Chapter 63

    Haynes felt a slight shiver run down his spine. There was something different about Ste that he couldn''t focus on. Was she serious about wanting a divorce?


    But his phone buzzed before he could ponder any further. Haynes hurriedly left the room with a furrowed brow, leaving Ste behind without a second nce.


    Outside, the giant screen on the side of the building was ying a video that had everyone talking. It was the clip of Ste''s supposed "hit and run." But as it yed, the truth became crystal clear. Rachel''s car had deliberately swerved into Ste''s path.


    At first, the bystanders watching the video were confused. "What''s going on here? Is someone getting away with attempted murder?"


    "Good grief. Did you see that car? It didn''t even slow down! That must be intentional."


    "Did they mistake the elerator for the brake? But that was way too deliberate to be an ident."


    Soon, the video shifted to show Rachel sobbing, ying the victim, iming she didn''t have much time left to live andmenting about a bracelet on her wrist meant to be a family heirloom for the O''Brien family''s daughter-inw.


    Ste was disappointed with Keen, but he was just a kid. Not wanting to subject him to the harsh judgment of the inte, she avoided mentioning him. What remained was enough to make her point-Rachel bragging about how Haynes doted on her.


    The crowd was abuzz with chatter after watching the video.


    "Wow, Rachel is a real piece of work, isn''t she? She sure doesn''t look like someone getting bullied."


    "She''s got some nerve, unting her stuff right before the wife. Mrs. O''Brien must have nerves of steel to sit through that. I would''ve pped her silly!"


    "Did you hear that? She said Haynes would drop everything, even if he were with his wife, toe running when she calls. Talk about shameless!"


    Despite the overwhelming evidence, Rachel''s poprity online meant she still had plenty of defenders. Some fans even tried to twist the narrative in her favor.


    "Ste stole Rachel''s man first! It''s karmaing back around."


    "Rachel''s only got a little time left. She only wants to set things right. What''s so wrong about that?"


    "Ste, let Haynes go. You''re only losing a marriage, but Rachel''s losing her life!" But Ste didn''t back down. She released evidence showing Rachel and Haynes had broken up long before Ste entered the picture, effectively silencing Rachel''s supporters.


    In a video statement, Ste dered, "I''ve gathered all the evidence of the false rumors, maliciousments, and privacy vitions against me and handed it to mywyer for legal action."


    "And for those who physically attacked me, I will pursue criminal charges."


    By that afternoon, the police issued an official statement. After a thorough investigation, the police found Rachel should solely be responsible for the car ident, urging the public to cease the online harassment.


    Not long after the announcement, those so-called "eyewitnesses" who had been so sure of Ste''s guilt apologized, admitting they had fabricated their stories for a moment in the spotlight.
