My Mommy’s Brave Heart

Chapter 25

The mention of scandals from five years ago caused a huge stir

The Daugherty family was also an important and dignified family in Sea City. It had held a grand banquet for Adina on her eighteenth birthday, which had made countless people envious,

However, the very next day, Adina had been caught sleeping with some man by the reporters.

From then on, the image of the most beautiful woman in Sea City was destroyed, and she ended up becoming a target of scorn

After that, she disappeared from sight for almost a year, and when everyone nearly forgot about the scandal, the Daugherty mansion went up in flames.

Adina‘s crimes were then exposed.

She had slept with a man when she turned eighteen, got pregnant out of wedlock, gave birth to b*stards, went through a difficult labor that led to her children‘s deaths, set the mansion on fire, and jumped into the river to commit suicide.

Each of these things could send the internet into an uproar, so when all of the events were linked together, the storm was even worse.

Adina‘s name had been present in countless headlines for two whole months.
