The private room was thick with heat, resentment, and the sharp smell of alcohol. Shirley's fans, normally a cheerful and devoted crowd, had transformed into a roaring mob. The story they had just heard—Shirley's pitiful tale of heartbreak, of a man stolen, of a future shattered by a shameless homewrecker—had lit a fire in their blood. Their passionate outrage swirled through the room like smoke, impossible to contain.
"What kind of woman does that? Stealing someone else's man and then acting like she's the victim?!" one fan shrieked, her face flushed with red wine and righteous fury.
"Homewreckers are immoral and shameless, so we don't have to be polite to them. If I see her again, I'm going to shave all her hair off!" another declared, slamming her glass onto the table with a clatter that drew fierce nods of approval from the others.
The room erupted in agreement.
It was a truly tragic thing to be cheated on, and Shirley's carefully rehearsed story had earned her a mountain of sympathy. Many of these women knew the sting of betrayal, or at least feared it, and seeing their beloved idol suffer at the hands of another woman provoked a kind of protective fury that was almost primal.
One fan, her voice loud and venomous over the chatter, added, "Yeah, Shirley is too gentle! If that woman hadn't meddled in her relationship, Shirley might be married to Mr. Stuart by now. She'd be even more successful too! That little vixen Leia wouldn't even have anything…"
"Nothing at all!" someone chimed in.
The fans eagerly blamed Leia for every misfortune that had ever befallen Shirley. Reason had long fled the room; all that remained was boiling, self-righteous anger. Leia had been painted as the villain of the night, and these fans were more than willing to play executioners.
"Shirley was the one who got betrayed, but that homewrecker bullied her instead. I can't take this. I won't let her go if I have the chance!" one fan spat, her fingers curling into fists. The others quickly rallied behind her, their voices rising into a hungry chorus.
Just one step away from violence, they were practically clawing at the door, desperate to rush out and find Leia to teach her a lesson she would never forget.
And through it all, in the eye of this storm, Shirley watched.
She sat at the head of the gathering, her glass held delicately between her fingers, a serene smile curling at the corners of her lips. Behind her composed and wounded facade, her eyes gleamed with cold calculation. She was not a victim—she was a puppeteer, and each fan was a string she could pull at will.
Turning to her assistant, who stood quietly nearby, Shirley spoke in a low, satisfied voice. "See that? All my fans are waiting to see her. Let her in."
Her assistant had whispered the news earlier, just before they had started drinking: Leia was outside and wanted to meet her. When Shirley had heard that, she hadn't hesitated. She had deliberately stirred the pot with her stories, feeding her fans' anger and letting the alcohol do what it does best—lower inhibitions, amplify emotions, and turn normally kind people into a raging crowd.
If something happened to Leia now, if she were hurt or humiliated inside that room, it would be entirely the fans' doing. Shirley's hands would remain perfectly clean.
And isn't that the most dangerous kind of enemy?
Meanwhile, far from the violent swelling of anger inside the club, Leia stood alone at the entrance. A freezing gust of wind swept across the street, biting hard into her exposed skin. The temperature had dropped to a brutal thirty degrees below normal comfort—30.2 degrees Fahrenheit to be exact, a cold that seemed to seep directly into her bones. She shivered violently, wrapping her arms around herself for warmth that simply wouldn't come.
She had rushed out of Everheart Manor in such haste that she hadn't thought to grab a coat. Her fitted woolen sweater, elegant as it was, offered little protection against the cutting cold of the night. Her teeth chattered as she waited, shifting her weight from foot to foot, her breath forming tiny white clouds in the darkness.
A younger—more reckless—Leia would have barged into that club long ago, demanding answers with fire in her eyes. But she needed Shirley's help. She wanted to ask for a favor, which meant she would have to be polite, courteous, patient. If she walked in there with her usual sharp tongue, Shirley might refuse outright.
So Leia gritted her teeth, let the cold gnaw at her flesh, and waited.
She had been waiting long enough that her patience was fading. She was just about to give up on politeness and push her way through the door when Shirley's assistant stepped out. The woman's expression was grumpy and uninviting, her tone flat as she spoke. "Hey, Ms. White would like to meet you."
Leia's heart skipped a beat. Her eyes lit up despite the stinging cold. "Really? She's… willing to see me?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly—whether from the freezing temperature or from hope, it was hard to tell.
She cupped her hands together and blew into them, trying to force some warmth back into her numbed fingers.
"That's what I just said. Go in if you want," the assistant snapped, clearly not interested in pleasantries. With a dismissive turn, the woman disappeared back into the club, leaving Leia alone with her racing thoughts.
"Of course I want to see her!"
This was exactly what Leia had been waiting for. After all that shivering and freezing, after swallowing her pride and bearing the cold, Shirley had finally agreed to meet her. That was a glimmer of hope. At least a twenty percent chance she might actually agree, Leia calculated. Not great odds, but better than nothing.
She repeated the words to herself like a mantra: *Stay calm. Stay polite. Agree so she will agree.*
Feeling a small surge of confidence, Leia pushed open the door and stepped inside. The contrast between the frozen night outside and the warm, music-thumping interior of the club was almost dizzying. She followed the winding hallway toward the private room, where soft light spilled from beneath the door and the muffled sound of many voices grew louder with every step.
Then came the noise.
A loud, chaotic rumble—shouts, laughter, angry cries, and the clinking of glasses—suddenly reached her ears. It was rowdy, harsh, almost frantic. Leia frowned, her steps slowing as she processed the strange uproar coming from within the private gathering.
"Is there something illegal going on in there?" she murmured to herself quietly, anxiety coiling in her chest. "Why is it so noisy?"
Something felt wrong. A coldness different from the outside chill crept up her spine—a quiet alarm bell ringing instinctively deep within her. She had come to humbly ask for Shirley's cooperation, but what awaited her beyond that door was not a friendly reception.
It was a courtroom.
A lynch mob.
A trap that had been set for her the very moment Shirley learned she was coming.
But the door was right there, and Leia was no coward. Summoning her courage, she reached for the handle, unaware that on the other side, an army of furious fans was already sharpening its claws, ready to tear apart the woman who had only come to talk.
What will happen when Leia walks into that room? Will Shirley control her fanatical followers, or has she truly lit a fire she cannot contain? And what possible favor could she need from a woman who hates her so deeply?
We'll have to hold our breath—because this confrontation is about to explode.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh my goodness, this chapter was pure tension from beginning to end! I absolutely loved how the author flipped the script here—Shirley is not some fragile victim; she's a master manipulator, calmly pulling strings while pretending to cry. Her cold, calculated smirk behind the fans’ backs gave me chills. Meanwhile, I felt so much sympathy for Leia, standing out there freezing in that thin sweater while her enemy was busy weaponizing an entire crowd against her. The dramatic irony is deliciously painful—Leia still believes there's a twenty percent chance of Shirley helping her, when in reality Shirley has already arranged a trap. The mounting dread as Leia approached that noisy door was brilliantly paced, and the chapter ended with the perfect cliffhanger! Excellently written, emotionally gripping, and ruthless in its social commentary about mob mentality. Truly one of the most suspenseful chapters in the story so far.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I predict that the moment Leia steps inside that private room, the entire crowd of Shirley's fans will turn on her with venomous accusations and even threats of physical violence. Leia will be completely caught off guard—outnumbered, alone, and facing a furious mob. However, given her sharp wit and unbreakable spirit, Leia will likely defend herself with cutting words that expose the truth behind Shirley's manipulation, causing some fans to hesitate. Yet just when the situation escalates and turns dangerous, someone unexpected—perhaps from Everheart Manor or a familiar protector—will burst through the doors to rescue her, forever shattering the façade Shirley has built. This confrontation will mark a turning point in the conflict, revealing a side of Leia that even her enemies will never forget!
