My rage peaked when I spotted the headlines.


    It was one thing for Alexandria to target Caleb and me, but fabricating stories about Abby was crossing a line.


    Alexandria’s ploy had worked.


    I was incensed.


    While I pondered my next move, whether to refute or retaliate, my phone rang.


    It was Caleb.


    He’d obviously seen the trending scandal.


    Without hesitation, he said, “Ignore the chaos online.


    Don’t let it get to you.


    I’m on it.


    ”


    His words calmed me somewhat, prompting me to ask, “Do you have a n?”


    His tone chilled.


    “I’m aware of what happened when you were in the witch n and that Abby is my daughter.


    I’ll set the record straight at a press conference and have someone warn Alexandria.


    If she persists with her fabrications online, I won’t hesitate to detain her.


    ”


    I couldn’t suppress a chuckle.


    Despite the difort of the rumors, knowing Caleb stood firmly by my side was reassuring.


    My mood Lifted slightly, and my tone was noticeably calmer.


    “Actually, there’s no need to confront Alexandria right now or to clear anything up.


    I’m more interested in finding out what she truly wants and what grievances she still holds against us.


    ”


    Caleb, however, didn’t see it my way.


    He responded with a worried expression, “No, I can’t agree.


    I’m too concerned about you and Abby.


    I can’t bear the thought of either of you enduring this situation a moment longer.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    ”


    I retorted, “I don’t even know these people online.


    They can say whatever they like.


    No matter how many of them criticize me on the inte, it won’t impact our lives.


    ”


    “But…” Caleb’s worry lingered.


    I reassured him, “Don’t fret.


    Let’s just sit back and watch Alexandria unravel.


    She’s only hurting herself with her actions.


    ”


    Eventually, Caleb let himself be convinced by my perspective and decided to disregard the online rumors for the time being.


    Meanwhile, Alexandria continued to sponsor trending searches.


    Scandals about Caleb’s past rtionships and my own troubled history were dragged into the Light.


    The onlinemunity rallied behind Alexandria, perhaps inting her ego.


    She boasted during a live stream that only a woman of her caliber was truly suitable for Caleb.


    Debra’s POV:


    During the live stream, Alexandria looked pale as a ghost, clearly not fully recovered.


    Yet, she pushed through and made a big show of staking her im on Caleb.


    Watching it all on my phone, I couldn’t stopughing.


    Caleb feared the online drama would upset me, so he ditched work to stay home with me today.


    When he heard meughing so hard, he asked, “What are you looking at? What’s so funny?”


    But as soon as he saw Alexandria on the screen, his face darkened.


    “Stop watching her.


    She’s nuts.


    What’s so funny about this?”


    But I didn’t see it that way.


    I smiled and said, “Why wouldn’t I watch it? I’m curious to see what Alexandria will say next.


    Maybe she’ll use you of sleeping with her and then ditching her.


    Or she’ll keep talking about my engagement to Andrew or Abby’s identity.
