Had Lilah already known what she was going to do and decided to record it in advance?

By now, netizens who had seen the video were stunned, to say the least.

They had been cursing Lilah for the past few days, thinking she was a heartless capitalist, but they never expected that they would see a fact like this that would shock them and prove them wrong.

Krista's arrogant statements were like slaps on their faces.

Apparently, Krista had been the one who threatened Lilah.

Even her fall was also staged.

The food blogger who had gotten a lot of traffic by being part of the scheme was now in trouble. He and Krista were the ones who worked together to frame the Phillips Group, and now, they'd been exposed.

Before long, they both received a letter from Lilah's lawyer.

The blogger fell into a panic. He didn't want to ruin his future because of this issue. There was so much evidence against him. No one would believe him no matter how much he explained.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to just throw Krista under the bus.

In a brief apology online, he wrote, "I'm sorry, everyone. I admit that I did something wrong, but I was actually deceived. I thought Krista was a victim. That's why I agreed to take such an action with her. I'm really sorry, Lilah.”

Netizens were furious.

So, apparently, the whole thing had been arranged by Krista?

It seemed there was even no issue with the Botanic products in the first place. She had been slandering them for no reason.

It was so horrible!

She had almost ruined a brand just because of her selfish desires!

The number of Krista's followers was dropping dramatically, and her page became filled with insults.

Krista was left feeling utterly dejected. She never expected that it would come to this.

"No, there has to be a way!" she suddenly murmured to herself in a bid to strengthen her mind. She believed she still had many fans who loved her and her talent. As long as she resumed singing, she would definitely be popular again.

With this thought in mind, she immediately called Karol.

"Miss Morris," she said anxiously on the phone, "can I have the surgery ahead of time?"

"The doctor told me he's gone abroad for something and doesn't know when he will come back," Karol replied in a tone filled with indifference.

Krista was stunned to hear this. "So, the exact time my operation will be carried out is uncertain?" she asked in disbelief.

"Yes," Karol answered.
