Chapter: 22

Kaitlin smiled, content to let Phoebe handle the arrangements.

Despite the vitriol online against Lilliana, Kaitlin mused that as long as Lilliana maintained her act of innocence, Alan would undoubtedly intervene to clean up any messes on her behalf.

Instead of waiting for Lilliana to slip up, Kaitlin decided to accelerate her downfall, ensuring that Lilliana would experience a dramatic and painful descent from grace.

With this scheme in mind, Kaitlin grabbed her phone and quickly reached out to Three Drops.

"Hey, need your help. You up for a challenge?"

Three Drops’ enthusiastic response came instantly. “For you, Kay? Anything. What's the plan?"

His readiness to assist buoyed Kaitlin's spirits. She laid out a plan to ironically boost Lilliana's public image through collaboration with the Hewitt Group.

“Why hype her now? She's a mere trend. If she becomes a star, might she overshadow you?" Three Drops was genuinely concerned.

Kaitlin chuckled lightly, appreciating his loyalty. "It's fine. Those lacking true skill won't last at the top."

Satisfied with her assurance, Three Drops got to work without further instructions. He pitched a promotional strategy to the Hewitt Group, leveraging his substantial social media influence.

“I'll take a 40% cut from the earnings. Let's make Miss Willis a star. She's trending for all the wrong reasons right now!"

The person on the other end, already grasping the gravity of the situation, was already strategizing.

Three Drops' offer was precisely what was needed. "Deal. The profit doesn't matter as much as pushing Miss Willis into the limelight!"

The individual's face lit up with a scheming grin. If Lilliana's name skyrocketed, Alan's gratitude—and rewards—would undoubtedly follow.

"Don't stress, I'll throw the full force of the Internet behind this!"

Three Drops reassured the individual.

Both parties had their motives, weaving their plots deep beneath their professional facades.

That evening, Three Drops mobilized an army of online influencers to propel Lilliana's designs into the spotlight. They even coined a catchy nickname for her style-Ghost Designer, suggesting that her diverse and elusive style set her apart as a visionary in the fashion world, one that her peers could only dream of copying.

Because Three Drops orchestrated a flood of Internet trolls, the tide of negative comments quickly receded.

The online community, often influenced by the majority, began to embrace a new trend.

Soon, many were mimicking Lilliana's designs, catapulting her into the spotlight as a recent hot topic.

Overwhelmed by the surge of adulation, Lilliana grew increasingly self-assured.

"You orchestrated this beautifully," Lilliana complimented her male assistant, aware that the Hewitt Group's machinations had played a significant role.

"Miss Willis, it's simply part of my duties," he responded, his recent earnings padding his satisfaction.
