Chapter 458 It Made the News

Charlotte hung up the phone and immediately searched the news on her smartphone.

The bold headline popped up, grabbing her attention: [Reckless Lane-Switching: If You Drive Like This, Maybe Just Stay Off the Road! True Road Menace!]

When Charlotte clicked on the link, she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her.

High-definition footage from a roadside camera clearly captured the entire incident of Lydia cutting in and changing lanes aggressively.

Worse yet, the camera also managed to get a clear shot of Lydia’s face!

The comments beneath the article were overwhelmingly critical.

“Is she looking for an accident or just trying to cause trouble on purpose? Is this driving or playing with death?”

“This lady’s driving is straight out of the ‘petty revenge’ playbook.”

“Wait, why does she look so familiar? Isn’t she some rich heiress? Hang on, isn’t this Dalton’s wife?”

No one expected this incident to be picked up by the police and turned into a public example on the news.

What made it even worse was that the internet users had even uncovered Lydia’s identity!

Charlotte glared at Lydia in disbelief. Unable to contain her anger, she lunged at her, ready to tear her apart.

“Lydia! You’ve caused so much trouble! If you want to embarrass yourself, fine! But now you’ve dragged the whole family down with you!

“We’ve completely lost face!”

The scene outside the operating room was chaotic. Morton tried to calm things down. “Alright, what’s the point of fighting among ourselves? We’re only making a spectacle of ourselves.”

“Making a spectacle? Since this woman came into our lives, have we had any fewer scandals? And as for Cameron, who does she think she is? If Lydia hadn’t done something so foolish, would Cameron have dared to look down on me?” Charlotte fumed.

Charlotte had always looked down on Cameron for being petty and small-minded. She’d been at odds with her for most of her life, and Cameron had never had the upper hand.

But this time, with Cameron’s mocking jabs, Charlotte found herself at a loss for words.

“This has to be someone’s doing! I can’t swallow this!” Charlotte muttered angrily.

Losing her grandchild was already a bitter pill to swallow, but now the whole family had become a laughingstock on the internet. Charlotte could already picture herself becoming the subject of gossip among the wealthy ladies at her social gatherings.

Dalton married Lydia, who turned out to be an illegitimate daughter, and after much effort, she got pregnant only to lose the child in the most humiliating way.

“It’s Chandler! It must be him! He’s the only one capable of doing this!” Charlotte declared.

Charlotte believed that since Meryl had suffered in this situation, Chandler couldn’t swallow his anger, so he deliberately leaked the video to the public to embarrass them!

Morton was immediately struck by Charlotte’s suggestion.

“How dare he! This isn’t just an attack on us. It’s an attempt to destroy the reputation of the Aniston family! I’m going to tell Father! He won’t just stand by this time!”

Without waiting, Morton took out his phone to call Dylan.

But even before he could dial, Dylan already knew about the situation.

Dylan, retired and with plenty of free time, enjoyed playing chess and reading the news.

Just that morning, he’d been watching TV after a meal, and this very news story had popped up on the screen.

When Dylan summoned Chandler to the Aniston Villa, he confronted him directly, “Was it you who leaked this to the news? Just to defend your wife, you’re willing to drag the Aniston family’s reputation through the mud?”

Chandler replied calmly, “The Aniston family’s reputation? If you turn a blind eye to some people’s reckless behavior, then that’s what truly ruins our family’s good name.”

“What do you mean by that? Are you saying you have a problem with me?” Dylan’s voice rose, his anger visibly boiling over.
