“We got tricked! Those Subway heroes? They’re just robbers!”
“I heard they got busted, and their account’s been wiped clean too.”
So, being emptied out like that probably meant that they had no more clout left.
Initially, the Subway Heroes were aiming to make it big by riding the wave of their
account’s clout.
“Just wiping the account clean is all they’re gonna do? They better come out and apologize ! Can you believe they tried to make a fortune by falsely accusing a woman?”
“Weren’t they confidently presenting their statements, claiming there was no deception? Turns out that it was all lies!”
“Now that the rumor–mongers have been caught, everyone’s trying to act innocent. But back then, it wasn’t just the Subway Heroes who wanted Aurelia to pay.”
“From this incident, we’ve learned that ex–colleagues can be as scary as ex–boyfriends…
From now on,
let’s not jump to conclusions online until we have all the facts.”
“Spreading rumors is easy. But when it’s time to debunk them, they try to avoid it.
Aurelia even had to use a presentation slide to defend herself, and that just shows us how
despicable those rumor–mongers are.
“But Aurelia has really impressed me. She stayed calm, negotiated with IN today, and even tackled the salacious rumors. She’s setting a great example.”

“Does anyone know how her negotiation with IN went? Does she have to pay 50 million?”
As the discussion peaked, Lucia had someone post a statement on social media. After all, being in the media industry herself, she knew just when to step in.
First, Lucia apologized and clarified that Aurelia wasn’t responsible for the necklace expenses. Then, she attributed everything to Eva’s errors at work and indicated that Eva
would cover the costs.
Afterward, Lucia seized the opportunity to announce an interview with Aurelia about women’s rights while also bringing up the charity event.
this series of actions combined with the promotion of the charity event proved Aurelia
right–it was indeed more effective than inviting celebrities.

In the age of the Internet, the public was already accustomed to celebrity scandals. But what interested them more were the things that directly affected themselves.
Meanwhile, Eva’s apology only came after Lucia’s statement.
However, her apology paled in comparison to Lucia’s heartfelt one.
She only vaguely cited misunderstandings with Aurelia due to certain reasons before shifting most of the blame to Kimberly. Then, she claimed that it was all unintentional and expressed her willingness to own up to her mistake and apologize.
Basically, she was okay with taking on some of the compensation, but she put the rest on Kimberly.
Kimberly was really in a mess this time.
If the necklace could be fixed, it might not cost too much. But if it couldn’t be fixed, aside from Eva’s compensation, Kimberly might need to get her wealthy husband involved.
But whether or not their marriage would proceed was still uncertain.
In Eva’s perspective, she’d thought that she could trick the netizens, but she didn’t expect everyone to see through her scheme.
“When she accused Aurelia, Eva regularly posted lengthy statements. But now that she knows she’s wrong, her apology barely even amounted to two sentences, and most of it was just shifting blame. Is that even considered an apology?”
“From this incident, it’s clear that the upper management at IN lacks consistency. Just look at how Lucia handles things. Whenever there’s a mistake, she owns up to it. She even arranged a special interview for Aurelia.”
“Is Eva fit to be the fashion director? Does IN not have any other better choices?”
“Boycott! Boycott!”
When Eva noticed everyone boycotting her, she got angry and turned off the comments.
However, that only made everyone think that she was hiding something.
As the focus shifted, netizens then began uncovering details about Eva and revealing her
past.
Surprisingly, many individuals who were bullied by Eva during high school stood up to boycott her.

“Eva, don’t think that moving to Carlino means that we’ve forgotten about what you did overseas. Whenever she and her bestie saw a girl prettier than them, they’d mess with her on purpose. She’s been playing the blame game for ages. I still have the old texts. from back then.”
In the texts, there was a girl who was pressured by Eva to meet up. Then, when she refused, Eva brought some folks to harass her downstairs at her apartment.
After that, the girl reluctantly went outside. However, she ended up being falsely accused of theft by the folks and taken to the local police station.
And because the girl was from an elite school, even a hint of wrongdoing was unacceptable. Hence, the girl was promptly expelled.
“Eva’s parents showed up at my place to intimidate my parents into silence, and it was all to stop me from speaking up. I’ve even got the video to prove it.”
The girl’s family was only considered middle–class overseas. So, she’d worked hard to gain admission into the elite school. And since her parents dared not act recklessly, they could only be controlled by Eva’s parents. Hence, after being threatened by them, they could only silently bow their heads to them.
“I’ve also been bullied by Eva and her bestie too–just because I bought a bag they didn’t have. That day, my bag was slashed, and the CCTV just happened to be broken. But the truth was, someone saw them messing with my bag, yet nobody dared to speak up about it because of who they were.”

“The guy that Eva had a crush on confessed his feelings to me. So, she trapped me in the boys‘ restroom with… well, a chubby dude. And ever since that day, rumors about the chubby guy and I have been spreading everywhere.”
