The Rivers family quickly split up to carry out their next moves. Adrian contacted Boone's manager and
instructed him to start spreading the narrative that Boone's car had been stolen, complete with a copy of the
police report filed at the time.
Boone's fans rushed out in full force to defend him.
“Boone’s car had already been stolen when the accident happened! There's no way he was the one driving.”
“And the guy who caused the crash already turned himself in-he’s in prison right now! This whole thing smells
like a setup to frBoone!”
“Don’t be misled by all the biased nonsense online! Let's believe in our boy and wait for the truth to cout!”
Fans spammed every social media platform, flooding timelines in an effort to shift public opinion. But smore
level-headed netizens weren't buying it, and started raising questions.
“If the car was stolen, why didn’t they make that public from the start? Why wait until now?”

save your brother. | want you to cmeet the lady of the house withso we can talk things through.”
When Sloane didn’t move, Helen's expression hardened. “You refused to go ask Lucas for help-we didn’t force
you. And now I'm just asking you to meet with the family matriarch, and even that’s too much for you?”
Sloane stared at her for a moment. Just as Helen thought she was about to refuse again, she nodded. “Fine. Let's
go.”
Helen's heart lifted with relief. She hurried Sloane out the door.
Once they arrived, Sloane stepped out of the car and saw the words “Starlight Hotel” above the entrance. She
froze at the curb. “I thought we were going to see the main family. Why are we at a hotel?”
Helen was clearly losing patience, but managed to explain with forced calm. “This is where she chose to meet.
We're the ones asking for help-we’re not exactly in a position to be picky.”
Sloane was full of doubt, but followed Helen into the hotel lobby anyway.
Helen led her into a private room. Sure enough, a beautifully dressed woman was already seated inside.
Helen's face immediately lit up with a flattering smile. She turned to the woman and said, “Madam, thank you

Sloane listened while quietly nibbling on food. She hadn’t eaten all day and was starving.
Just then, a hotel staff member pushed the door open holding a bottle of wine.
“Ma’am, here’s the wine you ordered.”
