An online sensation swept across the nation.
The news about Sebastian and Eliza hit the headlines.
There were even tens of thousands of comments.
“Holy crap! Are they related by blood or not? They’re so lovey-dovey.”
“Come on! What’s with the intimacy? They’re family. Just stop making a fuss about it!”
“Are you blind? They’re just as intimate a couple.”
“If it’s real, what about the man’s wife? He and his sister colluded to distort the facts. They’re absolutely shameless and immoral. It’s so ignorant of that guy. I won’t buy any products from Corelynx Technologies anymore.”
“It’s so gross. That nasty adopted sister is so wicked. She deserved to get the beating.”
There were so many comments, but Vivienne didn’t reply to any of them. She just gave a few thumbs-up.
She turned off the phone and held the bell in her hand with a smile.
Finally, she could have a good sleep tonight.
At the CEO’s office in Corelynx Technologies.
Sebastian loosened his tie fretfully. He had paid one million to suppress the traffic on Vivienne’s social media account.
However, the money was returned.
The reason was that his requirement was too unreasonable.
Sebastian wasn’t born yesterday.
He knew that someone must have interfered and thought, “Did Vivienne call the police?” So, he asked Kelvin to look into this
matter.
However, it turned out that Vivienne didn’t call the police. Instead, it was Noah, the CEO’s assistant of the Halecroft Group, who got involved.
Halecroft Group was a top-tier enterprise, dominating not just nationally but globally-virtually monopolizing every industry
it entered.
The social media platform was also under the Halecroft Group.
Noah had a lot of things to deal with. Never would he care about the trending topics.

He’d get involved only because he didn’t get paid enough.
Noah was notorious for being hedonic and greedy.
He was the person-in-charge’s trusted subordinate of the Halecroft Group.
Never would he let go of any chance to gain profits.
Sebastian asked Kelvin to transfer 1.5 million dollars to Noah.
However, only half an hour later, the trending topic about him and Eliza was back at the top of the list.
le guessed that he had to offer more money.
Eliza ran out of the hospital, dragging her heavy feet toward Sebastian.
Sebastian, I don’t care about the negative comments online. I’ll make a post later, telling everyone that I was wrong and too bsessed with you. You merely pitied me… Just let them come at me, as long as you and Corelynx Technologies aren’t affected.’
Sebastian was so touched and even more determined to protect Eliza.
How can I possibly let you take the blame?
Rest assured. I can handle this.”
Sebastian, I’m sorry. Maybe I shouldn’t have come back from abroad.”
Eliza was still sick. The way she fought back tears only made her seem more pitiful.
Don’t be silly. Go home first. I’ll see you when things are settled.”
‘Hmm, I’ll wait for you.”
Eliza’s countenance changed as she wiped off her tears.
Vivienne would never make concessions.
As Vivienne woke up, she found the bell was no longer working.
Her account was blocked for 20 days.
Vivienne figured Sebastian must have pulled off some dirty trick.
No matter how she shook the bell, it wouldn’t work anyway.
She thought to herself, “Anyway, it’s been brewing for a long time. No one would believe Sebastian and Eliza are just brother
and sister.

“It’s actually way better than I imagined.”
Vivienne pretended not to care about that.
She lived her life as usual, freshening up, doing laundry, looking for a job in Northgale, and getting rejected.
Everything seemed normal.
Only she knew that she was on the verge of collapse.
She even meant to go abroad, but she didn’t want to give in so easily.
The one who caused her to lose all reputation hadn’t paid a price yet!
Vivienne buried her head in her knees as waves of sorrow washed over her.
Her father once told her, “Don’t be trapped in sorrow for too long, no matter what happens.”
he immediately adjusted her breath and washed her face in the bathroom.
After getting a call from the agent, she did her makeup and left the apartment in high spirits.
The agent kept speaking about the apartment.
This apartment is the best bargain in Northgale. It’s in the city center, facing the south with comprehensive facilities in the
eighborhood.”
Vivienne interrupted him, “What about its shortcomings?”
Oh, its shortcoming is also one of its advantages. There are too many facilities around the neighborhood.”
Vivienne turned around and realized that the agent wasn’t lying.
here was a bar, a hotel, a pharmacy, and clubs nearby.
traffic jam was inevitable at night. Night jogging wasn’t allowed. And it’d be too loud for sleeping.
While she was hesitating, Vivienne saw Frederick getting out of a club.
The top two buttons of his shirt were undone. There were dark circles under his eyes as if he had stayed up late.
He also spotted Vivienne. Stunned, he walked to her.
Vivienne, why are you here?”
Vivienne replied, “I’m here to see the apartment. What brought you here?”
‘Oh, Daniel had an operation to do last night, so he sent me here to play cards for him.”

Vivienne raised her brows. “Did you lose?”
Frederick took off his glasses with a bitter smile. “I’ve lost Hattie’s daycare fee.”
Vivienne wanted to laugh, but she held it back.
“I was thinking if it was because I gave you my good luck last night.”
Vivienne replied, “Are you trying to blackmail me?”
Frederick chuckled and stared at her for two seconds before putting on the glasses.
“How about playing cards?”
“Me?” Vivienne shook her head. She wasn’t in the mood for that.
Frederick persuaded, “When love fails, fortune smiles elsewhere.”
Vivienne curled her lips in dissatisfaction. “Do you have to rub it in?”
Frederick asked with a smile, “Will you do it or not?”
“Sure.” Vivienne strode inside with her purse.
It didn’t matter that love failed. She was determined to win some money then.
