Vivienne gritted her teeth, shooting a venomous glare in Emilia's direction.
Had Emilia pulled another stunt recently?
She was going to destroy Emilia!
Whether or not she became Mrs. Erickson, she would never let Emilia live in peace.
Emilia caught Vivienne's stare and found it baffling. Why was Vivienne suddenly furious again?
Whatever. She didn't care.
Emilia looked away, catching Theodore's eye. The two of them exchanged a brief nod.
...
Online, the long-silent User 567 resurfaced.
User 567: Are people always siding with Emilia? Am I remembering this wrong?
User 567: Vivienne, wasn't the internet always on your side? Until your fake illness was exposed, wasn't the narrative always about feeling sorry for you?
User 567: Do you need me to jog your memory?
Vivienne saw the posts and seethed. If User 567 hadn't leaked the truth, things would never have escalated to this point.
Furious, Vivienne hit share and typed out a response.
Vivienne: User 567, why are you doing this to me? Is it because you have a crush on Emilia? Or are you just on her payroll?
User 567 replied with a string of laughing emojis.
"Me, framing you?"
"Vivienne, do you have any idea that the only reason I kept your secret in the first place was because I originally supported you!"
"I thought you were a good person. Even when the stairwell incident happened, I figured Emilia falling was just a tragic accident."
"Even with all the stunts you pulled afterward, I gave you the benefit of the doubt."
"Until it came out that you faked stomach cancer."
User 567's true stance was finally revealed.
"And recently, I was looking back through the old footage and found something very interesting."
With that, User 567 updated their feed with a new post.
User 567: Take a look for yourselves. Let's see if anyone can spot the smoking gun in this video.
The video User 567 uploaded this time was the complete, uncut footage of the stairwell incident where Emilia was pushed down the stairs.
Every single detail was laid bare.
She thought no one would ever know.
What was she supposed to do?
Vivienne glanced at Tyler, who was still focused on the contract.
She immediately texted Jack, ordering him to use every resource at his disposal to bury the story.
Then, she made another post.
Vivienne: The lengths you people will go to frame me are truly despicable!
It was a flat-out denial.
But no one cared about her excuses anymore.
People had already reached out to top behavioral analysts online to break down the footage.
While the internet was in absolute chaos, back in the CEO's office at the Erickson Building...
Tyler set the contract down.
"No objections," Tyler said, looking up at Emilia.
Emilia nodded. "Then sign it."
