Chapter 2412


    Seren couldn''t shake the feeling that she was dealing with someone well above her pay grade.


    Having rubbed elbows with the high and mighty, thewyer Mara chose must be more skilled than


    the one she could find. And to top it off, there was no way she''d be asked to foot the bill for such


    steep legal fees. The leftover cash could be stashed away for a fresh start in a new city once this


    whole mess was over.


    "Come on, you should''ve just said so earlier, and we wouldn''t have had to grill you about it,” Seren


    chided with a half-heartedugh. “You''re the one who''s been abroad, right? You must know way


    more than us about this kind of stuff.”


    After ending the call, Seren let out a long sigh of relief. Then, she was back online, scrolling through


    the heatedments under the gossip posts she had ignited.


    The top-likedment, anonymously upvoted by Seren with another ount, read: [Can you


    believe Ivy? With her shoddy behavior, she’s still an actress. Shows how low the bar''s gotten.]


    Indeed, it seemed like anyone could be an actor these days, even be a star.


    What was so special about Ivy?


    Surprisingly, many people liked her, and she could still make a substantial amount of


    money.


    Seren felt a deep sense of injustice.


    [Actress sneaks into director''s room after hours — no wonder shended the lead with Colton so


    early in her career!]


    Seren mulled over her crafted headline, convinced it was both sensational and cryptic enough to set


    the inte aze on an otherwise tranquil day. She reveled in the scandalous details she''d


    concocted about Ivy and hit send without hesitation.This content belongs to N?/velDra/ma.Org .


    The inte erupted once more.


    [Disgusting. Just as we all suspected. How could a newbiend a role in a Colton flick without some


    behind-the-scenes action?]


    [Shocked, truly shocked. My former favorite actress turns out to be this kind of person! And to think


    I bought her innocent act in the trailers.]


    [LOL, told you so. Some people are just fakes. Cot cursed out by her fans for days, and I still get


    hate. This is what some actresses deserve.]


    “Leo, take a look at this. Seren’s at it again, spreading rumors with a new post. Tsk, the lies are even


    more preposterous this time, downright disgraceful. I can’t fathom how such a vague post has


    people assuming it''s about Ms. Dunhill.”

    Chapter 2412


    The legalmunity was abuzz with the news that Ivy was the granddaughter-inw of none other


    than Alyssa Howard. The nder heaped upon the Howard family’s darling by facelessizens was


    enough to make anyone''s blood run cold.


    “Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. She''spletely ignored my warnings. If she’s so hell-


    bent on self-destruction, then we don''t need to hold back. Gather all the


    evidence-her sneaky upvotes, the nt of thements, everything. She''s done for.”


    “Understood.”


    They had hoped a scare might be enough to set her straight, but Seren was clearly addicted to


    ying the insider. Barely off a warning call, and she was brazenly peddling half-truths. Some


    people never learn.


    "We''ll ensure she learns the hard way that spreading lies and tarnishing someone''s reputation


    comes with a hefty price tag.”


    Especially when that someone was Alyssa’s pride and joy — a person Seren couldn''t afford


    to cross.


    Mara hung up from Seren, her grip on her phone turning her knuckles white. She wasn''t sure what


    Balfour knew, but if he did know something, why hadn''t he confronted her directly?
