As the Zamora Group’s press conference video blew up online, it quickly became the talk of the internet.
Zara instantly shot to fame as the Zamora Group’s trending manager.
The whole diary incident got brought up again, but this time, people were actually supportive.
This time around, the comments section was full of positive vibes.
[Ms. Blanchard is seriously impressive. Even though she’s adopted into the Zamora family, she’s just as capable as Mr. Zamera.]
[See? When you admire someone amazing, you end up becoming better yourself. So we should all look up to people who are already awesome.]
[Honestly, Zara and Mr. Zamora make a great couple. They’re not even related by blood, so what’s stopping them from being together? Is it just that family label?]
[Hey, did you guys forget what Zara did a while back? She posted photos to expose her sister-in-law for having an affair, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding because of the camera angle.]
Did you guys even get the full story? It wasn’t Ms. Blanchard’s fault at all. She just trusted the wrong people, and that’s how the whole thing happened.]
Kara sent Marina screenshots of the comments, then shot off a few furious voice messages.
Kara: [Did everyone just forget already? That whole mess just happened!]
Kara: [Do these people even think for themselves? They’ll ship literally anyone together. Unbelievable.]
Kara: [Honestly, I bet they’re all a bunch of phonies!]
Marina couldn’t help but give a wry smile as she listened to Kara’s voice messages, then gently tried to comfort her.
Marina: [Seriously, it’s all just pointless drama. Just ignore it.]
Marina: [You’ve got a little one to think about now, so don’t let this stuff get under your skin.]
Kara shot back a reply almost instantly,
Kara: [Only you could put up with this. If it were me, I would’ve crashed that press conference and called her out right there.]
Kara: [She stole someone else’s hard work and is out here bragging like she owns the place. Seriously, that’s next-level shameless.]
Marina replied: [Well, now you have.]
Kara was so mad she was practically grinding her teeth.
Marina did her best to soothe her and quickly changed the subject.
After the call ended, Marina was about to set her phone aside when her screen buzzed with a new notification.
It was an exclusive interview with Zara.

Marina turned off her screen and set her phone aside. She didn’t even need to look to know exactly what kind of comments would be blowing up under that post.
Martin was clearly paving the way for Zara, and in just one week, she was blowing up online like a top celeb.
There were even girls as young as fifteen or sixteen out there stanning Zara as their idol.
Meanwhile, Marina’s DMs were blowing up with private messages.
Most of them were just people hating on her.
[Heard you’re Mr. Zamora’s wife? Are you just clout-chasing or what? Why hasn’t he ever said anything about you?]
Wow you’ve got no shame. Thirsting after Mr. Zamora like that. Are you really that desperate?]
[Zara and Mr. Zamora forever! Bad women like you need to stay far away!]
[Someone like you isn’t even Mr. Zamora’s type. Just give it up already!]
Don’t confuse Mr. Zamora’s pity for love. You don’t deserve him.]
Marina’s brows furrowed at the sudden flood of hate in her inbox.
Most of the people sending these messages seemed pretty young. Even if she reported them, it wouldn’t really do much.
just as Marina was about to log off her social media, a short video popped up on her feed.
It was yet another video from Zara.
Ever since the press conference, Zara set up her own personal account and started posting daily inspirational advice, which nded up attracting a whole crowd of teenage fangirls.
Today, she dropped an update called “Bravery.”
It all started when someone slid into her DMs asking about a secret crush.
The girl wanted to know if she should confess to the classmate she’d been crushing on for three years, even though finals were just around the corner.
She was worried that coming clean might throw her off her game at school, but if she kept quiet, they’d probably go their separate ways once graduation hit.
Zara specifically picked this topic and made a short video about it.
She didn’t beat around the bush. She straight up told all the girls to be brave and confess their feelings
She said, “You only get one chance at being young. If you don’t take a risk now, you’ll spend years wishing you had.”
She even admitted, from her own experience, that she regrets not being brave enough back then.
Because she missed her chance, she really hopes other girls will be bold enough to go after what’s in their hearts.
“Being rejected was not the end of the world. But what if?”

Zara’s advice set off a confession craze all over social media.
At the same time, people started digging up the old feud between Marina and Zara, bringing all their past drama back into the spotlight.
That’s why Marina’s private messages ended up getting exposed online.
Marina watched the video calmly, then just closed the app and moved on.
Zamora Group.
Zara sat in her office, staring at her phone for ages.
Vher she saw a bunch of her fans in the group chat sharing screenshots of the nasty DMs they’d sent to Marina, she ouldn’t help but smirk.
back then, she’d racked her brain trying to figure out how to put Marina in her place, but nothing ever seemed to work. Now, she didn’t even have to do anything-people were jumping in to fight her battles for her, all on their own.
Lara read through all the messages, not bothering to reply to a single one.
s long as she stayed out of it, whatever they did was on them.
Besides, these were just a bunch of clueless kids. If Marina or Daron ever tried to make a fuss, she could just play innocent nd keep herself out of trouble.
et them take the fall. She’d stay squeaky clean, no matter what.
fter leaving the group chat, Zara opened up her own video and checked out the comments below.
he couldn’t help but smile to herself, her eyes brimming with satisfaction.
Lately, a bunch of her old high school classmates had reached out to congratulate her.
Iven those high-and-mighty heiresses who used to look down on her were now flooding her inbox with all these phony, >retend-to-be-friendly messages.
But she didn’t bother replying to any of them.
She opened her chat list, glanced at her starred contacts, and spotted Daron’s name.
She tapped on his chat.
Their last conversation had been ages ago.
Back then, Daron still hadn’t found out that Hayley had been selling off their family heirlooms.
Zara kept scrolling up, her eyes lingering on every message.
All these years, she just couldn’t bring herself to delete any message with Daron.
These days, she was basically the most talked-about manager online.
But not a single colleague from Zamora Group or Cloudstorm had messaged her.

Not even any hate or shade.
Zara lingered for ages before finally typing out a message to Daron.
Zara: [Hey Daron, I heard your research project’s been on hold lately because of some data issues. Want me to help out?]
After sending the message, Zara kept her eyes glued to her phone, quietly hoping Daron would text her back.
But after waiting for ages, there was still no reply.
Even after she left the office for the day, Daron still hadn’t messaged her back.
Zara gritted her teeth, and in a burst of irritation, just went ahead and deleted her chat thread with Daron.
But as soon as she did it, regret hit her hard. She started panicking and desperately googling how to get the conversation
back.
