Unexpected Fiancée novel Chapter 88

Chapter 88: Counterattack (Part One)

The night was eerily quiet as Jane lay on the sofa, her gaze fixed on her phone screen. The online uproar had only intensified since morning, with people hurling insults and threats at her. Some trolls went as far as wishing the same fate upon her as she allegedly did to Monica.

The anticipation for tomorrow's live broadcast was palpable. People were eager to hear the victim's testimony, armed with virtual stones, ready to attack Jane once her alleged wickedness was confirmed.

Jane pursed her lips and muttered, "Tomorrow can't come soon enough."

Her phone rang, and she saw that it was Anthony calling.

"Ada, I've completed the assignment you gave me. Check your email; I've sent it already," Anthony reported over the phone.

Jane nodded with satisfaction. "Thank you."

"No problem. Monica is playing with fire. She won't be prepared for what's coming!" Anthony sneered.

"Ada, don't let them go!"

Jane chuckled and responded, "Do I look like a pushover to you?"

Though her voice was calm, the underlying resolve sent shivers down even the bravest of spines.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Anthony exclaimed. "It's a piece of cake for Ada to slay her enemies!"

"Don't flatter me, boy," Jane quipped.

After ending the call, Jane was about to check her email when she heard a voice from the door.

"Who was that on the phone?"

Jane looked up and saw Patrick leaning against the doorframe, wearing a faint smile.

Jane was taken aback. She distinctly remembered locking that door. How had he entered without making a sound? How much of her conversation with Anthony had he overheard? It didn't matter, though. She hadn't said anything inappropriate.

Jane sat up and inquired, "Why are you here? I remember locking that door."

Patrick stepped into the room with a smirk, saying, "This is my house, remember?"

Jane sighed in defeat. "Fine..."

Patrick walked to her and sat down with his legs crossed.

"Have you seen the latest viral post? I heard that Monica will have a live interview tomorrow."

Jane confirmed, "Yeah, everyone is talking about it online."

"Aren't you afraid?" Patrick inquired.

"Why should I be? I'm innocent!" Jane sneered. "A clear conscience fears no accusation. The liars are the ones who should be afraid, isn't that right?"
