The massive screen in the group’s lobby flickered, then suddenly jumped to two animated figures. They were abstract but instantly recognizable, clearly meant to be Lucas and Rachel.

Lucas twisted his hips and bounced around, looking stupid and ridiculous, dancing to cheerful music while happily singing, “I’m a scumbag!”

Rachel waved pom-poms, batting her lashes shyly as she sang along, “I’m a whore!”

Then the two hopped together, pressed close, and flashed a huge heart at the crowd, singing their happy duet. “We’re made for each other!”

“I’m a scumbag. I’m a whore. We’re made for each other, made for each other, made for eac other!”

At the same time, confetti exploded around them. Rows of middle-aged women waved big colorful pom-poms, twisting their hips as they shouted in unison, “Congratulations to Mr. Grant and Ms. Hart on their union…”

The chant was in sync, drilled to perfection.

Bystanders burst out laughing.

Fred, who had just arrived, felt his mouth twitch as he glanced back at the real Lucas sitting behind him.

The real Lucas’s handsome, icy face had gone completely dark.

Fred felt a chill run down his spine.

Lucas listened to the waves of laughter outside, is eyes darkening with a deeper, colder fury. “Who did this?”

Fred turned around and met Lucas’s murderous gaze head-on. He nearly cried as he answered, “W-we’re still investigating…”

The company’s system had been hacked. Every computer was looping the same animated video. The IT team had been working all night, but there were still no results.

“Find the person behind this prank.” Lucas’s voice was icy, his expression screaming that whoever was caught wouldn’t survive it.

This was obviously a deliberate provocation.

Fred was terrified.

As Fred got out of the car and saw “Lucas” shaking his hips with wild enthusiasm, his mouth twitched again.

But as a professional assistant, he pressed his lips together and didn’t laugh.

The video wasn’t just spreading offline. Countless people had uploaded it online.

That night’s number one trending topic was, “Grant Enterprises CEO Lucas Grant Set to Marry Rachel Hart.”

A video was attached.

The comments were filled with mockery.

Everyone knew Lucas, the CEO of Grant Enterprise, a man who could shake Crestburg with his every move.

And someone actually dared to ridicule him.

Beyond the laughter, people were wildly curious about who had the nerve to do this.

Lucas mobilized everyone, sparing no effort to hunt down the culprit. He wouldn’t rest until they were found.

Katherine had no idea what her sons had just pulled off. Worried the kids hadn’t eaten, she stopped by a well-known restaurant and packed up a bunch of dishes before heading home.

When the kids saw her, they waved enthusiastically from the second floor. “Mommy, you’re back!”

Katherine stopped in surprise. She’d planned to clean first, but the house was already spotless.

Something lightly bumped into her toe. She looked down to see a small robot holding a rag, wiping the floor. Blocked, it lifted its tiny head and said in a mechanical voice, “Move aside. Move aside.”

It was one of Ethan’s robots.

Ethan hated sitting still to study. After a few minutes, he’d get restless, but he was remarkably talented with gadgets like this.

Katherine looked around at the swarm of little robots and almost thought her house had been taken over.

The two boys came downstairs. Ethan lifted his chin, puffed out his chest, looking extremely proud.

“Mommy, we cleaned the house. Isn’t it super clean?”
