Chapter 188Â
The two reporters exchanged glances, then one of them cautiously asked, ‘Ms. Johnson, are you suggesting we spill the beans and expose who Bianca really is?”Â
Emily shot them a knowing look. “Bianca wants to be famous, right? If you spin the story with some drama, more people will watch, and she’ll get even more attention. It’s exactly what she wanted, isn’t it? Plus, you won’t have to return the deposit she gave you!”Â
She chuckled as she spoke.Â
Sophia felt a chill as she watched Emily’s smile. It seemed almost devilish.Â
Thank goodness she had chosen to work with Emily instead of becoming her enemy. Otherwise, she would probably have been torn to pieces.Â
Take Byron, for example. He had only crossed Emily once, and it had been terrible. He had suffered from mysterious pain that made life unbearable. He even admitted that he had nearly committed suicide because he couldn’t stand it.Â
Emily was unaware of Sophia’s thoughts.Â
The two reporters also sensed Emily’s sinister expression and shuddered in fear. They quickly nodded in agreement, terrified that any delay might cost them their lives.Â
“Don’t worry, we get it. Fame doesn’t have to be good; bad fame can spread just as far, if not further.”Â
Emily nodded, “Alright, you can go now. But don’t think you can escape your task. I have ways to find you!”Â
Under Emily’s threat, the two reporters fled in panic.Â
“Emily, I had no idea you had such an evil side. I’m glad I never crossed you, or I’d be in big trouble!”Â
Allan shivered, genuinely scared.Â
Emily rolled her eyes at him, “Haven’t you caused me enough trouble? Thanks for your help this time. You don’t need to worry about theÂ
follow–up. I promise it won’t affect your art exhibition.”Â
Bianca thought she could escape by pretending to faint?Â
Emily had vowed to repay Bianca for the pain she had caused her, making sure Bianca felt it just as deeply.Â
The reporters worked efficiently, crafting a story that played on the audience’s emotions with dramatic twists and turns. It drew a lot ofÂ
attention.Â
However, the online audience didn’t know Emily and Bianca personally.Â

The story spread, making Bianca known in the art community as a thief who stole others work. She was effectively blacklisted.Â
But that was just the beginning.Â
Sophia shared the news, and it quickly spread through the campus.Â
The students started heated discussions.Â
“Is this the Bianca we all adored? I can’t believe it. How could she be like this?”Â
“But haven’t you noticed? Emily has grown more beautiful. She’s the real standout now.”Â
“I agree! Everyone used to say Emily bullied Bianca, but who actually saw her do it?”Â
“You guys are blind. That girl reeks of phoniness. Every time she teared up, Emily got blamed.”Â
*Emily used to hold back for family. Now that she’s standing up for herself, she’s shining. She’s way more talented than Bianca everÂ
claimed to be. She knows medicine and paints, and has even switched majors, yet still tops her class. She’s about to publish a paper!”Â
“Really? She’s just a freshman and already publishing a paper? That’s impressive!”Â
To everyone’s surprise, Kurt from the physics department liked the comment and shared Emily’s paper, confirming her achievement.Â
The doubts vanished.Â

If Emily were just a little better than everyone else, there might be jealousy and suspicion. But when she was leagues ahead, those voicesÂ
disappeared.Â
Emily had learned this lesson through experience.Â
Sophia: [Emily, your reputation has improved. How do you feel? I spoke up for you and highlighted your talents. Now everyone sees youÂ
differently–JÂ
Sophia was seeking acknowledgment.Â
Emily immediately sent her some money, not much, but enough to show appreciation.Â
Sophia was thrilled and went to Byron for praise.Â
Byron felt left out as he realized Emily and Sophia had accomplished something significant without him.Â
Byron: [Ms. Johnson, am I no longer your favorite sidekick? How could you leave me out of this? I feel hurt and need compensation!]Â
Emily didn’t realize her sidekicks could get competitive.Â

Emily was in a good mood and didn’t mind Byron’s complaints.Â
Emily: (If you were better at painting, I’d gladly include you! Don’t worry, next time there’s something good, I won’t forget you.]Â
She also sent him some money as a consolation.Â
Byron accepted it.Â
But being a former troublemaker, he knew how to handle sidekicks.Â
He sent Emily even more money in return.Â
After Emily accepted it, he bragged to Sophia.Â
Emily heard they were arguing again and chose to ignore it.Â
The online story had spread widely.Â
For those closely following her, it was easy to find.Â
Daniel saw the news and was pleased that Emily had dealt with Bianca.Â
However, he wanted to investigate further, learning that James was involved.Â
Daniel had hoped James would act after meeting his mother, but now he didn’t want James to cause trouble for Emily anymore.Â
Daniel called Kade, “You have one day to send James out of the country. If you can’t, I’ll arrange for my people to do it.”Â
His tone was calm but authoritative.Â
Given his temper, if Daniel’s people escorted James out, he might never return, facing real hardship abroad.Â
‘Daniel, please! I’ll arrange it right away. His partner’s pregnancy delayed things, but I’ll have him on a plane as soon as he leaves the hospital.Â
Kade was terrified, quickly agreeing.Â
Daniel responded and hung up.Â
Just one sentence from him was enough to make Kade sweat.Â
Kade thought about the trouble James caused. If he had another son, James would never be considered for Ascend Global Group’sÂ
successor.Â

Kade immediately ordered his bodyguards to take James from the hospital to the airport.Â
James’s belongings were packed and sent to the airport, leaving him no chance to go home.Â
Bianca was unaware of the online storm. She woke up shortly after arriving at the hospital.Â
James saw her wake up and coldly stood up, “Since you’re awake, I’ll leave now. The doctor said you’re fine. You can discharge yourselfÂ
later.”Â
He showed no concern, his coldness evident.Â
