joon, Shawna’s follower count skyrocketed to five million. Every time she went live, thousands of viewers would flood into
er stream. She was already good–looking, and with a little styling and makeup, she really stood out.
some people tuned in for the drama, while others were just there for her looks. Whenever she went live, she always got a lot of virtual gifts from her viewers
hawna closely followed Marina’s advice, always maintaining her online image. The same netizens who used to go after Marina suddenly switched sides, now aiming all their hate at Carrie.
Carrie’s live stream was flooded with angry viewers hurling insults at her. Her stream kept getting reported and banned epeatedly. Even worse, her personal info was doxxed, and her phone was constantly bombarded with hate messages.
Carrie had always been proud, and she never imagined that after playing along with Yara’s act, she’d end up becoming the nain target of all the hate. Meanwhile, Yara just kept hiding in the background, refusing to step up and help her take on
Marina.
After Carrie repeatedly begged Yara to come forward, and Yara kept shutting her down, Carrie finally realized Yara was eaving her to take all the heat.
ushed to her limit, Carrie started dropping bombshells online about Yara and Lavern. The way she told it, Lavern was just nother victim in all this. She said Yara was the one who ruined her and Shawna.
Carrie had given up fighting Marina. Her son messed up, and she was ready to take whatever punishment came their way. But Yara kept egging her on to act pitiful online, only to fish for sympathy.
She also claimed that at first, Lavern and Marina were actually really close. It was Yara who had a crush on Lavern and kept
hasing after him.
Back then, Yara would always use her friendship with Marina to get close to Lavern, constantly meddling in their elationship. Yara was the one who talked Lavern into moving money over to the Slav family’s businesses.
After all, Marina held most of the shares in Ross Group, while Lavern was the one putting in all the hard work. With Yara always egging him on, Lavern started thinking about doing something shady.
After her account got banned, Carrie switched to her relatives‘ accounts to keep posting videos. In those clips, she was crying her eyes out, coming across as way more genuine than she ever did during her livestreams.
For a while, netizens were all trying to dig up dirt on the other woman Carrie had mentioned. Because of all this, Shawna started trending even harder and got even more attention. Meanwhile, Yara kept hiding in the background, refusing to step
- up.
But Carrie’s attacks on her grew even fiercer. Marina was watching the drama unfold with great interest when her phone rang. It was Henry.
Her slender fingers hovered over the reject button. But in the end, she swiped to answer and put the phone to her ear.
“Hello?”
Unlike last time, Henry didn’t stay quiet. After Marina greeted him, he hesitated before finally speaking up. “Marina, are you alright? I was away on a business trip these past few days and only just caught up with everything online.”
Marina narrowed her eyes slightly. She and Henry weren’t exactly close, so she had to wonder what he was really after, reaching out to her like this. “It’s fine. This whole thing hasn’t really affected me much.”
Henry was silent for a few seconds, then let out a long sigh. “Marina, you know Winnie, right?”

Henry took a deep breath, about to say something else, but Marina cut him off, her voice cool and indifferent “Henry, if there’s nothing else, I’m gonna hang up, I’ve known about Yara and Winnie for a while now, but I appreciate the warning”
With that, Marina hung up on Henry without another word. Henry stared at his phone, frozen for a moment after Marina hung up so abruptly,
He got the message loud and clear from her last words. She was letting him know she’d been aware of all this from the start. and none of it mattered to her
Since it didn’t help her, she owed him nothing. She only thanked him to be polite. And that “thank you‘ was perfunctory at best, barely even polite.

She was hard to deal with even as a clueless teenager, and with all the experience Marina’s racked up over the years, she’d only become even harder to win over
