Juno Yates outlined the next steps in the group chat and tagged Juniper directly.
Truthfully, Juniper didn't have much of an impression of the studio staff yet. Aside from the dramatic Jade Vance, everyone else just kept their heads down and worked hard.
This girl, Juno, was usually low-key and never initiated small talk.
"Thank you."
Juniper typed the two words into the chat, then gripped her phone in silence.
She had seen Caleb fire Jade on her behalf and had already sent him a private message of gratitude.
Caleb called her shortly after. "I've dispatched a few bodyguards. That area isn't safe right now. You shouldn't stay there for the next few days."
"Thank you, Mr. Xavier. I'm at a hotel right now."
Caleb hesitated, a complex look crossing his features, but through the phone, Juniper couldn't see it.
After hanging up, she continued staring at the trending topics online.
Audrey Vance seemed certain that Juniper couldn't recover from this and began aggressively playing the victim card, even claiming she had fallen into a deep depression.
Her comments section was flooded with sympathy.
Between a devastated woman who had lost her baby and a shameless homewrecker, everyone knew exactly whose side to take.
Seeing the internet gang up on Juniper brought Audrey immense satisfaction.
People in her college group chat started asking what exactly was going on.
She rolled her eyes and fired off a hateful response.
"What do you think happened? She's a slut. She saw that my boyfriend had money and threw herself at him. Isn't that what she always did? She really thinks the world revolves around her."
"Audrey, just focus on recovering. Someone will put her in her place. What goes around comes around."
The rest of the chat chimed in with righteous indignation.
Audrey felt a deep sense of gratification. She took a photo of some baby clothes she had bought previously and posted it.
The comments were instantly flooded with support.
The scandal was huge, but high society paid it no mind. To them, it was just petty drama about nobodies, far less interesting than the juicy gossip within their own circles.
Lydia Thorne, however, was glued to the updates. Her eyes sparkled with amusement, acting as if Juniper had already been trampled into the mud.
She elegantly took a sip of her coffee. Beside her, Yvonne Saint nodded in approval. "You handled this very well."
Lydia sighed, feigning hesitation. "Mom, I only did it for Nelson."
"I know your heart is in the right place, Lydia. You gave the Saint family such a beautiful child, and we won't mistreat you."
Lydia set her cup down. "Nelson belongs at the top, not dragged into these petty, calculated messes. Juniper really isn't suitable for him. Mom, is there a permanent solution to this?"
"I gave Beatrice Lane a massive check previously. It's time that money was put to use. That family is a pack of leeches. Taking my money and playing dead? They really think it's that easy to take from me."
Disgust flashed in Yvonne's eyes as she spoke.
Lower-class people were all the same—greedy, scheming, and desperate. Juniper was no exception.
