Chapter 866
Soon after, the narrative online shifted drastically. Netizens began openly questioning Finnian’s moral character.
They pointed out his frantic hospital visits following Liliana’s accident, noting that since the two were exes, it was highly likely they were still romantically entangled.
So, if Finnian was secretly stringing Liliana along while publicly declaring Amara his future wife, didn’t that make him an absolute scumbag?
Reading the comments, Amara couldn’t agree more. Finnian was exactly that kind of scumbag!
He constantly hovered around her, whispering sweet nothings, claiming she was the only one he loved and that his ties to Liliana were purely out of obligation.
But now that the supposed misunderstanding was cleared up, he no longer had any obligations to Liliana. He could have cleanly cut ties. Yet, he was still sneaking off to visit her at the hospital.
What was his endgame? Did he think he could have both?
The more Amara thought about it, the more despicable Finnian seemed. If he were standing in front of her right now, she might actually punch him in the face.
“Ama, did you see what’s trending? What on earth is going on?”
Elysia called her right before bed.
Amara bit her lip. “I saw. Finnian showed up on set today, completely lost his mind, and started spouting nonsense…”
She recounted the day’s events to Elysia, who grew furious on her behalf.
“He’s been practically living at the hospital the last two days playing the devoted ex to Liliana, and now he has the nerve to come harass you? The man is a psycho.”
Elysia’s opinion of Finnian had completely tanked. She used to think he treated Amara relatively well. Now? ‘Well,’ her foot!
With her short temper flaring, Elysia barked, “I’m calling him. I’m going to rip him a new one.”
“No, no, don’t call him,” Amara pleaded. “He’s getting more unreasonable by the day. Just don’t engage with him at all.”
Elysia’s anger flared hot but faded quickly. Since Amara didn’t want her to intervene, she dropped the idea.
“People are saying whatever they
want online right now. Just stay off social media for a few days so you don’t stress yourself out. The internet has a short attention span. A new scandal will drop in two days, and everyone will forget about this.”
“I know. I’ll try not to look,” Amara sighed.
Even as she said it, she knew this wouldn’t blow over easily.
With Finnian’s actual voice recorded, the scandal was too explosive. The internet might move on, but it never truly forgot. A controversy this massive would be tied to their names forever.
Amara sat on the sofa, hugging her knees to her chest, feeling completely overwhelmed by the mess.
At that same moment, Finnian was also looking at the trending lists.
During the day, when people were gossiping about him and Amara reconciling, he had actually been quite pleased.
But as night fell, the narrative had twisted. Now, he was being branded a scumbag, accused of playing both sides and toying with the feelings of two women.
Seeing those accusations deeply annoyed him.
He didn’t care that people were insulting him. He had navigated the cutthroat corporate world for years hê had endured far worse than online name-calling. He had long since stopped caring about public opinion.
What made his blood boil were the claims that he was hesitating between Liliana
and Amara. That implication was entirely disrespectful to Amara.
After a moment’s thought, he opened his phone, downloaded Twitter and created an account. Then he ordered Will Zade to contact the platform’s executives to get him an official verified badge.
