Elizabeth clenched her fists, anger boiling.


    Matthew was unfazed by her anger.


    He then called Fernando to escort her out.


    Gritting her teeth, Elizabeth retorted, “You’re blinded by this so-called love! You’ll regret trampling all over my good intentions sooner orter.


    Just wait, I’ll make youe crawling back!”


    She turned, only to encounter Fernando at the door.


    With a cold snort, she stormed out.


    Furious after leaving Prosperity Group, Elizabeth got in her car and shut the door with a bang.


    Matthew’s indifference and contempt only fueled her anger.

    Suddenly, a name popped into her head.


    She reached for her phone and dialed a number.


    As Ste was sketching, herputer kept buzzing with iing messages.


    Initially, she ignored them, but as she moved to silence the alerts, her name shed across the screen, catching her eye.


    Instinctively, she clicked on it, only to find herself the target of harsh words and ridicule.


    “Ste? Does anyone even want her designs anymore? She’s notorious for bullying people around Seamarsh.


    ”

    She blocks their paths in the design world.

    “Seriously, how bold! Aren’t you scared the legal team at Prosperity Group wille after you for speaking up? So terrifying…”


    It seemed as though there was a deliberate effort to skew public perception against her.


    The web was awash with defamation, and someone had even twisted the story about Devyn to use against her.


    Ste hadn’t anticipated that before they could find out the person behind the rumor-mongers in Dorburn, there would already be trouble brewing back home.


    Her expression grew stern as she rushed to find Matthew, needing to devise a n.

    She nodded briefly at him before turning to Matthew, her voice tense with concern.

    “I was discussing this with Fernando.


    ”


    He had intended to keep it from Ste, but now, it was clear he couldn’t conceal it any longer.


    He nced at Fernando and replied softly, “Tell us everything you’ve uncovered.


    ”


    Ste turned to Fernando as well.


    In aposed voice, Fernando revealed, “The source of the rumor at home has been identified.


    It was Rylie.


    ”


    “Rylie?” Ste echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief.


    Matthew was equally taken aback.


    Neither had considered Rylie capable of such deception.


    They believed the issue was resolved when they dismissed Rylie without banning her from the industry.


    Yet, here she was, stirring chaos once again.
