Kaia frowned.

Noelle was hospitalized today?

Wow, what an incredible coincidence.

Her mother-in-law was actually pinning Noelle’s hospitalization on her.

It was absolutely absurd.

“Mom,” Kaia said, her voice dropping a few degrees. “I have no idea what you’re talking about. I’m sorry to hear she’s sick, but blaming her illness on me is completely irrational.”

“You’re going to play dumb? You think I don’t know what happened in the Aethelstan lobby today? ‘Noelle only got it because Kaía tossed it away’-wasn’t that your assistant spewing that venom?” Elaine was practically hyperventilating. Kaia really had a gift for driving her absolutely crazy.

“Noelle is sensitive and takes things to heart. Of course she’s going to spiral after hearing something like that! How is her body supposed to handle that kind of stress?” Elaine yelled, her voice echoing through the phone.

Kaía replied, entirely unfazed, “Mom, learning to regulate one’s emotions is a basic adult skill. If Noelle is overly sensitive and prone to spiraling, she needs to work on that. Otherwise, yes, it will eventually make her sick.”,

“What… what kind of garbage are you talking about?!” If Elaine had been in the room, she would have slapped Kaia across the face.

“Noelle has worked herself to the bone for Aethelstan! She finally achieved something incredible. That magazine cover was her moment of glory. Using your people to publicly humiliate her like that is despicable.”

Kaia was genuinely angry now. She wasn’t going to take the fall for everything.

She absolutely refused to accept this baseless accusation.

“Mom, I am not going to sit here and listen to you hurl baseless accusations at me,” Kaia said, her tone turning to steel. “I suggest you get the full story. If you genuinely believe I orchestrated some plot to hurt her, then show me the proof. As for declining the interview, that was my personal choice. It’s my right, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. Noelle scored the interview through her own merit and luck. I have absolutely zero issue with that, and I have never spoken a single word against it. I refuse to accept your accusations that I am trying to destroy her.”

Dead silence fell over the line, broken only by Elaine’s ragged breathing.

Faced with Kaia’s ironclad logic, Elaine’s fury faltered slightly. “Even if… even if you did reject it first, the nasty things your assistant said were still said! You failed to manage your own team!”
