengths to dig up all the dirty secrets on the most devoted simps around Olivia . The whole Lawson family drama was prime material for one of their late - night gossip sessions . Natasha remembered it clearly , since Sadie had spent half the night roasting Don's grandpa , Bryant Lawson , with extra enthusiasm . The current head of the Lawson family , Bryant Lawson , married the Snider family's only daughter , Rachel Snider . While Rachel was alive , Bryant was widely praised as a devoted husband , always managing the household and supporting her in every way . Rachel , grateful for his dedication , went out of her way to support the entire Lawson family . It was a classic case of one person making it big and taking their whole family along for the ride . But when Rachel hit her forties , she got cancer , and left the family business in Bryant's hands . As Bryant started calling the shots , word got out that he already had a bunch of illegitimate kids . Luckily , the Snider family wasn't totally out of the picture . There were still some old - timers in the company keeping a close eye on Bryant , making sure he didn't get too wild . Both sides kept each other in check , holding onto a fragile balance . The bottom line was that no matter what , the Snider Group would never become the Lawson Group , Back in the day , it was Rachel and her father who built up the Snider family's business empire . Bryant was just the caretaker who maintained what was already there . Even so , the fortune Rachel left behind was still substantial . In Scrushire , it was always the Snider name that truly carried weight . Even after Bryant made it to the top , he could never shake off the stigma of being 1/5 5:07 pm Chapter 50 EL 20 vouchers overshadowed by his wife's accomplishment , nor his reputation for being ungrateful and opportunistic . The respectable families in Scrushire preferred to keep their distance from him . In order to get more shares , Don started reading the room and suggested changing his surname back to Snider . Instead of fighting Bryant's illegitimate kids to protect the Snider family legacy his grandmother left behind , he chose to suck up and change his surname . This move caused an uproar in Scrushire . Bryant acted like he was trying to talk him out of it , but deep down , he was secretly delighted . He had his own plans . With so many people watching , having Don , who was the real Snider family heir , voluntarily change his surname was the best thing that could've happened to him . To avoid the judgmental looks from those in the know , Bryant even decided to move the company's headquarters to Andphis City , starting over in a new place . It was only after the move that the Snider family was officially renamed the Lawson family . In Andphis City , most people met Don when he was already going by Don Lawson . Nobody cared enough to ask if he'd ever changed his last name . All traces of the past had been wiped clean . If it hadn't been for Sadie , who used to dream of being an investigative journalist and never let anything slide , they probably would've pulled it off . " Holy shit . That's just shameless ! " the girl with the baby face blurted out . The other girls all looked disgusted . After all , any one of them could've been in Rachel's shoes . Bryant was the ultimate backstabbing social climber , but Don was just an absolute scumbag . Natasha smiled as she watched the girls cursing up a storm , each one furious on Rachel's behalf . Sure enough , by the end of tonight's party , Don's original surname would be the hottest topic among the city's elite . 2/5 5:07 pm Chapter 50 Don looked as pale as a ghost . He was finished . 20 vouchers His grandfather had brought him here today just to show him off and hopefully scope out a potential marriage match . Before , he'd always found ways to dodge proposals because of Olivia , but after tonight , it'd be the women who wanted nothing to do with him . No respectable family that cared about their daughter would ever let her marry into a family this shameless and disloyal . Don's shameless move to change his surname was a total red flag . In some ways , the upper crust of Andphis City cared even more about saving face and keeping their reputations spotless . But the worst part was , the past Bryant had tried so desperately to keep hidden got dragged out into the open because of him . All those years of hard work were down the drain . Don ran off in disgrace . Through the crowd of girls gathered around Natasha , gossiping , Olivia locked eyes with her from across the room . They both knew that Olivia's second blade was now ruined . Olivia took a deep breath , knowing she wasn't exactly welcome here . She kept her composure , gave a polite nod , and turned to walk away in the opposite direction . She thought , ' It's no big deal . ' Some knives are just handy , easy to use , but not really that sharp . The sharpest ones are always saved for last ! ***** Meanwhile , Noel was upstairs , holding an ice pack to his face . Madeline couldn't stay with him forever , so once she was sure he was okay , she headed back to the garden to help Andrew entertain the guests . 3/5 5:07 pm 30 Chapter 50 EZ 20 vouchers She even made a point to tell Natasha that she'd already taken the bracelet out and given it to the butler . But Andrew had moved the cake - cutting and gift - giving part of the evening to after the engagement announcement . He also made it clear to Natasha that she and Lucas would have to go up on stage together to cut the cake . He told her to behave herself . Natasha just kept nodding , acting so obedient it actually unnerved the Clark family . For some reason , her eerily quiet attitude was even more unsettling than when she'd slapped Noel at the start of the night . Andrew had figured she'd kick up a fuss about this whole process , but she didn't . Of course , he wasn't prepared to back down . Even though he didn't really believe Natasha was over Lucas , with all the mess she's stirred up lately , he was worried she'd cause a scene at the party . He shot her a suspicious look , then called over a servant to keep an eye on her . Natasha's lips curled into a mocking smile . " If you're so worried about the marriage falling through , you should be watching Olivia and Lucas , not me . " Andrew glared at her , clearly annoyed . " What are you saying now ? Do you think it's honorable to drag your fiancé and your sister into this mess ? " Natasha pursed her lips and thought , " They had no problem using the excuse of " medical treatment " to ship my boyfriend and Olivia together . ' But now they want to act all righteous ? Please ,' She didn't care . She was just looking forward to the show . Seeing that Natasha had gone quiet , Andrew kept glancing back at her as he reminded her , " The big moment's coming up . Don't go running off now , alright ? " But what Andrew never saw coming was that , after all his careful planning , Natasha didn't stir up any trouble at all . Instead , at the very last moment , the groom - to - be was nowhere to be found . 4/5 5:07 pm SD 的 Chapter 50 20 vouchers He was up there with the microphone , going through the usual formalities and just about to announce some big news . He tried to signal for Natasha and Lucas to come over , but he only found Natasha blinking her big eyes with her arms crossed . She was watching him with a look that said she was enjoying the drama and couldn't wait to see what happened next . Madeline stood beside Thomas , both of them frowning in confusion . On the other side , the Wright family looked worried and upset , while a servant was anxiously talking to them . The star of the night , Lucas , who'd been right there just moments ago , had vanished . Andrew's heart skipped a beat . 5:07 pmD Chapter 51
