Her Heart Her Terms (Lily and Xavier)

Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Lily's resolve to divorce Xavier grew stronger with each passing moment.

But for now, her priority was saving Hayden. The divorce would have to wait.

As news about Hayden's accident hit the trending charts, it was quickly followed by another story about a dog belonging to Sarah, Nova Group's vice president, being attacked by an unreasonable neighbor. Both stories fought for the top spot.

The public's attention was heavily focused on Hayden's accident, and most leaned toward sympathizing with the deceased.

Without knowing all the facts, many jumped to conclusions, labeling Hayden as just another spoiled rich kid.

The public speculated that it was either drunk driving or Hayden's temper causing the crash.

Several damaging rumors about Hayden surfaced, painting him in an even worse light.

Meanwhile, the dog incident sparked its own heated debate, with pet owners passionately defending Sarah, condemning the neighbor for using excessive force to break the dog's rib. Many rallied behind Sarah, urging her to fight back.

Lily had no time to follow the news. She was busy managing the chaos around her, especially after receiving a call from Hazel.
