“I knew it! So what if she’s Selina? A year ago, she stole trade secrets, and a year later, her identity isn’t going to magically clear her name! A convict is still a convict!”

“My filter for Selina is completely shattered now. Why does Tess only ever do illegal things?”

“Ever since her identity as Selina came out, public opinion has been one–sided. I never liked her in the first place. Who gets it? It’s satisfying to see someone you hate exposed again!”

The comment section was a battlefield of its own.

Some were fence–sitters who had suddenly switched sides. Others swooped in after, acting as if they’d seen it coming all along. But without exception, every remark dripped with sarcasm and disdain toward Tess.

Tess’s expression was cold as she scrolled through the top–liked comments.

Her mind was sharper than ever.

Her gaze shifted to the design draft she had set aside.

Currently, the public was firmly against her. Even if she released a new design, it wouldn’t reverse her reputation—if anything, the bad press would drag sales down and damage Cavrielle’s performance.

She weighed the situation calmly.

She had been in court that day only as a companion, surrounded by dozens of people who all knew she hadn’t spoken. Steven’s defense lawyer was Tommy.

And yet she couldn’t stop herself from considering the worst.

Nadine had probably already bought off most of them–or pressured them from above into keeping quiet. Otherwise, after so much time had passed, there was no reason for everyone to be even more convinced of her guilt.

Her fingers tapped lightly on the desk. Her expression was utterly calm, as if the flood of hateful comments wasn’t aimed at her at all.

After everything she’d been through, the greatest change in her was her state of mind.

Tess lowered her eyes as her hand curled into a fist.

When she looked back at the screen, a strange glint flashed in her gaze.

The truth was right there in the open; clearing her name was only a matter of time.

What she cared about now was how to turn this wave of online hate into a tool for her own gain.

At the moment, hashtags about Tess attending court without a license have garnered tens of thousands of posts. Any headline with “Tess” was at the top of the trending page.

If it wasn’t just a rumor, this would no doubt be a wave of overwhelming traffic–but it’s not impossible to turn it to mutual benefit.

Tess narrowed her eyes, only to be interrupted by a sudden ringtone.

She glanced at the phone, and Abel’s name flashed across the screen.

She frowned and was ready to block the call when a message from him popped up.

“If you don’t answer, I’ll come to find you.”

A few simple words, yet she could almost see his cold, handsome face and that unyielding

stance.

She pressed her lips together in resignation and answered.

“Have you decided how you’re going to handle it?”

His voice was nothing like its usual teasing drawl–there was a hard, steady edge to it.

“Don’t worry. I have a plan.”

Her tone was light.

Abel was silent for a moment. “Cavrielle’s been affected too. Connor can barely manage his own mess. And with Steven involved, the best move is to keep your distance. So, Tess, you could always consider me.”

His voice was still as bold and wild as ever.

Hearing about Cavrielle made Tess’s composure waver.

She quickly searched for updates on Cavrielle’s situation and found it worse than she’d

Many netizens were now boycotting Cavrielle because of her. Even designs she had never touched were being demanded for removal without any reason.

Some outright stated that unless she was fired immediately, Cavrielle could wait to be shunned by the entire industry.

Just skimming the latest reports made her brow tighten sharply.

She had underestimated the sheer madness of these people.

Without replying to Abel, she typed a message to Connor asking about Cavrielle’s current

state.

His answer was as calm as ever, “It’s fine. Do what you need to do.”

Her eyes flickered.

It was as if he already knew what she intended.

Aside from the personal attacks against her, the rest of the news was all about Cavrielle.
