Tessa felt a wave of disappointment in her heart.

Since the call was from Jasmine, it probably wasn’t about Seline.

“Hello, Jasmine. What’s wrong?” Tessa answered the phone while glancing at the time. It was only 7:30 am.

It was Saturday, so why was Jasmine up so early?

Before she could think further, Jasmine’s loud, frantic voice burst through the line. “Something happened, Tessa! Someone’s spreading rumors about you online!”

Tessa froze. “What?”

“They’re slandering you! Calling you a homewrecker! It’s all over the trending topics-go check it out!” Jasmine said with a voice full of anxiety.

Tessa frowned and opened Twitter’s trending list.

Scanning through the rankings, only the sixth trending topic seemed relevant. #DeeDeeSaysHerRelationshipWas InterruptedByAThirdParty

Tessa clicked on it.

A promotional post from a gossip account read, “Breaking news! A famous influencer with five million followers on TikTok, known as ‘DeeDee’ claimed during

a live stream that a third party interfered in her relationship—and that third party is actually a lawyer!”

Below the text was a video clip.

Tessa tapped to play it.

The moment Wendy appeared on screen, Tessa instantly understood what had happened.

The video was a recording of Wendy’s live stream.

Tessa only watched for a few minutes before she couldn’t take any more.

When it came to distorting the truth, no one could beat Wendy. She was the one who had come between someone else’s relationship, yet with just a few words, she had shifted all the blame onto someone else.

“Tessa, are you still there?” Jasmine asked worriedly. “Did you see the trending topic?”

“I saw it, but it’s fine. Don’t worry about me.”

After hanging up, Tessa made another call. She gave a few brief instructions and then ended the call.

Less than half an hour later, the trending topic disappeared from Twitter.

Shortly after, Everbright Law Group issued a legal statement announcing their intention to sue Wendy for defamation.

The drama didn’t stop there. Two hours later, Zachary posted on his social media account.

“I’m not in a romantic relationship with Ms. Cox. Ms. Yates is not a third party.”

The internet exploded at the revelation.

“What? Did Mr. Gomez clarify things himself? Am I seeing this right?”

“Wait, so DeeDee isn’t Mr. Gomez’s girlfriend? Then what about all those lovey- dovey videos she posted?”

“I heard that DeeDee is actually the homewrecker here. She was the one who interfered and caused Mr. Gomez and Ms. Yates to break up. Wow, she actually had the nerve to play the victim online.”

“Seriously? A thief crying thief!”

“Unbelievable! I’ve never seen a homewrecker act so righteous

Pol

before. She’s the third party, but she

incited her fans to cyberbully

someone else.”

“DeeDee’s downfall is finally here! Who else is loving this? I’ve been waiting for this day!”

“Just a neutral bystander here, but honestly, she gives off major manipulative vibes.”

Meanwhile, Stephen’s face darkened as he listened to his assistant’s report.

“Contact Tik Tok and have Wendy’s account permanently banned!”
