Sham Marriage Quit, Real Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 273 Controlling the Narrative

Finished

When Elena thought back to the day Riona appeared in Nicole’s hospital room, the conclusion felt unavoidable. There was no realistic way the Sterling family and the Hawke family had been completely unaware of Landon’s actions. If anything, it was far more plausible that they had chosen to ignore what was happening, only stepping in afterward to contain the fallout.

That possibility sat quietly in her mind, but it shaped every decision she made.

Across the table, Trenton had already lost his footing. Elena’s words left him visibly flustered, his face flushed as he struggled to come up with a response that sounded reasonable.

After a moment, he let out an awkward laugh. “I get what you’re saying, but let’s be realistic here. At the end of the day, he got a minor actress pregnant. That’s not exactly something that implicates the Sterling family or the Hawke family. Don’t you think you’re taking this a little too far, Ms. Sterling?”

Elena didn’t react emotionally. She simply met his gaze and said, “What if I can prove that this isn’t the only thing he’s done?”

The room fell quiet.

Trenton blinked, caught off guard.

Elena let her eyes move across the table, making sure everyone was paying attention. “If that’s the case, would that change your position?”

Trenton hesitated, then instinctively looked toward Alexander.

Alexander had not spoken once since the meeting began, but his silence carried weight. Trenton was sharp enough to read it for what it was.

Permission.

He cleared his throat. “If there’s solid evidence that he’s done something more serious, th course we can’t just prioritize profit.”

Dickson nodded in agreement. “If that’s true, Ms. Sterling, releasing the information would actually help Apex Pictures cut losses early and protect the company.”

Elena gave a small, acknowledging nod before opening another file.

She played a video.

It lasted less than thirty seconds, but by the time it ended, the atmosphere in the room had shifted completely. No one spoke immediately.

Elena turned off the screen and said evenly, “There’s more where that came from. Does anyone still have objections?”

Silence answered her.

After a few seconds, Trenton raised his hand. “No objections from me.”

Dickson followed without hesitation. “As long as Mr. Kingsley agrees, Apex Pictures can terminate all contracts with Landon immediately.”

All eyes turned to Alexander.

He finally spoke, his tone calm and measured. “Has the footage been verified?”

Elena nodded. “Yes. I had it reviewed by specialists. There’s no indication of manipulation, and we cross-checked the hotel records. Everything lines up.”

She had personally confirmed every detail.

There was no room for error.

Otherwise, Landon would not have reacted so aggressively when he confronted her at the hotel.

Alexander held her gaze for a moment before saying, “Then proceed.”

With that, he handed the decision entirely to her.

Elena inclined her head slightly. “Thank you, Mr. Kingsley.”

She gathered her materials, and once the meeting concluded, she left the headquarters with Matteo without wasting a second.

Back at Velmora Media, she moved quickly. The article went live on the official account. This time, Elena made a deliberate choice. She did not release everything.

The report focused on how Landon had manipulated Nicole emotionally, leading to her pregnancy and pushing her to the brink of suicide. It also exposed that during his so-called relationship with her, he had maintained inappropriate relationships with multiple other

women.

Within minutes of publication, the story began to spread rapidly online.

The reaction was immediate and intense.

Finished.

[Elena must think we’re stupid. Landon could date anyone he wants. Why would he go after someone like Nicole?]

[Velmora Media is obviously chasing traffic. Where’s the proof? One interview doesn’t mean anything.]

[Nicole is clearly clout-chasing. Didn’t she try to kill herself before? Now she’s back trying to cash in?]

Elena scrolled through the comments in silence, her expression growing colder.

Hannah and Sophia were monitoring the situation as well, and neither of them could stay calm.
