    There are many distasteful words being used and behind these posts are professional trolls fueling the fire. Regr people can’t discern the truth on their own.


    Moreover, these posts discuss two matters. The first was suggesting that the reason WY asked Kay Lee to endorse their game after being exposed was because Kay Lee had slept with Finn Lewis. The second was stating that Kay Lee was now being financially supported by Finn Lewis. They even imed that they were staying in the same residentialpound, in adjacent vis. Lewis was currently residing in one of them, and the vi next to his belonged to Kay Lee.


    This news involves Kay Lee, who has been making headlines recently. Despite not having taken on any new movie or TV roles ofte, the news about her being maintained by a man has spread far and wide. Nearly everyizen in the country is aware of that, given its proliferation on the inte. Another person implicated in the post is Finn Lewis. While many wouldn’t recognize him if they saw him, because few have actually seen his photo, the name of the world’s wealthiest man, Finn Lewis, will ring a bell to many.


    Paradigmatically, the world’s wealthiest people have always been foreigners. It is quite remarkable to have someone from me Nation amongst them, hence coverage is very high. Just take Charlie Lee, who is merely the wealthiest amongst the Chinese-speaking popce, his name is known to almost every household. So one can only imagine the fame of the wealthiest man in the world, Finn Lewis. Now that Finn Lewis and Kay Lee have been linked together, this news has instantly be hot property. In a short span of time, it has already dominated major online news headlines.


    Since this news is not really a positive one, mostizens were busy hurling insults at Kay Lee, calling her shameless and brazen. There were hardly any criticisms for Lewis.<div>


    Due to Finn Lewis’s vi address being exposed, by nighttime, no fewer than several dozens of reporters, from various major media outlets, had congregated downstairs.


    Finn Lewis immediately called Kay Lee upon hearing the news. Responding to his call, Kay Lee produced a faint smile and reassured him. “It’s fine, I’m alright. I’ve been through situations like this a handful of times. Besides, so long as nothing happens subsequently, the media will disperse naturally. They won’t be able to obtain anything conclusively damaging. Although you, you bought a house right next to mine without telling me first.”


    While saying this, Kay Lee spoke in a cajoling manner. Hearing Kay’s casual tone of voice, Finn sighed in relief: “As long as you’re fine. Don’t worry, I’ll handle the matter. Speaking about the property, if I said that I didn’t know it was beside yours, would you believe me?”


    “What do you think?” Kay Lee responded somewhat helplessly. Given the numerous vi districts andpounds across Celeston, not to mention the number of rooftop vis within their ownpound, she found it hard to believe that Finn had inadvertently chosen the one beside hers.


    “Alright, you better go and deal with your stuff. I’m fine.” Before Finn could even respond to her, Kay once again reassured him.


    “Alright then, I should go manage this situation.” Finn Lewis nodded in agreement.


    After hanging up the phone with Finn Lewis, Sarah Wood, who was by her side, impulsively gave Kay Lee a hug, “Are you nuts? You should have immediately told that jerk toe over here. This whole mess waspletely his doing.”


    “It’s okay, I’m just feeling a little unwell. I’ll be fine after a bit.” Kay Lee wasn’t as rxed and carefree as she appeared to be. Though she had been in the industry for a considerable amount of time, she had never experienced a scandal of this magnitude. The feeling of being criticized and condemned by countless media outlets was something she had not encountered before. Turning on the news, it felt like the whole world was reporting on this incident and everyone was criticizing her. The amount of pressure she was facing would be unbearable for most.


    When she first heard about the news, Kay Lee was utterly dumbfounded. If it wasn’t for Sarah Wood being by her side, she didn’t know what she would have done next. Fortunately, with Sarah’s counsel, Kay was able to hold herself together.


    “Young master, Miss Kay Lee isn’t asposed as you think she is.” Though Finn Lewis couldn’t see it from his end of the phone, Olivia Thatcher was able to gauge Kay Lee’s condition as there were two T1000s discreetly protecting her from the shadows.


    “I know.” Finn Lewis nodded his head solemnly. Even without Olivia’s confirmation, Finn could still guess that Kay Lee might be feeling overwhelmed. She had previously faced public disdain, but she still had some supporters on her side. Currently, almost the entire inte and media industries were denouncing her. Interestingly, there were fewer media outlets criticizing Finn. Clearly, these media outlets did not want to offend him. However, theymitted a misstep by underestimating the importance of Kay Lee in Finn’s heart.


    “Mr. Johnson is calling.” Olivia hinted again.<div>


    Finn picked up his own phone and answered it, “Hello? What’s happened?”


    “I got a call from our Culture Department. They said someone reported that our game has mature content and violent graphics. They said an inspection team will arrive soon, so we should cease all operations.” Yuri Johnson felt somewhat helpless. They had passed the initial inspection for Sky Under by leveraging rtionships. Now that the authorities were back for another inspection, it would be hard to justify whether Sky Under was indeed rule-breaking. The problem with cease-and-desist orders is, for games like Sky Under, even a single day off air could result in a loss of hundreds of millions.


    If the game were to be off the air for one month, the losses could amount to tens of billions.


    “In addition, there are plethora of media reporters surrounding ourpany.” The media may not know Finn’s address, or even if they do, they know they can’t dare to enter. They know that security for someone like Finn would be very high, so they think it’s better to just wait outside of hispany.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    “Tell all the media outlets that we will be holding a press conference,” Finn Lewis calmly said after a moment of silence. “In one hour. Amodate as many of them as you can and set up the location.”


    “Alright.” Yuri Johnson was taken aback. In general, matters like this are handled by establishing rtionships privately and dealing with the rumors on the inte by pulling some strings. As people slowly lose interest, these rumors will naturally dissipate. The move to immediately hold a press conference was quite unusual. Regardless of the intent to rify or exin the situation, online trolls will always find new ways to criticize.


    After hanging up, Finn Lewis stood up and fixed his clothes before swiftly heading outside. Jim Lewis quickly followed behind him. The thirty or so journalists below didn’t dare to intrude on Finn’s premises. They weren’t foolish enough to offend someone like Finn Lewis.


    However, when Finn Lewis himself made an appearance, the journalists swarmed around him immediately. “Mr. Lewis, can you please confirm whether the circting rumors about you financially maintaining Kay Lee are true?”
