The Roberts family was in turmoil, and at the heart of it all was Sandra Roberts, who had just come home for the holidays. The moment she stepped through the door, she was on a mission to confront her parents about a certain Morwenna. It seemed like Sandra couldn’t go a day without getting irritated by Morwenna’s mere presence.”I mean, can you believe it? Morwenna actually hit me. Twice! And she’s still out there, strutting around like she owns the place. It’s always been me who’s in charge, not the other way around. How dare she lay a finger on me?” Sandra vented to her dad, Malloy Roberts, her agitation clear in her voice.Malloy’s temper flared at the news. “What? Did she hurt you? Are you okay? The nerve of some people, thinking they can mess with a Roberts.””Dad, I’m fine. But what about Morwenna? Have you dealt with her yet?” Sandra pressed, seeking reassurance.Slapping his forehead, Malloy’s guilt was evident. “Oh, I’ve been so caught up with work I forgot. Don’t worry, I’ll make a call. Morwenna won’t be a problem at Rosefrost University for much longer.” “Thank you, Dad. You’re the best.””Well, I’ve only got one precious daughter. Of course, I’d do anything for you.”The Roberts family, though not the wealthiest in Rosefrost Hollow, held a respectable status. They couldn’t compare to the Phillips family, but Sandra’s boldness in picking on Keira Phillips stemmed from her own privileged position at home as the cherished younger sister of an older brother.With Morwenna’s situation presumably handled, Sandra’s spirits lifted. She eagerly anticipated returning to school, imagining Morwenna’s desperate pleas for forgiveness. But little did she know, the tables were about to turn dramatically.Meanwhile, Stuart, closely associated with Morwenna, caught wind of the Roberts’ actions. He had been unaware of the bullying Morwenna faced at school and was now even more determined to protect her. Thinking it might be time to reveal his and Morwenna’s connection, Stuart decided to act.Within an hour, disaster struck the Roberts family. Their stocks plummeted, their company was accused of tax evasion, Sandra’s brother, a judge, was caught in a bribery scandal and imprisoned, and Malloy was exposed for having affairs. High blood pressure got the better of Sandra’s mother amidst the chaos.The once jubilant Sandra was now in shock. Their family, seemingly stable just hours before, was now facing ruin.As the Roberts family gathered, trying to grasp the severity of their situation, Malloy speculated, “I’ve always steered clear of trouble. Who could be targeting us? Have any of you crossed someone recently?” Malloy’s patience wore thin as Sandra hesitantly mentioned her bullying of Keira Phillips, though she doubted the Phillips family’s involvement given their swift and devastating fall from grace.

As realization dawned upon him, Malloy asked with a trembling voice about the name of the student Sandra had wanted expelled from Rosefrost University, suspecting a connection to their sudden misfortune.
