Chapter 434

Evelyn didn’t need to defend herself—she had already won the hearts of everyone.

Those who had doubted her stepped forward with sincere apologies, and the internet exploded with support for her.

Meanwhile, Dominic’s morning had been nothing short of a disaster. Just when he thought the storm had passed, another wave crashed over him.

As the workday neared its end, fresh headlines surfaced—this time questioning whether he and Evelyn had ever truly been together or if it had all been one-sided obsession.

The leaked video featured Dominic and Vanessa’s university classmates—some who barely knew Evelyn, others who had dismissed her quiet nature—all convinced that Dominic and Vanessa were the perfect couple.

But the narrative shifted abruptly.

The footage cut to an interview with their former professor, a respected academic who had mentored Evelyn.

Being Evelyn’s tutor was an honor, and he spoke candidly. The bombshell? He confirmed their relationship. Back then, Evelyn had been a scholar, and Dominic had relied on her for more than just academic help.

Later, when he recognized her talent in perfumery, he’d tried to recruit her for his own ambitions.

While their peers remained oblivious, the professor had witnessed Dominic picking Evelyn up after late-night lab sessions. His testimony was irrefutable.

People trusted professors—their reputations carried weight.

Classmates might lie for friends, but a professor? Never.

By now, Dominic’s credibility was in ruins. The internet had already branded him: Dominic Reeves is a fraud, a snake, and absolute trash.

He was dragged through the mud, left speechless in the wreckage of his own making.

In stark contrast, Evelyn was thriving. Sophia was practically ready to set off fireworks in celebration.

"Now I get it!" Sophia clinked her wine glass against Evelyn’s juice. "This is why you made me wait! It was worth every second!"

She couldn’t contain her joy. After biting her tongue for so long, watching Dominic’s downfall was sweeter than she ever imagined.

"Don’t overdo it," Evelyn chided lightly, shaking her head as she sipped her juice.

Sophia just laughed, the sound bright and unburdened. "Oh, let me enjoy this. We’ve earned it."

And for the first time in a long while, Evelyn allowed herself a small, satisfied smile.
