The Love I Begged For Was Never Real novel Chapter 410

Nora clumsily swiped the screen, tapping on one of the top trending news links.

The headline glared back at her: *Hayes Daughter-in-law Murders Giselle Out of Jealousy, Heiress Plunges to Her Death.*

The comment section was flooded with tens of thousands of venomous remarks.

"Why isn't this ugly, malicious bitch dead yet? Her existence is just a waste of air!"

"I heard she was obsessed with Mr. Hayes for seven years, but he never gave a damn about her. So she took all her rage out on his sister, lured her onto the roof, and pushed her. Pure evil!"

"My heart breaks for Giselle. Such a beautiful, kind girl in the prime of her life, murdered by her own sister-in-law. This killer should be hacked to pieces!"

"Xavier Holdings going bankrupt is the best news ever! That's karma! This venomous snake deserves to watch her entire family burn!"

Comment after comment, a relentless crusade against her supposed crimes. The entire internet was cursing her with the most toxic slurs imaginable, celebrating her family's annihilation, demanding justice for Giselle's death.

Gideon hadn't stepped in to explain a single thing. He let the rumors fester and detonate online, allowing society to completely destroy her.

Nora stared at the horrifying words on the screen.

Her eyes were dry and stinging; she couldn't squeeze out a single tear.

In the face of this overwhelming tidal wave of blame, any defense she could offer was entirely pointless.

She pushed the phone to the edge of the desk, letting the screen time out and plunge the room into darkness, then buried her face deeply in her arms.

Time dragged on agonizingly in the dark.

A few days passed. Late that night, another violent storm ripped through the city.

Gale-force winds whipped the trees in the back garden, the branches groaning and wailing like tormented ghosts.
