Inspector Brown publicly humiliated himself by soiling his pants after Yuan subtly released his killing intent. Patricia and Emma left the office, disgusted. Later, Patricia's attorney, Jessica, arrived with crucial evidence from the mall. They presented the evidence to Chief Taylor, clearing Yuan's name and allowing them to file a counterclaim against Luna Lane for defamation. Yuan and Emma returned home, recounting the events, which led to a discussion about their methods of dealing with enemies.

A video went viral on the internet at midnight, showing the brief encounter between Yuan and Luna Lane—the same Luna Lane who had claimed on the internet that Yuan had harassed and molested her in public.

Within an hour of being uploaded, the video had gained thousands of viewers, showing everyone a completely different side of the story—one that was the exact opposite of what Luna Lane had claimed.

The video showed exactly what had happened at the shopping mall, revealing the truth about the incident that Luna Lane had described as harassment and molestation.

The video showed that the person Luna Lane had accused was simply minding his own business when she approached him, which was exactly the opposite of her claim in the social media post.

Furthermore, Yuan simply walked away after a polite exchange. He didn’t even look at her strangely, much less harass or molest her.

Then, the video showed how Luna Lane began recording herself while pretending to be the victim, tearing her own clothes and smudging her own makeup before claiming that Yuan had molested her.

[@justmilo: What the fu*k! So it was all fake?!]

[@itsdanny: Unbelievable! To think she was faking it... So shameless!]

[@matt_irl: She went really far. How could she frame an innocent man like that?? Women these days are misusing women’s safety rights!]

[@jasonhere: She framed an innocent man! If this video hadn’t been leaked, his life would have been destroyed! I’m unfollowing her right now!]

[@oliver_x: Agreed! I don’t want to follow someone so heinous! She framed someone today, and it could be us someday.]

Thousands of people posted comments in the video’s comment section, all changing their views on the incident after witnessing the truth.

People were outraged at Luna Lane. Tens of thousands of followers on her social media accounts had already unfollowed her, and the number continued to drop with every passing moment.

In a luxurious apartment, Luna Lane was lying on her bed with only a towel covering her body as she chatted on a video call.

"Young Master Marcus, I’m really thankful to you for giving that bastard a lesson he will never forget for the rest of his life," she said while looking at the phone, a seductive smile on her face.

[It was a small matter. No need to thank me for it. I’ve already arranged for my people to be in the prison. They’ll make sure he suffers for the rest of his life inside those walls, begging for death every day.] Young Master Marcus spoke from the other end.

[The inspector investigating your case is one of my people. He will handle everything according to my plan.]

"Thanks a lot, Young Master Marcus! You’re really awesome!" Luna Lane said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

’Hmph! You shouldn’t have refused to take a picture with me, making me lose face in front of everyone. Don’t blame me for being cruel. Blame yourself for that.’ She muttered inwardly, smiling viciously as she imagined Yuan begging for forgiveness behind bars.

Ting! Ting! Ting!

Suddenly, her phone was flooded with notifications, making her raise her eyebrows slightly.

Then, she received a call from one of her close friends. She stared at the number for a moment before answering the call.

[LUNA, YOU HAVE TO CHECK YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY!! YOUR FOLLOWER COUNT HAS GONE DOWN!!]

A scream came through the phone’s speaker, making her pull the phone away from her ear.

"What happened? Why are you shouting like that, Tina? And what social media are you talking about?" Luna asked with a puzzled look on her face.

[Check your social media and you’ll know. Girl, you’re in huge trouble right now.]

Beep! Beep!

The call ended immediately, leaving Luna Lane stunned, unable to comprehend what kind of trouble her friend was talking about.

She quickly opened her social media account and was immediately dumbfounded. There were thousands of comments where people had tagged her and called her a bitch.

She opened the video that people were tagging her in and was immediately shocked when she recognized the two people in the video.

’Why? Why is there a video of that bastard and me?! Who even uploaded this video?!’ she screamed inwardly, seemingly in disbelief.

Her expression immediately changed as she watched the video. It was footage from a security camera at the mall.

"Damn it! How did I forget about the security cameras installed in the mall?! Now I’m in deep trouble!" She immediately threw her phone away because she couldn’t bear to watch the video.

The phone hit the floor, and the screen cracked, the display going dark upon impact.

There were already tens of thousands of views on the video, and by now, almost everyone had watched it.

Everyone had learned the truth about the handsome man in the video, and her career was now on the verge of collapse.

Her follower count was constantly decreasing, and people were speaking out against her. The same people who had supported her before were now turning against her.

This shattered her completely. She had never imagined that this move of hers would backfire so quickly.

She collapsed onto the bed, her eyes now dull and lifeless. It was as though everything in her life had been destroyed.

"H-How did this happen? Didn’t Young Master Marcus say that he’d taken care of everything? Where did the video come from?" she muttered, staring at the ceiling of her room.

—

"Damn it! Who the fuck released this security footage?!" a handsome young man shouted as he stared at his phone screen.

The video of Luna Lane asking Yuan for a picture was playing on his phone, and his hands trembled as he watched the footage.

"Damn that bitch! She lied to me, and I fell for it!" He threw his phone as hard as he could in a fit of rage.

The phone shattered immediately, becoming almost unrecognizable. The display had been separated from the phone because the impact was too powerful.

"I send so much money to her, and this is how she repays me?! Fucking bitch!" he grumbled, his eyes bloodshot with rage as he clenched his fists tightly.

He had been trying his best to please Luna Lane and make her fall for him. Aside from a kiss, he hadn’t gotten anything else from her.

And he had already spent more than two hundred thousand dollars on her, enough money for someone to live comfortably for their entire life.

"I’ll make that bitch pay for this... I swear..." he muttered, his voice cold as a dangerous grin appeared on his face.

This young man was none other than Marcus, Luna Lane’s biggest supporter, who had spent thousands of dollars helping turn her into a celebrity.

Without his support, she would still be an ordinary content creator on social media. But he had changed her life, turning her into a major star.

"Alright. You’ve played your part. Now it’s my turn to play with you." He smirked.

He had already formed a plan in his mind to get Luna Lane into his bed.

"Now that I think about it, this is actually great for me... She is at her lowest point right now. She’ll definitely come begging me to save her... and when she comes, it will be my chance to get what I want."

"Whoever released this video did me a great favor... Without it, I wouldn’t have gotten such a great opportunity to sleep with such a gorgeous woman... Haha!" He laughed loudly, feeling excited at the thought of finally spending a night with the woman he had been pursuing for so long.

Meanwhile, Yuan was sitting in his room, with his mother sitting beside him on the bed, watching as he scrolled through something on his phone.

Just then, the video appeared on his phone, surprising both of them.

"She uploaded the video? Well, this will surely change people’s opinion of me. She really helped me a lot," Yuan mumbled in a low voice, a soft smile appearing on his face.

"Isn’t this footage from the mall? How did it appear on the internet?" Anna Grace asked as she gently wrapped her arms around his neck.

"It seems that Patricia uploaded the video. This is a great thing for us. It will help restore my public image," Yuan replied.

"Patricia did?" Anna Grace was surprised, and she immediately became even more fond of Patricia.

"She really is a great person. We barely knew each other, and she has already helped us so much."

"Indeed. She has helped us a lot. And I’ll repay this kindness to her. If she ever faces any problems, I’ll solve them for her," Yuan replied while nodding his head.

A moment later, Anna Grace looked at him with a smile and asked, "Have you found any clues about her?"

"No. I couldn’t find anything." Yuan shook his head and sighed. "It’s as though someone has deliberately wiped away anything related to her."

"Don’t worry. With our power, we will definitely find her someday." She pulled him into a hug and kissed him on the forehead.

Yuan nodded his head and hugged her back, resting his face against her chest.

"How about you take Emma and me on a date tomorrow?" she asked a moment later.

"A date?" Yuan asked, looking at her with a smile.

"Mmm. A date. Just the three of us and no one else," Anna Grace replied, nodding her head with a smile.

"Absolutely! Let’s go on a date tomorrow." Yuan nodded his head and kissed her on the lips before falling asleep in her arms.
