A Surprising Twist of Fates (Sierra and Theo) novel Chapter 226

Sierra took a deep breath, calming herself before reaching out to stop Madison. "That's enough, Maddy. You won't win against bots."

Madison sent one last scathing reply before looking up. "Bots?"

Sierra nodded, pointing at a few of the most aggressive accounts. "These were all created recently. They've never followed me, but they're attacking me the hardest.

"And then there are a few 'anonymous sources' leaking things about me from campus. Whoever hired these bots is probably someone from campus."

Madison scrolled through the comments again. Now that Sierra mentioned it, the pattern was obvious.

"These people are garbage," she muttered. "Same classmates, but instead of supporting you, they're throwing you under the bus."

Sierra stood up, heading to her closet. As she searched for an outfit, she commented, "I don't know who's behind the bots yet, but Benson's post needs to come down. He has to make a public statement clearing our relationship."

If she let this go, she would never shake the image of being a "cheater" who got in through connections. Even if she won the championship, no one would respect her.

She refused to carry that false reputation any longer.

She was going to confront Benson.

At Oceanea Starline Media, Benson sat in his office, unable to focus on his work. Every few minutes, he checked his phone.

"Why isn't Cee calling me? Didn't she see my post?"

Reagan entered, arms full of documents, only to find Benson staring blankly at his phone.

Raegan hesitated. Should he tell Benson that his post had only made things worse? That Sierra was now getting even more hate online?

One glance at Benson's sour expression and he decided—nope. Not worth getting yelled at.

Not long after, the office went silent as soon as Sierra walked in.

Everyone had seen the news. Some were just curious to see the drama unfold, while others genuinely felt bad for her.

"Sierra, are you here to see Mr. Benson?"
