Chapter 99 Trouble Online

Jean heard the front door open and close.

About thirty seconds later, Easton walked back in, carrying a paper bag.

Jean’s eyes dropped to the bag, and she frowned, curious. “What’s that?”

Easton gave a faint smile and opened the bag right in front of her.

Inside were all kinds of food–pizza, cake, snacks, and fresh fruit.

“You ordered takeout?” Jean’s eyes lit up with surprise, a smile breaking across her face.

She had to admit–she was starving. She hadn’t eaten a thing since they left Westwood Mountain.

“Nope. Had my manager do a quick food run,” Easton said casually, pulling everything out and setting it neatly on the coffee table. “You’ve got to be starving,” he added, settling onto the couch. across from her. His eyes met hers with a smirk. “I was going to cook for you–make up for that disaster the other day. Total fail.” He chuckled, his grin growing. “But then I figured, after everything you’ve been through, you probably don’t want to risk eating my cooking. So I had my manager pick up a bunch of stuff kids your age actually eat.”

The warm glow from the ceiling lights washed over Easton’s face, softening his features. His smile was easy, quiet–but unmistakably charming.

Jean blinked, a little dazed. Okay… yeah. Now I get it. That face is something else.

Easton paused when he caught her look. We were talking about food–how did she end up staring at my face?

Still, he’d been complimented more times than he could count. But somehow, coming from Jean, it landed differently. He couldn’t help but feel a flicker of satisfaction.

“Thanks, Easton!” Jean shot him a grin–she wasn’t about to complain when someone brought her food. Then she dove right in, clearly enjoying every bite.

Just then, Easton’s phone rang.

He’d been quietly watching her from across the table, chin resting on his hand, when the ringtone broke the moment.

He glanced down and pulled out his phone.

It was his manager.

Easton tapped to answer. “What now?” he said lazily.

“I’m telling you–this is bad,” his manager’s voice came through, urgent and stressed.

Jean looked up, her curiosity piqued.

The manager’s voice lowered a little, frustration leaking through. “One of the girls from the show just posted something about you on Twitter. It’s blowing up. I’m not going to say more–check it yourself. I’m heading over to PR now.”

The call ended.

Easton’s brows drew together. Wait, what? Someone posted about me?

He didn’t quite get it at first–until the pieces clicked into place.

A girl from the show. Twitter.Julia. She posted something about me?

Easton’s eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing through them.

So in the end–even though things had played out differently–the outcome had matched what Jean said. Julia really had gone and thrown him und

the bus online.

Jean caught the change in his expression and tilted her head, confused. “Easton? What’s going

on?”

Easton gave her a quick look, calm as ever, a faint smirk on his lips. “It’s nothing serious. If you’re that curious, check Twitter.”

So they both pulled out their phones.

Right at the top of Twitter’s trending list, two names stood out.

Easton and Julia.

Oh no. Jean’s eyes widened as panic hit her like a wave. It’s happening. It’s really happening.

Despite everything that had changed–Julia hadn’t been teamed up with Easton, and they’d barely even interacted–this still happened.

Was this fate or some kind of twisted loop I couldn’t break?

She quickly tapped into the trending topic, and sure enough–just like she’d feared–Julia had used her personal Twitter account to publicly call out Easton by name.

And the post? Almost exactly what Jean had expected.

Julia claimed that during her time trapped in the Westwood Mountain tunnel, she’d injured her leg and genuinely thought she was going to die down there–until she unexpectedly ran into

Easton.

In her post, she described seeing Easton as her one shot at survival. She truly believed he would. help her.

She added that, luckily, someone from the rescue team eventually found her and pulled her out. Otherwise, she might not have made it.

And she insisted she wasn’t doing this for attention. She just wanted people to see Easton for who he really was not the polished, charming version everyone saw on camera.

Jean read every word.

Julia’s tone was desperate and emotional–almost too believable. And people were eating it up. They seemed to believe every word, dragging Easton while pouring sympathy all over Julia.
