Chapter 40
Sheila was totally baffled. Why the hell was she trending?
She hadn’t taken on any new gigs recently, so how in the world did she end up on the trending list? And at the very top of it? Even during her heyday, when she was constantly in the limelight, she never topped the trending list!
What on earth was going on?
Feeling a knot in her stomach, Sheila quickly checked her phone. There it was, her name right at the top of Twitter’s trending list.
The trending topic was: #Actress Sheila’s Sugar Daddy Exposed #
Sheila’s hand trembled as she clicked on the trending hashtag. The posts were filled with videos of her at some dinner party, schmoozing with industry bigwigs, and a GIF of her sitting on the lap of some balding sugar daddy!
Holy crap! How did these unmentionable scenes end up on the trending list?
Who was doing this? Who was trying to ruin her?!
Amold was mortified because trending meant the whole world could see her disgraceful acts, “You embarrassing misfit, look at your
reckless behavior in the video!”
Sheila turned pale, shaking her head in denial, “Dad, you’ve got it all wrong, I…”
Arnold snapped in disgust, “You were sitting on that old man’s lap! What else could it be? How could I have raised such a shameless daughter?!”
Sheila tried to explain, “Dad, I…I was just discussing work…”
Arnold, livid, grabbed a dried flower from the cabinet and threw it at her face, “Discussing work? Is sitting on a man’s lap part of the discussion?”
Sheila was hit on the head and was terrified, “I…”
“Dad, calm down. I believe she didn’t do it on purpose.” Ellinor poured a cup of warm water for Arnold, pleading, “Dad, Sheila was just trying to get ahead; that’s why she got taken advantage of by those old men!”
Arnold got even angrier, “Get ahead? What honor has she brought to our family? She’s causing a scandal and it’s on the trending list. I don’t even know how to face people now!”
No pain, no gain.
At first, Arnold was embarrassed that his younger daughter, Ellinor, who was working as a maid. But now, Sheila’s outrageous behavior was the real embarrassment!
Compared to Sheila, at least Ellinor was a good girl who worked hard.
Sheila didn’t dare argue with her father, but she pointed at Ellinor and snapped, “Ellinor, stop playing the good guy in front of Dad! It’s all your fault; ever since you came back, nothing good has happened…”
Smack!
Arnold slapped Sheila across the face in anger!
“You dare blame your sister! You’re the one who’s always out partying, and you have the nerve to criticize your sister! At least she works hard and doesn’t do anything inappropriate! Look at you! I don’t see any signs of remorse from you. It’s high time someone taught you a lesson, you shameless creature!” Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ah!” Sheila screamed and fell to the ground while crying.
“You dare cry!” Arnold was about to hit her again when Tracy rushed over to stop him, “Arnold, stop! Don’t hit Sheila; there must be some reasons she can’t explain!”
Arnold snorted in disgust, “What reasons? I see she’s willing to do anything to climb up the ladder! Tracy, this is the daughter you raised! You two have completely dishonored the Mendoza family! From now on, you both stay at home; no one is allowed out!”
Arnold didn’t want to see Tracy and her daughter anymore. He huffed coldly and went upstairs.
Tracy quickly helped Sheila up and asked anxiously, “Sheila, are you okay?”
Sheila collapsed into Tracy’s arms, crying, “Mom, how could this happen? How did these things become a trending topic? I’m so humiliated!”
