Under.Zoe’s repeated urging. Tiffany had no choice but to rub her sleepy eyes and check the news updates for the day. As soon as she saw the headlines, she was stunned.
The entertainment news featured the most striking cover image clearly showing her and Keh. The photo was takenst <b>night </b>when they had <b>met</b>.
At that time, she had only gotten up to look at the box, not bothering to change clothes. She had thrown on a <b>wool </b>overcoat
ver her nightgown. Little did she know, someone had intentionally taken the photos from awkward angles.
As a result, their positions appeared particrly intimate, and two of the <b>photos </b>even made it seem like they were kissing.
The <b>news </b>article also had a bold, eye–catching headline: [Miss Kelley Meets with Ex–Fiance at Night! Suspicion of Unresolved Feelings, Is <b>Their </b>Old me Rekindled?]
Clicking on the headline, she found at least twenty photos taken from odd angles, with their poses looking increasingly intimate. Scrolling through thements, she was met with a wave of harsh insults and even <b>abusive </bnguage.

Tiffany scrolled through the article, realizing it was from three hours ago. The views had already surpassed 200 thousand times. As she continued browsing, her eyes were flooded with <b>more </b>and more articles confirming her alleged affair. It felt as though someone was deliberately orchestrating this smear campaign.
The call hadn’t ended, and Zoe anxiously pressed, “Tiffany! These are all fake, right?”
“No, Tiffany replied. “They were taken from an awkward angle on purpose. I did meet Kehst night, but we only exchanged a few <b>words</b>.”
“I understand,” Zoe said, rolling her sleeves and gearing up to confront the trolls. Since none of this was true, there was no reason to fear. She was ready to fight back all the way.
In no time, the news of Tiffany previously injuring Richard was brought up again. With many people deliberately stirring the pot, the inte was flooded with harsh criticism directed at her.
Tiffanyforted Zoe, saying, “Ignore it. Focus on your studies After hanging up, she paused momentarily before dialing Keh’s number.
At the Harper <b>family</b>, Keh was reading the news when Tiffany called. As one of the people involved, he had been falsely implicated like this, but he <b>was </b><b>not </b>angry for some reason.
Instead, when he saw a few photos in which the angles made it appear like he and Tiffany were kissing, he inexplicably saved them. Afterward, he <b>stared </b>at the photos lying quietly in his albion, feeling an inexplicable sense of guilt yet unable to delete
<b>them</b>.
In the end<b>, </b>he decided to set a password for his album. That way these photos would remain his secret, just for him.

Just after doing this. Tiffany’s call came through. Keh’s heart skipped a beat with guilt, but he still answered the phone calmly, “Hello, it’s <b>me</b><b>.” </b>
“Keh, have you seen the news?” Tiffany asked.
“What news?” Keh asked, sitting at the dining table. He tugged at his tight cor, his expression <b>uneasy</b>. At that momer he could only be <b>thankful </b><b>that </b>he wasn’t facing Tiffany <b>in </b>person <b>but </b><b>was </b><b>speaking </b>to her over the phone.
Tiffany replied, “It’s <b>about </b>the three minutes we spent togetherst night. Someone took photos of us, then deliberately manipted and twisted the story into this <b>news</b>,<b>“ </b>
Oh, <b>that</b><b>. </b>Some media make things up, writing nonsense. There’s no need to pay attention to it,” Keh said.
Tiffany paused briefly before saying directly. “What I mean is, I want you to step in and have all this news deleted.” The Harper family controlled most media and entertainment news shares<b>, </b>so she called <b>him </b>first.
Keh felt a bit disappointed. <b>“</b><b>You </b>called me specifically just for this?”
“Otherwise?” Tiffany frowned, feeling that Keh was acting strangely
“Alright, I got it. He <b>hung </b>up the phone. After a few moments of silence, he instructed his team to delete all the negative news and control the narrative to minimize the impact. His subordinates immediately carried out the task. It shouldn’t be long before all those news stories vanished.
For <b>some </b>reason, as he looked at the few photos quietly lying in his phone’s album, a trace of hesitation shed in Keh eyes.
He was reluctant to delete them.
Even though he knew it was all false, a deliberate fabrication by others, he couldn’t help but feel a strange longing. He wondered how nice <b>it </b>would be if such a dream became reality.
Keh lowered his gaze, absentmindedly stirring his coffee. Yet, <b>Lorenzo’s </b>words echoed in his mind. “Mr. Harper, aren’t you going to fight for yourself?”
Mr. Harper, don’t you even have the courage to fight for it? Mr. Harper.!
Each word was like <b>a </b>spell, pulling <b>him </b><b>into </b>an endless <b>abyss</b>, making him fall without realizing it, yet willing to plunge deeper. Suddenly, Keh stood up, his movements sharp <b>and </b>decisive. He strode swiftly toward the back of the manor.
A beam of light pierced through the secret room. Lorenzo looked up and saw Keh walking in with a tense expression. “Where’s the medicine?” he asked.
Lorenzo grinned<b>. </b>“It’s right here,” he said, extending his hands to offer the medicine bottle.
In just half <b>an </b>hour, all the news was suppressed. However, the damage had already been done, and the discussions and buzz had already started to spread. Trying to calm it down now wouldn’t be easy, and someizens would use them of guilt and trying to cover up the <b>truth</b>.
Tiffany never cared about the insults from others; as long as the news was gone, she couldn’t care less about what others thought. ‘How does Richard feel <b>about </b>all this?‘ she thought.
Tiffany thought for <b>a </b>moment and then decided to call Richard, The following day was their wedding day, so the night before, it <b>was </b><b>unusual </b>for Richard not to visit as <b>usual</b>, They were told that there were certain things they couldn’t do before the wedding right.
The phone rang longer than <b>usual</b>. Instead of the usual three seconds, it wasn’t until the ninth second that a deep, clear voice came through. “Yes?” The tone was cold, distant,

Tiffany felt unease, unsure if the baseless rumors had upset him. She cautiously asked, “Richard, are you angry?”
“<b>What </b>do you think? Richard’s voice grew even colder.
Tiffany replied with some innocence, “But <b>that’s </b>all false! I’ve never done anything wrong to you!”
