Chapter 14 - Helena Attempts To Manipulate The Socialite Media Outlets
Back in her hotel room, Helena sat at a glass vanity table, applying heavy makeup to hide her stressed expression.
She dialed the private cell number of a notorious New York gossip columnist known for destroying reputations.
“Chloe, it’s Helena Sterling; I have an exclusive story about the old man holding my daughter hostage,” Helena lied smoothly.
“Oh really, Helena? Word on the street is your husband tried to trade the child for real estate,” Chloe replied skeptically.
“That’s a malicious lie fabricated by Vittorio to cover up his own tyrannical abuse of the family!” Helena insisted dramatically.
“Send me proof, Helena, otherwise my editors won't touch a story that goes against the Sterling name,” Chloe demanded.
Helena hung up the phone in frustration, realizing she had no hard evidence to back up her fabricated claims.
Her desperation reached a boiling point as she realized the public was entirely on Vittorio’s side of the scandal.
