Chapter 983
Chapter 982:
Snatching up her phone, Wanda dove back into the online commotion.
The whispers about Lilah supposedly stealing Cole from the Campbell heiress—those were Wanda’s doing, the product of her hired smear campaign. She had hoped that envy and spite would catch on like wildfire, but those rumors barely took root.
Now, she was determined to escalate the situation. She doubled down on her efforts, wiring an even bigger chunk of cash to a handful of troll farms, each one more ruthless than the last.
These trolls didn’t care about truth or decency. With Wanda’s money in their pockets, they flooded social media and news sites with venom, unleashing a nonstop barrage of hateful comments and slanderous stories.
And this time, the smear campaign actually took off. It seemed like overnight, everyone online was convinced Lilah was nothing but a tramp, knowingly seducing Cole while he was supposedly engaged to the Campbell heiress. Accusations of shamelessness spread like wildfire.
Elliana and Cole hadn’t even made it back to Harmony Estate before the rumors exploded across every platform, with fresh waves of slander painting Lilah as the villain in hundreds of posts. Comment sections turned savage, the internet becoming a feeding frenzy.
Back at the university, the crowd that had gathered to gawk at Cole and Lilah still hadn’t dispersed. Dozens of onlookers cornered Trinity, pelting her with questions about Cole’s engagement.
“Trinity, you told everyone that Wanda was engaged to Cole. Why aren’t you stepping in while he’s off kissing Lilah in public p>
“So which is it? Did Lilah steal Wanda’s man, or was there never an engagement at all? Were you just making things up p>
Trinity, overwhelmed with jealousy, couldn’t think straight. She had watched Cole drive off with Lilah, sobbing and resigned, her mind blank with heartbreak. But as the questions grew sharper and the crowd pressed closer, something bitter bloomed inside Trinity. If she couldn’t have Cole, then Lilah’s reputation would burn.
Don’t miss out gαℓησν𝒆ls․cøm
This was exactly the outcome Elliana had predicted from those vicious comments a while back—when it came to jealousy, Wanda and Trinity were perfectly matched in their cruelty.
Trinity’s eyes blazed as she spat out her accusation, “Lilah is nothing but a shameless woman! Cole’s engagement to the Campbell heiress was real, and Lilah barged in, shattering Wanda’s engagement without a second thought p>
Her words hung in the air, and Murray, still standing nearby, felt a flicker of satisfaction. Lilah had brushed him off one too many times, making him feel small. Watching Trinity drag Lilah’s name through the mud gave him a twisted sense of payback. So, he let Trinity run wild, eagerly backing her as the crowd lapped up every accusation.
Quentin, watching from the sidelines, said nothing to stop the lies. He only studied the scene with narrowed eyes, his true thoughts impossible to read.
Once Trinity set the tone, the crowd went into a frenzy.
