Sienna, a rising star, had long been the subject of envy for her relationship with Ethan, and now, with the news out, Elena was immediately thrust into the spotlight, her name trending on social media for all the wrong reasons. The insults were too vile to bear.
“Disgusting, how could she develop those feelings for someone who raised her? Ethan could practically be her uncle!”
“How dare she? She’s nothing but a wolf in sheep’s clothing! Knowing full well that Ethan is engaged, she still clings to him shamelessly!”
“Our Sienny has been through so much, hasn’t she? She got hurt just trying to save Elena, and now this—Elena is after Sienny’s fiancé.”
“She must be the third party, right? I heard she even lives in Ethan’s house, while Sienny hasn’t even been allowed to stay there.”
The malicious comments flooded in online, and Elena was caught off guard. The person who had managed to capture that video was one of the few who had the chance.
Unable to reach Ethan, Elena hurriedly ran to his office to find him.
On the way, Sienna posted an update on her social media.
Sienna posted a video, her face tired and drawn, the scar on her cheek clearly visible.
Calmly addressing the viral scandal, she said, "Everyone, I apologize for taking up public space, but I’d like to make a statement. Ethan and I have a very strong and healthy relationship, and there’s no third party involved."
"Elena is young and doesn’t fully understand things, and perhaps some of her actions have been misunderstood. But both Ethan and I will guide her to avoid making mistakes, and we hope everyone can be understanding toward her."
"Additionally, I have some good news to share. Ethan and I will be getting married on the 8th of next month. I hope everyone will bless us."
The 8th of next month, just half a month away.
The video quickly racked up over ten million views, with the comments sharply divided. On one side, there were well-wishes for Sienna, and on the other, the most venomous insults aimed at Elena.
People praised Sienna for her grace, while viciously condemning Elena as disgusting, saying she should have died long ago.
Elena’s name was trending, but Sienna’s efforts only seemed to fuel more hatred.
Numb, Elena turned off the comments and called Ethan again.
His phone wouldn’t connect.
