    “Wait… Yasmin? You’re dating Connor too?”


    “So what’s going on here–was he dating both of you?”


    5.33%A


    Excitement buzzed through the crowd. Two women, fighting over one man–this scandal just got juicier.


    “Connor’s been chasing me for months,” Yasmin stated confidently. “We’ve been dating for a while. As of now, we’re still very much together.”


    She wasn’t about to let Zora paint her as the other woman. No way.


    With Yasmin’s bold admission, the reporters turned back to Zora.


    “So Miss Harris, are you saying you knowingly interfered in Connor and Yasmin’s rtionship?”


    “Why would you agree to be the third party?”


    “Don’t you think it’s hical toe between a couple?”


    Zora couldn’t answer. Embarrassed and enraged, she turned and fled into the XEG building, her bodyguards holding the reporters at bay.


    Once in her office, she mmed the door behind her and immediately dialed Caitlin’s number.


    It rang once before connecting.


    “Hello?”


    “Caitlin! You bitch!” Zora seethed, her voiceced with venom.


    Caitlin was still at TIG, just finishing a meeting. She sounded calm, almost bored.


    “Miss Harris? What now?”


    “You know damn well what! You leaked those disgusting scandals about me! You’re trying to ruin mepletely. Don’t think I can’t see what you’re doing—you’re ruthless!<b>” </b>


    Caitlin sighed, already guessing why Zora was throwing a tantrum. Her tone was cool as ice.


    “Miss Harris, you’re overreacting. If you used your brain for once and checked the security footage from Lisson Gallery, you’d know exactly what happened–rather than barking like a mad dog, flinging usations.”


    Zora’s rage spiked. “Did you justpare me to a dog?!”


    “Did I lie?” Caitlin replied bluntly. “If you thought before acting, maybe you wouldn’t be in this mess. Anyway, I have work to do.”


    She hung up.


    Zora screamed and hurled her phone across the office, fuming.


    No matter how she looked at it, she was convinced Caitlin had orchestrated this. Who else hated her this much?


    As for checking the gallery security footage? That was clearly a distraction tactic. She wasn’t falling for it

    Meanwhile, outside the XEG building the media turned their attention to Yasmin


    33%A


    Yasmin didn’t waste the opportunity. She pulled out her phone and showed them a series of photos–her and Connor together, confirming their romantic rtionship.


    The evidence spoke for itself. The narrative quickly shifted.


    Zora had indeede between Yasmin and Connor.


    The interviews were quickly published online. The moment they dropped, it was as if another bucket of filth had been dumped all over Zora’s already tarnished reputation.


    The once–unreachable heiress had now be a public disgrace. Netizens didn’t hold back.


    Especially in the fashion world–no one was going to support a designer known for wrecking sameone else’s rtionship.


    Calls to boycott Zora’s brand spread like wildfire.


    XEG stores took a massive hit. Thepany’s stock price nosedived. The scandal was catastrophic.


    Ximena tried everything to put out the fires. Just as she’d managed to suppress the previous rumors, now this one exploded. She was running out of options.


    Out of desperation, she decided to seek help from Caitlin.


    At the TIG headquarters, Caitlin weed Ximena into the executive office and offered her a seat.


    Ximena opened with an apology. “Caitlin, I’m so sorry. My daughter’s reckless behavici has caused you so much trouble.”


    “You don’t need to apologize for your daughter, Ximena. Honestly, what happened didn’t affect me much. Please don’t me yourself.”


    “Thank you for being gracious,” Ximena sighed, her expression weary. “I’m out of options. If things keep going like this, I’ll lose everything. I don’t know what to do.”


    Caitlin could see how distressed she was. The stress was clearly taking a toll on her.


    If it weren’t for Ximena’s past kindness to Patricia, Caitlin wouldn’t even be entertaining this conversation.


    “This mess was caused by your daughter,” Caitlin said frankly. “She should be the one facing the public and making amends.


    “Suppressing the news won’t work forever. What she needs to do is hold a press conference–publicly apologize and rify everything. Pair that with some charity work to shift public attention.”


    Ximena absorbed the advice carefully. “You’re right. I’ll convince her to do it.”


    As if remembering something, she asked, “By the way, has Zeke been in touch with you? What’s happening with him?”


    “He might arrive in the US tomorrow or the day after,” Caitlin answered. “He’ll be bringing Pierrick. The n is to conduct the hostage exchange”


    Ximena’s expression tightened “<b>That </b>sounds dangerous… Are you really going to give them the codex?”
