“I’ve got all the proof I need to show this was planned from the start. Your parents tried to blackmail me yesterday, while you were still in surgery,” Katelyn said calmly. The way she said it only made Zoey look even more drained.
“The smartest thing you can do right now is step back and call Lise out for what she’s done. If you don’t, you could end up in trouble, too. You’re too young to let this mess ruin everything you’ve worked for.”
As she spoke, there was a flicker of satisfaction in Katelyn’s mind. The idea of watching Lise and Zoey turn on each other was… oddly satisfying.
It hadn’t been long since they’d last crossed paths, but in that short time, Lise seemed to have only gotten better at manipulating people.
Katelyn knew Zoey needed space to process everything, so she turned away.
The decision was now in Zoey’s hands.
Katelyn then made her way to the hospital where Carol was recovering.
The drive between the two hospitals took about half an hour.
She picked up the blood test results from the day before and skimmed through the report quickly, checking for any signs of infection.
When Katelyn saw that the report said no infection had been detected, a wave of relief washed over her.
She logged into her private account under the alias Hades. She uploaded the photo of the report.
The public opinions and rumors kept building with every second.
It was time to set the record straight.
If these rumors spread any further, they could bring down everything she had carefully built.

Just as she finished uploading the report, Katelyn was about to log out when she noticed the trending topics had updated.
She saw her name was still gaining attention—but now it was paired with Vincent’s.
“Katelyn’s Jealousy Explodes, Publicly Admits to Liking Vincent!”
The headline hit Katelyn like a punch, leaving her frozen for a moment.
How could they come up with something so outrageous? When had she ever said she liked Vincent?
She clicked the link, and quickly, she realized the chaos was all based on a made-up story she’d told Zoey yesterday, trying to calm her down.
Zoey had kept pressing for an answer, and after a while, Katelyn had reluctantly nodded. But even that hadn’t been enough to stop Zoey from jumping off the building. In no time, the audio clip of their conversation had spread like wildfire, racking up tens of millions of views. The clip didn’t just fuel rumors about Katelyn and Vincent; it also made her seem like the real reason for Zoey’s extreme actions.
The online craze, which had momentarily quieted down, had flared up again.
Katelyn’s frown deepened as she scrolled through a constant flood of attacks.
Some angry netizens had even started dragging her alias, Hades, into the mess.
