Loud gasps filled the air at Kisha's announcement. Some viewed her as arrogant, dismissing her as just another Coltons', hungry for power, and would use deception to mislead people, and believed that her gender did not necessarily mean she would lead with kindness. Others speculated that she had used her body to secure the position or that her lover had helped her seize it. Many began to make their own conjectures since Kisha had not detailed how she came to power. However, she paid little heed to these rumors, knowing that explanations would fall on deaf ears. Instead, she preferred to let her actions demonstrate her competence and leadership.
