Chapter 7 - The Viral Truth
By the end of the week, our legal bills were already piling up.
My father was using every dirty trick in the book to delay the hearings and drain our resources.
Sarah Jenkins sat in our living room, looking incredibly stressed.
“They are burying us in paperwork,” Sarah admitted.
“If we don't change the narrative soon, a judge might grant them temporary custody just to appease Trevor’s powerful family.”
I looked at Greg, and we silently agreed on our next move.
We could not fight money with money.
We had to fight it with the truth.
I sat down at my laptop and opened my social media accounts.
I wrote a long, detailed post outlining exactly what had happened.
I attached the blurry newspaper clipping, the audio file David recorded, and the story of Nurse Elena.
I did not use Trevor’s last name, but I used enough details that anyone in our city would know exactly who I was talking about.
Before I could second-guess myself, I hit the publish button.
Within an hour, the post had a thousand shares.
By morning, it had gone completely viral across the country.
People were outraged by the wealthy family trying to steal a child from her loving adoptive parents.
The comments section was flooded with support for Sophie and fury directed at Lauren.
Local news stations picked up the story, parking their vans outside my father’s gated community.
Trevor’s family business, a massive real estate firm, started taking a massive hit in the stock market.
