Chapter 18 Monica would not give up . She did not want to stay in the asylum for the rest of her life and be treated like a murderer . So , she used the netizens to her advantage to play the victim . She sobbed on the livestream , saying , " None of you have any idea how horrible and perverted that Vincent Hart was . He blackmailed me to go over to his place ! " I never wanted to harm anyone in the first place . Vincent was the one that put his hands on me and warned me to stay far away from Daniel ! Vincent told me not to stop his daughter from achieving her dreams and even wanted to choke me to death ! " I didn't mean to spill the tank . Vincent was the one who lit the fire too ! He wanted to burn me alive but died in the process . Yet I'm the one who has to be charged with murder ! " Monica sobbed pitifully . The comment section went from being filled with suspicion to believing her tale . Vincent Hart hadn't been a good man , after all . " Don't cry anymore , Ms. Tomlinson . We support you ! Vincent's death was a benefit to society ! " " Yeah ! Self - defense is lawful . Monica did not do anything wrong ! " " I'd suspected that the video was edited from the start . Gemma Hart must've been the one who did that in the first place . She must've wanted to ruin Monica's reputation out of jealousy . She really is just like her bastard father ! " " But … it's wrong to all someone … " " What do you know ? The law doesn't care about specifics like this . Monica did the right thing ! " That small voice was then buried under all the self - righteous social justice warriors . " What a bitch ! Monica is a stain to humanity , she is ! " Jennifer cursed angrily in her room . Gemma saw how Monica was trying to make herself seem like the victim online , and clenched her hands into fists . Gemma had long hated Monica for her three years ' stay in prison . The same went for Daniel . But for now , Gemma could only wait . She shut her phone and gently patted Monica's shoulder . " I'm heading out and will be a little late home . " Monica was gleeful as she saw her subscriber count increase . Private messages of encouragement and support filled her inbox . She was overjoyed looking at all of it , completely unaware of the danger she was about to face . Daniel shut off his phone , his expression murderous . He had watched Monica's entire livestream earlier . He never expected Monica to continue ruining Gemma's reputation like this . He truly had underestimated Monica ! Did Monica think she was safe , hiding in the asylum ? Daniel made a phone call and very quickly got a reply . He went to the asylum Monica was in , expression cold . The food here was not very good . Monica angrily slammed her utensils down , tossing her food on the floor . Anger filled her being and she took her phone out to call Jordan . " I told you I wanted my meals to come from a five star hotel ! Why can't you get anything done ? Are you trying to push me around now that I've lost my fame ? " Monica screeched . Jordan's brows knitted together in disgust as he put the phone away from his ear . " Of course not , Ms. Tomlinson . It's just that , you only told me your request last night , but the restaurant you wanted to order from requires reservations . I've already made sure they'll hurry things up . You just need to hold on for one more day , then tomorrow- " " Excuses! I'm warning you . Anyone else can push me around , just not you ! " Monica yelled before switching to speakerphone . " Did you forget who it was that saved your ass when you were caught falsifying evidence for the suspect ? Me ! " If it weren't for me , you would've never gotten into the city's best law firm with those shabby skills of yours ! You have to do as I say for the rest of your life ! You have no say in anything I order you to do ! " Heavy , angry breathing came from across the call . Monica was about to speak again when Jordan suddenly scoffed . " Do you really think that besides Daniel Webb , the rest of the world has to do your bidding , Monica Tomlinson ? It's such a pity that Daniel doesn't want to see you at all " Monica's expression fell right away . She glared at the phone and growled , " What . Did . You . Say ? " " I said - Daniel despises you with his life . In fact , when has any other lawyer ever respected you ? You've just been using Daniel's reputation to boost your own all this while . Your capabilities - or should I say , do you even have any ? J " All you have is me helping you get back at your love rival in prison . You set her up to get beaten , to swallow glass , and even dislocate her shoulder . Say , if Daniel finds out that his wife has been having a terrible , terrible time in prison for the past three years … " Do you think you'd live to see another day ? " The call was then hung up . But Monica was no longer in the mood to curse at Jordan over the phone . She trembled in place , staring at the man who'd suddenly appeared before her . " D - Daniel ! " A " 4
