It was unsure which media leaked information about Cherie returning home.
It went viral the very next day.
"World famous pianist Momo has returned to the country in a very low profile manner."
When she clicked on the viral post, it turned out to be a video from the original poster.
The video showed Cherie in a black baseball cap walking out the airport with her head lowered before getting in a black Maybach with two men.
"Oh my god, the goddess Momo has returned."
"I am an art student and I major in playing the piano. Man, Momo is absolutely our role model."
"There are very few locally impressive pianists that made it big into the international scene. Momo is one of them who succeeded. Not to mention she's so young too. Man her natural talent is insane."
"However, why do I find posts about Momo playing offkey after searching about her through a VPN?"
"There are plenty of speculations out there about Momo having depression and the medication she was prescribed with caused her to play off key."
"No way right? She's such a young and talented pianist though. It'll be such a shame if she actually has depression."

A glint could be seen in Boyle's eyes when he read the viral posts in the Greentown Condominium.
She had returned home to North City.
While Boyle patted Boney who was eating its food with one hand, he grabbed his phone and made an international phone call.
"Calum, inform our international team to move a branch of our operations to North City."
It seemed MO Group already had plans to enter the local market for quite some time now. Most of their plans involved setting up a branch in either the capital, North City or other local cities. It seemed it was only a matter of time before they set up a branch in both the North and the South to form an economic hub for them. Therefore, it was only a matter of time before their marketing team entered and set up a branch in North City.
The only thing was, his boss had always been quite the calculative and careful person. He was ruthless in his methods but was always thorough in executing everything. How could he act so rashly at this moment though?
Calum dared not comment too much about his boss' orders and how his boss planned to expand his business ventures. Thus, he said, "Yes boss, I'll get it done right now."
After Boyle hung up the call, he said while patting the cat beside him, "You'd be able to meet her real soon now. Are you happy?"
Boney replied with a meow.
…
Cherie was invited out by Whitney on the second day of her return.
Whitney ranted at her like a maniac the instant they met.
"Cherie Fudd! You never called me once in all these years! How could you be so brutal! Do you have any idea just how much I missed you all these years? Do you have a new best friend in America and not want me around anymore?"
Cherie teared up a little when she noticed just how excited and energetic her old friend was. She said, "I don't mean to do that. The only thing is, I feel like I don't know what to talk about if I called and besides you have a fiance now. It won't be appropriate for me to keep annoying you by calling you all day now, right?"
Whitney glared at her and said, "What do you mean annoying? Am I really your friend or not? Even if I've married Huntley, you should still call me, okay! He's not as important as you are! Men can be replaced, best friends can't!"
Cherie laughed as she said, "Oh, if Huntley was to know you said that, will he still even want to marry you?"
Whitney raised her brows and spoke in a furious tone, "He wouldn't dare! If he doesn't marry me, I'll look for another man then!"
Upon noticing how carefree Whitney was behaving, Cherie knew she must have a solid relationship with Huntley all these years.
