Chapter 10 A gift for returning
Seeing Juliet’s delight, Sylvia stayed silent, driving while Juliet busied herself on her phone.
Juliet had long wanted to punish these people over the years, especially Caroline. If not for Sylvia, she would never have let Caroline retain her top status
Plus, they had gathered ample incriminating evidence about her while trying to discourage Sylvia. Authentic proof that would easily ruin Caroline.
Exposing everything at once would immediately crush Caroline. But Juliet preferred a gradual approach, intending to show Caroline the illusion of hope before utterly devastating
her.
Sylvia made no attempts to stop Juliet’s scheming, curious what they had uncovered.
After a while on her phone, Juliet finally grinned in satisfaction. “Done! I’ve prepared some interesting things for her. She’ll be so thankful after reading them.”
Hearing that, Sylvia figured Juliet must have dropped another bombshell. Caroline would likely be weeping in her hospital room after getting terrified by whatever Juliet unleashed.
Just as Sylvia expected, Cyril had barely smoothed things over when several more scandalous news bits about Caroline surfaced, portraying her mistreating assistants, leading one into a depressive state that resulted in a car accident. Yet Caroline did nothing to help as the assistant lay dying.
The public had never been too fond of Caroline, doubtful of her worthiness for the accolades she kept amassing. Many suspected she was propped up. The scandal had been hushed but this new callous behavior further angered netizens.
If she was truly innocent, why the urgent cover–up? Voices that had just quieted down started boiling over, the intensity multiplying rapidly. Caroline’s studio was soon besieged by the incensed crowd, some even showing up in person to confront her.
Oblivious to all this, Caroline had her phone confiscated by Cyril who was trying to shield her from emotional hurt. But seeing the unfolding chaos online left Cyril utterly dismayed. He had barely contained the last issue before this new storm. What else had Caroline been up to abroad to cause such turbulence?
Annoyed but left with no choice, Cyril busied himself trying to handle the spiraling situation. If left unchecked, things would only escalate rapidly.
While Cyril ran around dousing fires, Sylvia’s family was celebrating her return joyously, planning a grand homecoming banquet to welcome her back and show she was the family’s
