Sign the Papers Mr. Langford novel Chapter 449

Phoebe wanted to argue back, but she swallowed the words.

She knew Wren was right.

But knowing it was one thing; watching Stellaris bleed was another.

Out in the main office, the atmosphere was abysmal.

Joey Jenkins sat at his desk, a log analysis open on his screen. He hadn't typed a single character in a long time. The reception and service teams were actively calling the existing families, explaining the arrangements following the suspension. Every call was painfully long, and everyone's faces were drawn tight by the time they hung up.

Maya Merritt rushed back to the Stellaris office that afternoon.

When she walked through the door, her hair was still damp from the rain, and she was dragging a suitcase behind her. As soon as Joey saw her, he practically sprang out of his chair.

"Maya."

Maya left her suitcase by the wall and scanned the office.

"Why the long faces? Did the servers crash?"

Joey shook his head.

"Then get back to work." She pulled out her laptop. "We've got new leads on the third batch of accounts. The original thread that doxxed Logan's identity used image compression parameters identical to the asset library of a third-party PR firm."

Phoebe stepped out of the small conference room. Hearing this, she immediately walked over.

"Which firm?"

"Starbridge Media," Maya replied. "On paper, they do medical brand content, but they secretly take on malicious smear campaigns. They don't have public ties to Langford Medical, but they've done project work with a tourism company under Gavin Shaw's name."

Wren walked out as well.

"Gavin Shaw?"

"It's just project connections for now." Maya projected the data onto the big screen. "We can't prove he's behind this specific attack yet. But out of the marketing accounts that spearheaded Vivian's campaign, two of them also collaborated with Starbridge Media."

Phoebe let out a cold scoff. "Gavin has a long reach."

Wren stared at the screen.

Gavin had stoked the flames at the dinner banquet just to maintain his facade of control.

He had the motive to turn the heat up on that night, and the motive to make Wren look hysterical.

But leaking Logan's identity was dirty work. Too dirty.

Would Gavin go that far?
