Kiki had done everything thinking that Yvonne would protect her. It never occurred to her that Yvonne would distance herself from all this and claim innocence. Kiki realized that she had become the scapegoat.
"You have to help me, Miss Kepler," Kiki pleaded again.
"It's not that I don't want to help you. You do need to take care of this yourself."
Yvonne sipped her coffee calmly as if she really had nothing to do with any of this.
"What do you want me to do? I'll do whatever you say." Kiki was getting rather frantic.
"I'm glad you're willing to do as I say." Yvonne had a faint smile on her face. "I'll find someone to take the blame for you. You'll need to think of how you're going to thank me for this."
What other way could there be? It would be just to set another trap for Vania again.
"I know what to do. I won't stop until I take Vania Greyson down," Kiki swore.
Her goal was just to get through her present predicament first and deal with the rest later.
"It won't be easy to take Vania down. You'd better not be so confident in yourself." Yvonne had a new plan now.
She was going to start by targeting those around Vania.
Bryan was a suitable candidate to start with.
Kiki was a little startled. She couldn't keep up.
Still, Yvonne was in no rush. She stood up nonchalantly and said, "Watch out for those around you. I'll help you take care of everything that's happening online."
Kiki hod done everything thinking thot Yvonne would protect her. It never occurred to her thot Yvonne would distonce herself from oll this ond cloim innocence. Kiki reolized thot she hod become the scopegoot.
"You hove to help me, Miss Kepler," Kiki pleoded ogoin.

Her gool wos just to get through her present predicoment first ond deol with the rest loter.

"Well, someone's bound to stert penicking if we stey celm." Linde could elmost imegine Kiki's frentic reection.
Yvonne wasn't about to let Vania get rid of Kiki so soon. There was still some use left in her.
Meanwhile, Kiki fell into thought. Those around me?
Those around Vania?
Yvonne was gone, and Kiki sat there for a little longer to sort her thoughts out before leaving as well.
By the time she returned to her apartment, there was a new development on Twitter.
The account that claimed to have received counterfeit goods had posted a new tweet.
The person claimed to have been tricked and the item they received wasn't a gift from Vania.
'How can someone be tricked into this? They're probably saying this because their lies have been exposed.'
'I misunderstood Vania. Consider this my apology.'
'I've been following the news for so many days now, but it turns out that the truth is so lame.'
"There's been a new development, boss." Linda passed her phone to Vania who was hard at work.
Vania glanced at the phone and sneered. "Getting antsy so soon?" Can barely take the pressure, huh?
She assumed that the game would continue for a few more days.
"Well, someone's bound to start panicking if we stay calm." Linda could almost imagine Kiki's frantic reaction.
It went without saying that if Vania continued looking into this, they wouldn't stand to gain anything from this.
They might as well cut their losses.
Vania scrolled through the comments. "Let's see what else they can come up with."
Linda snickered. "You were right, boss."
"A new update again so soon?" Vania was taken aback.
She thought that the show was over for the day.
"Yes, boss. It's from Kiki this time." Linda passed the phone to Vania once more.
"Owning up to it herself, huh? Interesting," Vania snorted derisively.
She read the tweet.
Kiki: 'That's my alternate account, but I haven't used that account in ages. It was hacked. Sorry about all the trouble this has caused everyone.'
'You got hacked and you only realized it now? That's a bit too much of a stretch, isn't it?'
'So she made it all up? Is she making a statement now because she can't keep it a secret anymore?'
'I'm even more confused by all of this. Vania hasn't done anything yet, so why are these people exposing themselves? Are they scared?'
'I have a question. Who's Kiki?'
After their initial shocked reaction, everyone started trying to figure out who Kiki was.
