hapter 263 How Can This Be Happening


    On the other side of the room, Kylee''s nerves were unraveling. Jude was still nowhere to be seen.


    With each passing minute, the unease settled deeper in her chest.


    She couldn''t exin it, but a gut feeling told her something was wrong.


    Cynthia''s sudden gasp sliced through the tension. "Kylee! We got a situation! Linsey just posted a response on Twitter!"


    Kylee''s pulse spiked. She grabbed her phone and opened the app without a second thought.


    There it was—Linsey''s post, ring back at her from the homepage.


    She had dropped a rification half an hour ago, backed by undeniable proof.


    The entire story online had taken an unexpected turn.


    Where Linsey had once been the target of scorn, the tide had now shifted. People were rallying behind her, starting to point fingers at Jude.


    Kylee stared at the screen, her face twisted inplete disbelief.


    "How can this be happening?" Her voice trembled, barely above a whisper. "Coen swore he destroyed every piece of Linsey''s evidence. Howe she still have proof?"


    Squinting at the post, Kylee saw the telltale sign-Linsey had marked the design drafts with her signature as proof.


    And just like that, a wave of fury mmed into Kylee.


    She shot a furious look at Cynthia, her voice cutting through the tension. "Are you out of your mind? When you got Linsey''s design drafts, why didn''t you change anything? As a designer, didn''t you know better than to just copy and paste?"


    Cynthia froze, her eyes wide, struck by the brilliance of Linsey''s backup n.


    When she handed the designs to Jude, she had only focused on minor tweaks, unaware of the safeguard Linsey had hidden.


    in the drafts.


    Heat rushed to Cynthia''s face, her mind racing with the weight of her mistake.


    It hit her all at once-Kylee wasn''t just upset; she was livid, and this was about tond her in serious trouble. Desperately, she tried to shrink away from the mess she had created.


    "Kylee, this isn''t my fault! Who could''ve known Jude would be so careless? This is all on him!"


    In a rush of panic, Cynthia added, "Jude''s supposed to be here. Why is there still no sign of him? Has he just run off?"


    Kylee''s eyes narrowed, her teeth clenched. "If that idiot has actually run away, it''s over. I''ll find him and make sure he pays

    for this."


    Just then, a voice rang out from outside the room. "Miss Russell, Mr. Jude Todd is here to see you."


    Kylee''s eyes lit up. Without a second thought, she instructed, "Let him in. Now," Meanwhile, Jude stood at the entrance of the vi, fidgeting nervously.


    He had already seen the chaos online on his way over.


    Everything had beenid bare, and no matter what he did now, there was no escaping the consequences.


    At first, Jude''s instinct was to run. If he could just leave Grester, change his identity, start fresh, maybe no one would. remember his betrayal.


    But as the thought lingered, a bitter taste rose in his mouth. Resentment gnawed at him.


    He had nothing left, while Kylee and Cynthia were still living their lives without a


    care.


    It was all because of them.


    His mind shed back to how they had treated him-condescending, dismissive, as if he were beneath them.


    Why? Just because they were from wealthy families? Why did they think they had the right to look down on him like that?
