Chapter 107 Cold Night, Warmer Hearts

Aubrey’s POV

Moonlight filtered in through the narrow gap between the curtains. I stared at my phone screen, watching Mariana’s apology video. Her amber eyes shimmered with tears, fragile and sincere. The video had already surpassed ten million views, and the comments were flooded with sympathy-“poor thing, “she deserves forgiveness.”

In the video, she explained everything: how she had threatened Daria in a moment of weakness but never followed through. She claimed someone close to her had overheard her, misunderstood her words, and acted on their own. That person then tricked her into believing Daria had agreed to sell the dance, and, desperate for fame, she went along with it. But now, she had sent that person to turn themselves in and felt deeply guilty. She was ashamed of disappointing her fans and had decided to retire.

Mariana apologized again and again with carefully chosen words. She even said that, no matter where Daria was or how much he hated her, she was ready to make amends–if he came forward.

The werewolves who had been calling her a monster were starting to soften. Some even went back to supporting her, saying she was simply led astray by a foolish assistant. Others were practically lining up to become her new one.

And thanks to her PR team working overtime, the hacked performance was now being spun as part of a grand conspiracy.

In less than ten days, Mariana had transformed from villain to victim–a misunderstood artist forced off stage by cruel schemers. Her comeback game was masterful.

I couldn’t help but laugh coldly. Compared to Bailey, Mariana clearly knew how to manipulate public opinion. She didn’t just fight back–she rewrote the story.

I set my phone down, feeling like something was missing.

That’s when I realized–my phone had been quiet. Too quiet.

Henry used to call constantly, even when he was busy. I always had the choice to answer or ignore him. But now, he’d been in Stella Pack for ten days… and hadn’t called once.

I pouted and flopped on the bed, restless.

Then–suddenly–my phone rang.
