“Twelve thousand shares?” Amalia tapped her nails against the table. “That’s a little low, right?” She glanced at Monica, who was lying on the hospital bed, her expression unreadable. “I heard… I heard there are people online that we can pay to spread this thing. I think we should do that. Maybe we can pay them to share the video?”
Monica shifted slightly, adjusting the blanket over her lap. “Just deal with it,” she muttered.
Amalia pursed her lips but said nothing. Instead, she grabbed her phone, her fingers moving quickly across the screen. She scrolled through the comments, her eyes lighting up as she read aloud.
“Izzy Rossi should be locked up.“” She let out a small laugh. “She’s an entitled brat who ruins lives. Oh, here’s another good one–Justice for Monica! We won’t let this go!“”
She giggled, tilting the phone toward Monica, but Monica barely looked at it.
Amalia continued scrolling, grinning as she read more. “People hate her, Monica. It’s only a matter of time before she comes crawling to us.” She glanced up. “She has to, right? I mean, how much longer can she take this? If we push harder, she’ll have no choice but to settle.”
She leaned back, tapping her chin. “I bet she’s already thinking about it. She’ll come in, apologize, and offer a nice little payout to make this all go away.”
Monica shifted again, adjusting the pillow behind her back. “Just don’t mess it up.” Mrs. Weiss had already promised her hefty compensation just for doing that livestream the other night. She knew that no matter what, she would get out of this mess with a huge amount of money in hand. Her future had been secured. Sadly, she couldn’t really say that she was happy.
She didn’t know what was going on, but a part of her felt empty. She felt that something was missing inside her, and no matter how much she tried to tell herself that she’d be fine, that empty part of her wouldn’t disappear.
However, her mother was different. Amalia smirked, already imagining the money. Izzy had power, sure. But even powerful people had limits. If this dragged on long enough, Izzy would crack. And when she did, Amalia would be right there, ready to take full advantage of it.
“Well-“Amalia was about to speak when Samantha walked inside.
“Monica…” she said. When she heard that Monica had a miscarriage, she naturally came bearing gifts. She had just gotten back from her vacation and immediately rushed to see her friend. “Hi… when I heard that you were in the hospital, I canceled the rest of my plans to come. How are you feeling?”
Obviously, these were nothing but lies. In fact, Samantha’s trip had ended, and since she couldn’t find another sponsor, she was forced to come back home.
“Sam…” Monica perked up. Both of her friends were currently out of the States. Arianna was in Asia, while Samantha had been in Europe. She never thought Sam would actually come back just to see her. Just thinking about it made her emotional.
“Ai… what are you crying for?” Samantha smiled as she handed the paper bags she brought to Amalia. “I’m here now. I’m here to support you after what Izzy did. I mean… I saw your livestream while I was about to board on my way back, so I wasn’t able to call you, but I couldn’t believe that Izzy would do something so terrible.”
Amalia’s eyes lit up as she turned to Samantha. “The shares aren’t enough,” she said, leaning forward. “Everyone should know about Izzy and what she did. She should be imprisoned for this.”
She watched Samantha closely, already calculating how to use her. Unlike Monica, Samantha had a real online presence. Her follower count wasn’t just for show–people actually listened to her. If she joined in, this could spread everywhere.

Samantha placed a comforting hand on Monica’s arm, glancing between her and Amalia, “Of course, we need to make sure people really hear the truth,” she said. “I mean, people already hate Izzy, but if we push it harder…” She trailed off, her lips curling slightly.
Monica sniffled, her shoulders trembling. Seeing this, Samantha pulled her into a hug. “Don’t worry,” she murmured. “I’ll help you.”
Without hesitation, Samantha reached for her phone. Her fingers moved swiftly as she opened her livestream.
Unlike Monica’s, which took time to gain traction, Samantha’s viewership exploded within minutes. Notifications flooded in as comments poured down the screen.
“Guys, this is serious,” Samantha said, angling the camera toward Monica, who kept her face buried in her hands. “I just got back from my trip, and the first thing I hear is that this happened.” She let out a sharp breath and shook her head. “I can’t believe it, I knew Izzy was bad, but this? First, she got Monica fired from her job out of jealousy. She took everything from Monica, and now this? How could someone be so cruel?”
Amalia nudged closer to the camera. “She needs to be held accountable,” she added. “People need to see this. Isabela Rossi should not be walking free after what she did!”
The comment section was already exploding.
“What the hell? That’s evil!”
“Izzy Rossi needs to be locked up.”
“She thinks she can get away with this because she’s rich.”
“Justice for Monica!”
Samantha smirked as the numbers climbed. This was exactly what she needed. She wasn’t doing this just for Monica–she was doing it for herself too. The more people watched, the more engagement she got,
And if Izzy did decide to pay them off to shut up? Even better!
“In fact, even Mrs. Weiss is already planning to file a case against Miss Rossi,” Samantha said, shifting the camera slightly to focus more on Monica. “The entire Weiss family knows what kind of person she is. Do you really think they’d just sit back and let this go?”
Right. The best thing she could do now was put pressure on the Weiss family.
Amalia’s eyes gleamed as she leaned closer. “And yet, Weiss Inc. still employs her,” she added. “Can you believe that? A company that supports people like Miss Rossi?”
Samantha nodded, keeping her attention on the screen. “That’s exactly what I was about to say. Weiss Inc. still has her on their payroll. Do they have no shame? Keeping someone like her around after everything she’s done?”
The comments came in even faster.
“Boycott Weiss Inc.!”
“How can they keep someone like that?”
“If they don’t fire her, they’re complicit.”
“We need to make sure she’s banned from the industry.”

Samantha smirked, reading the reactions in real–time. This was too easy. She turned back to Monica, reaching out to squeeze her hand. “Don’t worry, babe. We’ll make sure everyone hears the truth. And if Weiss Inc. doesn’t want to do the right thing, then we’ll make them.”
Amalia clapped her hands together. “That’s right! We need to push harder. She can’t keep getting away with this.”
Monica wiped her tears and nodded. Samantha watched as her followers continued to spam the comments, fueling the fire. This wasn’t just about revenge anymore. This was about power.
And right now, they have control over the narrative.
