Chapter 269 Won’t Work Here
The reporters and streamers who showed up were all sent by Susie. When they realized things were going south, they spoke directly to the camera.
“Alright, that’s it for today’s live stream,” one of the streamers sad.
Ignoring the flood of protest messages on the screen, they frantically tried to end the stream, only to realize their phones had totally crashed.
They couldn’t turn off the live stream.
The touchscreens weren’t responding at all.
All three streamers ran into the exact same issue, their phones instantly turned into streaming-only bricks. No matter what they tried, the only thing their phones could do was keep the live stream running.
“Come clean and things go easy. Resist, and it’ll get ugly. Now, tell everyone, who sent you here?” Christopher shoved Bertha and Razor right up to the camera.
The streamers tried to turn their phones away, but Christopher’s crew had already seen it coming and snatched the devices right out of their hands.
One reporter tried to cover his lens and sneak off, but the crowd blocked his escape, wrestled the phone away, and kept the live stream rolling.
By now, all three live streams had exploded in popularity, with the top one racking up over ten million viewers. The online crowd was absolutely buzzing with excitement, one could feel the hype through the screen.
[Way to go!]
[Spill it! Who sent you to smear my goddess?]
[Trying to cut the stream right at the plot twist? Did you forget the Nameless Healer is a hacker legend too?]
[Epic forced stream!]
[I’m just a hired troll.]
[Seriously, who’s got the nerve to badmouth the Nameless Healer?]
[I’m just a hired troll.]
[Bro, we get it, you’re a hired troll. No need to spam it over and over.]
[I’m just a hired troll.]
[So many paid shills! Who sent them?]
[The hacker legend just stepped in!]
The trolls who’d been sent to spam and stir things up at the start were quickly drowned out by the flood of comments from the crowd.
When they realized things were going south, they tried to keep stirring things up, but to their horror, no matter what they typed, the only thing that appeared was: [I’m just a hired troll.]
Bertha and Razor were totally stunned by how things turned out They’d pocketed Susie’s cash, thinking the Scott family would bend over backwards to protect their reputation, so they could stir up trouble without consequences.
But Hannah didn’t give a damn about saving face, and Aurelia was tough as nails.
And with the threat of jail looming, Razor was scared stiff. He was already in his forties and still single, if he really ended up behind bars, he’d probably die a bachelor.
“It was Susie Scott, wait, she goes by Susie Thole now. She paid us to come here and make a scene… Razor blurted out. Bertha instantly grabbed him, hissing, “You idiot! Why’d you spill the beans? There goes the rest of that money, and forget about buying that house!”
“If we keep quiet, we’ll end up in jail,” Razor shot back.
“We didn’t do anything crazy like murder or arson! What jail? They’re just bluffing. Shut your mouth! With the Thole family backing us, what’s there to be scared of?” Bertha snapped.
The two of them started bickering right in from Successfully unlocked!
Hannah just gave a sarcastic chuckle, waved her ramy mise,
for everyone to see.
ent playing out for everyone to see.
Derina and Razor keep airing their dirty laundry live
As she turned away, Hannah happened to spot a flashy blue Bugatti Veyron parked near the gate. There was a figure in the driver’s seat, busy working on a laptop.

Chapter 25 Mont Work Here
A faint smile tugged at Hannah’s los as she opened WhatsApp and sent a message to Shadow [Thanks]
Meanwhile over at Thole Manor
Susie’s scalp angled as she watched the live stream, and she shreked, “Useless teammates! Miniam get them to shut down the stream, now?
7 can’t get through to them! We need to contact Twitter and those marketing accounts and get them to delete all those posts ASAF Miriam said, sweating bullets.
She never thought those country bumpkins would be so useless. They couldn’t even pull off the job without starting a fight in front of everyone.
if Eleanor found out her bonus for the month would be toast. If she’d known Susie was this clueless, she never would’ve bothered coming to help.
But before the posts could be deleted from Twitter, the story had already gone viral. It turned out that all the rumors were just Susie Thole hiring people to smear the Nameless Healer.
Then, a bunch of netizens realized, wait, isn’t Susie the Scott fartily’s fake heiress who blew up Brynlock’s social media last year?
Turned out, the real Scott family heiress, the Nameless Healer was swapped by the Thole family when she was a baby. Back then, during the fight for the Thole family headship, Lysander Thole murdered Alastair Thole and landed in prison, and soon after, Lysander’s wife and daughter, also died in a freak accident
Twelve years later, the ‘dead’ heiress actually came back. Turned out, she wasn’t just the fake heiress, she’s the Nameless Healer a hacker legend, and she was even dating Bamaby Thole now. Netizens went wild.
Reporters from every outlet rushed to Thole Group HQ and Thole Manor, hoping to catch the next big headline.
The news hit Edmund fast. He’d just finished a meeting with Howard and Dustin, catching up on the chaos at last night’s Xenith Systems Group party, especially the jaw-dropping rumor that Vulcan and Raven might actually be Hannah. Edmund sat there, stunned and silent, running through all the possibilities. In the end, for the sake of the Thole Group’s future, he decided they had to keep chasing a partnership with Hannah.
But before he could even get started, he turned around and found out Susie had landed the family in a massive scandal Edmund gave Mabel a call, and she immediately had Susie come over to her place.
“What’s with all the online drama and those reporters camped out at our door?” Mabel demanded.
‘1… I don’t know,” Susie mumbled, her head hanging low, guilt written all over her face.
“You don’t know? You didn’t think they’d pin this on you?” Mabel shoved her tablet toward Susie, showing the video of Bertha and Razor fighting.
Susie’s eyes welled up with tears as she panicked. “Aunt Mabel, swear I didn’t do it! I have no idea why they’re trying to
smear me…
“You really think they’d just make stuff up about you for no reason?” Mabel cut her off.
*1…” Susie stammered, her mind racing, panic rising as she struggled to find an excuse.
“Miriam already filled me in on everything you’ve been doing these past few days. Don’t try to play those old Scott family games with me!” Mabel snapped. “Here in the Thole family, you take responsibility for your own screw-ups!”
Susie whipped her head around to stare at Miriam, totally stunned. Just minutes ago, Miriam was acting like they were in this together, and now she’d thrown Susie under the bus without a second thought.
‘Miss Susie, don’t blame me. This is just what us servants are supposed to do,” Miriam replied, standing her ground. Susie was left speechless, like she’d swallowed a bitter pill and had to choke it down in silence.
She couldn’t exactly call Miriam out in front of Mabel, so she just had to suck it up, head hanging low. I’m sorry…” Mabel snapped, “Saying sorry to me isn’t going to fix anything! Ms. Carter is Iris’s benefactor and the key talent we’re counting on for our next big partnership! You keep attacking her what, are you trying to wreck our new project?” Susie kept her head down, her fists balled up and lips pressed together in resentment.
‘Hannah, Hannah Carter, why won’t she just drop dead already? Susie fumed to herself.
‘She was the one who stole my place as the Thole family’s third daughter! So why is it always me who gets blamed for everything? Susie seethed.
“Looks like all those months of learning our family rules and etiquette were for nothing. You’re grounded in the family schoolroom for the next three months, no leaving! Once this mess is settled, you’ll wait for further punishment,” Mabel said coldly.
“For now, you’re to copy the family rules ten times a day. If you mess up again, next time it won’t just be grounding in the
schoolroom, you’ll face much harsher consequences Take her away? she added
Susie Imped her way back to the schoolcom, dragged along by the maid. The place was buried in the farthest, loneliest comer of Thole Manor, so cold and isolated
Susie was seething with frustration and hate. She’d come back to the Thole family for the good life, but instead of basking in lurry, she was stuck under constant watch, forced to copy the family rules, or getting set up by someone at every turn.
This was totally not the life she’d pictured for herself when she first dreamed of returning to the Thole family.
