Chapter 6 Let's See How She Fares Then!

In less than thirty seconds, Twitter went down.

The users who had been relentlessly targeting Nora vanished from her page and congregated on Kaitlin's tweet instead, bombarding it with comments.

"Holy crap! Kay is back? Does this mean she's making a comeback?"

"It sure looks like it! Oasis Studio's official account just announced Kay's return!!!"

"This hints at a deeper saga between Nora Andrews and Lilliana Willis. I'm putting my money on Kay!"

Meanwhile, some of Lilliana's supporters were less than thrilled and began targeting Kay. "Who on earth is this nobody? I've never heard of her!"

"She's definitely leeching off Lilliana's fame! Or maybe she's just Nora Andrews' minion trying to salvage her reputation!"

Yet, their critiques were swiftly met with responses.

"Kay needs to ride on the fame of some lame designer? Are you serious? She's already a titan in the world of jewelry design! She was the youngest ever to snag a world-class award, all before she turned twenty-five!"

"Your idol's work? Mere decorations. But Kay's pieces? They're national treasures, one of which is showcased in one of the most famous museums in the world, you know?"

Within moments, the tide of online opinion turned because of Kaitlin's tweet. Those who had been criticizing Nora shifted stance, now demanding proof from the project team.

At the Willis family's old mansion, atop the highest floor, Lilliana seethed with rage upon reading the tweets.

"Who is this Kay and how dare she sabotage my plans!"

She hurled a cup across the room, its shards scattering and striking a nearby maid, who remained silent.

After her outburst, Lilliana composed herself and made a call.

"Tell the project leader to tweet that Nora seduced him. And put up those photos from that night!"

But the reply she got was not what she anticipated. "Miss Willis, that's not possible... The entire video from that day has been leaked. Now, the project leader is being accused of sexual harassment!"

Lilliana's face drained of color as she reloaded Twitter and saw the trending hashtag #Nora'sComeback.

Top influencers in the jewelry industry were all sharing the video, along with several gossip sites that boasted millions of followers. They had all posted the video across various platforms.

How could this be happening?

She had orchestrated everything perfectly to tarnish Nora's reputation, even having the project leader get Nora drunk to take compromising photos as alleged proof of her misconduct.

After Nora was blacklisted, Lilliana had made certain all videos were erased. Yet, somehow, one had surfaced.

While she watched it, terror-stricken, her phone rang again. The caller was the project leader who had conspired with her against Nora.

"Miss Willis, you must help me! If things continue like this, my company is done for! I only sided with you because of Mr. Hewitt. If you don't act now, I'll be forced to reveal everything!"

Lilliana's expression darkened. She terminated the call and tried reaching Alan, but he didn't pick up.

At that moment, Alan was smashing his phone to pieces.

"How dare she!" he seethed.

Sitting at his desk, he scowled at the divorce papers.

Alan had dismissed Kaitlin's threats of divorce as mere posturing, yet here were the official papers in his office, and she had even hung up on him.

Did she honestly believe she could manage alone?

She was clueless and couldn't secure a decent job on her own. "How dare she file for divorce!" he fumed.

His assistant, noticing the remnants of the phone on the floor, paused before speaking. "Should I find out where Mrs. Hewitt might be...?"

"Find out what? Let her struggle on her own!" Alan's voice was biting. "Freeze her account! Let's see how she fares then!"

The assistant flinched at the iciness in Alan's tone, nodded, and quickly left the office.
