Amiee swiftly scanned through the recent news articles, her eyes growing colder with every headline. Handing her phone to Josiah, she said, "Take a look at this!"
Josiah skimmed the text quickly, his brow furrowing with frustration, barely holding back a string of curses.
"Does Estelle know about this?" he asked quietly.
"Even if she doesn't, Mr. Lamont must have a plan," Amiee replied.
"These idiots are begging for trouble!" Josiah gritted his teeth in anger.
Amiee reviewed the timeline of the smear campaign against KING, "Someone's gunning for her. The main angles are her supposed pandering to the foreigners and her ingratitude towards the Macclain family. I'll dig into this 'COCO' character's background."
"Think you'll find anything?" Josiah inquired.
Amiee put the word out in Eagle Valley and within half an hour, she got a hit on COCO's identity and past.
One particular detail caught her attention, and she showed it to Josiah.
A year ago, the Crawley family had hired COCO to design dresses for a fashion show abroad—a fact conspicuously absent from COCO's current Twitter bio.
"Looks like the Crawleys know this COCO," Josiah noted.
"There must have been news about it. Can we still find it?"
Amiee continued her online search. The internet had a long memory; if it was out there once, it could be found.
Soon enough, she unearthed the old promotional materials for COCO's collaboration with the Crawley's modeling agency, now deleted but not beyond her reach.
She also checked the judges for the recent Milan fashion show, finding that two of them had deep ties with the Crawley family.
Amiee traced the original post exposing Estelle's supposed bribe from COCO to an ID in B City, narrowing it down to the Crawley Group headquarters.
