Chapter 1993

Heaven must have a pair of watchful eyes!

Carmella's heart was doing somersaults with excitement. She clutched at her chest, trying to calm the

wild rhythm, and slowly turned to head back into her room.

The next day, a proclamation from the Macclain family hit the headlines.

In the statement, Bennett and Simone came clean about their past, confirming that they had indeed

supported KING; not only had they moved her from C City to J City, but also had taken her on as their

goddaughter. However, they disclosed that their relationship had not been close, and at present, there

was no communication between them.

A few short sentences amounted to an admission of what had been said in the post: Estelle was a

turncoat, an ingrate, the proverbial wolf in sheep's clothing!

With hundreds of thousands of shares, the Macclain family’s announcement sparked a wildfire of

boycotts against KING on the internet.

KING had been the target of online vitriol more than once, but in the past, her fans had come to her

defense and endeavored to manage the narrative. This time, however, KING’s fans were completely

drowned out by the fury of the netizens.

Photos of KING attending the Sampson family wedding and serving as a bridesmaid were plastered all

over the web.

The internet was awash with sarcastic jibes:novelbin

[I always wondered why KING set her sights so high; it seemed even the Macclains weren’t good

enough for her. Turns out she was clinging to the Sampson family tree!]

[So that’s how she became an international designer at such a young age, by despising the poor and

currying favour with the rich, and cozying up to the big shots]

[Designer? She’s a disgrace to the profession!]

[Blacklist her! Kick her out of the country! Since she loves fawning over foreign designers so much,

then let her be gone!”]

Being said to lack in national pride and professional ethics, and to have betrayed her own benefactors,

KING had fallen from grace into the dust.

Early in the morning, when Harriet saw the news, her face registered disbelief.

With Estelle already on the receiving end of a tirade from netizens due to the fashion show, how come

the Macclains decided to wade into the fray?

And the Macclains issued such a misleading statement, which was beyond Harriet's belief!

The situation had escalated far beyond her expectations, so she drove straight to the Macclain

residence.

A servant led her in, and as soon as she entered, she saw Carmella cradling a cat in the living room.

"Ms. Harriet?" Carmella stood up, looking somewhat surprised.

Harriet’s voice was cool, "Ms. Macclain, I would like to speak with Mr. and Mrs. Macclain, if that would

be convenient?"

Carmella’s gaze shifted, "Is this about KING?"

Harriet scoffed, "I trust in KING's character. I won’t be swayed by hearsay, nor will I kick someone when

they're down." Content belongs to Draмanоvеls.com

Carmella shrugged with a smug air, "I’m just looking out for you, Ms. Harriet. If you won’t listen, that’s

your call!"

Harriet was cool and collected, "No need for formalities, I’m here for KING!"
