The person who came over with them was actually the manager in charge of the event.
He was a middle–aged man, and he stepped up to Caspian, bowing his head in apology. “Mr. Quinn, I’m truly sorry. This staff member is one of our technical crew. We caught him just as he was trying to slip out the back door.
“He admitted that someone paid him to play that video, trying to stir up trouble and make it look like there’s something going on between you and Ms. Hale
Caspian didn’t hesitate. He swung his hand and landed a hard slap right across the man’s face.
The man’s nose started bleeding instantly, and he felt dizzy, nearly collapsing from the blow.
Terrified, he begged, “Mr. Quinn, please, have mercy on me! I was blinded by greed. I’m willing to go to jail, just please let me go.
“This is the first time I’ve ever done something like this. Please, give me one more chance. I swear, I’ll never dare to do it again”
Caspian demanded angrily, “Who told you to do this?”
“L. I don’t know, the man stammered. “Someone left a note and a USB drive in my room. She was the one who instructed me and promised to pay me a large sum. I only did it for the money.”
He was sobbing, begging for mercy. This was the first time he’d ever been caught.
He still hadn’t gotten paid yet, so he couldn’t betray Rosalia.
Rosalia and Eliana both breathed a sigh of relief.
Caspian looked at Serena and said, “Serena, someone is plotting against us, but this guy won’t spill, and we still don’t know who’s behind it.
If you trust me, I’ll make sure to track down the real culprit and bring that vicious mastermind to justice.”
Serena gave Eliana an icy, indifferent glance while Eliana gave a smug smile, curling at the corners of her lips.
Serena flashed her a strange, unsettling smile. “I know exactly who it is, Caspian. Just hand this man over to the police and let them investigate. As for the mastermind, don’t worry. She’ll get what’s coming to her.”
With Eliana out of the picture, things suddenly got a lot less interesting.
Caspian nodded calmly and turned to the manager. “Take him to the police station. My assistant will go with you to handle everything”
The manager was sweating bullets, but when he heard Caspian’s words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and personally escorted the man to the police station.
As the man was being led away, he gave Rosalia a meaningful look, silently telling her the payment had better come through.
Rosalia gave him a reassuring glance, letting him know he didn’t have to worry.

en and Jolie caught every bit of it.
Chapter 428
Jolie’s eyes sparkled with cunning. ‘Rosalia, your days of getting away with it are over,‘ she thought.
Only then did Dylan speak up, his voice gentle, “Stella, let me take you home.”
Serena had already taken care of everything she needed to do, so it was time to head home.
She looked at Chris. “Chris, take Jolie home.”
Chris shot a worried glance at Dylan.
Serena gave him a reassuring look, letting him know that Dylan wouldn’t hurt her.
Serena turned to Spencer. “Spencer, I was hoping to talk to you tonight, but let’s catch up tomorrow instead.”
Spencer’s eyes grew darker, a devilish grin spreading across his face. “Alright, let’s meet up tomorrow.”
After saying goodbye to Caspian, Serena left.
As she brushed past Eliana, Serena cast her a quick, subtle glance.
