Chapter 583

For another blurry, angled photo to generate this much buzz, it was clear someone was fanning the flames from behind the scenes.
It didn’t take a genius to figure out that person was Maria.
Soon, the entire internet was condemning her. Maria’s fans naturally seized the opportunity to kick her while she was down, bringing up the old bullying accusations against Maria.
The condemnation turned into a full-blown online mobbing, a comprehensive attack on her character. Every post about her was flooded with vile, abusive comments.
But Natalie remained calm, waiting for the buzz to reach its peak before she released the other photos she had compiled.
Of course, she didn’t post them from her own account but through several media influencers, all under the trending hashtags.
These were the photos she had bought from the person Maria hired—a complete collection of every shot taken that night as she and Dylan left the restaurant. From these pictures, it was clear they hadn’t kissed or held hands and had maintained a friendly distance, proving the earlier blurry photos were nothing more than a trick of perspective.
If she had posted these photos from the start, they might not have generated a nationwide discussion and could have easily been suppressed by Maria. But by releasing them now, under the very topics Maria had paid to promote, she had caught her completely off guard.
As expected, the new photos went viral, and the trending topics soon shifted to reflect the clarification of the rumors. What touched Natalie most were her fans.
They quickly reposted, commented, and boosted the content, ensuring the photos that cleared her name reached a wider audience.
In the face of slander from Maria’s fans, her own fans began to fight back with facts and reason.
Fan wars rarely clarify anything, but they sent a clear message: Natalie’s fan base was still intact. If she chose to return, she still had the star power.
With the release of the photos proving her innocence, a new question arose: who was trying to frame her by hiring someone to follow her and take misleading pictures to slander her?
As the two fan bases were already at war, Natalie’s fans naturally pointed the finger at Maria.
Maria’s fans, while defending her, doubled down on the accusation that Natalie and Dylan were having an affair, hoping that if enough people repeated the lie, the clarifying photos would be ignored.
This was exactly the effect Natalie wanted. While Maria stayed silent and let her fans fight her battles, Natalie prepared to post the video she had asked Joyce to record on set yesterday.
But just as she was about to post it, she received a call from Maria.
“Natalie, I was originally going to let this go, but you just can’t stay out of trouble, can you!”
Natalie scoffed. “This isn’t about you letting it go anymore. This is about me exposing you for whe, you really are
“With just a few photos?”
“You might want to wait and see.”

There was a brief silence on the other end. “So you have something else?”
“You’ll see it. Very soon!”
“And your daughter?”
Natalie paused. Kristin and Hubert had gone downstairs to play, but why would she suddenly bring up Kristin?
“Natalie, Kristin’s gone!”
At that exact moment, Hubert ran in from outside, his face etched with panic.
Hearing his words, Natalie immediately understood and yelled into the phone. “Where is my daughter? Did you take her? Don’t you dare hurt her, or I swear I’ll kill you!”
“Your daughter?” Maria sneered. “Don’t go accusing people. I didn’t take your daughter. But i do know where she is.”
“Where is she?”
“If you want to know, come and find me.”
After hanging up, Maria sent an address Natalie told Hubert to stay home and rushed out, heading the location.
