Charlotte puilled the phone away from her ear
She opened the app and immediately spotted several major influencers sharing the same video, already trending at number nne.
The footage showed yesterday’s airport scene.
However, the viden had been carefully edited, transforming the event into a narrative where poor, innocent Evelyn was brutally slapped by the vicioas, vindictive Charlotte.
Interestingly, Isaac, who had been present during the actual incident, had been completely edited nut–the video showed only Charlotte attacking Evelyn
Even more interesting.
The influencers weren’t condemning the “vicious” Charlotte, beat instead the “pitiful” Evelyn.
They not only revealed her identity but mocked her mercilessly–despite being from a wealthy family, she shamelessly pursued a married man and destroyed someone’s marriage. According to them, she deserved the slaps and brought it on herself.
The public had zero tolerance for homewreckers, viewing them as vermin deserving universal condemnation.
People who initially felt sorry for Evelyn immediately lost all sympathy once they learned the truth
Ninety percent of the comments supported Charlotte.
Some gleefully suggested the slaps weren’t hard enough, while others passionately argued that homewreckers should be stripped naked and paraded through the streets. The commenters then began digging into Evelyn’s hackground, with the entire Grantham fandy getting roasted in the process.
Charlotte noticed that the original poster was anonymous, sharing it yesterday evening. The major influencers had reposted it after 2
“Was this your doing? Gloria asked eagerly.
Charlotte laughed. “You think I did this?”
“I just can’t figure out who else would. It seems like something you’d do, but then not entirely. But who else would spin the narrative so provocatively?”
“Maybe it was just some random person who hates homewreckers, Wouldn’t that make sense?
“Come on, would & random stranger go to such lengths to pay influencers to create this stormı?”
“Honestly, who did it isn’t important–the result is what matters”
“The result?” Gloria’s interest piqued at Charlotte’s cryptic response. “Wait, could it be someone who admires you? Like, perhaps. Zarek Weasley? “Hahaha…” Charlotte couldn’t help laughing “Darling I won’t speculate on most things, but I can say with absolute certainty–it wasn’t me, and it definitely wasn’t Zarek.”
She didn’t elaborate further.
After hanging up, she immediately called Summer to tell her about the viral posts.
Summer had spent the night looking after her mother, who had twisted her back during a dance class, and had just woken up.
After checking the posts and considering what she already knew, Summer suggested, “Could it be Amanda? The video deliberately erases clearly trying to keep him from being implicated”
“Amanda? She’d want this whole thing buried in a deep hole, not dig it up again herself.”
“True. Then who did it?”

That’s imposible. She’s the biggest victim here–her reputation is tracheil, everyone’s insulting her. Why would she seek that kind of punishment?” Summer objected, then suddenly seemed to realize something “If she did post it, I can only say she’s a complete lunatic who belongs in a psychiatrie hospital
Destroy her own reputation, drag the entire Grantham family down with her, just to play the victim
Was that even possible?
Charlotte sighed. “We’ll see how this plays out. My parents will eventually see the video, and they don’t know about my injury yet. I’m worried they’ll jump to come basions. Could you explain things to them and let them know I’ll visit in a few days?”
“Don’t worry, Falready spoke with them. They’re taking it surprisingly well-
“I should have told them myself._”
She’d wanted to spare them worry, planning to tell them later, but ultimately they learned the shocking truth anyway. She felt like a terrible daughter. Summer reassured her. “What’s done is done. Don’t overthink it. Right now, the divorce is the priority. I’m planning to talk to Fisse again today
moved into my building. Upstairs.*
What?!” Summer exclaimed. “Wait, he left you for Evelyn at the airport yesterday! If he chose her, he should just divorce you cleanly. What’s with this running back and forth?”
“Who knows what he’s thinking? At this point, I just hope he and Evelyn lock themselves together permanently and lease me alone.”
Thinking about the viral posts, Charlotte felt uneasy, the suspected Evelyn and the Granthams might come after her next.
But that was inevitable–she’d made enemies of the Granthams at the charity gala.

Issat, who had been completely drunk the night before, received a call from the Granthams saying Evelyn had attempted suicide by sting her wrist. unable to bear the public humiliation from the viral posts. They demanded he come immediately
Issac was stunned,
On his way there, he checked the posts, his emotion a confused jumble,
At the Wood residence.
Amanda’s phone was blowing up with calls
She watched the video of the two women, wishing they would both disappear.
Issar’s father, Arthur Wood, had rushed back from the United States after the charny gala incident. He primarily stayed there for health reasons. Learning about his son’s affair, his daughter–in–law leaving the company, and the hamiliating scene at the charity gala, he was on the verge of a stroke.
He had seen firsthand what Charlotte hail accomplished for the company over the years Initially, he too had concerns about her n but over time, he’d come to respect her.
She was capable, stable, loyal, and willing to give everything to the company.
Beyond her professional abilities, she was attractive and intelligent–good genes for producing Wood heirs.

“I hear Issac is trying to win Charlotte hack Arthur said while eating breakfast. “Tind an opportunity to invite her for dinner. Apologize properly and cut ties with that Grantham girl immediately. “
In his view, if the Woods were willing to humble themselves, reconciliation wouldn’t be difficult.
Amanda irritably placed her phone in front of him. “Look at these two troublemakers. Neither one is easy to handle.”

Seeing it was Evelyn, her expression changed to fear. Compared to Charlotte, who merely irritated her, Evelyn genuinely frightened her
She declined the call.
Soon after, a voice message arrived: “Auntie, it hurts me that you dislike me so much now,”
The voice was weak and gentle, tinged with sadness. After a pause of a few seconds, a low, eerie laugh followed. “By the way. Auntie. I discovered your
secret, Jade Manor? Wow, Liever imagined you were still so… vigorous for your age, Hehehe”
Amanda’s mind exploded, the blood draining from her face.
She hurried outside, looking around to ensure no one was nearby before calling Evelyn back, her voice trembling uncontrollably “how did you find but? What do you want?”
