Chapter 176 It Is Over
The bonfire event came to a lively end, with all the tourists gathering for a group photo. Afterward, they returned to the coach, ready to head back home.
Meanwhile, the black sedan trailed behind them all the way on their return journey.
By the time they returned to the hotel, it was already four in the morning.
The trio, however, didn’t feel a hint of fatigue. They reminisced about the aurora they had seen, flipping through the photos they had taken. They chatted happy, their excitement growing within them.
Sophia selected a few photos and posted them on Twitter.
Previously, when news about Lenora and Zachary first broke, Sophia stood up for Lenora, and clashed with netizens. As a result, she faced a lot of criticism.
After Zachary personally clarified matters, the situation took an unexpected turn. Sophia, due to her willingness to go to great lengths for her friends, gained a significant increase in popularity.
Of course, there were some naysayers who claimed that Sophia and Lenora were not friends at all, merely riding on each other’s popularity. Sophia would typically pay no mind to such individuals.
When she decided to go on a trip, she mentioned it on her social media. Many of her followers shared their experiences in the comments.
When she left Olswick, she shared her experiences exploring the city on her social media, accompanied by carefully selected and edited photos.
This time, Sophia posted a collage.
Surrounding her were eight pictures, all depicting landscapes and the Northern Lights. The photo right in the middle was of the three of them, captured under the glow of the aurora.
The comments gradually heated up.
Some praised the beauty of the aurora, others shared their travel experiences, while a few were steeped in envy and resentment.
Amidst a chorus of harmonious voices, Sophia suddenly spotted a glaring comment.
Netizen: In that middle photo, the lady on the left is Ms. Willin, right? She’s quite cunning, isn’t she? Seeing you defend her, getting berated by everyone online, yet she just hides behind you without uttering a word. I bet she’s just using you, doesn’t consider you a friend at all. These wealthy folks, each one craftier than the last.
Sophia was tempted to respond, to give them a piece of her mind. But after some thought, she decided to delete the comment instead.
Before it was deleted, Lenora still managed to see it.
The trio didn’t go to bed until five in the morning.
Lenora lay in bed in the midst of darkness. She closed her eyes and reflected on her actions.

Why was Sophia so fearless, confidently clapping back at those keyboard warriors on Twitter? Despite the harsh criticism in the comments, and even crueler worlls in private messages, Sophia remained unafraid. Why couldn’t she be the same?
She wasn’t as strong as she had thought herself to be.
Often times, her indifference demeanor was a façade sije painstakingly maintained.
She feared being looked down upon by Zachary and was aware that he had no tolerance for those who wallowed in self–pity.
Back when she was accused of being the other woman, even if she couldn’t express herself on social media. she had the option to clear her name by holding a press conference or broadcasting live.
However, she had never considered doing so.
Zachary had wronged her, causing her to feel upset, heartbroken, and resentful. However, she swallowed the bitter pill alone, never once resisting,
Over the years, striving to keep pace with Zachary and earning his approval had become a habit for her.
She had grown accustomed to pleasing him.
Hence, even when she was humiliated, she dared not complain in front of Gerald. She feared his anger and even more, his growing disdain for her.
Hence, even when wrongly accused, she dared not assert herself to clarify the situation, for fear that he would become angry and detest her even more.
Lenora had to be grateful for her two friends. Without them, she might have truly struggled to move on.
During the years she was infatuated with Zachary, she lost too much of herself.
Now, she was determined to be true to herself, considering her own needs wholeheartedly. She no longer felt the need to gauge others‘ reactions, nor did she have to tread carefully anymore.
After tossing and turning restlessly, Lenora got up in the middle of the night. She logged into her main Twitter account, which she hadn’t logged in since she had been cyberbullied, and posted: It’s over
The accompanying image was a photo of her divorce certificate.
Underneath the Twitter post, hundreds of comments flooded in within a blink of an eye, and the number was still rapidly increasing.
Netizens had already been speculating that Zachary had been unfaithful. This Twitter post was almost the final nail in the coffin. In the comment section, some sympathized with her, others supported her, some harshly criticized the unfaithful Zachary, while others attacked Susanna, the third party in their relationship.
However, all of this no longer concerned her.
The moment she posted on social media, she felt an immense sense of relief, like a weight had been lifted off her chest. She let out a deep, satisfying sigh.
