The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2412

Seren couldn't shake the feeling that she was dealing with someone well above her pay grade. Having rubbed elbows with the high and mighty, the lawyer Mara chose must be more skilled than the one she could find. And to top it off, there was no way she'd be asked to foot the bill for such steep legal fees. The leftover cash could be stashed away for a fresh start in a new city once this whole mess was over.

"Come on, you should've just said so earlier, and we wouldn't have had to grill you about it," Seren chided with a half-hearted laugh. "You're the one who's been abroad, right? You must know way more than us about this kind of stuff."

After ending the call, Seren let out a long sigh of relief. Then, she was back online, scrolling through the heated comments under the gossip posts she had ignited.

The top-liked comment, anonymously upvoted by Seren with another account, read: [Can you believe Ivy? With her shoddy behavior, she's still an actress. Shows how low the bar's gotten.]

Indeed, it seemed like anyone could be an actor these days, even become a star.

What was so special about Ivy?

Surprisingly, many people liked her, and she could still make a substantial amount of money.

Seren felt a deep sense of injustice.

[Actress sneaks into director's room after hours – no wonder she landed the lead with Colton so early in her career!]

Seren mulled over her crafted headline, convinced it was both sensational and cryptic enough to set the internet ablaze on an otherwise tranquil day. She reveled in the scandalous details she'd concocted about Ivy and hit send without hesitation.

The internet erupted once more.
