The file contained the complete conversation between the true culprit and the person behind The Mars Global Fan Club.

SweetCandy: [I think you should take a look at this video. Please spread it. Let the culprit receive the punishment they deserve.]

This was where it all started.

Broderick sneered. “SweetCandy? Well, you’ll pay for it soon.”

The Harmony Law Firm lawyers just stared, totally speechless. They thought, ‘Mr. Crawford is still just as tough as ever!

Suddenly, Mortimer raised his voice. “Mr. Gray, is SweetCandy-

Then his words just died in his throat. He looked up.

Sebastian’s eyes were dark and fierce. It looked like he was in a car. His phone kept ringing beside him, and it was Aveline calling.

However, he didn’t even glance at it. “Everyone on the list has to pay.”

The file also included all the hype accounts and random strangers. It even had phone numbers and addresses attached.

Sebastian’s crew laid it all out, clear as day.

Mortimer nodded. “Got it.”

Candy Greene, a girl who lived in Jaffina, stared at her laptop, her face ghostly pale.

On the screen, the words “I Will Find You” flashed in blood-red, Burning into her vision.

Her account, named SweetCandy, was totally locked down; she couldn’t even deactivate it.

Sweat poured down her face as she thought, ‘Damn, I’m done.

Candy sprang to her feet, sending her chair crashing to the floor. Then she dashed out the door.

Aveline, wearing a full set of jewelry, looked grim. Unable to gethrough to Sebastian, she called Emerson and put him on speaker without a second thought.

Dexter and Sophie sat across from each other on the couch, both looking dazed and distracted.

Emerson said, “Mom, we need to put out a statement. Right now

Aveline frowned. “A statement?”

Emerson took a deep breath, his voice heavy. “Dexter needs to apologize to Ms. Carter.”

“Emerson, are you crazy?” Dexter shouted.

He thought, ‘Just say sorry to Mr. Gray, and everything will be fine. Why should I apologize to that girl?

Emerson ignored him, about to speak again, when a girl’s desperate voice burst in, “Aunt Aveline, please help me.”

Aveline was stunned. She looked up just in time to see Candy sprinting in from outside the villa and flinging herself into her

“What’s wrong?” Aveline muttered. She was already tired of this mess.

Candy’s eyes were wide with fear. “Aunt Aveline, I’m in trouble.”

“What do you mean? Tell me exactly what happened,” Aveline snapped, ignoring Emerson on the phone.

Sophie, forcing herself to pull it together, rushed over to steady he frantic Candy.

Candy muttered, “I sent the video of Dexter getting beaten up to the fan club.”

Sophie was stunned. “What?”

Candy broke down in tears. “Someone sent me the video. I saw how badly Dexter was hurt, and I just couldn’t stand it.”

“Who sent you the video?” Aveline pressed.

“I can’t find him.” Candy sobbed, barely able to catch her breath. She’d checked right after everything went down, but that private message was just gone. It was like it had never existed.

She swore she didn’t delete it.

Dexter was speechless. He had just gone through the same thing

Candy was freaking out. “What do I do, Aunt Aveline? Is this going to ruin my shot at Rhaesia University? Please, ask Emerson to help me. He knows Mortimer. He can help.”

To get into Rhaesia University, she’d heard about some secret academic forum that was supposedly connected to the school.

She spent a ton of money to buy an account, named her account Lucky Candy, and crafted a persona as a hot streamer and straight-A student, all just to get noticed by Rhaesia University.

However, just when things were finally going her way, that admin singled her out, humiliated her in front of a million fans, and booted her from the forum.

Luckily, this year, Rhaesia University suddenly changed the rules and set up a special interview in Jaffina. If she passed, she’d get the Invitation right then and there.

She’d finally wrangled a spot for herself with her family’s help; there was no way she could let this disaster blow it all up now.

“You’re crazy,” Aveline began to snap, but before she could finish the butler rushed in, face drained of color. Something was obviously very wrong.

Everyone immediately turned to him..

“Some people are trying to force their way in,” the butler stammered.

Emerson’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that through the phone.

Aveline’s face went ghostly pale. “What did you just say?”

Before the butler could say another word, the front door burst open from outside.

A group of tough-looking men stormed in, all dressed in black uniforms with matching Lion badges pinned to their left chests. Each had a gun holstered at their waist.

The moment they entered, the Clinton family fell into a dead, easy silence.

The man in front wore a custom silver mask. One side of the mask was engraved with the Lion insignia.

Aveline clutched her phone tightly, her voice trembling. “Who are you?”

“Lion Squad,” the leader said. His cold gaze swept over Aveline, and the pampered lady, who always lived an easy life, instantly panicked.

As if she could sense what was coming, Candy was shaking from head to toe, darting behind Aveline. “I’m scared, Aunt Aveline.”
