Chapter 273 Aaron's expression hardened. He looked up at Serena and said, "You've really got Cynthia all wrong. You're holding onto these old grudges, but if you could just let them go, maybe you two could actually be friends." Serena nearly gagged at the thought.

She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and scoffed, "Sure, she's a treasure to you, but to me, she's like a bitter cup of coffee-" "Serena, don't you think you're going too far?" Aaron's voice was sharp, his eyes steely as he frowned at her. Serena just shrugged, a careless smile on her lips. "If you don't like what I have to say, then I'll just leave." "Don't move!" Aaron crossed the room in a few strides and grabbed her by the arm. "Look, the PR mess was the team's fault. I've already dealt with them. But you wrongly accused Cynthia, and you owe her an apology." Serena stared down at Aaron's hand, the veins standing out across his knuckles. She let out a cold laugh. "You're certainly fair when it comes to handing out punishments, Mr. Vance. If that's the case, why isn't Miss Lynwood in jail for all those people she supposedly killed?" Tears welled up in Cynthia Lynwood's eyes, streaming down her cheeks. "Serena, I know you don't like me, but how can you accuseof something so awful? I didn't kill anyone!" Aaron glanced at Cynthia, watching her sob, and his frown deepened. "Serena, I told you before-Cynthia didn't have anything to do with those deaths." In the past, Serena would have scoffed, convinced Aaron was just protecting Cynthia. But the way Cynthia looked just now... she really didn't seem like a killer.

Serena raised an eyebrow, pushing, "If she didn't do it, why are you shielding the real culprit? Or is it you?" "That's enough, Serena!" Aaron snapped, the impatience clear in his voice. "All you need to know is, neither Cynthia nor I killed those people. That's it." He didn't sound nervous-just tired of her accusations.

Serena's striking eyes darted between the two of them.

After a beat, her lips curled in a mocking smile. "Oh, really? If it's not you, why not just say who it is?" Aaron hesitated, pressing his fingers to his brow as if fighting off a headache. "You can go now." Without another word, Serena turned and walked out.

But inside, she felt like she was bound tight by invisible threads-each one tugging until she could barely breathe. Even late that night, her mind kept circling back to it all. She was so distracted, she didn't even notice what was happening online.

It was only when Gabrielle called that she found out-she was trending again. And not in a good way.

"Serena, you need to clear this up-fast! I've been trying to explain to people that you must have had a reason for what you did, but no one believes me. They're all saying¶m just defending you because you payor something. It's infuriating!" Serena unlocked her phone.

A video of her slapping Rosa was everywhere, spreading like wildfire.

Every comment was another accusation-people saying she was bullying a regular contestant just because of her relationship with William.

They were even demanding that the show disqualify her from the competition. She tapped on the video.
