The gang rumors died instantly. By the time the video had two million views, the narrative had changed: Lyvana wasn't a criminal. She was a victim of a bitter, jealous woman.
The netizens who were attacking her ten minutes ago were now flooding social media with heart emojis and apologies.
In the kitchen, Lyvana was staring blankly at a pot of tea when Emily who had arrived an hour ago, burst through the door. She was vibrating with excitement. She held her phone out to her.
"Liv! You are not going to believe this. Take a look," Emily said, shoving the screen in front of Lyvana's face.
Lyvana squinted at the bright display. It was a shaky, live-streamed video of a woman standing right in front of what appears to be Aurora. The woman was hysterical, screaming about how she had hired the thugs because she hated Lyvana's success.
"Who is she?" Lyvana whispered, her brow furrowed. "I've never seen her in my life."
