"Nope!" Estelle chuckled, waving off the concern. "Don't be a worrywart!"
She texted Sylvia back, [Safe travels.]
Sylvia responded with a smiley face emoji.
Estelle turned to Jonathan, "So, when do we head out?"
Jonathan replied, "In an hour, we'll catch a flight back to J-City."
Estelle's eyes twinkled with a thought, "My injury's pretty much healed. Should we swing by C-City to check on Grandpa first?"
Jonathan leaned in and pecked her cheek, "No, darling, we need to get straight back to J-City."
Estelle suddenly remembered the news articles Wolf had shown her. She hadn't paid much attention at the time, just noticed a lot of people badmouthing her in the comments. With Wolf's passing, she hadn't had the heart to follow up on it, but now her curiosity spiked. "What's been going on?"
Jonathan locked eyes with her, "Ella, we're going public with our relationship sooner than planned!"
Her eyes clear, Estelle nodded, "Okay!"
"Good girl!" Jonathan kissed her affectionately. "Once we're public, I won't let anyone bother you. You'll still have the easy life you're used to."
Estelle lay back with a smile, thinking it didn't matter; as long as he was with her, she feared nothing!
Jonathan handed her a detox pill and a glass of water, frowning slightly, "You've been taking these for days. Why aren't they working?"
Estelle still couldn't fully wake from her stupor.
He'd had the biotech company's pharmacists check the medication; it was definitely fine.
Taking the pill from him, Estelle said, "They are working. I haven't had any auditory hallucinations during the day."
Carmella took the opportunity to gain followers, framing herself as the victim of Estelle's jealousy, painting a picture of great suffering.
Unsuspecting netizens were riled up, attacking Snowy Studios, Mr. Tucker's production team's Twitter, and even descending on Yulia's Twitter to demand justice for Carmella.
Snowy Studios and Mr. Tucker kept silent, but Yulia wasn't one to take things lying down. She posted plenty of evidence debunking Carmella, with scathing remarks unbecoming of a celebrity.
Yet, most people still sided with "justice" and "protecting the underdog," supporting Carmella.
And as for Simone, her replies to fans were unforgiving,
[Estelle's nothing but a rebellious troublemaker at heart!]
[Estelle's jealous of my own daughter, wanting to take her place, scheming with outsiders to bully her!]
[My biggest regret is ever supporting her, bringing her to J-City to study, even acknowledging her as my goddaughter!]
