More and more people stepped forward to share their stories.
...
The caregiver had already confessed everything that had transpired inside Vivian Floral Atelier and formally requested police protection.
Vivienne gave her statement as well, but she vehemently insisted she hadn't done anything wrong. She claimed the fans acted entirely on their own and that she was a victim in all of this.
She was desperate to wash her hands of the entire mess.
Meanwhile, Tyler had returned to the hospital.
His physical agony was a constant, throbbing presence, but his heart felt entirely numb.
What was he supposed to do now?
...
Time slipped by.
Over the next few days, Emilia kept herself incredibly busy.
She leased a new office space and reached out to her old contacts.
She was making all the necessary preparations for a swift takeover.
The others weren't idle, either.
Seven took charge of managing Emilia's online reputation.
As Emilia's management agency, Donovan Entertainment was actively coordinating the PR strategies.
The final analytics for both Emilia and Vivienne were sent to the Erickson family, who dispatched a dedicated team to conduct the ultimate audit.
Vivienne remained unusually quiet during this period.
She didn't post a single word online.
No one knew what she was doing. Ever since she walked out of the police station that day, it was as if she had vanished into thin air.
Tyler spent his days recovering.
Most of his injuries were superficial scrapes and bruises, so after a few days of rest, he was doing much better.
He was now mobile enough to navigate the halls in a wheelchair.
He handled a mountain of paperwork for The Erickson Group, successfully stabilizing the company's stock prices.
However, his mental state was fragile.
The elder Ericksons were deeply concerned and hired a top-tier psychiatrist for him.
But Tyler completely refused to see the doctor.
"I know exactly what's wrong with me," was his only response.
The entire situation left Chloe seething with frustration.
She tried to reach out to Emilia multiple times, but Emilia flat-out refused to discuss anything unrelated to work.
Chloe was entirely out of options.
Today was his absolute last chance.
Could he still convince her to stay?
...
It had rained the night before, leaving the crisp morning air smelling fresh and clean.
Pedestrians hurried along the sidewalks as the city's workforce began their morning commutes.
Many people hadn't slept a wink the night before.
The elder Ericksons were among them.
"What do you think will happen today?" the matriarch asked, her voice tight with worry.
"I don't know. I'm just terrified Tyler won't be able to handle it," Parker replied, shaking his head.
The matriarch hesitated before asking, "Do you think Emilia is really with Theodore now?"
"The Glenn boy has always been determined to get what he wants," Parker sighed in resignation. "Tyler finally woke up and realized what he lost, but Theodore..."
A heavy silence fell over them both.
Finally, Parker shook his head. "Let nature take its course."
The matriarch nodded, and the two prepared to leave for the office.
As the morning progressed, all the key players converged on The Erickson Group headquarters, awaiting the final reckoning.
