Chapter 137:
The frenzy was unstoppable, the digital storm swirling with gossip, speculation, and outrage. Each comment on the post seemed sharper than the one before, laced with venom and judgment.
Within an hour, the post skyrocketed to the top of trending topics, propelled by Colden’s immense popularity. His star power ensured that the drama wouldn’t go unnoticed.
Before long, the narrative shifted almost unanimously, branding Yelena as a scheming heartbreaker. Fingers pointed at her with accusations of disloyalty, and an alarming number of people were calling for her to be expelled from her university.
Meanwhile, Bella and Bernice had settled into a cozy booth at a nearby diner, digging into their food with smug satisfaction as they scrolled through the growing storm on their phones. Whenever Bella spotted a comment defending Yelena, she swooped in with another stinging remark to redirect the narrative.
After dropping her own snarky comments here and there, Bella couldn’t help but feel a sense of triumph—she had definitely sparked the chaos. It had turned into a wildfire she couldn’t control, even if she wanted to.
By the time she set her phone down, Bella wore a triumphant smirk. She leaned back, her voice dripping with venom. “Yelena, you really think you can stand against me? Keep dreaming! The world’s about to see you for the two-faced flirt you are p>
Yelena, blissfully unaware of the chaos brewing online, was jolted into reality when her phone buzzed. Brody’s voice came through the line, tense and urgent.
“Yelena, we’ve got a problem. Someone snapped pictures of you with Colden, and now they’ve been leaked online p>
“It’s going wild, and the comments are… let’s just say they’re not kind,” Brody said, his voice urgent.
Yelena paused, her expression calm and unreadable. When she finally spoke, her voice was composed. “I see p>
“I can step in and take care of this,” Brody offered, his concern evident. “You don’t need to deal with it yourself p>
He knew this was a small crisis that didn’t need Yelena to lift a finger.
“No need; I’ll take care of it. I want to find out who’s behind these rumors,” Yelena said, her voice sharp and cold. Anyone who knew her well could tell—she was truly angry now.
“Alright,” Brody replied, silently sending his best wishes to whoever had managed to provoke Yelena.
As soon as Yelena hung up, her expression hardened into cold determination. Picking up her phone, her fingers flew over the screen with lightning speed, her focus unshakable.
In mere moments, a wave of confusion swept through the website as users began to notice something unusual. The once-anonymous comment IDs had changed. The cloak of anonymity had vanished.
Each comment now boldly displayed the real name of the person who had posted it, leaving no room for escape. Panic set in almost immediately.
Many of those who’d been leaving nasty comments had thought they could get away with it, convinced that the Internet was a wild west where they could say whatever they wanted without facing any consequences. But now, their true identities were out in the open, and there was no place left for them to hide.
