The following day, Sophia confirmed in an interview that she was indeed the actress featured in the video. She disclosed her inability to sleep and extreme emotional instability due to the incident, lamenting the fact that the person involved had yet to come forward with an
apology
Sophia’s brief interview video swiftly ascended to the top of trending searches and led the click–through rates on major websites. Zane found himself once again embroiled in controversy due to his lewd behavior towards the female star.
“Some fans demanded conclusive evidence? They now possess it. Are they content?”
“Must this individual be psychologically disturbed? With such immense wealth, why resort to such despicable acts?”
“I feel profound sorrow for my Sophia… thankfully, she sustained no harm…”
“Our princess must be traumatized; consulting a psychologist would be prudent.”
“I ponder the number of actresses Zane has harassed. It’s abhorrent.”
“Why remains such a person unprohibited?”
“He yet to emerge with an apology, simply concealing himself at home like a turtle!”
Upon Aurora’s entrance into the Strider family’s living room, she found Zane, who was furiously venting his anger.
“A coward, am I? What have I perpetrated? Why must I conceal myself?” Zane, in a fit of rage, hurled a water cup to the floor, shattering
Aurora nimbly sidestepped and remarked, “It appears you’re coping quite adequately, still capable of smashing objects.”
Zane glowered at her, “Did you not pledge to manage this matter? Why does the situation deteriorate? Now the entire nation perceives me as a psychopath!”
Cheryl intervened with a kick, “Could you silence yourself momentarily? Having waited this long, can you not endure another two days?‘
“Absurdity! I’ve been subjected to curses online for generations!” Zane fumed, slumping onto the sofa and gazing up at Aurora, “Are you competent, or not? I might as well force Sophia to depart the city immediately, thus resolving the issue!”
“Absolutely not!” Aurora immediately dismissed the suggestion, “Even if you compel her to leave the capital, can you inhibit her online presence? Should she portray herself as a victim on the internet, the matter transcends sexual harassment to encompass bullying. It would no longer implicate merely you, but the entire Strider family and even the Fairbank family would face public condemnation.”
“Indeed, Aurora speaks truth. Remain calm,” Cheryl urged.
Zane, slumped on the sofa, kicked the coffee table, “Then what do you propose? Permit Sophia to defame me while I remain unable to publicly clarify?”
“Cheryl will undertake the clarification,” Aurora declared.
Before Cheryl could reply, Zane abruptly sat upright, “No way!”

Cheryl regarded him quizzically, Why not?”
Simply no! Zane rose, towering over Aurora.
Aurora, disregard his protest. You propose I make the clarification; what approach should I adopt?” Cheryl inquired.
Simply post on your social media asserting your belief in Zane, Aurora advised.
Zane yelled in desperation, “No! Why involve Cheryl in this quandary? Should you fail to rectify the situation, wouldn’t Cheryl also be implicated? She recently garnered an award and stands at the threshold of a promising career. There’s no necessity for her entanglement
in this debacle!”
Cheryl cast him another perplexed glance, “How can you preclude Aurora’s success without even attempting?”
“And if she fails? Are you prepared to relinquish your aspirations of stardom?” Zane challenged her.
Cheryl turned towards Aurora. Aurora queried, “Do you trust me?”
Cheryl responded with a faint smile, “Undoubtedly, I trust you.”
“I’m also in, declared Daxton, entering from outside.
“Daxton? Have you lost your senses? Why engage in their folly?” Zane berated him.
*I, too, place my trust in Aurora. I wager on her triumph,” Daxton affirmed, directing his gaze towards Aurora.
He still vividly recalled the first moment he encountered Aurora. The sun was radiating brilliantly, and there she was, alighting from a luxurious car, clad in a pristine white dress. She was bathed in sunlight, her smile ethereal, akin to an angel’s.
In stark contrast, he was disheveled, clutching his broken guitar, engulfed in despair. Yet, she reached out to him, presenting a vision of a musical future.
He placed his faith in her, and that belief led him to true success.
Even now, his belief in her remained unshaken; he was convinced she could rescue them all.
Zane exhaled a profound sigh, ‘What a ludicrous ensemble of company, boss, and colleagues I am surrounded by!”
Cheryl uploaded a post: Justice resides in the hearts of the people. If one is innocent, there’s no obligation to confess, much less apologize.”
Daxton swiftly shared her post, adding his comment: “Justice resides in the hearts of the people.”
These statements sparked significant online debate, with some public opinion beginning to shift.
‘Cheryl and Daxton have spoken. Are they implying Zane’s innocence?”
“The video appears as irrefutable evidence, yet they defend him?”

Is Zane attempting to reverse the situation? Could there be additional evidence?”
It seems implausible for Zane to harass someone of Sophia’s stature.”
“Is Cheryl being influenced by Zane? What other reason would she have to defend him?”
“Cheryl and Daxton have expressed their views, but Zane remains hidden?”
I’ve lost all respect for Cheryl and Daxton. None are commendable!”
“Wait! Fans of Cheryl and Daxton might soon join this fray!”

While the internet was still awash with criticisms towards Zane, a segment of netizens started to harbor doubts, pondering whether Zane might possess other exculpatory evidence, considering Daxton and Cheryl wouldn’t rashly jeopardize their careers.
“And then?” Zane inquired, “You’ve implicated them; what’s the subsequent plan?”
“Wait,” Aurora, seated on the sofa with her legs elegantly crossed, responded.
“Wait? You’ve gambled the entire company and have no additional strategy?” Zane’s anxiety was palpable.
“There is indeed a strategy. The next phase involves awaiting Sophia’s overconfidence, allowing her to reveal all her cards. Then we shall act,” Aurora explained, her eyes narrowing with calculation.
“What will you undertake? Give me a clue,” Zane pressed.
“Sophia fears your overshadowing her, correct? This time, we will ascend by outmaneuvering her,” Aurora replied, her smile carrying a hint of cunning.
