The Fortune-Telling Heiress
Chapter 299

Chapter 299 "But..."

"If I really have to face cyberbullying, then what I need to do isn't run away but confront these people head-on."

Madison looked calmly at Rebecca. "If I try to avoid this, will those who want to harm me back off? No! They'll only become more aggressive because they find joy in their victory over hurting me. And next time, they'll use the same methods against someone else." Although Madison was referring to netizens, Rebecca felt as if she was indirectly referring to her.

She slowly released her grip on Madison's hand.

She said with a dry smile, "That's fine. I'm just trying to look out for you."

"Becky, don't worry about her. A person like her won't appreciate your kindness no matter how much you care for her."

Jason pulled Rebecca back, looking at Madison. "Madison, you're the one who refuses to stop livestreaming, so if you get cyberbullied in the future, don't blame us for not helping you."

Harvey glanced at the people across from him, their faces full of anger and frustration as they stared at Madison.

He felt a heavy weight in his chest.

He took a deep breath and said, "Aren't we supposed to be discussing the issue of the photos and videos?"

Jason replied, looking confused, "Harvey, what else is there to discuss? Didn't Becky just say it was her friends who posted them earlier?" Harvey sneered, "Do you know about this, Mom and Dad? This party was supposed to be media-free, so why did Rebecca agree to let her friends record and post about it?"

Tanya looked at Rebecca.

Rebecca explained, "Harvey, I was actually doing it for Maddie's sake. Everyone in the circle knows I'm a heiress of the Locke family, but they don't know that Maddie is too. If Mom and Dad didn't want the media involved, it wouldn't make much of a difference for Maddie!

"I thought that if people in the entertainment industry posted these videos and photos, the spread would definitely be wide enough. Everyone would know that Maddie and I are sisters and that she's also a heiress of the Locke family." As she spoke, her eyes reddened again, and tears began to fall.

"I had good intentions. How was I supposed to know so many bad things would happen afterward?"

Harvey watched them comfort the sobbing Rebecca again, feeling utterly exhausted. "Then why didn't you stop them from posting the videos and photos after everything happened?"

"Harvey, I was so scared at that moment! I completely forgot! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have forgotten," Rebecca looked at Tanya and the others. "Mom, Dad, Ethan, Jason, it's all my fault. I... I should've stopped them from filming. "If I hadn't been so scared, I would've stopped them from posting the videos and photos.

"I was wrong! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

She cried in grievance, and Tanya quickly hugged her, comforting her by patting her back.

She glared at Harvey. "What exactly do you want? Do you really have to push all the blame to the innocent Becky?"

Ethan was also furious. "Harvey, don't you think you're being biased? Do you remember what you said before? Becky is our sister too. You can't just blame her without any reason."

Jason added, "Harvey, you've changed."

William shook his head, exhaling heavily. "Harvey, I know you're concerned about Maddie, but you can't shift the blame to Becky. What did she do wrong?"

Jason wiped away Rebecca's tears, feeling sorry for her. "If anyone is at fault, it's Madison."

He shot a cold glare at Madison. "If she hadn't gotten involved in that sketchy livestream career and been tempted by a bit of money, would things have spiraled like this? She messed up, and now, she's pinning it on Becky. "Becky meant well. Do you seriously lack that basic judgment?"

Harvey was left speechless.
