Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 618

Vivienne's post only threw gasoline on the fire. The vast majority of the public was completely done with her.

Knowing that she was perfectly healthy only made them want to tear her down further. For months, her fans had weaponized her impending death to silence any criticism, accusing anyone who questioned her of trying to drive a dying woman to suicide.

"Since Vivienne doesn't have cancer, I guess I'm not a murderer anymore. I'm the victim here," read the top-voted comment.

Seconds later, that user changed their display name to 'VivienneFakeIllnessVictim033'.

The trend caught on instantly. The comment section was soon dominated by thousands of users bearing the 'VivienneFakeIllnessVictim' moniker.

Meanwhile, her most brainwashed followers were desperately trying to spin the narrative. They clung to her post as gospel.

"Vivienne was scammed. All of her charity work proves she has a pure heart."

Conspiracy theories sprouted like weeds. They claimed Emilia was the mastermind, that she had colluded with the Solmaris agency to frame Vivienne.

Jack watched the chaos unfold and immediately jumped into the fray to guide the mob. "Vivienne might be under someone's control. Hasn't she had a Solmaris caregiver glued to her side this entire time?"

This was the exact angle Vivienne had just texted him to push.

They needed a scapegoat, and the caregiver was the perfect target.

Jack's heart pounded with a sickening mix of fear and guilt, but he did as he was told. He knew that if he did not serve up the caregiver, Vivienne would gladly throw him to the wolves instead.

A cold sweat broke out across his forehead. If she could so easily sacrifice the caregiver today, what would stop her from destroying him tomorrow? He shoved the thought down, too terrified to dwell on it.

On the internet, Vivienne's fanatics abandoned all logic.

"He's right. It's terrifying to think about. Vivienne might be sending us an SOS!"

"Save Vivienne!"

"That caregiver is still at the Vivian Floral Atelier. Hurry, we have to go save her!"

...

Parker tossed the file onto the table, staring intensely at the doctor.

"He does not look right. I tried speaking to him, and he barely acknowledged me," Parker said.

Chloe nodded in agreement, her face pale.

The doctor let out a long sigh. "You may need to consult with a psychiatrist."

The room fell dead silent. They exchanged heavy glances, the weight of the doctor's words settling over them like a suffocating blanket.

...

Across town, the mob of Vivienne's loyalists had entirely surrounded the Vivian Floral Atelier.

They were in a state of absolute hysteria. Most had their phones out, streaming their "rescue mission" to hunt down the caregiver and save their idol.

The caregiver had realized the danger the moment she saw the online chatter and tried to flee. But the area was already packed with fans lingering from Vivienne's charity sale earlier that day.
