The officials present, however, remained indifferent and did not come to his aid. Jeff’s actions were so repulsive that no one could bring themselves to support him.
Lise hesitated; despite her reluctance, she couldn’t ignore that Jeff was her father. Ignoring him might attract negative remarks.
With a look of fake concern, she helped Jeff up, then turned to Katelyn with tears in her eyes.
“Katelyn, how could you treat him this way? He’s your father, after all!”
Katelyn’s smirk was tinged with scorn as she said, “Father? Is he worthy of that title?” Had their relationship not been bound by blood, Katelyn would have acted much sooner.
Lise was left speechless by Katelyn’s cutting words.
Disregarding their protests, Katelyn faced the officials and instructed, “Please verify which works Lise plagiarized and release an announcement on Twitter. Proceed as necessary.”
Katelyn had no intention of getting involved, but their provocations left her no choice. They had crossed the line, and now they had to face the consequences of her ruthlessness.
Upon receiving Katelyn’s signal, the officials quickly confirmed their readiness.
“Understood, Miss Bailey. One moment, please.”
In comparison to Katelyn, the Bailey family seemed utterly outclassed and ineffectual.
Frozen in shock, Lise blurted out, “Katelyn, how could you? Why won’t you help me? You’re ruining the Bailey family!”
In a panic, Jeff got back on his feet and made another desperate attempt to attack Katelyn.

By then, security personnel deployed by the officials were already on the scene. They intervened promptly, suppressing Jeff and sternly warning him, “Stay still, or we’re taking you to the police station.”
Just then, Sharon burst onto the scene, unleashing a rant against Katelyn.
“You ungrateful bitch, we saved you from destitution! How dare you bite the hand that feeds you? You deserve to suffer for this betrayal!”
Katelyn was shocked by the twisted values of this family. She pressed her tongue against her throbbing cheek once more and said, “Bite the hand that feeds me? Fine, let’s see what that truly means.”
The barrage of wild accusations and disgusting insults had exhausted her patience. Why should she tolerate such treatment any longer? Pulling out her phone, Katelyn dialed the tax authorities.
“Hello, I wish to report the Bailey Group for tax evasion.”
At that moment, Jeff was completely stunned. He couldn’t believe that Katelyn had actually reported him for tax evasion. His anger reached a boiling point, and with a burst of fury, he charged at Katelyn. But before he could reach her, a group of security guards grabbed him and held him back.
“Katelyn, you’re going to regret this!” he yelled.
More than anyone else, he understood what this meant. If the tax authorities got involved, the Bailey Group would be finished. The group’s finances were in such disarray that even their books couldn’t be made sense of.
