Chapter 1599 Insisting on Courting Death
Elara felt like her whole body had turned to jelly. She clutched her phone, slowly sliding down the wall, tears streaming down her face.
The Reed family members were still pounding on her door. "Elara, have you seen the news? The Reed family's shares have tanked again. You really need to apologize publicly; you went too far."
"There are over five million hate comments online, and the shareholders are pissed. If you don't speak up soon, the higher-ups might start investigating the Reed family."
Elara hugged her knees, her shoulders shaking. "I won't apologize! I absolutely won't apologize to that bitch!"
The people outside the door were furious upon hearing this.
At a time like this, how could she still be acting like a child?
"Fine, if you don't apologize, the Reed family will announce that you're being kicked out. From now on, your actions will have nothing to do with the Reed family. Take care of yourself."
In a big family, there was no such thing as familial love. Elara had a brother.
Now, because of her actions, her brother's position in the family was affected, and her parents naturally had to make a choice.
Elara stared in disbelief, momentarily unsure how to cry.
How could they do this? When she first returned to the country, everyone in the family adored her.
When they found out she was going to marry Paul, everyone congratulated her, but now everything had changed.
She suddenly opened the door and ran downstairs, only to find most of the Reed family members there, their faces grim.
Elara was no longer the high and mighty heiress. She wiped the tears from her cheeks. "I'll apologize. I'll apologize right now."
If she was kicked out of the Reed family, all her bank cards would be frozen.
With so many people cursing her, if she ended up on the streets, she'd likely face humiliation and abuse.
But after she said this, no one responded.
She had a bad feeling. She cautiously reached out, trying to grab her mother's sleeve, but her mother just moved aside.
"Didn't you just say you wouldn't apologize? The Reed family has already announced that we're cutting ties with you. You'll need to move out soon."
Elara's pupils shrank, and she stepped back several paces in shock.
She looked at the familiar faces in front of her, suddenly feeling they were strangers. Weren't they her family?
How could they abandon her so quickly?
Now, Elara was truly scared, shaken by their coldness.
She suddenly knelt down, her whole body trembling. "Please, don't do this. I beg you, don't do this. I'll really apologize. Isn't it just apologizing to Selena? I'll post on Twitter and apologize publicly right now."
But the Reed family members' faces remained cold.
"Besides apologizing to Selena, you need to apologize to the foreign student who died. Do you know that just ten minutes ago, the student's parents dug up the old case files and publicly accused you of bullying their child?"
The student was the hope of their entire family, with parents who scrimped and saved to send their child abroad for education, only for them to end up jumping off a building.
This incident had some attention back then, but with the Reed family's intervention, there was no suspicion online. People even blamed the student for being too mentally fragile and not understanding their parents, leading to their death in a foreign country.
Now that the incident had resurfaced, netizens finally understood the suffering the deceased had endured.
If the Reed family didn't push Elara out, their stocks would likely plummet to appease the public's anger.
The Reed family members were all fed up with Elara. If she hadn't bullied Ann, if she hadn't stolen Ann's dog, none of this would have happened.
She could have just married Paul peacefully, but she had to go and ruin everything.
