Chapter 247:
Bella, lounging casually as she read the message, let a sly smile tug at the corners of her lips. Her response, however, was crafted to appear warm and supportive.
“If that’s true, then Yelena really shouldn’t have behaved that way. It’s awful. You were her family for so long—it’s heartless of her to treat you like this p>
Sonya felt a flicker of emotion at Bella’s apparent kindness. “You’re so understanding, Bella,” she replied. “We’re completely at a loss about what to do p>
“Don’t worry—I’ll talk to her when I get home. Maybe she hasn’t really thought about how this looks or how it affects you. Don’t be too hard on her. She can be… difficult at times, but we’re used to it.” Bella, slipping easily into her role, offered a response tinged with faux sympathy. Her words were laced with subtle condescension, a veiled jab disguised as compassion.
Sonya latched onto Bella’s seemingly helpful tone. “Thank you so much, Bella. It means a lot to us. We’ll wait for any news you can share p>
Jonathan’s jaw tightened, his thoughts spiraling into darker territory.
He had imagined Yelena’s return to the Harris family as an opportunity—a bridge to wealth and influence that could lift the Roberts family from their current struggles. Instead, she had severed that connection, indulging in her newfound luxury while leaving them to fend for themselves.
“Don’t let her betrayal eat you alive, Jonathan. We’re not powerless. That ungrateful girl thinks she’s untouchable, but we’ll remind her exactly where she came from. And trust me—we’ll come out on top,” Tatiana, ever perceptive, placed a hand on his arm.
He exhaled sharply, his frustration barely restrained.

“So what’s the plan? Do we go to the media? Expose her for who she really is? That might force her to deal with p>
Tatiana leaned back, a sly smile curling her lips. “No,” she said softly, her tone chilling. “The media is a blunt weapon, Jonathan. Too obvious, too messy. I have something better in mind—something she’ll never see coming p>
Memories of Sonya’s plagiarism scandal surfaced, and an idea struck Tatiana like lightning, her lips curling into a devious smile.
“What’s your plan, Tatiana?” Jonathan asked, his curiosity piqued.
Over the years, he’d come to rely on her sharp instincts. Tatiana had a knack for navigating crises, often providing clarity when he felt cornered.
Now, with the family’s future at stake, he trusted her to deliver once again.
Sonya leaned forward, her eyes gleaming with anticipation.
“What are we going to do, Mom? I want Yelena to pay for everything. She needs to understand that she can’t treat us like this p>
Finally, Tatiana spoke, her voice steady and deliberate.
“It’s simple. We remind the Harris family exactly who Yelena is—and who we are. We’ve raised her, nurtured her, and made her what she is today. If they want to protect their precious image, they’ll have no choice but to acknowledge us. We’ll make sure they come crawling to us, not the other way around p>
Jonathan’s expression shifted to one of satisfaction, a slow smile creeping onto his face.
Tatiana’s self-assured tone left no room for doubt.
This was their opportunity—perhaps their only one—to secure the Harris family’s attention and ensure their survival.
