Chapter 156 A Staged Breakdown
The video was filmed in Zoey’s bedroom, with the floor in complete disarray.
Shards of broken glass were scattered everywhere.

In the second half of the video, Zoey climbed down from the bed barefoot, mumbling apologies to Nella, and stepped onto the glass without hesitation.
In an instant, blood soaked into the snow-white carpet.
Then the video shook as Eileen’s panicked voice rang out.
This video was posted from an account Eileen had specifically registered.
The caption roughly said that Zoey’s original reason for posting the earlier video was that she was worried about Patrick’s condition.
She was too innocent and never imagined that a single video would cause Nella to be misunderstood as a homewrecker.
Now, out of overwhelming guilt, she had suffered a mental breakdown, and they hoped everyone could be a little more forgiving.
She never intended for Nella to be cyberbullied.
Attached at the end were Zoey’s depression diagnosis and the doctor’s signature.
Once the video was posted, Zoey’s fans, who had been quiet before, suddenly found their stage and started jumping around again.
[I suggest some people online learn when to stop. Zoey has already apologized. What more do you want?]
[Have some mercy where you can. Zoey’s depression has relapsed due to all the stress. Are you trying to push her to her death?]
[Nella is the CEO’s wife, after all. Don’t be so petty. Zoey has already apologized, so stop stirring up your followers to cyberbully her.]
[Patrick’s cause of illness still hasn’t been found. Nella wouldn’t be trying to shift the conflict and make herself disappear, right?]
[Does Mrs. Mack have psychic powers? She knew her daughter was about to step on glass and filmed it in advance. Isn’t this just another influencer self-directed pity play to whitewash herself?]
Some people questioned Eileen’s motive for posting the video.
Soon, passersby caught on as well and began liking and commenting under the video.
Eileen, however, seemed to be glued to her computer. As soon as she saw the questioning comment, she immediately replied, [Zoey’s therapist asked us to record her mental state every day so the doctor could make clinical assessments.]

There was a trace of grievance in Eileen’s words.

[We’re not trying to whitewash anything. We just hope everyone can be more forgiving toward Zoey. She’s just a patient with depression.]
But many people weren’t buying Eileen’s explanation.
[Oh, right, right. So the influencer only bought bots to smear Nella during a depression episode.]
[The influencer claimed to be the Keywood Group CEO’s wife. Was she also out of her mind from depression then?]
[Lady, people with depression already have it hard enough. Please stop dragging the whole group down, okay?]
[Since when did depression become a shameless fig leaf anyone can use to cover themselves? Disgusting.]
[Nella is seriously unlucky, getting stuck with this pile of crap. Apex Medical students, unite. Don’t let this influencer think she’s got us all fooled.]
Zoey stared at the comments online. She had thought that after releasing that self-harm-style video, she would be able to clear her name.
She never expected so many people not only to reject it, but to openly mock her.
“A bunch of lowlifes! Why don’t they all just die!”
Zoey cursed viciously at her phone, her expression twisted..
