The Despised Luna's Comeback
Rosaline's POV: The moment Heidi actually jumped, a chorus of shocked gasps erupted from the onlookers. The doctors and nurses on the rooftop exchanged glances before rushing downstairs, leaving only Caden and me behind. "That was quite the performance," I smirked at Caden with satisfaction. "I might just consider giving you a role in my next film." Caden raised an eyebrow. "I'll think about it." "Where's Yale?" I glanced around. Caden coughed lightly, and Yale immediately stepped forward, holding up his phone. "Did you get everything on video?" I asked. Yale nodded. "Post it online in the middle of the night," I instructed. "Make sure to tag me, Heidi, and Caden. This will definitely go viral." Lifting my chin slightly, I mused aloud, "The trending topic will be something like 'Rosaline the homewrecker forces Eclipse Pack's heir's first love to her death'. That should get people talking." Caden ruffled my hair dotingly. "Aren't you afraid of being attacked and criticized?" "It's nothing new to me," I said nonchalantly. I had already planned everything. Heidi wanted to use public sympathy to pressure me, to turn public opinion against me with her theatrics. So why not give her a push? Let her get what she wants. I'd help her stir up an even bigger storm. Then, when the moment was right, I'd expose her for the fraud she was and destroy her once and for all. By then, not only would I come out of this unscathed, but people would also feel guilty for ever doubting me. The public loves a redemption arc. And with all that buzz, I could ride the wave to promote Starplay Entertainment's latest film ... D*mn, I was a genius. "Let's head down," Caden said, catching me off guard as he suddenly leaned in and planted a quick kiss on my cheek.I glared at him. "You're shameless!" He chuckled and walked with me down the stairs. By the time we reached the ground floor, the hospital was in complete chaos. Doctors, nurses, and patients alike were all in shock. Heidi had fallen just as a team of werewolf officers arrived and set up an emergency air cushion. Now, she was unconscious, being rushed to the emergency room by a group of frantic medical staff. The press had already gotten wind of the incident and swarmed the area, snapping photos of Heidi's pale, fragile form. I stormed out of the hospital with fury written all over my face, while Caden followed closely behind with a cold demeanor. The excited reporters wasted no time surrounding us. A scandal involving the fiancée and first love of the Eclipse Pack's heir? A dramatic falling-out, with Rosaline forcing Heidi to jump to her death? This was front-page material! The questions came flying at me like bullets. "Ms. Sinclair, can you explain what really happened?" "Ms. Sinclair, we've heard reports that you drove Ms. Tessford to jump. While it's true that she wronged you in the past, she never tried to kill you. But now that she's terminally ill, do you really have no remorse for pushing her to the brink?" "Mr. Holbrook has always claimed Ms. Tessford was his first love. He spent years looking for her, yet you swooped in and stole him away. Don't you feel guilty for being the third party?" The reporters were filled with righteous indignation, firing sharp questions at me, outright accusing me of forcing Heidi to jump off the building. I glanced at the cameras pointed at me and spoke calmly. "Caden is my fiancé. How does that make me the third party? You call Heidi his first love, but were they ever actually together?" However, the reporters refused to back down. "Ms. Sinclair, we've heard that you and Mr. Holbrook had already called off your engagement, and you haven't officially gotten engaged again. Can you really claim he's still your fiancé?" "If what you say is true, that Mr. Holbrook is your fiancé, then why would you drive Ms. Tessford to the point of jumping? Were you afraid she'd steal him from you?" These damn reporters. They didn't dare offend Caden, so they were taking all their frustrations out on me instead. My expression darkened as I curtly responded, "No comment." Just then, a sleek black Bentley rolled up and came to a stop in front of the crowd. The door swung open, and Jasper stepped out. "It's Jasper! Jasper's here!" one reporter shouted excitedly. Immediately, the crowd swarmed him. "Jasper, are you here to pick up Ms. Sinclair?" "Jasper, what's your take on Ms. Sinclair forcing Ms. Tessford to jump?" "Jasper, what's your relationship with Ms. Sinclair? Are you really just coworkers?" Jasper ignored them all and walked straight to me. "Rosaline, are you okay?" I nodded. "Let's go." Jasper opened the car door for me and I got in without hesitation. The Bentley sped off, leaving the reporters scrambling. Caden's POV: The reporters were momentarily stunned by Rosaline's sudden departure. Then, as if realizing I was still there, they turned to me expectantly. I was not Rosaline. My expression remained cold, exuding an aura of unapproachable dominance. Sensing the hostility in the air, the reporters exchanged glances, checked the footage they had captured, and eventually dispersed. I paid them no mind. Instead, my gaze followed the direction Rosaline had left in. That woman had the guts to call Jasper here and leave with him in front of everyone. Am I nothing in her eyes?
