"I thought I'd try to provoke Ms. Cameron a bit. That way, I might get her to pay more attention to Haynie and stop all this nonsense."

Jasper chimed in, "Stella's crossed the line this time. She should've thought about you and Keen, not just herself!"

"The whole thing's blown up online now, and everyone knows you guys aren't on good terms. Even the O'Brien Group’s stock has taken a hit."

"That woman's up to no good!"

The impact of Stella's video was far bigger than any previous news. Although Haynes had suppressed the online buzz in just a day, savvy netizens had saved copies of the photos and videos, sharing them privately with enthusiasm.
