Chapter 178

The scandal between Julian Lombardi and Vanessa Kalmien dominated the trending list for three straight days.

Fans transitioned from initial shock to wavering uncertainty as public opinion gradually shifted.

Entertainment blogs released crystal-clear photo and video evidence, even mapping out a detailed timeline.

Most unsettling was the eerie silence from both parties' social media accounts.

Desperate fans flooded Scarlett Ashcroft's comment section.

"Scarlett, please say something. Did Julian really betray you?"

"Was Vanessa the other woman all along?"

"Are these rumors true? I'm losing my mind!"

Scarlett's phone buzzed nonstop after work.

She opened her social media to find her inbox and comments flooded.

A quick scan revealed the full story.

Seeing Julian and Vanessa's continued silence, a cold smirk curled her lips.

Their management had clearly abandoned these disgraced stars.

With their accounts under agency control, neither dared to make a move.

Watching them drown in public outrage brought Scarlett unprecedented satisfaction.

Years of pent-up grievances finally found release.

Now it was their turn to taste nationwide scorn.

Without hesitation, she dropped a bombshell statement:

"Yes, Julian was my college sweetheart. During our cohabitation, he repeatedly brought Vanessa home for overnight stays. Though not in my bed, it was disgusting enough. As for the Derek Langley incident—that was also his setup."

The post detonated across the internet.

Comments erupted instantly.

"Oh my god! Julian is actual trash!"

"Cheating right under his girlfriend's nose? Disgusting!"

"No wonder Scarlett's career stagnated—she was being sabotaged by these snakes!"

Their diehard fans suffered the hardest blow.

Scarlett's receipts shattered their last shreds of denial.

Mass fan exodus began immediately.

"Three years of loyalty wasted on trash!"

"Officially unstanning today. This is heartbreaking!"

"Most disgusting celebrity downfall of the year!"

"Not just cheating but framing his ex? Pure evil!"

The scandal escalated into an unstoppable storm, obliterating Julian and Vanessa's careers.
