They Chose the Wrong Child to Threaten—Her Mother Owned Everything Around Them!

I spent $500 million building a private estate with a heated swimming pool only because my daughter Nell has mild asthma and her [snorts] doctor recommended swimming to improve her cardopulmonary function. For safety, I also hired a professional manager at a high salary to handle daily disinfection.

 A $und00 million contract could wait. Nell’s summer pool party couldn’t, only to find Nell locked inside the tool shed from the outside. >> [snorts] >> Mom, who did this? Blair Mason said the estate was her family’s and that I was just a beggar mooching off them. They held me underwater. I couldn’t breathe. [gasps] They locked me away, saying I didn’t belong at the party.

 Today, everyone here who hurt my daughter, not one of them will get away through the tall floor to ceiling. Who are you? Are you blind? Can’t you see the sign at the door saying Blair’s private pool? No trespassing. Take off my daughter’s swimsuit and get out. An old woman who can’t even afford jewelry dares to mess with me.

 Know whose estate this is? My father’s. You dirtied his private pool. You’ll never afford the damages. private pool, my estate, my pool. Since when were they theirs? >> Drag her and her sickly daughter out of here. >> I ignored her and looked for Gavin. He was nowhere at his post. I called. His phone was off. Oh, look who it is.

 Did that pool parasite crawl out on her own? Exactly. She doesn’t belong here. >> Asthma. How troubleome. >> Her eyes told me everything. Nell was gentle and reserved by nature. I hid her identity to protect her. My silence only hurt her. Don’t be afraid. Mom is here. Go call the estate steward Elias. Nobody’s leaving until I uncover the truth.

What’s going on? Dear Blarry, are you okay? Were you frightened? Megan, you came just in time. Me up. She even claimed she built this estate. Ridiculous. >> I’m no beggar. My mother built it. Nell, shut up. You’re just a guest. Leave this estate now. Leave before your illness ruins the party.

 Nel’s mom, take Nelkud and leave now. Don’t embarrass yourself here. Do you know who Blair’s father is? He owns this estate. He runs a hundred billion dollar empire. Apologize to Blair or deal with her father. Vero Group CEO me. Are you sure? Gavin Marson owns it. Lena Quill is the heir and she’s a woman. A beggar. People like you don’t belong here. You’re all lying.

My mother is the real owner of Vero Estate. That’s enough. You’re here to ruin the party. Security. Remove them now. >> Try touching her. Mom, a crazy woman is causing trouble, [gasps] SAYING SHE WANTS MY PRIVATE POOL. >> In fancy clothes arrived. She wrote me a check and threw it at my feet. Take this.

 Get the best medicine for your sick daughter today. You both kneel and apologize to Blair or I’ll erase you from London. Madam, please calm down. I have called the state security. Throw these two out now. Your husband owns Vero. What’s his name? Who are you? Are you deserve to know his name? >> I knew I wouldn’t get anything out of her.

Get Nell’s pool records from last month. Entry and equipment logs. All of them. Nell had been bullied for a long time. The pool had deeper secrets. My assistant emailed me shortly after. The attachment shattered my last bit of restraint. My private pool had become Megan’s club. She bypassed access control, recruited rich kids, and charged $3,000 an hour.

They made $300,000 in a month off my assets. Megan, whose account got the money? Mrs. Colleen opened the pool. Who are you to act like you own it? Delete them now or I will call the police. Exactly. They know nothing about elite circles. I suggested this club. Now you’re challenging the Vero group. Elias knew my true identity.

Elias, be here in 5 minutes or your fraud scandal goes public. Darling, come to the estate right away. [laughter] A crazy woman is trying to kick us out. My husband’s coming. Neil and Cocoa. or face the consequences. >> You’re only after my inheritance, aren’t you? You’re not fit to shine my shoes. Parasite.

 You contaminated the pool and caused my rash. I’m not a parasite. My mom built this pool. Shut up. [sighs and gasps] NO. [screaming] MOM. >> GAVIN, YOU’RE HERE. Look what she did. Gavin Mason, the manager. I paid $5,000 a month to keep Nell safe. >> Darling, it’s this crazy woman. She ruined your pool and impersonated the air. Tell security to kick them out.

>> Gavin basked in the praise and admiration around him. Gavin saw me and froze. How could he not recognize me? But vanity ultimately overcame fear. >> Mrs. Lena, please save my face. My family is watching. Just play along once. I’ll return the money. Please don’t expose me. >> I held Nell trembling in my arms and found it.

Don’t expose you. You took my money, used my pool, and posed as the owner. Your negligence nearly killed my daughter, and you still dare ask for mercy? [sighs] >> You hit the owner of Vero Estate? SECURITY, GET [screaming] HER. YOU DO arrest her. Call the police. I’ll make sure she GOES TO PRISON. GET HER OUT OF MY SIGHT NOW. Move now.

DEAL WITH these two today or else. Tomorrow I’ll pull the funds and fire Elias. >> Drag them out. Don’t disturb Gavin. >> She rolled up her sleeves and lunged at me. I stared them down without backing off. STOP. EVERYONE STOP RIGHT NOW. >> ELIAS, you’re here. Look at these lowbloods. Gavin is furious.

 Throw them out or you’re fired. He shoved Colleen aside and rushed over. >> Miss Quill, I am so sorry I’m late. I’ve failed in my duty by frightening you and Miss Nell. ELIAS, HAVE YOU GONE SEEN? The owner of Vero Estate is right here. WHY BOW to her? Did she bewitch you? >> Estate owner? He’s just Miss Lena’s $5,000 a month pool manager. You fools.

Miss Lena Quill is the sole owner of Vero Estate and this pool. >> What did you say? Colleen, I I was wrong. [snorts] I’m just a manager. I lied because I feared you’d look down on me. [laughter and gasps] [panting] That was all dirty money from the pool. AND SO WHAT? I HAVE MONEY. I’LL BUY IT. It’ll still be my daughter’s pool.

>> Fine, let’s settle the score. And Jonathan Reed arrived with two police officers. I wrapped Nell up and handed her to the care team. Jonathan, begin. >> First, embezzlement and fraud. Megan Bell abused Miss Lena Quill’s private facilities, forged access permits, and sold club memberships to outsiders.

 Over 4 months, the amount exceeded $120,000. Gavin took $42,000. Officers, the evidence is all here. Transfers, forged passes, and member statements. >> NO, [screaming] COLLEEN MADE ME DO IT. SHE SAID GAVIN’S INHERITANCE WOULD COVER ME. >> You are a disgrace to this estate. Gavin Mason is charged with fraud and gross negligence after Nell nearly drowned on his watch regarding attempted intentional injury.

The screen lit up showing what happened 10 minutes ago. Blair pushed Nell into the deep end while Colleen held me back when I tried to save her. >> Miss Colleen, your daughter will be prosecuted for intentional injury. You’ll also face charges for obstructing the rescue. [gasps] >> I’ll pay 5 million, 10 million.

>> Miss Colleen, wake up. We have all your financial records. No property, no trust assets. The black card is fake and you owe over $300,000. Your social image is all debt. You have no money. >> Miss Lena, I was wrong. Please take them away. The sirens faded and the pool fell silent. Elias put my neckdaughter’s life at risk and betrayed my trust.

 You failed in your duty. As of today, you’re stripped of your authority and fired. Blair’s fate took a complete turn. Her hair halo was gone and she became an outcast in high society. Blair couldn’t withstand the pressure and soon disappeared from public view. Gavin Mason was jailed for 2 years for fraud and negligence. Colleen faced prison for fraud and attempted injury.

 Her loans all defaulted. I didn’t care anymore. My new chapter had already begun. I used the family trust to buy an island and build a secure seaside estate. I personally upgraded the estate security and reorganized the steward team. I wanted Nell to grow up safe and happy. 6 months later, on a sunny summer afternoon, I sat on the terrace holding a cup of black tea.

 Nell’s glasswalled infinity pool sparkled nearby in the sun. Nell surfaced in her light blue swimsuit, laughing like a mermaid. After leaving the old estate, she became happier and her asthma rarely flared up. Her cheeks were rosy again. Kindness is meant for those who deserve it. For the unrepentant, losing everything they stole is the best punishment.

 Half a year later, Nell met the doctor’s health standards. She couldn’t stay protected forever. She had to return to school. It was a 300-year-old elite academy for the heirs of nobility and business leaders worldwide. Remember, Nell, you’re no longer that scared little girl. You’re the heir of Vero Estate. Never bow to anyone. The headmaster welcomed me and signed a $100 million anonymous lab donation agreement with me.

 I let Nell attend the freshman tea party alone to build her independence. I thought Nell would be respected at such a prestigious academy, but I underestimated their arrogance and cruelty. Half an hour later, I walked alone to the glass conservatory. The laughter inside immediately alarmed me. Through the glass door, I saw Nell standing alone by the table, teastained her skirt.

 A blonde girl in cotur stood opposite her, looking arrogant. So you’re nilqu, the countryside transfer student. I heard you. You were once held underwater and nearly drowned in a private pool. A dozen well-dressed youths gathered around openly at her. >> She’s so tacky. Why would the school admit a Nuvo Reach’s daughter? She has an asthma insulator. Stay away from her.

She’s bad luck. >> Nell didn’t cry or cower like she did 6 months ago. She straightened up and calmly wiped away the teastain. She raised her head and met the blonde girl’s eyes fearlessly. Is throwing hot tea what you call noble manners? Those rumors only expose your ignorance. Doubt me? Check Vero Group’s reports.

 Don’t act like a clown. [gasps] How dare you know your place, commoner? [laughter and gasps] I’m Agatha Horn, daughter of Earl Richard Horn, an Academy board member. One word from me and you’re gone. >> Agatha angrily tore the sapphire crest brooch from Nell’s uniform. The brooch fell onto the marble floor with a tearing sound.

Agatha stomped on the sapphire, crushing it under her heel. A worthless trinket. And you dare flaunt it here? GIVE IT BACK. >> Agatha signaled. The glass shattered, sending sharp shards raining down near the door. I entered the conservatory coldly. >> Mom, I didn’t cry. I told her off just now. >> You did wonderfully, my darling.

Who are you? Some crazy woman [gasps] [panting] security. GET HER OUT [screaming] NOW. >> I ignored her and looked at the scratched sapphire brooge bur on the floor. Move your foot, then pick it up and wipe it clean. Who are you to command me? TAKE YOUR TRASH AND LEAVE THIS SCHOOL. YOU DARE TO HIT MAR OF THE HORN FAMILY, I’LL KILL YOU.

>> DAD, bring people to the conservatory now. A CRAZY WOMAN HIT ME. I WANT HER DEAD. [screaming] >> THE DEAN rushed in with security. [gasps] Seeing Agatha crying on the floor, the dean rushed over to help her up. >> “Miss Agatha, are you all right? >> How dare you ATTACK A BOARD MEMBER’S DAUGHTER AT ST.

 MORITZ ACADEMY? DO YOU KNOW WHAT TROUBLE YOU’RE IN?” >> I watched him coldly with no intention of explaining. Minutes later, hurried footsteps echoed outside the conservatory. Earl Richard Jvers arrived with bodyguards. He looked arrogant and superior. >> WHO TOUCHED MY DAUGHTER ON MY TERRITORY? [laughter] >> No commoner may disrespect the Horn family. One minute.

Kneel and apologize to my daughter. >> Otherwise, you and your daughter will lose everything. >> DO IT NOW, [screaming] EARL. Richard can destroy you effortlessly. >> Commoner Nuvo Ree Earl Richard, you’re still living in the past glory of old money. You no longer know who is truly in control. Hurried footsteps sounded outside the conservatory.

 Jonathan Reed entered with 10 top lawyers. >> Sorry, boss. The payment verification took three extra minutes. >> Skip the formalities. Show him the truth. >> Mr. Horn, your territory needs redefining. Ver Group has a an 85% controlling stake in the foundation behind St. Maurice Academy. Miss Lena Quill is now the academyy’s sole controller.

>> Jonathan’s cold words struck Richard like a hammer. >> IMPOSSIBLE. THIS IS HORN FAMILY PROPERTY. THESE DOCUMENTS ARE FAKE. >> Still in denial, though. The Horn family went bankrupt 5 years ago. You embezzed 40 millions from the academy to cover your gambling debts. Your family trust defaulted last month. Vero Group bought all your distressed debt. You’re no longer a board member.

You’re just Vero Group’s debtor. >> Jonathan’s words exposed Richard’s carefully built facade. No one knew the Horn family was already bankrupt. She finally realized she had provoked the wrong person. >> Daddy, he’s lying. Right. [screaming] >> Agatha screamed and collapsed. The earl threatened me was now begging at my feet and I felt nothing but indifference.

You are firedly banned from St. Morse Academy. Throw them out now. Security took Richard and Agatha. [screaming] Nell’s mockers fell silent, fearing my anger. >> Head was covered in cold sweat. His old money pride collapsed under the crushing financial pressure. >> Miss Squil, [laughter] >> I didn’t know it was you.

 I apologize for Agatha’s. Please spare my dignity. [laughter] The gem was scratched, but its light remained unbroken. Remember Nil, true dignity comes from character, not bloodline or cruelty. Stand tall. With me here, no one can make you bow. >> I remember, Mom. No one will ever humiliate us again. >> The malice that hurt hurt us would eventually be buried in ruins.

A brighter road awaited us ahead.
