Delilah, in contrast, was stunned to see Claudia's respond trending at number one on the hot search list.

This couldn't be right!

How did Claudia have that recording?

On hearing the recording, Naya and Lydia couldn't muster the courage to defend Delilah any longer. To do so would invite the wrath of the online community.

As Claudia had predicted, Delilah no longer dared to create a ruckus online.

It remained the hottest topic on Twitter for three solid hours, only dipping when other trends emerged.

Everyone online was now privy to Delilah's true nature. Anthony, just done with a meeting, thought the storm had passed, but was taken aback when Kase shared the recording with him.

Listening to it, Anthony remained emotionless. “Do you believe Delilah was threatening Cece in the recording?"

"You don't think so, sir?" Kase responded, puzzled.

Once Claudia had been discharged from the hospital, Delilah had called her late in the night, spitefully bringing up her anniversary with Anthony. Her malicious intent was crystal clear

Anthony's face hardened. He silently retreated to his office, leaving a startled Kase behind.

Inside his office, Anthony scrolled through the Twitter reactions.

He was dumbfounded by the revelations, but he couldn't deny the evidence in front of him. He finally started to believe Delilah might not be as sweet and innocent as he thought.

He Logged out of Twitter and aimlessly stared at his wooden desk. After some time, he rang up Kase.

Shortly, Kase appeared at the door.

"sir, how may I assist you?"

“Well "

Anthony drew out a pack of cigarettes, took one, and lit it.

The nicotine scent permeated his senses. He glanced at Kase and asked, "Kase, do you think I should cut ties with Delilah?"

Kase was momentarily taken aback, carefully choosing his words when Anthony cut him off coldly, "Just tell it Like it is!"

Kase froze. "You shouldn't have been involved with Miss Lopes, unless you plan not to marry Miss Marshall."

Kase made his point crystal clear. Anthony's previous actions were essentially equivalent to simultaneously dating two women.
