Finley furrowed her brow. Why would Haven be calling her at this time?
It was clearly her who first accused of her online…
“What’s up?” Finley said indifferently. She had done her best for the Hodge family.
Haven remained silent for a while, and Finley was starting to get impatient. “If there’s nothing, hang up.”
“Wait.” Haven stopped her. “The situation online is getting worse. Maybe we should…”
She hesitated, and Finley understood her thoughts.
“You’re willing?”
Finley raised an eyebrow. Haven had always been wary of her because of this issue, but now she was voluntarily bringing it up.
“If we don’t address it, both of us might be ruined.”
Finley had been in the entertainment industry for some time and understood how serious things could become if they continued down this path.
“Since you’ve agreed, then I have nothing to say.”
Finley agreed. This matter was not something to be kept hidden.
It was just that Haven had always felt it would affect her reputation and was unwilling to bring it up…
Finley looked at the college diploma on the bedside table, and scenes from that year gradually appeared in her mind.
The two sisters were twins, and that year they took the college entrance examination together, both getting into prestigious universities.
However, their family had limited resources and could only afford to send one person to college.
So, Finley voluntarily gave up the opportunity and went to work to support their family.
But for some reason, Haven never wanted others to mention this matter and repeatedly asked Finley to keep it a secret.
Both of them never confided in each other, leading to increasing estrangement, which eventually led to the current situation.
On the other end, Haven was stunned for a while before hanging up the phone.
She raised her eyebrows, and the words Gregory and Linda said echoed in her ears.
“Don’t worry, you are our daughter. Your sister has already gone to work, so you can take her place and go to college.”
Unexpectedly, Gregory and Linda had only meant that Haven should go to college on behalf of both of them, but their expression was misleading. Over the years, Haven had understood it as her impersonating Finley in college.
Due to this misunderstanding, she had always felt guilty towards Finley, but because the government was strict on this matter, nobody dared to bring it up.
Haven also worried that her parents might face consequences because of this, so she had been keeping it a secret from Finley.
This misunderstanding had lasted for more than ten years in a flash.
She looked at the faintly glowing screen, feeling a tremor in her heart.
She opened Twitter and typed the next line, the words filled with Haven’s regret and self-blame, acknowledging her failure to take care of her family and revealing the truth behind this matter.
In summary, Finley had been accepted into college, but their parents favored her and allowed her to attend.
Soon, the tweet was sent out and caught the attention of a large number of netizens.
Finley also retweeted Haven’s tweet immediately, expressing her deep apology once again.
She added more details, revealing the misunderstanding that Haven had been carrying for so many years.
“Haven and I are twin sisters, and our parents trafficked us. Initially, both of us got into college, but due to limited resources at home, I willingly gave up my spot.”
Their family had been dominating Twitter for some time, and their story had been brought up by many people.
Now that the truth was exposed to the public, if they genuinely wanted to move on, it was for the best.
More serious matters were exposed, child trafficking, which instantly caught people’s attention.
On the other side, reporters found Gregory and Linda’s location, and a large group of people with cameras and microphones approached them.
“Mr. Hodge, what are your thoughts on your two daughters?”
“We want to know the real reason behind not allowing Finley to go to college?”
…
Various questions kept coming up, and the interview scene became chaotic for a while.
However, Gregory and Linda showed no intention of leaving. They answered the reporters’ questions one by one, each sentence filled with their unfair treatment and biases towards the two daughters.
The reporters could also sense Gregory and Linda’s emotions, but this was the Hodge family’s matter, and they couldn’t intervene at the moment.
Soon, more and more things were said by Gregory and Linda, and each sentence was incredibly shocking.
On the other side, Star Entertainment also received a notification about Gregory and Linda’s interview.
Upon hearing this news, Jane furrowed her brow. These parents sure knew how to create trouble.
Now that things were gradually improving, they actually went out to give interviews. Weren’t they intentionally making it difficult for their two daughters?
But Gregory and Linda were from a remote area and didn’t understand these principles. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have engaged in child trafficking in the first place.
In this case, Jane had to personally step in.
She directly brought a few assistants and tall security guards from the company and headed straight to the interview location.
As soon as she arrived at the interview scene, Jane heard someone continuously shouting inside, every word piercing.
Suppressing her inner dissatisfaction, Jane led her team and rushed into the interview scene.
Sure enough, Gregory and Linda were surrounded by a group of reporters, and they were saying all sorts of malicious words.
“If it weren’t for that daughter of ours, we would have been successful long ago. All these years, she’s been taking care of her sister and never paid attention to herself.”
While saying this, Linda wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, making those reporters believe her words.
“What’s even more outrageous is that Finley, that wretched girl. She disrespected her elders. When I tried to talk to her, she kicked me out. She’s just deliberately humiliating me!”
Gregory joined in, and the scene became lively.
“Make way, make way.”
Jane maneuvered through the crowd, finally reaching Gregory and Linda.
At that moment, Gregory and Linda were still criticizing Finley, wiping away tears that welled up in their eyes.
“What’s going on?”
Jane furrowed her brow. She didn’t expect Gregory and Linda to be so jealous of their own daughter’s success and spew such nonsense here.
“You don’t know about my eldest daughter. Since childhood, she couldn’t stand her younger sister doing well. Whenever something happened, she would compete with her sister. This time is no different. She pushed all the blame onto her sister and fabricated this nonsense about child trafficking…”
“Child trafficking? That’s all nonsense. If it weren’t for this unfilial child, things wouldn’t have escalated like this!”
Linda and Gregory’s words became more and more absurd, confusing even Jane.
