Dumped Today Married Tomorrow: My Overnight Wedding to a Tycoon novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22

When Anastasia arrived at the Kingsley estate, the tension in the air was suffocating.

Sharpson sat on the living room sofa looking absolutely murderous, his face darker than a storm

cloud.

Whitney stood nearby in an expensive silk dress, her expression tense but keeping her mouth shut.

Valeria sat hunched on the opposite sofa, pale and clearly having already been through the wringer.

With the viral scandal all over social media, she knew she’d fucked up royally.

“There you are, you little troublemaker,” Sharpson’s voice could have frozen Hell itself as his eyes

bore into Anastasia.

Anastasia looked at him with complete indifference. “What do you want?”

Her tone was flat, like she was talking to a complete stranger.

Actually, in Anastasia’s mind, Sharpson ranked lower than a stranger.

Thinking about how he and his mistress had destroyed her mother made her blood boil with hatred.

‘I’m your father! What kind of attitude is that?” Sharpson’s voice boomed with fake authority.

‘Pretty sure we severed all ties years ago. Say what you need to say or I’m leaving.” Anastasia’s voice

was arctic.

‘You ungrateful little bitch!” Sharpson slammed his fist on the coffee table, making the whole room shake. “You have the nerve to ask what this is about? Look at the mess you’ve created! You’ve destroyed the Kingsley family name!”

Anastasia had expected exactly this reaction.

She laughed coldly, meeting his glare head–on. “The mess I created? Dad, are you completely delusional? The security footage clearly shows Valeria dragging me into that pool. How exactly is

that my fault?”

Sharpson’s face turned even redder. Of course he’d seen the footage, but he didn’t give a damn about

the truth–he only cared about the family’s reputation.

This whole viral shitstorm had to be Anastasia’s doing somehow.

There was no way it would’ve blown up this big naturally.

That ungrateful little bitch should’ve been strangled at birth.

Valeria’s behavior had already dragged the family through the mud, and instead of quietly handling damage control, Anastasia had let it explode across every social media platform.

Seeing Anastasia’s complete lack of remorse made his blood pressure spike even higher.

“Stop making excuses!” Sharpson roared. “Valeria is your sister! Even if she made a mistake, you should’ve covered for her as the older sibling! Instead, you let this become a global scandal! Do you

have any idea what people are saying about the Kingsley family?”

Listening to this bullshit, Anastasia felt nothing but cold contempt.

This was her father–a selfish, narcissistic piece of shit who’d never cared about anyone but himself.

“I’m an only child,” Anastasia said icily. “My mother only had one daughter. Valeria is a grown woman who should face the consequences of her actions.”

“As for the family reputation, if you’re embarrassed, maybe ask Valeria why she pulled such a stupid stunt in the first place.”

‘You little-!” Sharpson was shaking with rage, his pointing finger trembling.

Whitney quickly stepped in to defuse the situation. “Sharpson, calm down. Ana didn’t mean to cause rouble. We can figure this out together.”

‘Figure it out? How?” Sharpson exploded. “The whole internet is dragging Valeria through the mud, and our family name is ruined! Tell me how we fix this!”

Valeria finally broke down crying. “Daddy, I know I messed up… I just lost my temper for a second. I

never thought it would blow up like this…”

It was all that bitch Anastasia’s fault. If she hadn’t been so high and mighty, none of this would’ve happened.

Anastasia watched this performance with complete detachment.

She knew Valeria’s tears were pure theater–the same manipulative bullshit she’d been pulling for years while Sharpson enabled her.

“Ana…” Whitney turned to her with fake desperation. “Could you maybe post something to help clear this up? Just say it was all a misunderstanding between sisters, that you were just playing around…”

“A misunderstanding? Playing around?” Anastasia actually laughed out loud. “Do you think the entire internet is brain–dead? Valeria dragged me into that pool, and now she’s getting dragged online. She earned every bit of this backlash.”

Whitney’s face turned purple with embarrassment and rage.

Sharpson was practically foaming at the mouth. “Anastasia! Don’t forget you’re still a Kingsley!”

Anastasia stared at him with pure disgust. “Actually, I’d love to change my last name. If this is why you called me here, sorry–can’t help you.”

“And don’t contact me again. Being around you two makes me physically sick.”

With that, she turned and walked out without looking back.

e’d come here to make her position crystal clear: she wasn’t the same pushover they used to manipulate.

Sharpson was literally shaking with fury, his chest heaving.

He shot Valeria a withering glare before storming off to his study.

Valeria shrank into the sofa, not daring to make a sound.

Once Sharpson was gone, Valeria’s mask dropped completely. “Mommy, I want that bitch dead.”

Everything that happened today was Anastasia’s fault.

Whitney’s hands were clenched so tight her veins were showing.

“Don’t worry, sweetheart. I won’t let that little whore get away with this.”

She’d underestimated Anastasia before, but apparently the girl had serious connections to make something go this viral.

Impressive. And dangerous.

Valeria bit her lip thoughtfully. “Mommy, what if we just… eliminated the problem permanently? We

could have her kidnapped, get some guys to rape her, film the whole thing. Once we release those

photos, Jasper would never touch her again. No man wants damaged goods.”
