She knocked on the door and asked, "Henrietta, why are you back so early today?"Three consecutive knocks on the other side of the door came in response.That was a signal for Angeline to wait. Angeline lowered her gaze and looked from the water stains on the floor to the slippers leading to the bathroom. Frowning, she recalled the bruises on Henrietta's wrist from that day.

Angeline clenched her fists. "I haven't thought about it yet."Robert frowned. "Sean has been implicated by the rumors spreading online and your reputation. Do you want our family to be dragged into this mess too?"Angeline said, "It never crossed my mind…""We've always portrayed you as Sean's relative to protect my daughter. That's it." Robert finally turned to look at Angeline. His eyes were sharp and full of wisdom. He continued, "Sean's abundant support for you might raise some speculations.

Before the show, the Emmersons had discussed the plan. During the program, they had to reveal Angeline's name and school and spread blue rumors about her to disgrace her in front of everyone. Their intended result was that Angeline would be forced to leave Oceanford and obediently return to Emmerson Village with them. Destroying a girl's reputation was as simple as spreading scandalous gossip. The gossipmonger only needed a single sentence to spread the rumor.
