The effect of the scandal had worsened to a point where it had become terrifying. Insults, curses, and snide remarks filled the Internet, all of them directed at Austin. The scourge of public outrage overwhelmed him, as though the world was collapsing on top of him, and he had nowhere to run or to turn to. The netizens scoured every bit of information they could about him. Everything about Austin was now shared online. The only thing they missed was his identity as the Campbell family's successor. There was a record of his lifetime achievements, the horrible memory of his married life in the past, and how he suddenly rose to power. They even dug out the part about his three-year marriage with Nancy. Some details about the Welch family and Harvey were all shared online. In the eyes of the public, Austin had become a "wolf in sheep's skin". The people's rage couldn't be put out. No one cared if the scandal was true or not. Under the influence of those with ill intentions an

The video call with Vincent and Jennie lasted for quite some time. With Jennie's help—and thanks to professionalism and experience in the entertainment industry, they managed to form an outline of a plan. Vincent, who'd always been an uncanny person, contributed greatly to the plan too. Austin believed that they'd finally see some progress after being shrouded in the shadows of public outrage for so long. "Fiona, ruining my reputation was fine, but you tried to ruin my marriage," Austin seethed, his eyes sharp and his voice dangerously low as he muttered to himself. "You hurt Cecily. I'll make sure you pay for it!" Just then, he heard Ezra call out from behind him. "Austin!" Austin turned around to see Ezra staring intently at the phone in his hands, his face flushed, and his eyes wide with shock. "Log in to Twitter and see for yourself!" It was not every day you get to see Ezra in such a disquieted state. He added, "Mrs. Campbell tried her best to help you!" His words se

"Prestige and fame is nothing compared to toppling the head of the Campbell family!" Fiona hissed. "It's been three days… You must be pulling your hair out to find a way to settle this, aren't you, Austin? The power of the public will drag you into the depths of hell!" Although she didn't leave the hotel at all, Fiona always kept herself updated about the scandal. To be honest, the only form of entertainment she had for the past three days was watching things worsen. The situation was so terrible that no one could ever have the power to stop it now. Out of habit, Fiona tapped Twitter open on her phone. Noticing that the trending topic had changed, her eyes widened in silent fury as a shadow swept across her eyes. "Dammit! Cecily must be crazy! What the heck was she thinking?" she seethed. "Austin cheated on her! Why did she still have his back?" Fiona tapped the title, and the longer she scrolled, the angrier she became. A chilling coldness emanated from her, and a corner of

"Hello?" The employee repeated the word several times to get Fiona's attention but to no avail. She simply ignored him. After a moment's silence, Fiona's facial features contorted in fury and disdain. No one would believe that a pretty face like hers could turn so sour and ugly. "Fuck off, you useless piece of shit! Fuck off!" Screaming, Fiona ruffled her long hair out of frustration. Soon after that, she picked up her phone from the ground and refreshed the page. In just a few minutes, the scandal about her dark history shot through the ranks and gained the seventh spot.In the related articles were countless comments from the netizens. Some of them were shocked, while some were in utter disbelief. There were those who threw snide remarks too. The comments section was in total chaos. Fiona's face paled. She was doomed! She sat limply on the couch. The Coopers and the Clarks had cooperated. To make things worse, even the head of the family gave the orders that nothing sh

How could this happen? "Why? Why are you asking me to stop all of a sudden?" Fiona snapped. "Grandma, you hate that bastard the most! Everyone in the family hates him! He has no right to become the heir, much less the head of the family! A nobody like him can never lead our family!"She continued, "I'm taking revenge on him for you, Grandma! I'm doing it for the sake of our family!""I know you're a headstrong one, Fiona," Dorothy said. "Only the elite among the younger generation should compete for the position of the head of the family. Austin is a good-for-nothing!" Her voice was so cold and stern that Fiona was taken by surprise. The next instant, Dorothy sighed heavily. "Still, as a part of our family, you should consider our family's reputation," she said. "Our family is involved in the scandal now. You'll turn our family into the laughingstock of town if you don't stop what you're doing now." What? Shock gripped Fiona's heart like a thunderclap in the middle of the
