He had always been praised for his methods—capable, meticulous, and always in control of everything.
The most difficult person to deal with in the Jenkins family was the current family head, because no one could ever guess his emotions.
Carl truly wished those who had praised him could take a look at her instead.
Now, it was not him who was in control, but her who was in control of him. This feeling of being unable to command the ebb and flow of events was like someone scratching the palm of his hand with a cat's claw, pressing down on his chest as though something heavy was sitting there, creating an uncomfortable and dull sensation.
This caused him to involuntarily tighten his grip on the teacup in his hand, his dark eyes once again scanning the hall, landing on Elijah, who was completely absorbed in typing on the keyboard.
Due to the angle, he couldn’t see what he was typing, but Elijah didn’t
"It’s her!" "The vice principal has a wife and kids!" "How despicable!" Whispers and discussions erupted. Peter’s face darkened severely: "Cynthia, Aaron! What do you think this school is?" Aaron hurriedly pleaded: "Principal, she seduced me, please consider my position..." "Shut up!" Peter snapped. "If I hadn’t come, I wouldn’t have known how filthy this school is!" "I don’t want to hear your excuses. You two are no different from each other!" Cynthia shamelessly denied: "That’s not me!" She couldn’t admit it. If she did, her entire career would be over. After all, there was no video, and who could be certain just from the voice? "Oh?" Amelia slowly played with the purple jade pendant, her voice laced with doubt: "Are you sure, Cynthia? Is that really not you?" Soon, a second
"Yeah! This is totally a different matter!" "She really didn’t cheat? Let's see if she can get full marks on the retake!" At the end of the day, no one believed Amelia had the ability to score full marks. Mr. Hart tried to mediate: "Everyone, please calm down." "We can't calm down! If she scores full marks in math again after the retake, I’ll kneel and apologize to her!" Upon hearing this, Grandma Victoria got anxious and wanted to explain, but Amelia held her hand, her cold gaze sweeping the crowd. Her eyes locked onto a single person: "I’ll be waiting for your apology on your knees." "No problem!" The student responded, brimming with self-righteous confidence. "Old Dean, since Amelia has agreed, please arrange for the retake!" A small clique of students had been stirring up trouble, pressuring Mr. Hart to make a decision. Truth be told, Mr
Amelia was buying roasted sweet potatoes, scanning the QR code before handing them to Grandma Victoria. "It’s possible. After all, the world is full of strange things." "Then who do you think it was?" Grandma Victoria’s question was sharp. Amelia smiled, her lips curling. "I think it was ‘L’." "L?" Grandma Victoria was confused. "You mean the letter?" Amelia patiently explained, "It’s a code name. Every hacker has a nickname online to protect their identity in real life." Grandma Victoria stopped, a little surprised. "Amelia, how do you know so much about this?" "Three Seven told me," Amelia responded casually. "He even showed me L’s profile. L hacked into a bank system when he was just six years old. He’s a computer genius." Grandma Victoria mumbled, "Three Seven always finds these strange things to watch." "Yes, he does," Amelia
"Stop! Don’t send the letter!" Cynthia suddenly shouted, panicking. Sending the letter would expose her! Mary furrowed her brows. "Cynthia, what’s the matter? You scared me half to death!" "Sorry, Mrs. Milton," Cynthia quickly scanned through a webpage, her speech speeding up. "What about the compensation you promised me?" Mary scoffed. "I’ll transfer it to you." After receiving the money, Cynthia immediately bought a plane ticket. Perhaps because she was so scared of Amelia, she couldn’t hold back and said to Mary, "Mrs. Milton, your adopted daughter is a bit sinister, you should be careful." Mary wasn’t concerned. "Her? A poor girl with no power or influence? Do I need to be careful of her?" Cynthia opened her mouth, about to say something, when the education department suddenly arrived at the door! Mary heard the sudden hang-up on the phone
The call was from the water army company. The ringtone was urgent, like something important had happened. Mary wanted to answer, but Molly, who was eating shrimp, frowned and glanced at her. Fearing that Molly would be displeased, Mary immediately put her phone on silent. "Aunt Ashford, let me offer you a toast." Molly was satisfied with that and smiled as they clinked glasses. Mary didn’t answer the phone, but Oleg, on the other end of the line, was pulling his hair in frustration. The company was in chaos. "Manager, the other party has attacked our servers!" "We’ve had another batch of accounts banned!" Projects were falling apart one after another. The accounts they’d been building were time-consuming and costly, and now they were all gone. This was practically a death sentence for their company! Oleg’s c
At the banquet, Carl had been holding his phone for a long time, which caught the attention of Mr.Cromwell. After all, this young man never usually carried his phone around."Whose business is so important that you're paying so much attention?" Mr.Cromwell raised an eyebrow.Carl smiled lightly, "It's not business, it's a friend."Saying that, he swiped open the screen, and his eyes darkened suddenly. His long fingers moved slightly, and his usually indifferent expression showed a subtle change.Saint VIP Jenkins : "I sent it earlier."Soon, a reply came."I didn't receive it. It's probably because the account was frozen, and the message got stuck too. Can you send it again?"Send it again?Carl gently rubbed his phone, not responding immediately. He still remembered the heaviness he felt after sending the photo earlier.He looked over to one side of the chessboard, his gaze drifting off, lost in thought.Mr.Cromw
The issue with Amelia's live stream was being pushed by many.Amelia, being smart, had already figured out the game behind it. However, one side withdrew too quickly after adding fuel to the fire.The key player was still Mila Milton.After Amelia had hacked into the opponent’s network, she didn’t pull out but planted a virus in their main server.As she was idly checking the data, a message came through from the Crown Prince.Saint VIP Jenkins : "The stream was frozen?"Amelia replied with a simple "Mm."In the elevator, Carl’s eyes turned cold as he pressed the voice reply button. "What’s the reason?"He didn’t believe the problem lay with anyone in particular.Amelia didn’t care much. "Just a small matter."But Carl didn’t treat it lightly. He immediately took a screenshot and sent it to the platform’s manager.The manager was startled and hurriedly explain
【Just Stay Together: Host, explain what's going on!】In front of the screen, Oleg was typing furiously, trying to discredit Amelia as much as possible.Grandma Victoria saw the comments and reached out to hold the table, wanting to explain.Amelia, however, chuckled softly, meeting the camera’s gaze. “Today, we won’t be diagnosing anyone. We’ll do something else.”【Tomorrow Will Be Better: Host, stop changing the subject, explain!】Amelia spoke slowly, “Oleg, is it?”At the troll farm company, everyone who had been typing froze, their faces showing fear.“Manager, she…”Oleg’s hand also paused. His fingers instinctively hovered over the keyboard, as if asking, *How does she know it’s me?*Amelia flashed a slight smile. “I’m going to give a lesson to the trolls. Malicious defamation online is a serious crime. For severe cases, the punishm
The receptionist was acting strangely. It was as if they didn't even recognize her anymore. She had to ask for permission just to enter her own company. But overall, Mary was still in a good mood. The massive live stream traffic was almost hers, and soon, she’d be making money in her sleep. This small setback didn’t bother her. "You know, when I gave that girl face before, letting her leave and even giving her money—now that I think about it, I should’ve dealt with her like this. If she’d gone to jail, she’d have learned that without the Milton family, she’s nothing." Mary placed her coffee cup on the table, a smug look on her face. Jackson didn’t care about anything else. He only cared about one thing: "Did you go see the old lady? What did she say?" "What could she say? Of course, she’s going to try and save her," Mary said lazily,
Any article or video related to the girl, any reposts or clicks—Orange Entertainment made money. The more people discussed her, the more they hated her, the more money they made. It was an innocent disaster for the girl. Strawberry_d sued them for defamation, but it was all in vain. Tracking down the real identities of the internet trolls was unrealistic. Moreover, the law couldn’t punish the masses. There were so many people attacking her online. In the end, Strawberry_d broke down, saying, "Is it only when I’m dead that you’ll believe me?" Orange Entertainment took full advantage of the situation, spreading more rumors. "People who threaten to kill themselves never really do." "She’s just pretending to be unbearable." "Go ahead and die, let’s see." Such comments flooded the girl, drowning her i
"Of course," Director Noah’s eyes were sharp. he shuddered inside and confessed everything about their plans. He didn’t know the details about the online aspect, but the so-called "drug-induced coma" witness was indeed arranged by him. The plan was created by Mary. They intended to strike when the live stream of Harmony Clinic went live, at its peak viewership. They would arrest people on-site! In this way, regardless of whether Amelia was convicted in the end, her reputation as a medical practitioner would be tarnished forever! After all, this young girl came from a remote village. How could she possibly resist? Resistance would be seen as not cooperating with law enforcement. Once they took her into the station, how they dealt with Amelia would depend on her "attitude" or how well she could beg Mary to be satisfied. No matter the result, they could tear Ameli
"I’ve been through it, I understand. Once the case is filed, it’ll follow her for the rest of her life. She’s still young, and just starting her medical studies. She can’t have her future ruined like this."Mary was fully aware of this, which is why she was so confident.Grandma Victoria would definitely give her the live stream account.In Grandma Victoria’s heart, her granddaughter’s future was more important than anything else."Where do I sign?" Grandma Victoria’s voice was flat.Mary smiled brightly, guiding her: "Here, and here. After you sign, just leave your fingerprint.""How can you prove you can keep Amelia safe?" Grandma Victoria was cautious on this point. "Just mentioning the Crawford family? The Crawford family is in the capital, how can they interfere in LA ?"Mary cursed in her heart when she heard this. Grandma Victoria was difficult to handle."Of course, I’m not just mentionin
Grandma Victoria was extremely anxious.After all, three hours had already passed.She had no idea what was happening at the police station right now.She had tried asking around, but everyone said the situation was complicated.Mary was indeed clever, and she knew how to pick the perfect moment.She deliberately chose to act when Amelia wasn’t around—she considered that quiet little mute girl to be an inconvenience.Mary wasn’t in a hurry. She just casually scrolled on her phone in front of Grandma Victoria: "Mom, look at this—how many people online are criticizing you.""This matter with Amelia isn’t going to end so easily. Think about it carefully—she assaulted an officer!"Mary tapped on a comment: "Look at this one. It’s so accurate. A poor girl who rose to fame online dares to look down on the heroes of the people. Such streamers should all be arrested and sentenced to a heavy crime!"Grandm
Now, the middle-aged woman has already collapsed.When she took the money, she didn't say anything about Mr. Jones, or about any secretaries.She's uneducated and doesn't understand some of these terms.But she's not stupid!Anyone who can make Director Michael kowtow and beg to kneel down must be a big shot!How dare she speak up? She just wanted to leave while the gods were fighting.But unfortunately, this girl stood in a position that blocked her way, whether intentionally or unintentionally!The middle-aged woman looked at Amelia with reluctance!Amelia's words carried a hint of laughter: "The plaintiff is here, and I, the defendant, am also here. Mr. Johnson, Vice Mayor Jones, and Garrett to join in the trial together."Together?!Caleb feared this situation the most!If they really tried it together, nothing would be hidden anymore!Garrett glanced at him, with a natural aura of authority: "What does Vice Mayor Jones think?"He wanted to know how deep the waters of LA really were.Whether
“You can’t arrest him, no matter what!” Even the usually calm Vice Mayor Jones was riled up, his temper flaring.Michael was quite unique in this situation. He looked at Director Johnson and said, "Director Johnson, you know how diligent I usually am."At this moment, Caleb didn't want to hear any more of it. "Enough, Michael! Take him away!"He had originally planned to tidy up things before the new Secretary-General arrived, trying to cover up as much as he could and making sure everything was in order. He’d even given some tips here and there.As long as the water was deep enough, Garrett wouldn’t be able to find anything, and the new official wouldn't be able to make a big show.But now! This was practically giving the other side a reason to conduct a thorough investigation!He couldn’t let Michael talk any longer!The interrogators had already begun their actions. But just then, standing in the
In the circle, Mia had always maintained an image of a humble, orphaned girl.This was to emphasize her talent.Even when Jackson came looking for her, she claimed he was just a distant relative.Jackson had relied on this daughter to become a small contractor.Everyone’s impression of her stemmed from her perceived innocence and politeness, and she was seen as somewhat pitiful.As a young person new to the capital, she was in need of help, and some older people just wanted to assist her.However, no one expected that she was actually backed by the Crawford family!Now, it was clear that the Crawford family wanted to distance themselves from the Adler family ’s troubles and had cast her aside.Scholars exchanged glances, silently distancing themselves from her.Evelyn was still conducting investigations in LA . Adler had been very influential in the capital’s circles, but now he wasn’t even allowe
Garrett’s voice was cold: “Are you asking us to bribe you?”He knew LA was chaotic, but he never imagined that these people would dare to be so brazen!What had Vice Mayor Jones told him on the phone yesterday?He had claimed that LA had already solved these problems!Garrett clenched his fists. As far as he was concerned, everything here needed to be investigated!The experienced officer casually leaned back. “Accusing law enforcement of wrongdoing right off the bat? I don’t think we need to continue this interrogation!”With that, he put down his pen and stared at the three people.These three were difficult to handle. Even if they were interrogated together, there would be no result by nightfall.The officer’s gaze shifted, landing on Amelia. That was it.He didn’t believe that a young girl like her could withstand their methods of torture and forced confessions!
