That afternoon, Vickie made an announcement, revealing that the article using her of stic surgery was traced back to New Age, a press agency Debra had

    purchased.

    Netizens theorized that Debra, threatened by Vickie''s im to the Frazier family legacy, hadunched a smear campaign.

    Vickie effortlessly countered the allegations, cementing public belief in her "true heiress" status.

    The air at the Potter Mansion was thick with tension.

    "I wanted to help. I didn''t expect this to happen," Gand stammered.

    Juan''s devotion to Debra was obvious, yet Juan fed him false intel. He felt like he had misced his trust, and the betrayal stung.

    Erica paced. "Regrets won''t fix this. They baited the trap, and we walked in. We need a n to expose Vickie''s lies."

    "The resemnce can''t be a coincidence," Randy said thoughtfully. "The stic surgery ims must hold truth. They''re mixing facts with fiction."

    "Standard corporate warfare," Drake chimed in. "Leak scandals first for buzz, stage a rebuttal, and then craft a narrative to impress. Now any future usations against Vickie will seem fabricated."

    "This is my fault." Gand smacked his forehead. "I rushed in without verifying the dossier."

    Erica narrowed her eyes. "Where did you get those documents?"

    Before Gand could reply, Marion cut in, "Trapse dressed as gifts."

    "What now?" Erica griped. "Let them win?"

    "Never." Gand straightened. "I made this mess. I''ll clean it."

    He stormed upstairs, Liza trailing anxiously.

    Debra emerged from her room and sensed the tension. "Is anything wrong?"

    Erica and Randy shot to their feet. Debra''s suspicion sharpened.

    Marion guided her arm. "Minor issue. Just take a rest and leave

    swhovel

    is."

    "Just tell me," she insisted, her gaze sweeping the room beforending on Drake.

    swhoven

    Drake revealed, "Vickie dered herself the true heiress. Gand

    tried debunking her bet

    walked into

    a trap. Now the whole world thinks you''re the impostor."
