Chapter 300

 300:
“I played along, making it seem like I needed his help to expose whoever was pulling the strings. I knew the second he realized Kylee and Cynthia planned to pin everything on him, he wouldn’t just sit back. He’d retaliate—and try to squeeze every ounce of profit out of the situation.”
Collin’s lips curled into a smirk, his eyes gleaming with a flicker of mockery.
“And knowing Kylee and Cynthia, they’re not exactly the type to cave under blackmail,” he said, his voice low, edged with quiet amusement. “It was only a matter of time before things boiled over between them.”
Linsey connected the dots with a swift realization. “So, you had Jude bring recording equipment that could link back to us. It wasn’t just to gather clear evidence but also to seize the perfect moment to switch the live feed to the police. This way, they could act immediately and catch them red-handed.”
Collin chuckled and affectionately ruffled Linsey’s hair. “You’re so smart, sweetheart.”
Linsey blushed at the compliment but quickly brushed it aside. “You’re exaggerating.”
Collin planted a kiss on her cheek and continued, “The police have made the arrests, and we have compelling evidence. It won’t be long before your name is cleared for everyone to see.”
As Collin predicted, everything unfolded seamlessly.
Word of Kylee’s arrest spread like wildfire across the Internet. A frenzy erupted anew online.
Kylee’s staunch supporters stormed social media, furious at the police.
“Why did they arrest Kylee? Do the police just do whatever they please?”
“This is scandalous! I’m reporting this illegal arrest to the higher authorities.”

“We need an explanation from the Grester Police Department now!”
“How could they arrest someone as kind as Kylee?”
“I can’t begin to imagine how terrified she must be. What could she possibly have done to deserve this?”
“She has no powerful allies or hidden agendas, yet she’s constantly facing hurdles.”
The overwhelming public reaction forced the police, initially planning a quiet investigation, to disclose the case details.
The revelations sent shockwaves through the online community.
“Wait, so Kylee orchestrated the plagiarism scandal? She put Jude up to this?”
“It wasn’t only Jude Todd—Kylee even bribed Cynthia Keller, the designer at CR Corporation, to frame Linsey.”
“It’s like a twist in a thriller! The real schemer turned out to be the supposedly innocent Kylee.”
“Kylee went so far as to bribe Coen, Linsey’s boss, to destroy the evidence she had gathered.”
“Linsey uncovered their scheme by spotting her signature, thwarting their entire plan. Overwhelmed, Kylee tried to silence Jude.”
“Does that mean she was contemplating murder? Did Kylee actually stoop that low?”
“Thank goodness the police intervened in time, or Jude might not have made it. While reputations can be mended, a life once lost is irreplaceable.”
“How could Kylee discuss murder so casually? Has she ever been involved in something like this before? It’s horrifying.”
