Chapter 124

Sophia's fans and neutral observers fought back against Christopher's supporters.

"Can Christopher's fans be reasonable for once? Admit your mistakes when you're wrong!"

"The official report clearly states a ten-day detention and fine. Isn't that evidence enough?"

Christopher's fans ignored the facts and attacked Sophia instead.

"Her own family hates her. That proves she's bad luck!"

"Homewrecker deserves to die!"

"How can anyone enjoy her music after seeing her throw herself at Ethan?"

Sophia's supporters fired back.

"Personal relationships and artistic work are separate matters!"

"Christopher broke the law as a public figure. Is that idol material?"

Though fewer in number, Sophia's fans fought fiercely.

Amid the heated battle, Sophia suddenly updated her social media.

A single line appeared:

"My relationship with Ethan Winston began one year after Isabella left. We've since broken up."

Her fans' morale soared instantly.

"Media lies! It was a normal relationship!"

"Clearly someone's targeting Sophia. The mastermind is obvious!"

"I used to think the Lowells were perfect. Now I see they're all problematic."

Trolls and paid accounts persisted.

"Homewrecker trying to whitewash herself?"

"Her desperate behavior proves it was premeditated!"

"When your whole family hates you, there must be something wrong!"

As arguments raged, Sophia's phone rang.

An unknown number.

She leaned back lazily and answered.

"Sophia, it's me."

Ethan's gentle voice came through.

Her expression remained blank. "What do you want?"

"Do we have to be so distant?"

Her eyes turned icy. "Mr. Winston, we were never close."

Ethan sighed. "What were those three years then?"

"A lapse in judgment."

Ethan fell silent.

"Have you forgotten everything I did for you?"

Sophia's left hand clenched briefly before relaxing.

"You were good to me, and I repaid you in kind. We're even."

Truthfully, Ethan had treated her well.

Never missed a birthday surprise.

Always brought gifts from business trips.
