Chapter 421

The shifting public opinion proved Dominic had won his bet. The criticism against him had dwindled, and some netizens had even begun defending him.

"If Evelyn truly created DR Holdings' past products, why did she stay silent all this time? She only speaks up now, when the company is in crisis. She’s clearly just jealous! She wants to ruin Dominic because he didn’t return her feelings."

"Mr. Reeves stated he’s innocent and never wronged Evelyn or Vanessa, despite everything that’s happened. Whether he loved them or not, he ended things peacefully with both women. But look at Evelyn—she jumped straight to Phoenix Labs after leaving DR Holdings and immediately started causing trouble for her former employer. Whether Dominic was her ex or just someone she admired, this isn’t how you treat people. Honestly, she’s just petty."

Sophia monitored the situation closely, her frustration mounting. Beside her, Victoria shook her head in disbelief. "How can people be so blind? The evidence is right in front of them, yet they still side with that bastard. I’m starting to think he hired bots to sway public opinion."

"There will always be ignorant people," Evelyn replied calmly, her expression unreadable.

"And then there’s this gem—‘Your proof might be solid, but Dominic was someone you once loved. Can’t you show him a little mercy?’" Sophia read aloud before slamming her palm on the table. "What the hell?!"

Unlike Sophia’s fury, Victoria found the absurdity amusing. She laughed. "My team always said misplaced kindness exists, but I never believed it until now. Turns out, they’re all on Twitter!"

Evelyn chuckled. "Vic, I never knew you were this funny. You could do stand-up."

"Seriously? You two are joking around while I’m about to combust?" Sophia fumed. She had used her personal account to post all the evidence, unafraid of backlash. She wanted the truth out there.

Yet Dominic’s carefully crafted words had swayed the masses.

Innocent? The audacity.

"Getting angry over Dominic isn’t worth it," Evelyn said, wrapping her arms around Sophia from behind, her tone soothing. "It’ll just give you wrinkles. Relax. I’m not letting him off easy this time. We’re seeing this through to the end."

Sophia turned sharply. "You have more planned?"

"Patience," Evelyn said, her smile serene. "Let the public speculate while Dominic enjoys his little victory a while longer."

For the past two days, they had released damning evidence that humiliated Dominic. He had countered brilliantly—offering impeccable customer service, expedited refunds, and smooth-talking his way into public favor.

But Evelyn wasn’t done bursting his bubble.

"We’re done for today. Let’s go home," she announced, stretching with a yawn.

Before she could leave, Victoria pushed her back into her seat. "Hold on. You’ve been clocking out on time lately instead of working late. Spill—are you hiding a man from us?"

Sophia hesitated, biting her tongue. Hiding a man? More like being hidden. That man of hers isn’t exactly low-profile.

"You caught me," Evelyn said, patting Victoria’s shoulder as she stood. "Now don’t keep me from my baby."

Victoria blinked, stunned by the admission.

Sophia could only sigh.

"Has Evelyn been… acting weird lately?" Victoria gestured vaguely.

Sophia shrugged.

Recently, Evelyn had bought a new car—a sleek red Porsche, understated but efficient. It made getting around easier.

But as she headed to the parking lot, someone was already waiting for her.
