Very soon, Whitney's phone rang.

"Ms. Backman, things have gone south! One of our projects has been exposed for cutting corners. The case where someone was crushed to death has also been dug up. The authorities are on site. They've also uncovered embezzlement and tax evasion!"

The voice on the other end left Whitney no room to relax. She went pale, swaying as if she were about to collapse. If Nathan hadn't caught her, she would've fallen right there.

    Very soon, Whitney's phone rang."Ms. Backman, things have gone south! One of our projects has been exposed for cutting corners. The case where someone was crushed to death has also been dug up. The authorities are on site. They've also uncovered embezzlement and tax evasion!"The voice on the other end left Whitney no room to relax. She went pale, swaying as if she were about to collapse. If Nathan hadn't caught her, she would've fallen right there.Her pitiful state sparked his anger toward the rest. "So, this is what you guys have been planning, huh?"The police chief was infuriatingly speechless. "You guys are bold—I'll tell you that much."Austin handed the recovered footage to me. I walked up to the chief and pleaded, "This is the footage of Nathan Larsson assaulting Benjamin Spark, my grandfather. I hope you'll handle this fairly."The chief nodded eagerly. "Of course! Leave that to me! No matter what, I'll clear your grandpa's name!"After receiving his guarantee, Austin

    I played the footage I had saved from the surveillance camera in my study. The lewd sounds and indecent scenes rendered Nathan and Whitney shocked."Since when did you have cameras in the study?" she blurted out, realizing she had misspoken, then quickly corrected herself. "How could you make a deepfake of us?" I chuckled lightly. "Deepfake or not, the experts will judge for themselves."I turned to Nathan. "Don't you love your work? And how fast you make money? If I just upload this video, who knows what will happen to your shining career?"His face darkened with a flash of anger. Before I could react, he grabbed my phone and smashed it to the floor. "Go ahead and do it! Let's see how you're going to upload it now!"His voice had an edge of madness to it.I shook my head softly. "Oh, no. Too bad, I already scheduled the upload. If saving Grandpa goes smoothly, I might still pull it back. But now that you've broken my phone, I have no way of stopping it from going out to the wor

    I was worried sick about Grandpa. He had old illnesses on top of his new injuries. If he stayed in prison too long, there was no telling what might happen to him.Conrad and Maverick felt the same way. Thus, they brought me straight to the police station. No matter what, getting Grandpa out first was the top priority.As for the video evidence that had been swapped, they also helped arrange for technicians to work on it. The fake video Whitney had produced was also being restored and compared by well-known experts.Multiple teams were working simultaneously. To save Grandpa, they were truly putting in immense effort.When Conrad, Maverick, and I arrived at the police station entrance, we ran straight into Nathan and Whitney. Although they tried to disguise themselves with hats and masks, I easily recognized them from their figures.Whitney clearly saw me, too. She went from initially shocked to contemptuous when seeing Conrad and Maverick. "Wow. Sending one old man into prison was

    Meanwhile, Whitney and Nathan, who hadn't managed to catch up with me, were looking extremely grim. In my scramble to escape, I had grabbed things at random and hurled them at them.One of the items struck Nathan square on the forehead, leaving a swollen bump there. Whitney looked at his forehead, distressed. "I don't think you'll be able to film for the next few days."In this era where traffic and exposure were everything, disappearing for too long meant being tossed into oblivion. Irritation churned in his head. Still, he pulled her into his arms and said, "It's fine. I have you, don't I?"She nodded. "Don't worry. I'm the CEO now. I'm running the company myself, so I'm not that powerless woman who couldn't fight alongside you anymore."The way she gazed at him screamed infatuation.He kissed her. "I believe in you. Once this whole thing is settled, we can finally be together. We'll get married openly, with no more restraints, no more hiding."Hearing that, Whitney leaned forw

    When the guard on duty saw how battered and disheveled I was, he could no longer remain calm. Combined with what I had said, whether it was true or not, it was something they couldn't ignore.As the soldier rushed toward me, I felt my tense body finally succumbing to the pressure. The last thing I remembered was collapsing into a solid chest.When I woke up again, I was already in the infirmary. Sitting beside my bed was the soldier who had run toward me before I passed out. "You're awake.""Please," I begged hoarsely, "save my grandpa. He's old and in poor health. If he stays in prison, he'll die!"I knew Whitney and Nathan didn't intend to let Grandpa stay alive after sending him to prison. If he died, there would be no one left to testify. No matter what, I couldn't let that happen."Don't worry. We're already investigating the situation. Your body is very weak right now, so rest up—that's your top priority."The soldier told me that they had reviewed what I had brought with m

    I rushed without pause to Grandpa's place. At the doorstep, all I saw were vandalized walls and piles of garbage. The stench was so overpowering I nearly passed out.Holding my breath, I pushed the door open. Inside, the familiar rooms were almost untouched. I hurriedly opened the boxes where Grandpa kept his treasured medals.Alongside them were Dad's badge and photos of him with Mom. Tears blurred my vision as I carefully gathered those precious items into my arms.Then, my phone vibrated. It was a notification from the surveillance camera in my study. I opened it and saw Whitney and Nathan in there.They weren't looking for anything in particular. Instead, their clothes were disheveled and undone as he carried her onto my desk. That was my workstation, yet it had now become one of their impromptu spots.All I felt was a boiling disgust."I'm so sorry to let you stay married to that man for so many years, Whitney," Nathan said in between gasps, then crushed his lips into hers.
