“Lillian doesn’t have much time left to live. If she wants to make up for her regrets, what’s wrong with that?”
“The one who isn’t loved is the real homewrecker!”
“Vivienne, just give Edmund to Lillian. All you’re losing is a marriage, but what Lillian is losing is her life!”
Later, Vivienne even presented evidence proving that Lillian and Edmund had already broken up long before she and Edmund got together, completely humiliating Lillian’s fans.
Vivienne personally recorded a video. “Regarding the false rumors online, as well as the malicious attacks, cyberbullying, and even the leaks of my personal information, I have preserved all the evidence and handed it over to my lawyer for legal action. As for the people who physically assaulted me recently, I will also pursue their criminal responsibility according to the law.”
That afternoon, the police issued an official statement.
The general message was that after forensic investigation, Vivienne was found to bear no responsibility for the car accident. They urged the public to stop following the online hate campaign.
As for the so–called eyewitnesses, they had fabricated the story purely for attention. In reality, they had no evidence whatsoever.
Not long after the statement was released, the so–called witnesses, who had sworn they saw everything, quickly came forward to apologize.
Their statements had caused serious consequences, and they were arrested and detained by the police.
Meanwhile, the violent extremists who had assaulted Vivienne at the hospital entrance were tracked down one by one with Dante’s help.
They first issued public apologies and were then detained for intentional harm.
After this swift crackdown, the number of people attacking Vivienne online significantly decreased.
After all, it was an official police statement. Many in the frenzy finally calmed down.
However, some internet trolls continued to spread malicious speculation about Vivienne.
Vivienne sued them for defamation.
Once caught, these trolls admitted that their hateful accusations had no basis at all, they had made everything up.
Some even confessed that they had been hired to smear Vivienne on purpose.
Someone had paid them to fuel the hate against her online.
Inside the hospital room, Lillian was in complete disarray.
Eggshells, vegetable leaves, and all sorts of colorful, unknown liquids clung to her clothes and face.

Chapter 33 Why Did You Lie?
The wound on her forehead had been treated and scabbed over, but it still looked horrifying.
When Edmund pushed the door open, Lillian was covering her face, sobbing.
Victor was beside her, trying to comfort her, but to no avail.
Seeing Edmund arrive, Victor immediately erupted in anger.
“Eddy, the people who attacked Lillian this time were sent by that wicked woman Vivienne!”
Edmund asked, “How do you know it was Vivienne?”

“Because those people surrounding us kept saying things like ‘evil deeds get repaid‘ and that we should experience cyberbullying for ourselves.”
The last time Vivienne had been falsely accused of being a murderer, she had suffered severe online abuse. It had not only affected her life but had even caused her physical harm.
Victor spoke as if it were obvious. “Vivienne has always disliked Lillian and made things difficult for her. Now that she’s suffered such a huge loss, of course, she would hold a grudge and use this chance to get revenge on Lillian. Who else could it be but her?”
Edmund’s gaze darkened slightly. “Just because of what those people said, you’re certain it was Vivienne?”
At that moment, Lillian, who had been silently bowing her head, suddenly looked up and stared straight at Edmund.
“Eddy, Vivienne has hated me for a long time. This time, she posted the video online. That alone proves that she wants me dead…”
Edmund suddenly asked, “Lillian, why did you lie?”
Tears welled up in Lillian’s eyes. “At the time of the accident, I had a brief moment of dizziness. When I came to, I saw the car rushing toward me and just assumed that it was Ms. Everest trying to run me over…”
Victor immediately chimed in, fanning the flames. “Eddy, Lillian didn’t even know Vivienne was the driver. And to prove her innocence, she even put out a reward for eyewitnesses. Who knew those so–called witnesses would be so unreliable, making up stories for money? Lillian is a victim in all this too.”
“Lillian was already running out of time, and now she’s being cyberbullied too… Victor clenched his fists, his face filled with anger. “Vivienne wants Lillian dead!”
Lillian’s expression twisted between laughter and tears. “I know, It’s too late now. No matter what I say, you won’t believe me anymore. Eddy, just go. Don’t concern yourself with me. I don’t want to drag you down.”
Edmund’s brows furrowed slightly. “Why were you saying those things to Vivienne that day?”
