Chapter 10 - Vanessa Launches a Vicious Media Smear Campaign Now
While quiet descended upon the Lake Forest estate, absolute chaos was brewing across the digital media landscape of Chicago.
Furious over her public humiliation, Vanessa Lowell deployed a massive network of tabloid contacts by sunrise.
Within hours, sensational headlines flooded Twitter, local news sites, and gossip columns across the Midwest.
“Billionaire Nathaniel Cross Ditches Fiancee for Mysterious Estate Employee!” screamed one prominent digital headline.
Another malicious article fabricated wild rumors accusing me of manipulating the household staff through blackmail.
Paparazzi vehicles began swarming the outer security gates of the estate, flashing camera lenses through the iron bars.
Daniel Pike marched into Nathaniel’s study with a tablet displaying the toxic social media feeds.
“They’re painting a target on your back, Elena, trying to pressure Mr. Cross into issuing a retraction,” Daniel warned.
Nathaniel didn't even look at the tablet; his eyes remained locked on the live security feeds of the front gates.

“Let them bark,” Nathaniel said coldly. “We are going to release the full security archives to the public at noon.”
