She never thought Sherry would plant a scandal like this on her!
Julia tried to turn the car around, but the woman who'd called her stepped right in front of the vehicle and slammed her palms on the hood.
"You coward! You think you can run? Get out here and face me!"
Julia tried to reverse, but people quickly blocked her in from behind.
The woman shouted even louder, "You little tramp! You probably got this car from some random guy! Showing up here with stolen goods, acting all high and mighty—how disgusting are you?"
Some people hesitated.
"We... we can't afford to damage that car."
The woman lifted her chin.
"In a time where cheaters get shamed, we're doing the world a favor by smashing it!"
Julia was fuming.
But the woman's words hit way too close to home.
This luxury model was custom-built for one of the top three corporations in the country.
Everyone had been guessing who owned it.
First, they thought of Lucas.
His status fit a one-of-a-kind car like this.
But he never cared much about luxury vehicles. He didn't fixate on brands, shoes, or suits the way most powerful men did.
He just wore whatever and never showed a clear preference.
So people guessed the second option—Kian Granger from the Granger family.
People like Kurt didn't stand a chance—he thought he mattered inside the Granger family, but he was nothing but a background figure in the family.
Everyone debated between those two for the longest time. No one expected Gilbert to be the one who got it.
People actually cheered.
Between Julia's posts and his recent public appearances, Gilbert's image had improved a lot.
Ranked third in King City's elite and still young, he'd gained plenty of admirers.
The scandals from before barely touched him.
