Reality was a harsh teacher, and Mrs. Porter quickly learned that 'whatever could go wrong, would go wrong', no matter how impossible it may have seed.
She couldn't believe it at all when she was first told about her son's ntal breakdown, and how he had loudly proclaid he was sorry for bullying Michelle to her death. "What do you an he just went crazy?!"
Thankfully, he had been with his 'friends' when it happened, and they managed to quickly inform her of the matter before it got out of hand.
With her younger son's condition being so bad, it was no wonder that Mrs. Porter was worried. And what really infuriated her was when she learned that the irresponsible dia chose to air reports of a 'monster sighting' that resembled her son's nightmares, which she believed was what really made the situation so bad.
Mrs. Sullivan's face was gloomy as she stared at the worried woman. "If you keep pacing around like that, you're gonna give a headache."
Mrs. Porter took in deep breaths to calm herself down before taking a seat on the sofa. "I-I'm sorry, Mrs. Sullivan. I just… can't you do sothing about it? I believe if they stop airing that crap about—"
The gloomy-looking woman slamd her fist on the table, not hiding her annoyance at all. "I don't give a fuck about that. I already covered up his fuck up once because I didn't want it to affect my plans with Samantha and Jeoffery, but at this point, I'm really wondering if I should just pick soone else! If I knew you were going to give so much trouble—"
In fact, Mrs. Sullivan knew that she had made a grave mistake in picking the right pawn this ti. This woman had always been licking her boots for so many years, and she had sohow gotten soft enough to the point of not picking the best candidate for such a crucial plan, and going with this toady's son instead.
Now that it had co back to bite her in the ass, Mrs. Sullivan couldn't help but regret. 'Fortunately, it's not too late yet! It's not impossible to discard them, and then go for—'
Mrs. Porter imdiately panicked, knowing how ruthless the woman could be to 'useless' pawns. "N-No! Mrs. Sullivan please, I assure you my Jeoffery is perfect—!"
At this mont, Mrs. Porter really regretted forcing her son to go to college. 'I should have locked him up instead!'
Unfortunately, it was now too late to regret.
The Sullivan lady scoffed. "Then get that younger son of yours in line before it's too late, if the matter slips out of my hand because of—"
Of course, she had no intention of forgiving them, Mrs. Sullivan just wanted to control and cool the matter down first, and then…
It was at this mont that a young woman burst into the room with her face covered in sweat. "B-Boss! I-It's bad!"

As the video of a young George Porter 'confessing' to all his cris soon beca a major topic of discussion. Even when Mrs. Sullivan tried her best to suppress it, the results were lackluster at best… it was already too late.
The clip had already gone viral before anyone could stop it, and both of them knew that there must be a black hand behind the whole thing.
And what really shocked everyone was that he confessed not just his own cris, but also those of his family, friends, and even dared to na a major political figure!
Mrs. Porter hadn't known about the full extent of what her son had said when she ca to her for help, but Mrs. Sullivan instead believed that she intentionally hid the most incriminating facts, leading her to such a pitfall.
'She must have done it as revenge for not imdiately cleaning up after her son's ss again!'
Mrs. Sullivan squeezed the glass in her hand till it shattered, piercing her palm with glass shards. 'Did she think she could get away with this?! I'll kill her AND her spawns!'

The Sullivans' influence couldn't be underestimated, and within a single day, George Porter was declared ntally unstable and admitted to a ntal hospital.
All his confessions were concluded to be the result of his ntal illness.
Unfortunately for so people, however, George's mad ramblings were like a tiny spark in a pile of hay. Even if the spark itself died out, the fire it ignited was uncontrollable.
Especially as a very enthusiastic girl was fanning the flas from the side.

Emilia already knew that anyone who could have suppressed the release of Michelle's news before... could do the sa with George's case now. Obviously, she had long since expected this result.
However, her goals had already been achieved the mont George's will had cracked.
With the boy's mad ramblings, and all his confessions, the Porter family was no longer just a 'useless pawn' to the Sullivans, but an actual 'thorn' that had to be picked out.
Of course, having been her toady for so long, Mrs. Porter was well aware of the nature of her 'friend'.
But even at this point, the woman wasn't resigned to becoming a sitting duck, and had of course tried her best to seek out a way of survival.
Unfortunately, that landed her right in the trap that Emilia had already laid out, and the girl smiled gleefully as she finally received the expected call from Michelle.
"Okay, all set to go here, just waiting for you!"
Emilia smiled. "You made sure everything looks perfect, right? Rember, there's no room for flaws! My little angel's eyes are as sharp as those of a hawk that's been raised by eagles and taught by an owl!"
Michelle couldn't help but pause. "… Is this really a real person you're talking about?"
"Yes?"
"I-It should still be okay, I'll look through everything again, just to be extra sure."
Emilia chuckled. "Okay, don't be nervous. Oh, and make yourself scarce after setting things up, she's seen your face before, after all."
Michelle didn't recall ever eting a girl with eyes the size of tennis balls, which was what she expected from Emilia's descriptions, but she agreed nonetheless.
Of course, there was also a determination in her eyes as she put down the phone. 'I've got to take a look at this owl-eagle-hawk thing myself if that's the last thing I do!'
