Chapter 1172 You Have No Right
At her remark, Samuel sneered. “What are you laughing at?” Heidi yelled at him. “It’s not worth doing this for a woman who has been burned into ashes! I swear you will regret treating me this way!”
Her coquettish complaint only caused the disdain in his eyes to deepen. The next second, he slowly squatted down to be at eye level with her. “It seems like you haven’t learned your lesson.”
Samuel’s words succeeded in reminding Heidi of the humiliation she had suffered the other night. The indignant look on her face changed instantly. “Y-You—”
“I regret showing you mercy back then as it allowed you to have the chance to make comments on her.” Following that sentence, he enunciated, “From now on, I will not give you another chance to do so.”
His eyes glinted in a way that resembled a bloodthirsty wolf. Heidi was disconcerted by his gaze. “What will you do? Samuel, what are you planning to do to me?”
Samuel did not answer her question. Instead, he rose to his feet unhurriedly and walked toward his Hummer, leaving her alone outside the empty and gloomy cemetery.
As Heidi struggled to get up from the ground, she realized she looked like a Dalmatian because of the splatters of mud on her. Furious, she bit her lower lip until it turned purple.
Was Samuel warning me? But so what if he did? However, Heidi soon learned what his warning meant.
The next day, photos of her fooling around with men were exposed early in the morning. In the span of a day, everyone in the city scorned her and her family. People could not stop lamenting the preposterousness of the fact that, as the relatives of the royal family, the Leitz family could have such messy private lives.
Heidi paled as soon as she saw those photos. Although she used to be promiscuous, she was very cautious and prioritized her privacy. However, almost all the photos had high definition, and there was nothing covering her face.
There were many mocking comments below the post of the photos. A user named “Devil” commented: Oh my! This woman is so wild. I’m curious about the full version. I wonder where I can watch it.
Another user called “Gossip-loving Dwarf” commented: Rich people sure know how to have fun! They are so open-minded! Someone with the username “Working Hard For My Babe” commented: As expected of an illegitimate child to be a disgrace! She’s worlds apart from the Leitz family’s legitimate daughter!
The following comments had all sorts of content, with most being sarcastic and criticizing her. As Heidi scrolled through the comment section, she felt more and more uneasy. Why is this happening?
Tossing her tablet aside, she knitted her brows. The scandal would label her as a disgrace to the Leitz family, and she could no longer receive any benefits from the family.
Just then, Helma strode into the mansion. As soon as she saw Heidi, she stormed forward to slap her. After a loud smack sounded, a red palm print quickly appeared on Heidi’s cheek.
The younger woman’s cheek was in pain from the slap, but she dared not talk back to Helma. “H-Helma, let me explain, okay?” was all she could say. “Go on. I’m all ears.” Helma arched a brow, motioning for Heidi to continue.
However, the latter was stumped for words. In the end, she could only hold onto Helma’s arm as she spoke pitifully. “Helma, I don’t know how things turned out like this.”
All of a sudden, Heidi recalled what Samuel had told her the previous night. As if she had found a lifeline, she exclaimed, “That’s right! It must be Samuel! He said he wouldn’t let me off! This must be his doing!”
As soon as Helma heard Samuel’s name, she retorted, “Who told you to provoke him?”
She then slapped Heidi again. “No wonder you were all fired up when you saw me plotting against Natalie. It turns out you’re interested in him! I underestimated you! You are just as despicable as your biological mom!”
Although Heidi loved to fool around, she had a deep affection for her mother.
Hearing Helma slandering her mother, she could not help but counter, “Helma, don’t you act all noble in front of me. You were envious of Natalie because Bastien proposed to her in public instead of you. This was why you framed her for trafficking psychotropic drugs, causing her to die in prison! You have no right to lecture me and insult my mother!”
