At the Eden Castle .
Jessica leaned on the sofa and flipped through her phone, smirking as she looked at the trolling comments. She paid to get Shadow ‘s interview to be the top trending topic. She also paid an army of Weibo trolls to curse Shadow . Even those websites that held different opinions before began to turn hostile to Shadow .
Although Shadow had claimed that she didn’t have anything to do with the paparazzi, she didn’t believe so. In fact, no matter how that woman had pushed her to believe, Jessica always believed that she had something to do with this. But it didn’t matter. That woman didn’t think of the whole picture when she had gone against her, and now she was paying the price.
Seeing how ruthlessly Shadow was being sworn, Jessica couldn’t stop her smile.
So what if their conversation was caught by paparazzi? That was just an empty talk. But Shadow had admitted in front of all the media outlets that she was simply hyping herself up to get a better job.
There was no way that ugly woman could beat her!
Jessica went online for a while and then went to sleep contentedly.
However, when she fell asleep, something unexpected happened.
She was woken up by a call from her friend. “Jessica , someone just posted a few videos and photos of you. What’s going on? Did you offend someone?”
As soon as she heard of her ‘photos and videos’, her heart stirred in her chest. They obviously weren’t any good.
Frustrated and annoyed, Jessica pulled her hair as she went to the Internet. As soon as the site was refreshed, her name was on top of the trending list, and she immediately saw her face being tagged under all these social media outlets. Upon scanning through the explicit pictures posted online, her face paled.
Everyone on the Internet was discussing her. Acquaintances were expressing their surprise upon seeing her in these pictures.
Her indecent photos and videos had gone viral online. From her acting lewdly in front of different men to her dancing up on the bar, they were all posted all over the web.
Although the Eden ‘s was not as prestigious as the Lances family, they were certainly quite reputable. To others, Jessica was an angel, a classical beauty, one reeked of innocence. All of her friends included women from good families, and they were all respected by the upper class. Any woman would want to be them while any man would want to be with them.
However, it seemed that these appearances were only on surface level. In public, they looked like a lady. But actually, they did all sorts of dirty things in dark.
Jessica ‘s shook her head as her hand trembled. “How could they know…”
There were many netizens who tagged her name to curse her.
“Bitch! Shameless!”
“You still have the face to ask your sister to clear things up for you? Let’s see how you can clear this up now!”
Seeing this, Jessica was trembling with anger. And she swore at them too.
Suddenly, she thought of Henry.
It was midnight now, so he probably wouldn’t have the time see all these videos and photos posted online. That meant she was safe for now. She sighed in relief as she checked her messages, seeing that the man still hadn’t messaged her. He still didn’t know. Maybe there was still a chance that she could salvage this.
If Henry were to see them now, their relationship was finished!
She put on her cloths and knocked on Jason ‘s door. “Dad, Help me remove some posts from the trending list!”
On the other side of the Pack , Shadow hugged her knees and sat on the bed. She was too busy chatting with Hazel on the video screen as she scanned through the numerous comments regarding Jessica ‘s scandalous pictures.
Hazel was a bully when she was in school. Now that she had become a star, she appeared to be cautious. But her love for drama remained unchanged.
She jumped excitedly, reading through all the comments.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
“I have long felt that Jessica wasn’t a good person, she’s just good at covering it up!”
“She may look like a lady, but she’s nothing but a devil in disguise.”
“Attention guys. Her sister married into the Lances family became they knew Jessica was messing around outside. I heard that her sister was not good-looking, but she is pure. Jessica was pretty, but she’s just a slut. Who would want to mated her?”
Hazel paused before nodding in agreement. “It actually made a lot of sense. Do you think the Lances family knew of her matters beforehand? That’s why they didn’t complain when the Eden family made a switch?”
Shadow frowned. She hadn’t taught of this possibility before.
“Well, no matter what happens, this is exactly what Jessica wants. She can be with Henry without any pressure now.”
Hazel and Henry were actually distant relatives. Rolling her eyes in disgust, Hazel leaned back on her chair. “Although Henry is a retard, he wouldn’t allow himself to mated someone like her.”
…
After chatting with Hazel till midnight, Shadow woke up a little later than usual the next morning.
Turning on the computer, she went online to see what was happening, only to see that all of Jessica ‘s indecent photos and videos had been removed. No matter how much she had scrolled down, these pictures were absolutely nowhere to be seen.
The previous topics and tags had all turned black.
There was no need to guess. It was probably Jason ‘s work.
From a young age, Shadow had rarely communicated with her father. But it was obvious that Jason absolutely adored Jessica with all his heart, wanting to do everything for her. Even if she was a troublemaker by blood and had implicated the family name in all sorts of scandals, he still managed to push through.
So what if he removed the trending? It didn’t matter anymore. Those drama-loving netizens had already saved the screenshots. They would spread them to more people. At this point, it was already too late for any of them to clear it up.
Shadow had just finished washing and changing when she received a phone call from Hazel.
“Imagine my anger when I saw that all the trending topics were removed! Do they think that they could get the better of me? I could buy a million trolls to get all her pictures up on the list. That slut better be ready!”
Hazel changed the name of Jessica to “bitch.”
Shadow comforted her. “Don’t be so impulsive. Her name’s already ruined now anyway. But you have a new movie being released in the next month. More people would concentrate on your actions, and if they saw that you’ve bought a few trolls to harass her, it would affect you. Let me handle it.”
Hazel reluctantly agreed. “Fine. Come out for lunch. I’m going back to the movie set tomorrow. I’ll pick you up.”
“Sure.”
…
As she was passing by Alpha Kilian ‘s study, she couldn’t help but stop.
She didn’t see him yesterday, and she didn’t know if “Alpha Dominic ” was telling the truth or not that Alpha Kilian was really angry at her.
Could she peek in? Just to see if he was okay? Or should she just let it go and wait for him to call her?
However, before she could even move, the door of the study was opened from inside.
Shadow immediately stepped back and raised her head to see “Alpha Dominic ‘s” expressionless face.
She was shocked and asked. “Is… your cousin here?”
“What do you want from him?” Closing the door from behind him, he leaned against the door frame, gazing at her.
Strangely, there wasn’t any playfulness tied to his voice at all. Upon taking a closer look, she found that his face was a little pale, and he didn’t look good. But his pitch-black eyes were still deep.
A part of her was curious as to why he looked at that, but she immediately shook her head. This wasn’t any of her business anyway.
“Nothing.”
After she finished speaking, she turned around and went downstairs.
Suddenly, a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground came from behind her.
Shadow turned around and saw that “Alpha Dominic “, who had been standing straight earlier, fell to the ground. He was trembling and shivering, and his face had turned deathly pale.
Shadow ran back and wanted to help him up. “Alpha Dominic , are you okay? What’s wrong?”
Although she hated him very much, it was impossible for her to stand there when something happened to him.
When she looked at him closely, she found his lips turning blue. His eyes were closed. His long eyelashes were spread out like a large fan, casting a layer of shadow over his cheeks. Sweat beaded down the sides of his face as he continually shivered under her grip. He looked much more obedient now.
She grasped him even tighter before reaching out to touch his forehead.
As soon as their skin connected, Shadow drew back her hand. He was burning!
The man was 1. 9 meters tall, so it was impossible for her to get him up all by herself. So she rushed to the staircase and shouted. “”Is anyone there? Come up, please! Kilian has fainted!”
As soon as he heard her, a bodyguard ran up the stairs and carried Alpha Kilian to his room.
Soon a doctor came.
Shadow watched by the sides as everyone were all busy here. Even then, she still didn’t see Alpha Kilian coming into his cousin’s bedroom.
Feeling that the situation had nothing to do with her, she decided to leave. After all, if her husband wasn’t here, she’d not need to be here herself, right?
However, just as she was about to leave, Frank rushed towards her. “Young Madame, Do you mind taking care of Young Master for a while?”
Although him calling the man ‘Young Master’ seemed a bit strange, she didn’t think much of it.
“But I still have something to do.” She glanced at her watch. It was almost time for lunch, so Hazel was about to arrive anytime soon.
“Mom… No… Please…”
At this time, Alpha Kilian , who was lying on the bed, suddenly began to speak nonsense.
Shadow turned around only to see that the confident and arrogant expression on his face had completely faded. On that bed was not the man who had teased her, but a frightened boy. His jaw was clenched and he looked very fragile.
What he had gone through to feel so much pain?
Seeing this, her heart softened, and she nodded.
Besides, there weren’t any maids in the Castle , and the bodyguards were men. They wouldn’t be able to take care of him, even if they tried.
