Before long, the internet chatter turned in Ariana's favor, with netizens defending her.

Sadie, who had been monitoring the online sentiment closely, seethed with frustration when she witnessed the shift.

She angrily tossed her phone aside.

Damn it! How had Ariana kept getting away with this? Why was she so lucky?

With a scowl, Sadie gripped the bedsheets tightly. Just then, a knock sounded at the door, followed by Devin's voice from outside.
