**Chapter 360 Going Viral**

As Harriet concluded her passionate speech, she added with a fierce determination, “Oh, just leave this to me. You’re not in a position to step in, so let me handle it!”

Athena could practically feel Harriet’s fiery spirit radiating through the phone, as if she were poised to ignite the very world around her. The intensity of Harriet’s energy was palpable, a force of nature that Athena found both exhilarating and a little daunting.

With no viable option to intervene, Athena resigned herself to Harriet’s unyielding resolve. “Alright, just be careful,” she cautioned, her voice laced with concern.

“Don’t worry, I got this!” Harriet assured her, the confidence in her tone unwavering before she abruptly hung up.

When Athena refreshed her social media feed, her heart quickened at the sight of Harriet’s comment pinned prominently at the top. Harriet had boldly called out Maya for her disruptive behavior next door, detailing how Maya had been incessantly playing the piano all day long.

The situation had escalated to such a degree that the neighbors had lodged complaints, prompting the police to intervene and escort Maya away.

In a move that showcased her audacity, Harriet had even tagged Zaden in her post, inquiring if the rumors were true.

This moment marked the first time Athena had stumbled upon Zaden’s social media presence. She had always assumed he was absent from such platforms, preferring to remain under the radar. But to her astonishment, Zaden responded.

“Yeah.”

Just that single word was enough to validate the entire situation, and it sent shockwaves through the online community.

Almost immediately, the comments section erupted with a flurry of opinions.

[What’s wrong with Professor Rice? Doing something like this really kills her reputation!]

[Exactly. Just because you live in a villa doesn’t mean you can ignore everyone else.]

[I can’t believe this. So much for her perfect image!]

[I heard the cops took her away too!]

Each comment was a sharp jab at Maya, a collective outpouring of discontent that left no room for sympathy. Not a soul stepped up to defend her; even her loyal fans remained conspicuously silent.

The public’s reaction was telling. Clearly, many had experienced the frustration of noisy neighbors, and Maya’s predicament resonated deeply with them. There was no chance they would rally to her side.

As Athena observed the downfall of Maya, a sly smile crept across her face.

Serves you right, she thought, a sense of satisfaction washing over her.

Maya had no one to blame but herself for this public humiliation.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Maya’s home was thick with tension as she awkwardly escorted the police officers out, desperately assuring them that she had merely been practicing her piano and promising to be more mindful of the time in the future.

But as soon as the door clicked shut, her forced smile faded into a grimace.

Damn it.

Someone had actually called the authorities on her, subjecting her to this utter embarrassment.

Her fingers ached, weary from hours of relentless playing, and the lack of acknowledgment from Zaden only fueled her frustration. It was as if her determination to play was a rebellion against the silence he had imposed.

She could hardly believe that Zaden himself had been the one to instigate the police involvement.

After some digging, she confirmed it was indeed him.

Grinding her teeth in anger, she snatched her phone, nearly dropping it in her agitation.

The internet was ablaze with posts about her predicament.

News of her piano antics and the police visit had gone viral, spreading like wildfire across social media. Everyone was buzzing about it, and the topic dominated every feed.

Messages flooded in, filled with vitriol so harsh that they stung her eyes. She cast a quick glance at the screen before slamming her phone shut, overwhelmed by the onslaught of negativity.

For a brief moment, her vision blurred, and she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, as if the weight of the world had crashed down.

In the aftermath, Maya retreated from the public eye, seeking refuge from the relentless scrutiny. For Athena, this brought a much-needed peace; no more piano notes echoed from next door, a welcome silence that enveloped her home.

Ten days later, Teri’s wound had healed significantly, the scabs fading into mere memories.

Athena had devoted herself to caring for Teri, their days filled with shared meals and quiet moments, their bond solidifying with each passing hour.

She had finally managed to push aside her worries about Maya being Teri’s mother, focusing instead on the love and connection she was building with the little girl.

Zaden had grumbled a few times about Athena’s excessive fussing over Teri, but she always managed to soothe him, ensuring that their discussions never escalated into conflict.

Life had settled back into a comforting routine. Work at the hospital was progressing smoothly, and everything felt as though it had returned to its rightful place.

Yet, one lingering thought occupied Athena’s mind: she needed to obtain a strand of Maya’s hair for testing. Once she secured that, she could finally determine if Maya and Teri were truly mother and daughter.

At the Storm Estate, Beverly sat alone on the couch, her gaze fixed on the vibrant flowers blooming in the courtyard. A heavy sense of loneliness enveloped her, casting a shadow over her spirit.

Since her failed attempt to set up Teri, Zaden had not brought the child home even once. He hadn’t reached out, nor had he visited. It felt as though he had erased her from his life entirely.

Beverly was acutely aware that Zaden was now living with Athena, forging a new family, and if he so chose, he could easily cut ties with her forever.

A storm of doubt brewed within her, darkening her expression. Had she truly made a mistake?

No. That was impossible.

She hadn’t erred in her judgment. That illegitimate girl would only tarnish Zaden’s future, diverting him from the high-society women she had meticulously selected for him. And instead of heeding her advice, he had defied her wishes and chosen to marry Athena!

In the aftermath of Harriet’s bold intervention, the emotional landscape shifted dramatically for all involved. Maya’s downfall, once a source of pride for her, became a painful reminder of her isolation and the consequences of her actions. The public’s unforgiving response to her behavior laid bare the fragility of her reputation, leaving her grappling with the fallout in solitude. Meanwhile, Harriet’s fierce spirit and Athena’s quiet satisfaction illuminated the stark contrast between empowerment and humiliation. As Athena embraced the newfound peace in her home, she also felt the weight of unresolved questions about Teri’s lineage, hinting at a deeper journey still to come.

On the other side of the emotional spectrum, Beverly’s loneliness and despair painted a picture of a woman losing her grip on control. The realization that Zaden had moved on without her left her questioning her decisions and the future she had envisioned for him. Her fixation on maintaining a certain image for Zaden only deepened her isolation, as she watched from the sidelines, powerless to alter the course of his life. The chapter closed with a sense of impending change, as both Maya and Beverly confronted the consequences of their actions and the evolving dynamics around them. In this intricate web of relationships, the quest for validation and belonging continued to intertwine, setting the stage for further revelations and transformations.

In the next chapter of *Her Rise 360*, readers can expect the tension to escalate as Maya grapples with the fallout from her viral humiliation.
