Suddenly, the internet exploded.
"Sky lanterns—wait, are they talking about the sky lanterns I'm thinking of? I'll pay any price!"
"Yes! That's the one!"
"Oh my god, this is practically a public announcement. Tyler's gone to such lengths for Vivienne; he's not even trying to hide it from Emilia anymore. He doesn't care what she thinks!"
"That tanzanite he won at auction can't be worn immediately, right? It'll take time to have it made into jewelry. But she's running out of time—Vivienne must have wanted it just to show her love."
"I can't even imagine how devastated Tyler's going to be, staring at that tanzanite after Vivienne is gone."
"They should inlay the tanzanite on Vivienne's urn. I'm crying…"
"Vivienne's had so many events these last few days, she literally collapsed from exhaustion. And yet, she still managed to look so dignified—she even told the press not to speculate, which was her way of protecting Emilia from negative press."
"She's so good. I can't stop crying."
"How can someone be this kind?"
"Emilia, did you see that? If you did, you should just pack your bags and leave!"
"How can Emilia, who can't even walk on her own, possibly compare to Vivienne?"
Meanwhile, behind the scenes, Jack quickly ordered his team to get moving.
Within minutes, a new post appeared online: "Kind souls become angels watching over you. The word ‘saint' was never meant to be an insult."
The post detailed the beautiful love story between Tyler and Vivienne, highlighting Vivienne's many acts of kindness.
For example: Even though she was gravely ill, Vivienne chose to push herself to raise money for sick children instead of resting.
For example: When she could have used her illness as a weapon against Emilia, Vivienne chose instead to treat her with compassion.
Third, by simply making a monetary donation.
Typically, serious bidders would do both the second and third.
After winning two auction items, Tyler also made an additional donation.
Of course, there's nothing wrong with only donating, or only bidding, without going above and beyond.
But if you did none of the above, everyone saw right through you.
Still, this was only a rumor, and it never really caught fire.
The spotlight remained fixed on Vivienne and Tyler.
Even when reporters inside the gala later published their stories, the public's attention never wavered from the two of them.
