Chapter 378: Amelia Livestreams at the Drake Estate

(Author’s POV)

Griffin Drake snapped awake the moment Butler Drake rushed into his bedroom. The elderly servant’s face

was drained of color, his usual arrogance replaced by sheer panic. Before Griffin could even rub the sleep

from his eyes, the butler relayed Matriarch Octavia’s command for him to come downstairs immediately.

Griffin sat up abruptly. He didn’t even bother to wash his face. He grabbed his phone from the nightstand

and dialed his assistant, Wade.

“Why haven’t you suppressed the news?” Griffin roared into the phone.

His voice was hoarse with sleep and fury. He commanded Wade to contact every major social media

platform.

“I want all negative news about ‘Night City‘ from last night blocked immediately!” he shouted.

On the other end of the line, Wade sounded cornered.

“Alpha Griffin, it’s impossible,” Wade stammered. “The videos are spreading like a virus. We have spent a

fortune trying to take them down, but for every one we delete, ten more pop up from anonymous

accounts.”

Griffin’s veins bulged on his forehead. He didn’t want to hear excuses.

“I don’t care how you do it,” Griffin interrupted violently. “You have thirty minutes. Clean up the internet at

all costs, or don’t bother coming back.”

He hung up and immediately opened the social media app on his phone. His heart sank.

The hashtag #NightCityScandal was already sitting at the top of the trending list. The “Hot” label burned

his eyes.

He clicked on the tag. A flood of videos filled the screen.

Although the footage had been blurred to avoid immediate censorship, the location was unmistakable. It

was the private, high–end club run by the Drake family.

The videos depicted a chaotic scene of mass debauchery. The comments section was exploding.

Netizens were shocked. They had always viewed Night City as a gathering place for the elite, a symbol of

high status. Now, they were seeing it as a den of filth.

Sharp–eyed users were already identifying people in the background. They pointed out several high–ranking officials and wealthy businessmen from Northgate City.

Griffin felt a cold chill run down his spine. This wasn’t just a scandal; it was a nuclear bomb.

In a fit of rage, he swept his arm across the nightstand. The lamp and his phone crashed to the floor,

shattering instantly.

He didn’t stop there. He clenched his fist and punched the wall hard. Plaster cracked under his knuckles.

He knew exactly what this meant. The circulation of these videos would deal a devastating blow to the

Drake family’s reputation.

Thirty minutes later, Griffin forced himself to calm down. He changed his clothes and walked downstairs.

In the living room, Matriarch Octavia Drake sat on the velvet sofa. Her posture was rigid. Her hands rested

on the head of a heavy ebony cane.

Hearing his footsteps, she didn’t look up.

“Kneel,” she ordered coldly.

Griffin didn’t hesitate. He walked over and knelt obediently before his grandmother.

“I know,” he said, his voice low. “I know this mistake has caused a huge loss for the Drake Pack.”

Octavia looked down at him. Her grey eyes were sharp as knives.

“Do you know how disappointed your father would be if he were alive to see this?” she asked harshly.

At the mention of his father, the light in Griffin’s eyes dimmed. A wave of guilt washed over him.

His father had died because of him. Years ago, Griffin had been a naive, spoiled young master. He couldn’t accept the dark side of the family business and had run away from home.

That act of rebellion had led to his kidnapping. His father had traded his own life to save Griffin from the

kidnappers.

After his father’s death, Griffin had changed overnight. The soft, naive boy died with his father. He became

cold and ruthless.

He remembered the first time he tasted true power. He had hired elite assassins to slaughter the entire family of his enemies. He had their bodies weighted and sunk into the deep sea.

That ruthlessness had won him Octavia’s favor. She had handed the family business to him.

Night City was more than just a club. It was the Drake family’s most important intelligence gathering network. Now, because of his negligence, it was on the verge of collapse. He might even have to find a

scapegoat to take the fall for the illegal activities.

Suddenly, Octavia raised her cane.

*Thwack!*

She struck Griffin hard across the back. He gritted his teeth but didn’t make a sound.

“You have failed repeatedly against Amelia Stone!” Octavia scolded furiously. “You still haven’t learned to be vigilant! Now look at the disaster you’ve caused!”

She panted slightly, her anger spent for the moment. She turned her gaze to Butler Drake, who was

standing nervously in the corner.

“Is the news suppressed?” she demanded.

The butler lowered his head, trembling. “No, Matriarch. It… it’s still spreading.”

“Useless!” Octavia shouted.

Griffin reached into his pocket to pull out his spare phone. He wanted to check the situation himself.

“Stop,” Octavia barked.

She narrowed her eyes. Her experience told her this was not a simple leak.

“If we cannot suppress public opinion by now,” she said slowly, “it means there is a powerful force behind this, deliberately blocking us. Struggling now is meaningless.”

Just then, Griffin’s phone rang. It was Manager Nick from Night City.

Griffin answered on speaker. Nick’s voice was frantic.

“Alpha Griffin, it’s bad! The guests… the VIPs from last night. They are banding together to sue the club!”

Griffin froze. “What?”

“They claim they were drugged,” Nick explained hurriedly. “They say they were given something that made them lose their minds. They are painting themselves as victims to protect their own reputations.”

Griffin looked at his grandmother, at a loss for words.
