Exit the Catfights Enter the Empire novel Chapter 25

Previously, the internet had been blasting Vickie as a blatant homewrecker.

A famous actress knowingly sleeping with a married man crossed the public's bottom line. Since the scandal broke, the backlash had only escalated, ruining Vickie's reputation entirely.

However, the narrative had drastically shifted. Several lengthy PR articles were circulating, claiming that the trending topics were entirely false.

They alleged that Vickie's recent suicide attempt was actually an extreme form of method acting—she was immersing herself in the mindset of her new movie's female lead, who also suffered from cyberbullying.

As for jumping off the building? That was purely a testament to her dedication. She refused to use a stunt double to make the scene authentic. Following that, promotional stills, plot summaries, and the director's lineup for the upcoming film were heavily publicized.

It was obvious who was pulling the strings behind the scenes. Whoever it was spared no expense to scrub Vickie's image clean.

There were still a few skeptical voices online, but drowned out by the unified chorus of entertainment media, they couldn't make a splash.

Now, the entire internet was buzzing about Vickie's new movie, and her fans were spamming comment sections across all platforms, praising their idol's unmatched professionalism.

Evelyn tossed her phone aside and pulled the blanket over her head to hide her damp eyes.

The next day.

When Xavier returned from his morning run, breakfast was already set on the dining table. Seeing the glass of hot milk, he frowned. "Evelyn, get me some oatmeal."

Jenna hurriedly walked over with a bowl of oatmeal.

Xavier's brow furrowed deeper. "Where's Evelyn? Hiding in the kitchen again?"

He couldn't figure out her weird habit. Whenever she was upset or didn't want to see anyone, she would barricade herself in the kitchen.

"No, she just hasn't come downstairs yet."

"Go tell her to come down and eat."
