Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1875

Zander Yates had been in an unexpected car accident, severely injuring both of his hands and rendering him unable to compete.

The moment the news broke, the internet went into a frenzy.

Their top seed was out. This was disastrous for their side!

Of all the times for an accident to happen, why did it have to be right at this critical moment?

Was it truly an accident, or was there some dark conspiracy behind it?

Before anyone could uncover the truth, toxic rumors began spreading online.

Some claimed Zander orchestrated the accident himself. They said he lacked the confidence to win and, terrified of being humiliated on a global stage, faked the crash to escape the competition.

Netizens debated fiercely, unable to tell fact from fiction.

However—

Around noon, the media interviewed the second-in-command of the Association, Gavin Hughes.

When asked about the car accident, he claimed he knew nothing about it.

But when asked to evaluate Zander, Gavin coldly remarked:

"Zander is a sensitive, fragile, and deeply insecure young man. Whenever he faces a real challenge, he doesn't have the courage to charge forward. His instinct is always to retreat..."

That single statement practically cemented the rumor that Zander had staged his own accident.

A massive wave of netizens began condemning Zander for his lack of patriotism, furious that he would cowardly hide when his country needed him to step up.

They mocked him, saying he was a small fish who couldn't handle the big pond and would never achieve anything of value in his life!

Koryon immediately seized the opportunity, plastering the internet with insults, calling Zhinorians spineless, cowards, garbage, and completely useless!

When the kids saw the online comments after school, they were livid!

Emmett's little brows knitted tightly.

"Both my mentor and Grandpa Gibson think highly of him. Zander isn't a coward!"

Evan agreed. "Someone definitely didn't want him to compete and intentionally caused the crash! Then they framed him to ruin his reputation!"

Elliot and Elijah nodded in unison.

"Evan makes a good point. We need to investigate this."

Downstairs, Tarquin watched with eyes full of affection as Elysia taught Baby some medical knowledge.
