“And, Russell, as soon as he saw me getting attacked online, he immediately wanted to divorce me to distance himself. My


    parents berated me for my moral decay, regretting that they had ever given birth to a daughter like me. Everyone has abandoned


    me, and | don’t know how to go on anymore!.


    Veronica’s expression was one of absolute despair as she finished speaking. She buried her face in her hands, crying with a


    wrenching sob that seemed toe from the depths of her heart.


    The reporter, touched by her distress,forted her. “Don’t be so upset, Miss Webb. This isn’t your fault. You were deceived by


    Russell. You''re just a young girl caught up in love. It’s understandable that you made a mistake. But no matter what, you need to


    stay strong. Don’t give up on your life just because of this,” After consoling her, the reporter released Veronica, gazing


    thoughtfully at the camera. “I believe many people, just like me, will stand by your side after hearing your story. We''ll help you


    seek forgiveness from your sister, Violet, and your family. As for Russell, he’s just a scoundrel. Now that you''ve recognized his


    true nature, it’s best to stay away from him in the future. There’s no need to feel sad because of him. Many young girls encounter


    scoundrels. You don’t have to think of yourself as foolish. Always remember, you didn’t make a mistake. The scoundrel did.


    You''re still young with a bright future ahead. You shouldn''t give up on yourself so easily. You should pick yourself up and enjoy


    the beautiful life ahead.”Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    The video ended at this point. However, Violet instantly understood Veronica’s intentions. Clearly, Veronica tried to gain public


    sympathy by pretending to take her own life, and this tactic worked extremely well. After hearing her interview, people felt deep


    sympathy for her and leftforting and supportivements online.


    Violet checked thements section and saw manyizens expressing their support for Veronica.


    “| stand with Veronica. She looks genuinely innocent and not scheming at all. Besides, you''ve all noticed, right? The evidence


    online was all from Violet and Russell’s chat, nothing to do with Veronica. She’s innocent.”


    “Yeah, | feel the same way. And about that video in the restaurant where the couple flirted under the table, so what? Veronica


    didn’t know Russell was deceiving her.”


    “| agree. Poor Veronica, used and now dumped by that scoundrel. Even her own sister and family won’t forgive her. How can she


    go on like this? If it were me facing something like this, I''d want to end it too.”


    “Veronica, so kind-hearted and at such a young age, must be on the verge of a breakdown. Honestly, how can Violet treat her


    like this? | mean, they’re sisters


    after all. Her own sister made a mistake, and she’s being this heartless.”


    “Yeah, even if Veronica copied her work, why didn’t she speak up two years ago when she was the one getting copied? She


    could endure it back then, but now she can’t forgive Veronica? Her sister made a mistake, and instead of guiding her, she’s using


    ruthless means to push her to the brink. She’s such a terrible sister.”


    *After hearing Veronica’s plight, even a stranger would surely forgive her. But Violet continues to persecute her. She’s just too


    malicious.”


    Veronica, stay strong. Don’t give in to despair. We all support you. Stay away from scoundrels and protect yourself.”


    However, there were still some rationalments in thement section. Some people pointed out that while there was not


    enough evidence to prove Veronica was lying, it was also not right to take everything she said as the absolute truth based on her


    side of the story.


    Unfortunately, most people preferred to stand with the perceived underdog, and there were not many willing to calm down and


    critically analyze the facts.


    As Violet watched Veronica’s self-directed drama unfold and observed the online supporters who saw themselves as champions


    of justice for Veronica, she felt a sense of irony. She had to give credit to Veronica. She was truly clever. She had seized the


    opportunity, shifted the me onto Russell, and fully portrayed herself as a helpless victim. With her suicidal attempt, she had


    garnered public sympathy, sessfully whitewashing her image.


    Russell was now suffering a tarnished reputation, with Veronica shifting all the me onto him. He had no way to escape this


    mess.


    Violet had not expected Veronica toe up with such a cunning n so quickly after her failed attempt to drug her and create a


    compromising video. She sat with a serious expression, staring at herputer screen, contemting her next steps. If Violet


    continued to press charges against Veronica, it might be sessful, but it would also likely lead to more public bacsh against


    Violet.


    Just as Violet was deep in thought, Henry''s phone call came in.


    Violet''s eyes flickered. She stepped outside, holding her phone to her ear.


    As she left the room, the design department began buzzing with conversation.


    “What do you all think about the online news?”


    “What can we think? The fact that Violet’s design was giarized is clear, but now with Veronica’s act, the whole situation has


    taken a different turn.”


    “Yeah, she’s turned herself into an innocent victim, iming she was deceived by love, betrayed by a scumbag, and even tried to


    take her own life. Even if Violet wins thewsuit, it won’t make much of a difference. People just aren''t on her side.”


    “She may win thewsuit, but she''ll definitely lose public support.”


    “So will she continue with thewsuit? Or does it even matter anymore?”


    “Who knows? It all depends on Mr. Hersey.”
