She played on Gilbert’s sympathy to get to him. Let’s be real-with Gilbert’s status, he never would’ve been with Sherry otherwise.

Sherry basically became the poster girl for schemers.

Someone even photoshopped her to look ugly and Teresa went out of her way to like the post.

Her comment read, “Finally, everyone sees how annoying she is. She tricked me into that last news fiasco

too.”

Even those old videos Cathy and the Campbell family dug up got twisted around.

[They were all cut up and edited. Who’s to say Sherry didn’t say something on purpose to tick people off?]

[Then she played the victim, only showing the parts that made her look good.]

[Sherry had to be in the wrong. That’s why everyone was coming at her-she wasn’t innocent, not one bit.]

When Sherry’s colleague read those comments, they were all fuming.

As for Lucas-when he saw what was going on…

Actually, Tony was the first to find out about it all.

It’s the age of big data, after all.

People in King City only searched for local stuff, and their feeds were filled with this city’s gossip.

Julia wasn’t famous enough to take over King City’s news, anyway. Just because folks in Seaseat City cared didn’t mean anyone in King City did.

To them, if you weren’t a huge star, you were just some random person.

Julia’s movie hadn’t even come out yet. Even if they saw her name, they probably just scrolled

past it.

But because of all this drama, Sherry’s name popped up again. Combined with what happened last time, she ended up trending.

People were calling her every terrible name in the book.

And Julia? She suddenly got all the attention, out of nowhere!

“That Julia’s such a snake,” one person said. “She used your name to get famous and grab fans.”

“For real! Even my nieces were talking about it. They feel so bad for Julia-they’re telling Sherry to get out of their lives.”

“That woman’s terrifying. She’s using other people to promote herself! Only idiots believe her—us old

Lucas never paid attention to gossip-not even the stuff inside the company. He only cared if things got

messy.

But this? He noticed it right away.

He posted the longest video anyone had ever seen-all the full, uncut surveillance footage.

To prove once and for all that Sherry hadn’t set herself up to be targeted, pretending to be a victim.

It shut everyone up for good-no more arguments, no more lies.

Cathy and Lore-especially Cathy-got humiliated.

But Julia? She hid behind the public the whole time, staying out of the fire.

She even went to find Cathy. “Cathy, you holding up okay? Why didn’t you come see me when I got back? Don’t worry-I still believe you, even with everyone bashing you.”

Cathy had been hiding in her room. She finally peeked her head out, looking a mess.

“What’s the point of you believing me? This never would’ve blown up if it weren’t for you!”

Julia walked over and took her hand. “You think this is my fault? Let’s be honest-if this video hadn’t come out now, it would’ve followed you forever, a permanent stain.

“Unless… we cover it up with another stain. Then, even if people mention it later, you’ll be the one

everyor everyone feels bad for-the victim.”

“What do I do?” Cathy wasn’t her usual chatty self. She was quiet-scarily quiet.

After all this, Cathy had been holed up at home, too scared to go outside. She thought her life was over— she’d never dare face the public again.

She felt like everyone had seen her at her worst-like everyone knew she’d thrown herself at someone else, acting like a side chick.

Julia’s words gave her a glimmer of hope. “How? Tell me what to do-I’ll do anything.”

“You told me you tried to frame Sherry… but she outsmarted you, right?”

Cathy’s face darkened. Having someone say that out loud made her look both evil and stupid-and she

hated it.

“Then we’ll make you the victim. Tell me-was Sherry there that day?”

Cathy shook her head. “I don’t know-I was too panicked to notice.”

“Sherry must have been there,” Julia insisted. She sent someone to dig up the video from that day.
