Logan seemed to sense what Fletcher was thinking and narrowed his eyes. "If you trust me, just wait patiently."
"Can | even afford to wait? You don't know how bad things are right now!" Fletcher gritted his teeth and snapped
in frustration.
"Dorian's target isn't you. He's just using you to force Lila into a corner. The situation right now doesn't harm
you."
Fletcher clenched his fists tightly, battling with his inner turmoil. "I don't want to hurt Lila. | can tell she
genuinely wants to help me. Maybe she really has a way out?"
"Fletcher, stay calm. | want to trust Lila, too, but how much real sincerity can you expect from people in the
entertainment industry?"
Logan remained much calmer than him. "Listen to me. Let the public opinion continue to ferment. In the end,
you can present yourself as the victim. Tell Lila that you didn't do any of this and that you even tried to clarify
things. It's just the fans who don't believe it. Remember, you're also a victim."
Fletcher furrowed his brows, remaining silent though his hesitation was evident.
"Trust me. You're my responsibility. Do you think I would harm you? Or do you want to continue living like this for
another six months?" Logan pushed, adding more fuel to the fire. "Fletcher, this is a rare opportunity. You can't

Fletcher sat down silently in defeat, yet it was clear he reluctantly accepted Logan's advice. His fists remained
clenched, trying to convince himself that he would eventually help Lila. He owed her for giving him a chance.
The news online was causing a huge stir, and even Nicole, who didn't usually follow entertainment news, had
heard the rumors. She checked online and found a flood of insulting comments directed at Lila.
She frustratedly slammed the table, startling Noah, who had been engrossed in his game.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? All you do is play, play, play. Lila is your sister, and you don't care about her at all!"
"What happened to Lila?" he asked, confused.
Wasn't Lila doing fine now? She had broken up with that scumbag and started her career as a director,
something she loved.
Nicole, who was already furious, rubbed her temples. She had no tto explain to him. Quickly, she contacted
Cole and asked about Kieran's whereabouts.
Once she learned that he was at the office, she didn't bother changing clothes. Her face was cold as she headed
out,
"Mom, what's going on?" Noah

"If there's something,

Where are you going? I'll take you."
"This is something you can't handle. I'll deal with you later."
She left with those words and headed straight to Morgan Group. All those rumors were laughable.
The Morgan family didn't need to depend on anyone else. Who were Dorian and Fletcher, anyway?
As her thoughts continued, something suddenly made her stop. Dorian... wasn't he Lila's boyfriend?
Nicole froze, suddenly realizing. She quickly checked her phone again, confirming that the people mentioned
online were indeed those two.
Her hand began to tremble, and she took a deep breath before searching for information about Dorian and Lila.
A blogger had compiled a detailed timeline of their relationship-from the breakup and the reasons behind it to
Dorian's live broadcast asking for reconciliation and Lila's refusal. Every detail was clearly laid out.

Nicole's face darkened, her fingers trembling even more. What had she been
doing all this tas Lila's so-called adopted mother?
Lila went through a breakup without
her knowing, and now she's being bullied out there with no support or backing from her. How could she face the
Hart family after all this? How could she have the courage to meet them in the afterlife?
She steadied herself against the wall, feeling overwhelmed and almost crushed by the weight of it all.
Just then, Cole, who had cto the area on sbusiness, saw her bending over, her face pale, so he asked,
"Mrs. Morgan, what's wrong?"
Noticing the additional support, she lifted her gaze, her eyes filled with coldness. "Mrs. Morgan, you-" He was
startled again. He had no idea when he had offended her.
Just as he was about to speak, Nicole spoke first. "Is Kieran in the office?"
"Yes," Cole responded carefully, unsure of what was happening. Was she here to see Kieran?
She withdrew her arm, taking a deep breath to calm herself before nodding. "Go ahead and do your work. I'll go
up and find him myself."
