Nobody brought up the incident where Laney left home with her child.
It was almost as if the incident had been all but forgotten.
At the same time, another gossip was passing around the ears and lips of the group.
There were whispers of a wealthy young lady deliberately targeting Laney, causing her to almost lose the child in her womb. But that was not all. The lady in question was also said to be shamelessly aiming for the spot of Garrett’s mistress.
Everyone speculated about the identity of this vile woman.
Some had surmised that she was one of Garrett’s ex-girlfriends.
When words reached her, Kailee had gotten so scared that she locked herself at home for several days, not daring to take a step outside.
She anxiously waited for the heat to cool in the next couple of days. Only when public opinion calmed down did she go out and show her face. However, the anxiousness from the previous days had taken its toll on her, making her feel disheartened.
She had spent so much time and effort on her plan, but in the end, all of it had been for nothing.
How could she ever accept such a loss!
It was fortunate that the Gibson family had donated a large amount of new equipment to the hospital not too long ago. Thanks to that, Kailee was invited by the director of the hospital to attend an event as an honored guest. Coming here and basking in everyone’s praise brought her some joy.
She had always reveled in being the center of attention. Nothing beat the feeling of having everyone’s eyes focused on her.
At this moment, Kailee was sitting down in the seat of honor, listening contentedly as the host sang her praises and expressed gratitude for her presence.
The host was showering her with compliments, trying his best to thank her for donating new equipment. He extolled her beauty and her generosity, which made an outstanding contribution to the patients.
“Now, we would like to invite the beautiful and benevolent Miss Gibson to say a few words.”
The enthusiastic requested made Kailee’s lips involuntarily curl. She stood up proudly and walked to the stage to take the microphone that the host handed to her.
“Thank you for your kind words. It’s an honor to be with you here at this event.” Kailee smiled, preparing to recite the speech she had prepared the previous night.
However, the warm atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Her eyes went to the audience below and saw them whispering among one another and looking back at her with eyes full of disdain.
Kailee’s heart sank, an uneasy feeling rising inside her.
The next moment, her assistant’s expression changed, and she quickly rushed to the stage. In her haste, she had all but shoved her phone in front of Kailee’s face.
Upon seeing the trends on social media platforms, Kailee’s expression soured.
“Shocking! Gibson family’s hospital was discovered to be administering unlicensed essential oils, resulting in premature births among pregnant women!”
“Gibson family heiress, Kailee, entangled in extramarital affairs and schemes against an innocent woman, causing premature labor and severe hemorrhage.” These two scandalous stories about her and the Gibson family spread like wildfire online, igniting heated discussions among users.
Both news articles were supported by incontrovertible evidence, leaving no room for rebuttals.
In the first story, the former hospital director, whom Kailee had exiled to the countryside, personally released a video revealing the truth. He claimed that the Gibson-controlled hospital had used a batch of faulty essential oils, harming pregnant women and causing premature births.
At the end of the video, he presented the purchase invoices for the essential oils as irrefutable proof, confirming the incident’s occurrence.
The evidence in the second story was even more sensational, as it included not only Lola’s testimony but also photos and chat logs chronicling Kailee’s entire scheme against Garrett. The news report concluded with a salacious photo of Kailee that left the online community aghast.
The seemingly elegant and decent Miss Gibson, from a prominent family, had a depraved and sinister side. Her malicious and ruthless tactics were chilling.
“She may be beautiful, but her soul is twisted.”
“Despite being a fine young lady, she chose to be a home wrecker and conspire against a lawful wife, even endangering an unborn child. She’s truly malicious.”
“I’ve heard she’s in charge of the hospital, so she must be implicated in the essential oil incident.”
“How dare she flaunt herself in public? Call the police and have her arrested!”
Mockery and vitriol from the crowd seemed to take flight, piercing bailee’s ears relentlessly.
Her blood felt as if it had frozen, ceasing to flow.
Dumbstruck, she stood on stage, her body turning cold, her limbs numb. Kailee had never anticipated that her sordid secrets would be exposed during a public event, leaving her no time to react.
If these stories spread, she would become a laughingstock in Barnes and perhaps the entire nation, forever scorned and despised.
The Gibson family might even lose faith in her and cast her aside.
That was her greatest fear.
The journalists at the event caught wind of the trends. Disregarding the mundane hospital event, they swarmed bailee with microphones, barraging her with questions.
“Miss Gibson, is it true that the Gibson family’s hospital purchased subpar essential oils for pregnant women?”
“Did you really engage in affairs and even poison Garrett Harding’s wife?”
“Did you orchestrate the procurement of subpar essential oils for the hospital?”
Kailee was at a loss for words.
Under the journalists’ relentless interrogation, her face drained of color, and she trembled uncontrollably.
It was over…
Everything was over… Kailee thought, despair consuming her.
Sensing that the situation was spiraling out of control, the assistant hastily called for security guards, attempting to disperse the journalists and onlookers while escorting Kailee away.
However, due to the explosive nature of the news, the journalists were eager to obtain first-hand information and were unwilling to release Kailee. They nearly forced the microphone into her mouth, demanding she reveal the truth.
