Chapter 477

Olivia shook her head. "I'm bringing Beatrice here for two reasons." Her voice carried quiet authority. "First, she'll receive better medical care at Mercy Hospital. I've arranged for top specialists to examine her."

She paused, letting the words sink in. "Second, since you're now working for Sinclair Enterprises, it's more practical for you both to stay here at the estate." Olivia's gaze softened. "If Beatrice remained at home while you worked here, you'd be constantly worried. This way, you can focus better."

Evelyn's eyes shimmered with unshed tears. The depth of Olivia's consideration overwhelmed her. She couldn't possibly refuse such generosity.

The medical report came sooner than expected. Beatrice's condition resulted from prolonged malnutrition, but the prognosis was positive. With proper nutrition and care, she would regain her strength completely.

As the court date approached, news of Olivia's lawsuit against Margaret spread rapidly across social media. The scandal dominated every conversation, drawing intense scrutiny toward Margaret and Sinclair Enterprises.

Margaret seized the spotlight, hosting three emotional livestreams daily. She perfected the art of the tearful confession, portraying herself as the helpless victim of corporate bullying.

"My charity work has always been my life's purpose," she sobbed during one broadcast. "I never imagined fighting for basic rights would pit me against such powerful forces."

She accused Olivia of using her wealth and Kensington family connections to manipulate the legal system. "If she succeeds, I'll be blacklisted from philanthropy work," Margaret wept dramatically. "I might even be forced to leave Westhaven forever!"

Her performances were masterful. Each tearful plea ignited her followers' outrage, sending them flooding Sinclair Enterprises' social media with vitriolic comments. They fantasized about confronting Olivia directly, but she'd learned from past experiences.

Despite Margaret's relentless online attacks, Olivia maintained radio silence. Her residence remained an impenetrable secret, frustrating internet sleuths who tried in vain to locate her.

Growing desperate, Margaret resorted to extreme measures. She leaked Olivia's private phone number, only to discover it had been disconnected. The dead end infuriated her.

Then came an unexpected twist. Hackers drawn to the drama uncovered explosive information - but not what Margaret had hoped for. Instead of damaging Olivia, their discovery backfired spectacularly.

"The Kensington family?" one shocked commentator wrote. "Olivia Sinclair is a Kensington? That changes everything."

Uninformed detractors scoffed. "What's so special about them? Just another rich family, right?"

"You clearly don't understand," came the reply. "The Kensingtons aren't just wealthy - they're old money with centuries of influence. They relocated abroad during the last century's conflicts. Their international connections and resources dwarf most domestic fortunes."

The revelation sent shockwaves through the online community. "Margaret picked a fight with someone far beyond her league," one observer noted. "This won't end well for her."

Yet Margaret's most devoted supporters refused to believe the truth. "Kensington family? That's ridiculous!" they protested. "Stop spreading lies to protect that corporate bully!"

The battle lines were drawn, the stage set for a confrontation that would reveal more than anyone anticipated.
