Chapter 87 Am I That Talented.
Vivian leaned in, her voice lowered to a near whisper. “I stumbled upon something much bigger than just the plagiarism. It’s about how Stella’s connections have helped her climb to the top so quickly. She’s been using certain influential people to boost her career—and not in ways that are entirely above board.”
Cecilia raised an eyebrow, intrigued but cautious. “What exactly do you mean?”
Vivian’s expression darkened. “I’ve got copies of some private transactions—bribes, favors… you name it. There’s more than one shady deal. She’s been using her charm and these hidden alliances to manipulate situations in her favor. She’s not just a victim of her circumstances, Cecilia; she’s been playing the game for a long time.”
Cecilia’s heart sank. She had suspected something wasn’t right about Stella’s rapid rise, but this… this was a whole new level of deception. “Do you have proof?”
Vivian nodded. “I do. I’m still piecing everything together, but I’ve got enough to bring the truth to light. The question is: What do we do with it? Exposing her could cause a huge scandal, but it could also be the push we need to take her down once and for all.”
Cecilia sat back, her mind racing. On one hand, she wanted to expose Stella for everything she had done, for the way she had manipulated Nathaniel and hurt those around her. But on the other hand, she knew the consequences of a scandal like this could ripple out, affecting everyone involved.
“I don’t want to be the one to destroy her, Vivian. But I also can’t just sit back and let her keep ruining people’s lives,” Cecilia said, her voice filled with resolve. “If we’re going to expose her, we have to be careful. We can’t let her turn the tables on us like she always does.”
Vivian agreed. “I’m with you. But we’ll need to make sure we have everything lined up before we make a move. One wrong step, and it could backfire.”
Just then, Jonathan walked back into the room, still holding the book in his hands. He paused at the doorway, sensing the serious atmosphere.
“What’s going on?” he asked, his usual playful tone replaced with a note of concern.
Cecilia turned to him, her face softening as she met his gaze. “It’s nothing, Jon. Just a little… discussion.”
Jonathan frowned, not convinced. “Are you two plotting something again? You know you’re not fooling me.”
Vivian chuckled. “You’re too clever for your own good, kid. But yeah, we’re planning something. It’s about getting justice for the people who’ve been wronged, and making sure that no one else falls into Stella’s web.”
Jonathan grinned mischievously. “Count me in. I’ve got some stuff I can contribute too.”
Cecilia smiled at him, but there was a weight in her heart. She knew this was going to be a tough battle, but for the sake of everyone they cared about, she was ready to fight. And with Jonathan’s quick thinking and Vivian’s resources, they just might stand a chance.
As they sat down to discuss their next move, Cecilia couldn’t shake the feeling that the storm they were about to stir up was only just beginning. But one thing was certain: they weren’t going to let Stella get away with her lies any longer.
