Chloe immediately picked up her phone and opened Twitter. Her expression turned colder by the second.
The editorial assistant Zoe cautiously approached her. "Chloe, is what they're saying online true?"
Others gathered around, their curiosity palpable.
"Chloe, is your mom really Ann?"
"I heard you were there when your mom killed your dad?"
"Chloe, you've never really talked about your family or parents…"
"Everyone, stop. None of this is Chloe's fault."
Linda walked over, her face full of concern. "Chloe, are you okay? Don't let the online stuff get to you. Your parents' lives don't define yours."
It sounded like comfort, but it only confirmed Chloe's unfortunate connection to a dark past.
Chloe turned off her phone and looked up. A smile played on her lips, though her eyes were chillingly cold. "Linda, was it you?"
Linda's expression turned to one of shock and hurt. "Chloe, what are you talking about? I only found out from the news, too."
Chloe's smile deepened, her gaze even colder. "It better not be you, or you know what I'm capable of."
As Linda tried to explain, Tony walked over, his face solemn. "Chloe, your family's situation doesn't concern you, but this has really blown up. The public backlash is severe, and I have to consider the impact on the network. We'll have to give Linda the prime-time host spot for now until this blows over."
