Even hashtags concerning Sabrina and Tyrone had been scrubbed clean.

Despite the whispers, the controversy failed to reclaim the headlines.

This straightforward strategy was the most effective.

By stunting the spread of the controversy, time would handle the rest.

Soon enough, the matter would be forgotten, and Sabrina's life could regain its tranquility.

However, the online gossips weren't ready to drop the subject just yet.

At eight in the morning, a blogger shared a screenshot with the caption: "Money flexing its power."

The image was a snapshot of a direct message. "Hi, I'm Tyrone Blakely's secretary. Your actions have infringed upon his privacy. We need to discuss the deletion of your post."

Once the screenshot went public, the haters renewed their attacks on Sabrina.

But since the hashtags had been erased, the post was only visible to a limited audience and couldn't gain significant traction online.

Nevertheless, Sabrina stumbled upon it.

Sabrina heard the news from Bradley.

Sabrina was midway through her meal when a message from Bradley popped up on her phone screen. “Ignore the news on the internet. They're people with nothing better to do than lash out at strangers. These rumors will lose their steam soon enough."

Like most celebrities, Bradley also had a private account, one he often used to keep tabs on Sabrina.

Disturbed by the offensive comments about her, he took it upon himself to defend her, using his anonymous profile.

However, his defense only earned him ridicule. "Oh Look, the knight in shining armor."

Confused, Sabrina asked, "What are you talking about?"

Bradley was typing a response, but nothing came through.

Regret filled Bradley's thoughts.

It dawned on him that Sabrina was oblivious to the online uproar.
