Capítulo 473: Public Opinion

Selma Payne's POV:

The scandal could not defeat a deep-rooted and powerful family, but it was like an ant that had wormed a small hole in a strong river dam. The river bank was no longer impregnable from then on, and the flood rushed out of the insect's eye.

At first, it was just a few harmless drops of water, which evaporated before they could even fall to the ground. However, the bug eye would continue to expand under the erosion of the water flow, and eventually, countless cracks would appear on the riverbank. Then, the broken riverbank would disappear in the waves of the flood.

The Evaria Family was well aware of this principle. They had used their own tongues to defeat many of their enemies openly and secretly. What goes around comes around. Had they ever thought that one day it would be their turn?

With Carey as the starting point, a storm of public opinion against the Evaria Family quietly unfolded one morning.
