Chapter 198 All to Take Responsibility

Author: Night Eleven
"Of course." Joel also had a sharp eye.

Kreil shuddered and spilled their entire plan in a panicked torrent. While he was clueless about the ordeal online, he confessed to arranging Carol, who claimed that her grandson had fallen into a coma after consuming medication prescribed by Aria.

The mastermind, however, was Karen. She'd exploited Heartbound Hall's livestream to frame Aria publicly, ensuring many witnesses. Thus, even if Aria were innocent, her reputation would be tarnished.

Kreil saw Aria as a powerless nobody. Fighting back would be seen as resisting arrest. Once detained, Kreil would deal with Aria based on her attitude. Otherwise, she could grovel before Karen until she was pleased.

No matter her response, they were confident they'd strip her of her reputation. Yet, Kreil hadn't anticipated the secretary-general's involvement when they took Aria in.

Without Joel and Lucas around, Kreil's plan would have succeeded.

Upon hearing that, Frances grew furious. Having wo

    Every like, every share on a post or video about StrawberryShortcake lined Ninemyth Entertainment's pockets. The more people discussed or berated her, the more money Ninemyth Entertainment made. StrawberryShortcake got involved in this mess without doing anything. Although she sued them for defamation, it was futile. It was impossible to track down the real person behind the fake IDs. Moreover, there were too many people insulting her. The law couldn't catch them all.In the end, StrawberryShortcake broke down and asked if they would only believe her if she died.At that, Ninemyth Entertainment seized this opportunity and intensified the rumors."She's just all talk. I bet she won't actually kill herself.""She can't take it, so she's putting up this act.""Go on and die, then."These comments, a relentless torrent, crashed down on her.Her parents were left bereft, mourning the loss of their daughter. Meanwhile, Ninemyth Entertainment reveled in their ill-gotten gains—unsca

    For some reason, the front desk failed to recognize Karen. Karen couldn't believe she had to ask permission to enter her own company.However, Karen was still happy. She finally got her hands on such a popular livestream account. She could earn money without even doing anything. Thus, she didn't take such a trivial matter to heart."You were too nice to that brat before. How could you give Aria money after chasing her out? Using this tactic, she'll realize she's nothing without our family," Karen said excitedly, placing her coffee cup on the table. However, Marshall was only concerned about one thing. "What did Georgina say when you went to see her?"Karen replied nonchalantly, "What else could she say? Of course, she wants to bail Aria out! The livestream account will be ours in an hour."Marshall refilled her coffee and further probed. "Then?"Karen sneered. "It's entirely up to us whether to release her. Whether she leaves with a police record depends on her attitude. If Aria

    When Marshall saw police officers and Labor Bureau officials at his office, he nearly dropped the phone. He wondered what could have happened to bring them there. Trying to remain calm, Marshall walked forward. "Officers, you…"However, the police officers ignored him and flashed Karen their badges. "Are you Karen Layne?""Yes.""There's a case that requires your cooperation for an investigation. Please come with us."Karen thought they were referring to Aria's case. After all, Kreil did say someone would come looking for her as part of the procedure.Thus, Karen was not worried at all. She replied calmly, "Chief Thompson asked you guys to come over, right? Come and sit down. I'll get you some coffee. Thank you for all of your hard work. If it wasn't for you—"The police officer interjected with a straight face. "Let's talk about the case at the station. You have the right to remain silent."Only then did Karen realize that something was off. "Are you guys from Waterfront Poli

    Karen had seen everything through the glass partition. Her head was in a mess. She could barely walk a straight line, only wanting to take a clearer look.However, the two police officers who brought her inside refused to let her look around. Instead, they brought her into another interrogation room. With a click, they secured her to the interrogation chair.Karen's face had turned pale. However, she remained resolute. "I want to see Chief Thompson."She knew what awaited her in the room. Thus, she continued, "If he doesn't show up, I won't say a word."To her surprise, the officers complied with her request. They exchanged glances with the surveillance camera as if waiting to receive instructions."That's an easy request. She wants to meet Chief Thompson, right? Let's bring him to her."Karen felt a sudden wave of fear when the door closed. Still, she reassured herself that everything would be fine as long as Kreil appeared. In the worst-case scenario, there was Jacob. He couldn

    The lawyer was responsible for the Kent Corporation's business litigations. He only came over at Marshall's request to check on Karen. However, upon learning about the case, he immediately gave up. Politely bidding the police officers goodbye, he called his law firm to advise severing ties with Kent Corporation."It's not just a business conflict. This incident has the potential to ruin the entire Kent Corporation. Mrs. Kent provoked someone she shouldn't have, but I can't go into the details…"Usually, the stance of a law firm could predict what would happen next. It was just that nobody had caught onto it.Marshall remained oblivious to the urgency, focusing solely on taking control of the livestream.Before the Labor Bureau could complete its investigation, he hid in the washroom to call Georgina. His call was laced with thinly veiled threats. If Georgina continued refusing to sign the contract, he would ensure Aria paid the price."Mom, look at what the netizens are saying.

The moment Landon answered the phone, his eyes held a chilling indifference.As Landon strode toward the car, the atmosphere around him seemed deadly.His hushed conversation remained a mystery, his words inaudible but the intensity palpable. Even from a distance, those trailing him shivered under his oppressive bearing.They silently questioned the events that had triggered this rare display of raw emotion from the usually stoic Landon. Landon was on the phone for more than 10 minutes. Nobody dared to get near him. They could sense his oppressive bearing even through the glass.After ending the call with Moderator 007, Landon dialed Frances' number.Frances was still at the police station. The more he investigated, the more furious he felt. When he saw Landon's incoming call, anxiety and guilt gnawed at him.Maintaining a polite tone, Landon got straight to the point.

Thus, Frances reached an understanding with Landon.Meanwhile, Moderator 007 got the confidence he needed at the headquarters of Shark. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, he bypassed Harley and directly consulted his superiors. They didn't dare to disagree; after all, this was an order from Landon.As time passed, the tide of negative comments online continued to swell, and Marshall remained convinced Georgina would cave and reach out to him.

    Aria had once told Sam to avoid chaos if he could—but she'd also said that when desperation knocked, rules could bend.Now was one of those moments.Sam hesitated only briefly before diving in.He had to know who was behind this. Who kept targeting Aria? Who was pulling the strings in the dark? And once Sam decided on something, there was no turning back.Without Aria by his side, he breached the system, knowing full well the other side had already alerted the police.The firewall he faced wasn't just tough—it was nearly impenetrable. It filtered everything, controlling access with surgical precision. But Sam wasn't interested in the broader network. He narrowed his focus and cut straight to the source, filtering out all the noise to lock onto the actual IP.The auction raged on aboveground. The man behind the screen, confident in his usual routine, remained calm and unaware that the mask he'd worn for years was finally slipping. He'd always stayed out of sight, appearing only

    While Aria discreetly signaled to move, the auction hall was buzzing with excitement. Laughter echoed, wine glasses clinked, and the room pulsed with greed.Sasha's voice came through the mic, smooth and cheerful. "While everyone's enjoying themselves, let's welcome our latest arrival of the evening."She glanced at the man beside her—her bodyguard—who immediately stiffened under her gaze.To the crowd, it looked like he was escorting Aria to the stage under control. In truth, Aria's hand was already pressed lightly against his chest, right over a poisoned pressure point. He knew better than to resist—he'd seen what she was capable of.And she'd made her warning crystal clear—if she was exposed or captured, he wouldn't live to see morning.The guests didn't notice a thing. All eyes were on Aria, their expressions hungry. They saw value in her—fresh, young, healthy. To them, she wasn't a person. She was premium merchandise.She was brought to stand beside a young woman who had alr

    Eamon and Waymond had just been thrown out of the Chamber of Commerce. Waymond's face was flushed with fury, his eyes red. "Eamon, why didn't you let me speak earlier? Mr. Lincoln was being unreasonable!"Eamon, ever perceptive, shook his head. "Mr. Lincoln's been bribed. He was never going to take our side."Wise and strategic, Eamon had always been top of his class—but now, he was even sharper when it came to reading a room."I'm guessing Aria found something during her investigation that made them nervous," he continued. "Durand couldn't have controlled Lincoln on his own. There's more to it."Waymond frowned, still struggling to piece things together. "But who could bribe Mr. Lincoln? Not even the mayor has that kind of sway. He's—""What if it's someone from the state?" Eamon cut in, eyes flicking back toward the building. "We need to tell Dad. There's no point in staying here, but there is someone we can talk to.""Who?" Waymond asked quickly. "Lucas Murray—the new secr

    Durand's expression darkened; Eamon was right. Amos and the official from the state had originally wanted to work with the Grishams, especially Eamon. That was why they used the Fitzroys as a bridge to approach him. Unfortunately, Magdalene had failed to establish any rapport with the Grishams.Instead, she kept criticizing Eamon, claiming he followed Laura's every word, and insisted they had plenty of ways to manipulate the Grishams. In the end, the divorce erupted into a scandal, and the entire Fitzroy family was imprisoned.Ironically, Eamon's actions only impressed the state official more. Durand had even heard Amos say that their leader hoped Eamon would continue working with them as his involvement would ensure their plans progressed smoothly.That knowledge burned Durand with frustration. No matter what he did, he could never measure up to Eamon."It looks like you still haven't grasped the situation, Mr. Grishman. Mr. Grisham Senior has begged everyone, but where did it le

    "I'm happy to take over the Grishams' responsibilities," Durand said.Waymond scoffed coldly. "You're not worthy of it.""Mr. Lincoln, it seems someone's not too happy with you."Durand, dressed like a gentleman as always, adjusted his glasses and replied calmly, "Waymond, you've been in this business long enough to know how things work. The Grishams have gained a lot over the years. It's not up to you to decide whether to hold on to it."Leonardo stood, trying to ease the tension. "There's no point in arguing. Let's settle this the traditional way—with an anonymous vote. Everyone, write down whether you think the Grishams should step down. Let the vote speak for itself. That way, it'll be fair."He instructed someone to bring in a box, paper, and pens. Each member was handed a set. It was more for show than anything else; everyone already knew how the vote would go.Eamon saw right through their performance, his gaze turning cold as he sat silently. The votes were quickly cast an

    "Mr. Grisham, how long your niece stays locked up isn't up to us—it depends on the severity of her crime," Durand said. "As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, you should understand how serious the situation she's stirred up really is. Haven't you read any of the online news?"People are now hoping the Grisham family goes bankrupt. They're even demanding that we, the Chamber, investigate this matter ourselves!"His words made those who had previously wanted to side with the Grishams start to hesitate. With the Draycotts and Fitzroys already doomed, the Grishams had seemed like the next best option. But no one had expected Aria to make such a critical mistake.Public sentiment had turned sharply. The Chamber of Commerce was now being blamed for enabling an economic disaster. What angered the public most was Aria's carefully crafted image. If she'd shown her true colors from the start, they might have ignored her. But pretending to be righteous, only to betray the common people—that w

    Dave smiled, clearly enjoying the desperation on Lewis' face. "Also, you won't be getting any more orders. Your supervisor is going to help us delete every report you've ever submitted. What a shame, Lewis. You risked your life on the front lines, only for someone else to reap the rewards behind your back. If I were you, I'd stop being so loyal. Wouldn't it be better to join us?"He was trying to manipulate Lewis, planting doubt and betrayal like poison. As Aria listened, her fists clenched slowly. Nothing crushed a person's spirit more than destroying their belief in what they stood for. They had exposed Lewis on purpose—to break his faith in the uniform he wore.The masked clients settled back into their seats, returning to their arrogant ease. They were reminded that they were above the law within these walls. No one from the outside could enter the premises, and if someone did, they wouldn't leave intact.These people had powerful connections. To them, the undercover cop was a

    Aside from Aria, who had initially refused the food, everything had seemed normal to Stephanie. After all, Aria eventually accepted a drink, and nothing else appeared out of the ordinary.But the more Stephanie thought about it, the deeper her frown became. A sense of unease crept in, and she instinctively lowered her microphone, ready to rush to the basement to check things for herself. Seeing her reaction, the wealthy clients began to panic.The woman in the fox mask stood up, clutching her bag tightly, and made for the exit. She feared she would actually be arrested if she stayed any longer. She had no intention of ending up in jail just for attending an auction, especially one like this. Most importantly, she couldn't afford to have her reputation tarnished.Like her, the rest of the crowd shared the same instinct—flee.Meanwhile, Aria narrowed her eyes as she subdued a bodyguard with one hand.

    When Sasha heard the man mention the rare gem, her eyes narrowed slightly. Very few people knew about it. Only Dave and a handful of higher-ups were aware. She immediately wondered who had leaked the news.But the man's words had already ignited excitement across the auction floor."What? A rare gem?""It's been ages since we've seen one! I can't believe there's actually one today!"To these people, a rare gem referred to someone whose body was considered exceptionally valuable, blessed with natural fortune, vitality, and unmatched physical condition. It was believed that such a person couldn't fully harness the luck they were born with. But if someone else could acquire it...Not only could they preserve their youth and beauty, but their careers and fortunes could be transformed. The idea sent a thrill through the room, and their greed quickly became impossible to hide.Sasha realized the situation was slipping out of her control.
