Boone finally let out a long breath, the tension in his chest easing. “Let’s hope it really blows over. Keep an eye
on everything for me—any hint of trouble, | want to know immediately.”
The manager nodded like a bobblehead. “Absolutely. You can rest easy. | won't miss a thing.”
But what Boone didn’t know was that this was only the beginning.
Back in her room, Sloane picked up her phone and dialed a number. “Stick to the plan. Keep leaking it-slowly.”
Nothing hurts like death by a thousand cuts.
A low voice responded on the other end, “Understood. You can count on me.”
Sloane hung up and leaned back on the couch, eyes sharp with cold resolve. “People should pay for what they've
done.”
The next day, a new comment stirred things up online.
The poster claimed to be a resident living near the site of the infamous accident. According to them, on the night
of the crash, they saw a luxury car speeding away from the scene.
As soon as the comment appeared, a flood of replies followed.

Sure enough, the tweet worked. Suspicions around Boone nearly vanished overnight.
Breathing easier, Boone began feeding his manager juicy gossip-unrelated scandals from inside the
entertainment industry. His goal? Distract the public and bury the crash rumor.
And it worked.
One after another, scandals exploded online: a top-tier actress secretly married with kids, a famous director
caught bullying crew members on set, and more. The public latched onto the new headlines, and the car crash
thread lost traction fast.
For the moment, Boone seemed to have slipped away from the spotlight unscathed.
Meanwhile, Sloane scrolled through the headlines, half-watching the chaos unfold, half-counting the days until
Lucas’s next detox session.
But Lucas beat her to it.
As she gazed out the car window, she realized they weren't headed toward the Hawthorne family estate.
Catching her gaze in the rearview

Sloane met his gaze. “It’s fine. This is a transaction, after all.”
With that, she followed him into the house.
