Novel & Cerita Lyka Scandal

My stomach turned. "Tasha," my mother gasped, standing up so quickly she nearly tipped her tea. "Tasha, thank God. Tell me... tell me it’s a misunderstanding. Tell me it’s a deepfake." Tyra did not move. She remained perched on the edge of the sofa, the tablet clutched in her manicured hands like a weapon. "Misunderstanding?" Tyra’s laugh was cold. "The footage is quite clear, Lily. Your daughter has been seen in compromising positions with her lover, and the fallout is staining my son’s reputation."

If I had chosen not to make a fuss, or worried too much about preserving the relationship, I probably would not have pursued the matter further. And she would have walked away with the money without a shred of guilt. The thought made me stop hesitating. I picked up my phone and called the legal department at my father's company. From Felicia's confession alone, it was obvious that Sensilk Beauty Salon was a complete mess internally. Without lawyers stepping in, the compensation negotiations could drag on forever. About an hour later, someone knocked on my door. It was Rita. Standing behind her was Janyce Ingram, the floor manager from Sensilk Beauty Salon.

It details how a series of burner accounts used to spread the fake blindness narrative were traced back to an IP address linked to Lydia’s personal residence. But it doesn't stop there. The internet is a dark, beautiful place when it turns on a villain. Speculation is already reaching a fever pitch, with people connecting the dots between Lydia’s thirst for my lead role and her very public friendship with Georgia Newton. The narrative has shifted from "Sydney is a fraud" to "Georgia and Lydia are trying to distract us from their own scandalous behavior." I let out a breath that sounds like a sob of pure relief. My hands are shaking, but this time it’s from adrenaline and joy. I’m ecstatic. I

*** "What? All the commercial deals are cancelled and I have to pay compensation? What's the reason?" Anastasia asked in shock. Lyra sighed heavily. "I don't know the exact reason either. They said you broke the rules and got involved in a big scandal." "A scandal? What? You know as well as I do that I've never been involved in anything like that in my entire career!" Lyra remained silent, biting her lip. It was hard for her to reveal the nature of the scandal that had derailed Anastasia's career.

Aside from his relationship with Lydia, which everyone now knew about, Drake had pretty much been an open book. The lowest paid of the employees, a male named Issac, who worked as a recorder, slid his phone out of his pocket, slyly turning on the video recorder, before positioning his phone in his hand, where the camera could see Dianne, Drake, and Lydia, but no one could see the phone. He knew if whatever argument they were having continued, that the media would pay big for the story. The Whittenberg Scandal, as Drake and Lydia’s relationship was being called, was a major hit with the society pages lately.

Skylar felt a twinge of guilt at his words. Back when the gossip first surfaced, she and Lydia had plotted to use the scandal to push Madeline out. So much had been going on behind the scenes. It was no wonder Trevon's demeanor took a sharp turn after that. "If Cilix got caught in a mess like that, the shareholders would be just as unforgiving." Hoyt saw that Skylar was hooked and continued, "You can't let Cilix figure out that you're onto him about his secret kid. You need to dig up proof of his affair and the kid first.

On my side. The words felt strange. Layla, who'd betrayed me more thoroughly than almost anyone, was now on my side. Fighting the same people. Facing the same threats. Liam appeared in my doorway. "Saw the news. You okay?" "Ethan's trying to make it look like I coached Layla. There's an emergency hearing this afternoon." "What really happened?" "She came to tell me she was scared. That Victoria's threatening her. That she's still going to testify." I rubbed my face. "Five minutes. That's all it was. But now it's a scandal."

Lydia tried to sound a little calm as people were still walking around on the fifth floor when she got off the elevator. "This woman is deliberately slandering to keep her behavior in selling the company's data from being discovered." Lydia replied tiredly, repeating herself three times already. "Is it really like that?" asked Liani, still worried. "Yes, Mom. She's a seducer. You'll understand as soon as you see him. I shared her I*******m account, right?" Liani then went on about how sexy Thalita was. She had seen the I*******m account and realized that there were men flirting with her or vice versa. And so on.

Yaslyn stated, shifting her focus back to the unfolding social media drama. The group checked their phones and observed that the stories about Marcus and Zyra had slowly faded away on Instagram, overshadowed by other trending topics. Linton Group had evidently quashed the scandal by diverting public attention to other matters. Irony of ironies, Yollanda, the star of last night's affair, was the main focus of the new trending post. "Looks like this ordeal is finally over," Yaslyn declared with satisfaction. "If Yerick tries to stir the pot again, he'll only be drawing fire onto himself. I doubt he'll make another move."

"I also want to be your mother!" She and Kimberly used to get along so well that Kimberly even played with Deborah and considered her her little sister. But that was before she knew that Liana had been having an affair with her father and Deborah was the daughter of their affair. Everything was different after the truth came out and that's when her mom left for good. Kimberly wanted to continue ignoring Liana, but her last sentence made Kimberly furious. She turned and walked arrogantly towards Liana. "A mother? You want to be my mother?" Kimberly gave Liana a mocking smile to belittle her. "Don't even think about it! Trash will always be trash, and don't ever expect me to pick it up."
