Chapter 82
Skylar stowed her suitcase in the trunk and got into the car.
Victor gave Skylar a quick once–over. Seeing nothing amiss, he finally asked, “Skylar, what on earth happened?”
Skylar quickly filled Victor in on what had just happened.
Victor’s eyes turned icy cold. “They claim to love me but hurt those
out. They‘
‘re absolutely unforgivable.”
“I’m not going to let this go easily,” he said, pulling out his phone, ready to text Blake and demand he send over the top lawyers immediately.
As soon as Victor unlocked his phone, a string of missed calls from his agent flashed across the screen. Only then did he realize his agent had been trying to reach him multiple times.
Just as he was about to call back, another call came in.
“Qamar,” Victor asked, “why are you blowing up my phone like this?”
Qamar shrieked excitedly, “Thank god, I finally got through to you. Do you even know you and Skylar are trending on X right now?”
Victor glanced at Skylar. “What’s going on?”
Qamar sent him a link and said, “Check it out for yourself.”
Victor tapped the link and quickly skimmed through it.
“Someone from the crew must have leaked these photos,” he said, his tone certain.
Qamar asked, “Do you know who did this?”
Victor thought for a moment. “I’ve got no leads,” he said.
“I know who it is,” Skylar whispered, motioning for Victor to hang up first.
“I’ll look into this and call you back shortly,” Victor said, hanging up before Qamar could say another word.
Skylar whispered, “It’s Elianna.”
Victor pondered for a moment. “Elianna is the only one we’ve had conflicts with recently,” he said. “That makes her a prime suspect. Let’s just call the cops and let them handle it.”
“Waiting for the cops to investigate is way too slow. By then, they might’ve already covered their tracks,” Skylar said.
As she spoke, Skylar texted Leon: [Track down the original poster of that thread.]
Leon received the message and got right to work. In no time, he had tracked it down.
Leon texted: [Ms. Stone, I’ll post it now to clear things up for you.]
Leon quickly contacted several gossip accounts known for posting leaks and gave them the material.
In no time, those gossip accounts posted the videos.
The video alleged that a certain female star previously tried and failed to hurt a male star, only to end up mired in scandal herself. Unwilling to accept defeat, she now cooked up another rumor to drag the male star down and make him the target of public scorn.
She did this to make someone else take the fall and draw all the heat away from herself.

Chapter 82
Although the video didn’t explicitly name the female star or the male star, the clues were so obvious that anyone could tell who they were talking about
It quickly went viral and topped the trends on X.
The online comments changed completely.
[I knew if I waited, the tea would spill and sure enough, here it is.]
[So, it was all fake? Caden wasn’t actually dating Skylar?]
[Thank god it’s fake. I almost lost it.]
[What the hell is wrong with Elianna? Why is she so hell–bent on coming after Caden? What did he ever do to her?]
[Elianna is so calculating. It’s downright terrifying.]
[Can she just get the hell out of showbiz? Give the industry back its inv.]
A bunch of people swarmed Elianna’s social media, filling her comments with hate and spamming her inbox with angry messages.
Elianna gritted her teeth and hissed, “How could this happen so suddenly?”
She immediately called her agent to clean up this mess.
