Lucinda and Noelle exchanged a look, took out their phones, and watched on the said show.
At the moment, millions of viewers were tuned in.
Salome sobbed in front of the camera as she recounted how she had been told that all of her projects had been canceled.
She claimed that she was so miserable, she hadn’t been able to get any sleep last night. More importantly, she had no reservations in implying that Noelle was behind her current misfortune.
Salome insisted that her suffering was misplaced and undeserved, that she merely resembled the starlet who was in the photo with Delavan.
She reiterated over and over that she and Delavan were just friends, nothing more.
The air inside the ward grew thick with tension as the two women listened to the lies that Salome spouted.
Lucinda peeked at the comments section and found that most of the netizens were sympathetic toward Salome.
Since they had just wrapped up Noelle’s interview, they hadn’t had the chance to post it online. As it was, she became the target of abuse of the audience. Without knowing the truth or Noelle’s side of the story, the public fully believed Salome’s claims and accused Noelle of being a scheming and vindictive bitch. They even said that she only jumped into the lake in order to get some attention.
With this, people seemed convinced that Delavan’s affair was justified. After all, who would want to be with someone as devious as Noelle? Now the netizens were cheering for Delavan and Salome.
“How could this bitch be so shameless? She should be thankful that I didn’t come directly at her, yet she had the guts to drag my name through the mud like this!”
Noelle felt sick just looking at Salome’s pathetic act on the screen.
She would have smashed her phone on the floor to vent some of her rage, but the device was too expensive. Noelle came from a poor background and was frugal in nature. She didn’t want to pay for a new phone over a petty little tantrum.
And so, she turned her anger toward something of a lesser consequence, and proceeded to beat one of the pillows.
She imagined it to be Salome as she rained punches on the soft material.
Lucinda couldn’t help but smile at Noelle’s reaction.
“Why are you getting so worked up? Don’t you realize that she is deliberately baiting you? If you give in to your anger, you’ll eventually fall into her trap.”
Lucinda turned to Noelle’s agent and said, “Don’t do anything to stop Salome. Let her do whatever she wants for now. The more she plays the victim card, the more humiliated she will be later on.”
“Understood, Miss Simmons.”

Then she called Vivian.
“Find a famous influencer first thing tomorrow, and have him post that photo online. Let everyone know that the starlet who was with Delavan that night was none other than Salome. Half an hour after the post is published, release a statement on our official account saying that Angle International is terminating all of Salome’s contracts, and she will be removed from Butterfly Girls.”
Out of consideration for Salome being a girl, Lucinda had held back from exposing the woman’s affair with Delavan and agreed to let Noelle seek retribution in private instead.
She should have known that Salome would resort to underhanded tactics and weaponize the public to target Noelle. The woman was a snake, after all.
Well, Lucinda had no reason to hold back now. No one could blame her for ruining Salome’s life after this.
