Chapter 50 C Over the next three days , my father and brother rarely appeared before me . Before they did that , they explained to me with guilty faces , " The company is too busy . Once everything settles down , we'll celebrate your birthday properly . " After they left , Sally would send me more photos and videos . They were preparing even more extravagant jewelry for her birthday party , along with a dress worth billion . Everything was even more precious than what she had for her wedding . [ Susan , do you know why Dad and Aidan are doing this ? It's because they feel that the video released that day , along with you being trampled at the wedding , ruined my big day . So , they're making it up to me with something even better . This time , you won't have a chance to show up in front of me . The Shermans will soon be mine . Lol . ] } I screenshotted the message and forwarded it to Jack . Soon , Sally's birthday arrived . Actually , this day was not only her birthday but also mine and everything she orchestrated was solely to crush me completely at this moment . Aidan brought me a simple birthday cake . After lighting the candles , he stammered , " Susan , the incident you were involved in caused too much commotion . Public opinion hasn't settled yet and your health hasn't fully recovered either , so ... " I quickly interrupted him with a blank expression . " It's fine , I've already prepared the best gift for myself . " Hearing this , my father looked relieved . " Susan , you've matured so much after this incident . " Aidan then patted my hand reassuringly . " It's okay . Next year , Dad and I will throw you an even better birthday party . We'll make it huge ! I'll make you the happiest person in the world ! " " There won't be a next time , I murmured to myself . " Luckily , they didn't catch what I said . In the past , whenever my brother said something like that , I'd always leap up excitedly . But now , I just stared expressionlessly at the cake before me . They all instantly sensed something was off . " My father reached out to grab me , as if he still wanted to promise me something . I didn't have time to resist as my brother's phone suddenly rang . After glancing at the caller's name , Aidan shot our father a meaningful look . Both of them hurriedly reassured me , " Susan , there's an urgent matter at the company . We need to handle it . Stay home and be good . I'll have someone watch over you . " 1. " I nodded calmly , watching them leave . Ten minutes later , Sally sent me another video . It showed my father affectionately dabbed a bit of cream on her cheek , while my brother laughed happily . Everyone was gathered around them , making Sally look like a little princess . ( Susan , why aren't you joining us ? Oh , right , I forgot it's also your birthday today . What a shame , Dad and Aidan both came to celebrate my birthday with me . They even promised they would absolutely not let you show up . Sally , if I were you , living like this , I'd rather die . Your reputation , your innocence , your family , your wealth you've lost it all . How can you have the nerve to keep living ? ] 2 After watching the cheerful video and reading Sally's message , I closed my eyes and blocked that number permanently . " However , my counterattack was coming . I took out a lighter and set the curtains ablaze before me . Soon , raging flames started to devour everything.2 At Sally's birthday party , my father was about to sign the share transfer agreement when the girl beside him could barely contain the greed in her eyes . " Just then , the secretary rushed in to interrupt him . " Mr. Sherman ! It's bad ! The video of the people you hired attacking Miss Susan has been posted online ! * % My father's face instantly changed . Before he could say anything , his phone rang . " Sir ! Miss Susan's room is on fire ! By the time we found out , the fire had already engulfed the entire villa ! " \ The call made his phone fall to the floor straightaway . "
