The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan
Chapter 378
The online community was in an uproar when the police released evidence incriminating Judith. Her once-loyal supporters fell into a stunned silence, quickly drowned out by a chorus of angry voices.
Emotions ran high as people flooded the Brooks Corporation’s official website with vitriol, and the personal social media accounts of every member of the Brooks family were bombarded with harsh comments.
Kala and Darren, both celebrities, saw their careers take a massive hit as endorsement deals and acting roles evaporated overnight. Companies severed ties, leading roles were recast, and they faced the grim prospect of paying hefty breach-of-contract fines.
The Brooks Corporation’s stock plummeted as the scandal unfolded.
Families of Dahlia’s friends, who had perished alongside her, led online campaigns against the Brooks, who became pariahs, struggling to navigate the storm of public outrage.
Stepping outside became a challenge for the Brooks family. In the end, it was Ronald who slipped out to discreetly purchase funeral items for a simple service at home for Judith. But when it came time to transport her body for cremation, they found the mansion besieged, unable to move past the crowd.
…
In Percival’s downtown loft, Vivienne sat with Dorian, Cordelia, and Thaddeus, all glued to the live broadcast of the Brooks’ predicament.
Thaddeus had been staying with Percival since before the family reunion, and since leaving the Brooks mansion, Vivienne had not looked back.
Watching the chaos unfold on TV, Thaddeus turned to Vivienne, his confusion apparent. “Sis, did Judith really kill these people?”
Vivienne had been the one to introduce Thaddeus to Charlotte, who had helped stabilize his emotions with her tutoring. As a result, Thaddeus was largely sheltered from the darker aspects of life and had little understanding of death and violence.
Gently patting his head, Vivienne softly confirmed, “Yes, she did.”
“But why did they have to shoot her? Her death will make the family sad,” Thaddeus questioned, innocence in his wide eyes.
Vivienne pressed her lips together, her voice still gentle. “She made a mistake, and death was the price she had to pay.”
It was unknown if Thaddeus understood, but he looked at the exhausted appearance of Kala and her family on the screen and said with empathy, “Kala must be sad, right?”
