Inside the room.
Lewis Harper and Dexter Bolt stood leaning against the corner of the wall, their eyes fixed intently on Scarlett Jennings sitting on the small sofa.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t want to waste time with them, so she got straight to the point,
"You must have seen the trending topic on the internet, right?"
She spoke, and seeing the bewilderment flash in their eyes, looked at the phone smashed on the ground, hesitated for a moment, then simply stepped forward to open the trending page on the computer and turned the screen toward the two of them.
Under Scarlett Jennings’ control, the normally uncontrollable computer obeyed exceptionally well. Soon, the two saw their photos and those screenshots from earlier on the computer screen.
Both Lewis Harper and Dexter Bolt were too preoccupied with fear to notice, and rushed forward to check the trending content. The more they searched, the darker their faces became.
Lewis Harper’s face was particularly pale.
Because he saw his personal information and the clarifications from Selene Wright online.
His secret had indeed been exposed.
He was truly finished.
Thinking of this, Lewis Harper glared at Scarlett Jennings with resentment,
"Was it you... you did this..."
"Let’s say it was me."
Scarlett Jennings was unmoved by Lewis Harper’s gaze and simply said,
"Regarding tonight’s events, the Security Bureau will soon issue a statement, but to prevent the situation from escalating further, the trending topics need to be removed."
As she spoke, she looked at Dexter Bolt, suddenly serious, "So, you better get to work."
Lewis Harper was taken aback by Scarlett Jennings’s sudden shift, and Dexter Bolt instinctively pointed to himself, "Me?" freewebnσvel.cøm
Scarlett Jennings nodded,
"Weren’t you the one who helped him get the trending topics to attack me online? Since you have the means, you can take them down yourself."
Lewis Harper’s cheek muscle involuntarily twitched, and his face immediately turned grim, "This mess was caused by you, shouldn’t you be responsible?!"
With the Jennings Family’s resources, taking down a trending topic shouldn’t be a problem, right? Why did she have to make things difficult for them?
Scarlett Jennings looked at Lewis Harper with cold, indifferent eyes,
"That’s why I’m taking responsibility now."
Her way of taking responsibility was to make the people involved handle it themselves.
Although a call to Donovan Jennings could quickly take down the trending topic.
But...
Since they started this mess, why should she have to pay for it?
Doing it yourself is the best way to go.
"You can also choose to do nothing, since once the Security Bureau issues a statement, the public will discuss it for a few days, and then the matter will die down soon after."
Scarlett Jennings’s expression showed she didn’t care whether they took action or not.
Lewis Harper and Dexter Bolt had no other choice.
Since it concerned them, they didn’t have the time to waste.
After the chat screenshots were exposed, they were bound to be criticized by the entire internet.
Yes, both of them.
Dexter Bolt was also in that PUA group.
Reluctantly, the two began to work at the computer, with Lewis Harper spending money to remove the trending topics and purchasing a few new trending topics instead, while Dexter Bolt focused the heat on the new topics.
They worked chaotically for over an hour.
Finally, the online attention on them began to drop.
Just then, the doorbell rang again.
Scarlett Jennings raised her hand calmly, "Oh, it’s the person I called."
Getting up, she went to open the door.
Lewis Harper and Dexter Bolt noticed her attitude and figured she understood the situation.
Realizing the scares they had faced and the work they had to do for so long, she even called them some takeout.
Because Scarlett Jennings hadn’t shown any anger or blame towards them since her arrival, they subconsciously chose to forget the ’ghost’ incident earlier, believing this was her way of burying the hatchet.
Lewis Harper thought about the money he just spent and felt a little pained, but seeing Scarlett Jennings seemed reasonable, he planned to ask her to persuade her cousin later to waive Fiona Harper’s two million.
