Chapter 248:
The strategy was bold, but it could work.
Now, all that remained was convincing Yelena to play her part.
“Mom, what’s the plan? Hurry up and tell us. We don’t have all day,” Sonya asked, her excitement barely contained.
The thought of aligning with the Harris family and indulging in a life of luxury made her impatient.
“Sonya, don’t you have a social media account? We’ll start a live stream, just like everyone else these days. Young people eat this stuff up. You figure out how to do this, and we’ll broadcast our story to the world—lay out all the ways that ungrateful Yelena betrayed us after everything we did for her,” Tatiana said, her voice brimming with confidence.
“Live streaming? Are you serious, Mom?” Sonya hesitated, her skepticism evident. “My account barely has any followers. How’s this supposed to work p>
“Trust me,” Tatiana said with a sly grin. “We’ll play the sympathy card. We raised Yelena, and now she’s abandoned us—people will eat that up. We just need to make it look like we’re the victims here. The Harris family won’t want their name dragged through the mud, especially over a scandal like this. They’ll have no choice but to reach out to us when they find out p>
Tatiana’s plan seemed foolproof in her mind.
“But what if it backfires, Mom?” Sonya asked cautiously. “What if people dig into the truth and it blows up in our faces p>
“Don’t be ridiculous!” Tatiana shot back, her voice sharp. “Even if they dig, the fact remains—we took Yelena in and raised her. That’s all anyone needs to know. The public loves an underdog story, and we’ll be the ones they root for p>
After a moment’s pause, Sonya nodded, a spark of determination lighting up her face.

“You’re right. Let’s do it. We’ll spin this perfectly, and people will line up to support us. The Harris family won’t dare ignore the backlash. They’re too powerful to let their image take a hit p>
Jonathan couldn’t shake his doubts, though.
“Are you sure this is gonna work? What if this backfires? The Harris family is powerful. If we provoke them, couldn’t they retaliate? We’re already on shaky ground as it is p>
“Dad, you’re overthinking it,” Sonya replied confidently. “Public opinion is on our side. The Harris family will be in a bind—they can’t afford to look heartless or cruel. Think about it—you raised their daughter for years. If they try to suppress us, people will see them as bullies. And from what I’ve heard, the Harris couple treats Yelena like a princess. They won’t risk a scandal involving her p>
Despite her confident tone, a flicker of jealousy crossed Sonya’s mind. The idea of Yelena living the life of a pampered socialite while she herself struggled to climb the social ladder was infuriating.
Jonathan took a deep breath and slowly nodded. Sonya’s logic seemed solid, and he couldn’t deny the validity of her argument.
Everyone was finally on board, and Sonya burned with a fierce determination. In her mind, it was only a matter of time before Yelena, who had so arrogantly turned her back on them, would come crawling for forgiveness.
Wasting no time, Sonya sprang into action. She verified her social media account and immediately began laying the groundwork for their plan.
To ensure maximum exposure, she decided to buy followers, understanding that a large audience was essential to catapult their story to the top of the trending charts.
