The Reverse Guilt Trip

Rachel Sullivan

Summary

Description：
On the night she wins the prestigious Young Artist Award, Selene's triumph is hijacked. The host, Cyrus, unveils a 'surprise'—the biological parents who abandoned her as an infant, now weeping on stage to claim her success. They try to bind her with the chains of filial duty and public shame. But Selene has a secret weapon: she plays by their rules, only better. With the cameras rolling and the world watching, she masterfully turns their emotional manipulation against them. What begins as a tearful plea for reunion spirals into a spectacular showdown of reverse psychological warfare. Selene is determined to protect the only father she's ever known—the man who rescued her from a snowbank—and she'll use every tool, including their own toxic guilt, to do it. A sharp, suspenseful tale of justice, family, and the art of fighting fire with fire.

Beyond that, he is an enigma with a hypnotically calm voice and an ebony-and-steel cane.Joshua, who carries out clandestine investigations for the Crown, is equally intrigued. He has a personal interest in Miss Lockwood, a suspected thief and murderer, not to mention a fraudster who claims to have psychical powers.
