NovelEnglish"Forget everything else. First, explain towhat's going on with your social media posts." James shoved his phone, showing the social media feed, right in front of Angelo.
He had just seen it himself, in the brief tit took to walk from the study to the hallway. Angelo had posted another update with the headline: *Shocking! Ex-husband's grandmother travels thousands of miles just to hire a hitman for me!* "This is..." Angelo was hit with a wave of emotions. Oh no, posted it in a hurry and forgot to hide it! James said, "Do you want to delete it yourself, or should I?" "I'll do it, I'll do it!" Angelo quickly pulled out his phone, logged into his alternate reporter account, and opened the post he had just edited.

Angelo tentatively asked, "What if... we don't delete it?" There were so many likes already, and journalists were notorious gossipers. The news had undoubtedly spread far and wide in just this little time. "After all, no one can guess who I'm talking about!" As soon as Angelo finished speaking, several comments popped up beneath his social media post. FlyHighChubby: Bro, is that ex-husband's grandmother you mentioned Bea Burke? JusticeWarrior007: [Reply to FlyHighChubby] It has to be, who doesn't know Bea has gone overseas?* SinFighter2.0: [Reply to JusticeWarrior007] To add on, the ex-wife of James Burke is also overseas! All the evidence matches up! Reading the endless gossip and bandwagoning in the comments, James' face darkened.
Angelo quickly said, "They were never this nosy before! Really! I promise, this won't spread outside of our circle!" *Ding-* Just as Angelo finished speaking, James' phone chimed with a news alert.
The headline that had just gone viral was there: *Shocking! Ex-husband's grandmother travels thousands of miles just to hire a hitman for me!* "It won't spread outside of our circle? Now the whole nation knows, Angelo, can't you think before you act!" James immediately swatted Angelo with a feather duster.
Angelo nearly dropped his phone. Damn! He hadn't gone viral in ages, and the one the does, it hits big? For a moment, Angelo was thrilled, but then, looking up at James' grim face and the feather duster in his hand, his mood soured.
"James, hearout, there's still room to maneuver here..." As Angelo tried to justify himself, he said, "At least, at least there's sgood news! Sophie, seeing this news, will surely know Bea means her harm, and she can take O precautions!" The more Angelo spoke, the more he believed he was right.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut all he got in return was an even darker look from James: "Sophie has Ethan by her side. Even without them taking precautions, do you think Bea could harm a hair on Sophie's head?" "...That makes sense." Angelo hesitantly asked, "So... does this news have any impact?" "Nothing significant, besides embarassing grandmother." "That's good then!" "Shut up!"
At that moment, James wished he could sew Angelo's mouth shut. So, Angelo silently closed his mouth.
Shut it is! Meanwhile Overseas, in the Costello family residence.
Sophie was lying on her bed, reading the news about Bea coming overseas to kill her on her phone, barely suppressing her laughter:
"Which idiot journalist cup with this headline? How dare they say such things?" X
