Turns out, even without Max’s help, Nadine could still pull it off.

The line was quiet for a beat before Max spoke, his tone sharp.

“Whatever’s been happening online lately–don’t tell me it’s got nothing to do with your Ember family.”

Nadine stiffened instantly, her guard snapping up.

“Max, don’t fool yourself. Just because Tess is divorcing Finn doesn’t mean she’ll ever look your way. She’s got half the city’s elites circling her now. That whole childhood sweetheart fantasy of yours? Long gone.”

Her words dripped with mockery.

Max clearly didn’t care.

In his mind, Tess was still the same gentle, traditional woman. Prison or not, kid or not, she was perfect for him.

“Listen, Nadine. Tess divorcing Finn doesn’t make you his fiancée. Instead of wasting breath mocking me, you should worry about how you’ll even hook him. I’ve heard he’s been drinking himself stupid lately, cancelling projects left and right. Every one he drops, Hunt Group picks up. You’d better pray that by the time you actually marry him, he’s still the richest man in Aetheris.”

He flicked a lighter, the click sharp and lazy, his tone carrying that dangerous edge.

Nadine’s face twisted, fury burning through her words. “Don’t even dream of it. Finn will always be Aetheris’s richest man–and his wife will only ever be me!”

“We’ll see.”

Beeep-

The call cut, the tone in her ear harsh and final.

Nadine’s chest rose and fell, unsteady.

She thought hard, then made another call.

“The situation’s blown up enough. Stop guiding the narrative. Get out clean while you still can.”

She hadn’t even lowered the phone when her door rattled under urgent knocks.

“Nadine, come out, now!”

Her father, Henry, always carried himself like a master of the house–steady, authoritative, untouchable. She’d never heard him sound so frantic.

She rushed downstairs and opened the door to his anxious, lined face.

“What’s wrong?”

Before she could ask more, he shoved a tablet into her arms.

“Look at the statement online. And my assistant called–someone’s digging into our family,

your mother.”

Nadine’s face went pale.

“Why would they drag my mom into this?”

She glanced at the tablet. Across the screen was Tess’s latest post.

“Henry Ember married my mother, Kylie Larson, years ago, yet secretly had an affair with her best friend, Shannon Bolton. Using a staged death as cover, they sent Nadine into the Ember household and raised her for over ten years.

“In those years, they neglected their own daughter, favored the adopted one, and even after I was discharged from the hospital with serious injuries, they kidnapped me and used my grandmother’s inheritance to force me to give Nadine blood transfusions. That’s what the viral video was about–I was retrieving what was rightfully mine.

“And professional analysis confirms that the video was edited. A full clarification will be released soon.

“All rumor–mongers who meet the threshold for legal action–I will pursue every one of you.”

The words landed like steel, silencing the internet in an instant.

Rumors evaporated. High–traffic posts vanished faster than anyone could react.

“Unbelievable. Sleeping with your best friend’s husband, then scheming to put your lovechild in the family? And Tess had to live under that roof for over ten years? If I were her, I’d choke on rage.”

“Doesn’t this feel staged? Like every time Tess rises, someone smears her? I wouldn’t be
