She was determined to find out just how far Lucas and Aurora’s limits went—whether Lucas truly didn’t care, or if Aurora was merely putting on a brave front.
Either way, Yvonne’s curiosity burned.
But curiosity alone wouldn’t get her anywhere. The only way to truly expose them was to force their hands, to make them reveal their true colors.
That thought reignited her confidence.
This time, she was certain that she would beat Aurora online, no matter what it took.
If she couldn’t win this round, she’d lose all authority in front of everyone, especially her fans.
And her fans were her greatest weapon. They’d follow her blindly, she knew that much. Aurora didn’t have the reach, the popularity, or the budget to match her.
Yvonne smirked at the memory of their last encounter; just recalling Aurora’s calm, unflinching expression made her blood boil.
Ever since she’d been by Lucas’ side, no one had ever dared make her feel small until Aurora appeared.
At home and abroad, she was always admired, protected, and adored. She ran her own company, had loyal supporters, and never once hit a real obstacle, except for Aurora.
This time, she had to take Lucas back and put Aurora in her place. Only then would things feel right again.
Her thoughts drifted to Edward. He would definitely take her side.
With that assurance, Yvonne finally felt her nerves settle. She fell asleep with a faint smile, confident that by morning, the tide would turn in her favor.
And sure enough, the next day, under Yvonne’s subtle direction, the internet exploded with a wave of intimate photos of her and Lucas.
Megan was the first to see the news. The moment she did, her eyes widened, and she instinctively covered her phone, glancing around to make sure no one else had seen it.
She had always believed that if he hadn’t been involved with Yvonne in the past, he would never be tempted in the future.
But now, with these photos out for everyone to see, what else was there to believe?
Maybe people were right when they said they could never truly know someone’s heart.
The cousin she’d trusted and admired since childhood, someone she thought incapable of betrayal, suddenly felt like a stranger.
A wave of complicated emotions hit her all at once: anger, disbelief, and a deep ache of disappointment.
Because no matter how it started or who was to blame, in situations like this, it was always the woman who suffered most.
The internet never went after the man; they always went for the woman. And this time, the one who would get hurt the most was Aurora.
