In front of the camera, Lisa cried pitifully, lamenting being informed by the company. suspending her endorsements, indicating the company might shelve her. She portrayed herself as heartbroken, claiming to have suffered a sleepless night.
Lisa also indirectly blamed Phoebe, implying that Phoebe had caused her current state. She further complained about the recent accusations due to the resemblance between her and the woman in bed with Caleb. She asserted her innocence, stating that she and Caleb were just ordinary friends.
In the ward, as Lisa melodramatically acted before the camera, the atmosphere became especially
tense.
Sheena checked the comments section and noticed that many people were beginning to
to sympathize with Lisa. Since Phoebe’s interview had just concluded and had not been posted online yet, Lisa’s performance shifted public opinion, and many uninformed netizens criticized Phoebe for being cunning, accusing her of deliberately seeking attention by jumping into the lake.
The public opinion on the Caleb cheating incident also swayed drastically, creating a divided view.
“This woman is simply shameless! I haven’t even confronted her yet, and she’s already indirectly attacking me!”
Watching Lisa’s insincere cry on the screen, Phoebe felt disgusted. She wanted to throw her phone but refrained, considering the cost. Being a girl who had experienced hardship, she could not bear to waste money on a new phone. Instead, she pounded the pillow furiously, imagining it was Lisa’s face.
Observing Phoebe’s venting, Sheena shook her head with an amused smile.
“Why are you getting mad? She’s just trying to disgust you. You’ll be falling right into her trap if you let her get to you like this.”
Sheena then turned to Michelle. “Ignore Lisa. Let her make a fuss. The more she puts on a show, the more embarrassing her fall will be!”
“Yes, Ms. Lawson.”
Sheena called Wendy and ordered, “Tomorrow, find a major influencer to post on social media. Claim that the blurred photo has been traced back to its origin, revealing that the woman in the bed with Caleb is Lisa. Half an hour later, use the Angle Group’s official Twitter account to announce the termination of Lisa’s contract and declare her exit from the Butterflies.”
Initially, Sheena had reservations about tarnishing Lisa’s reputation, so she obscured Lisa’s identity, planning to let Phoebe handle the matter privately. Little did she expect Lisa to be so audacious and escalate the situation.
Now, Sheena decided not to give that despicable woman any chances. With all the preparations in place, Sheena instructed Phoebe to continue packing and prepare to leave the hospital.
“In the next few days, the media will probably knock on your door for interviews. My suggestion is that you decline all their interviews, claiming that you’ve already made a statement. It’s in your best interest to maintain your silence at this point.”
Phoebe nodded, saying, “Alright. I’ll follow your advice.”
After some contemplation, Sheena continued, “Your previous apartment is probably swarming with reporters and media staff by now. I’ll arrange a place for you where nobody would dare to disturb you.

Sheena pondered for a while. Looking across the entire Svelton, the Lawson estate seemed like the only place where the media would not dare to intrude.
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to Howard’s mansion to stay for a few days.
“Mr. Howard’s mansion?” Phoebe hesitated, feeling a bit uneasy. “Isn’t that a bit inappropriate? Might it be too much of a bother for him?”
“It’s fine. Howard has multiple residences. He rarely returns to his small mansion at the Lawson estate. Even if he does, I’ll explain the situation to him in a couple of days. You can stay there temporarily. It’s quiet, and no one will disturb you.”
Phoebe fell silent. She could temporarily stay for a few days and clean up the mansion before leaving. It would not be a big issue, right?
“Alright. I’ll go along with your suggestion.”
Sheena escorted Phoebe, who was bundled up tightly and fully armed against the cold, out of the hospital.
They headed straight for Mountville.
Previously, Howard had given Sheena the keys to his mansion, which she handed to Phoebe. After giving her some instructions, Sheena then returned to the Angle Group.
