The Queen They Buried

Chapter 461

Birgitte woke up and realized something big had happened overnight,

Because of the acid attack by one of Grace’s crazed fans, Birgitte already had some old drama tied to her name. With insiders spreading the details, everyone online was waiting for the next juicy update.

Before Birgitte could even respond, news broke that Hugo had snuck into the TV station in the middle of the night. Then, Hugo and Grace’s conversation leaked online.

Grace’s fans started speaking up for her: [What does this have to do with Grace? Is it her job to control her fans?]

[And he calls himself a public servant? The way he acted, I honestly thought he was about to kill someone!]

[Honestly, what did Grace even do wrong? Hugo and Birgitte weren’t even dating. Is it a crime to go after someone you like?]

Hugo’s special status only made things messier. He barged into the TV station without a shred of evidence and then laid his hands on Grace during their confrontation. Even if he didn’t hurt Grace, his behavior was just way too controversial.

Birgitte, who should’ve been the clear victim, suddenly found herself unable to defend her side. Thanks to all the chaos Hugo stirred up, the truth eventually got muddled.
