Ricardo nced at the TV showing news of a scandal involving th


    e Burke family at the mall and said indifferently, “Don’t bother with


    her


    “Understood.”


    Meanwhile, Sophie was in the car furiously working on her phone, making Adler, who saw her actions


    in the rearview mirror, ask, “Sophie, you’ve been busy since you got in the car. What are you working


    on?”


    Im publishing an article.”


    Sophie raised an eyebrow and said, “I need you guys to help me boost its visibility online.”


    “What article?”


    Jenna, always eager for some juicy news, immediately pulled out her phone. On Twitter, she found an


    anonymous post by Sophie detailing evidence of Reece’s car ident, directly implicating Nichole.


    With nine pictures providing undeniable proof, thement section was already buzzing with


    conspiracy theories.


    Soon, people were drawing connections from Sophie’s post, concluding that Nichole had targeted


    Reece due to her rivalry with Sophie and wanted to cut off Sophie’s financial avenues.


    Others pointed directly at the Cloude family, arguing that Ricardo’s deep affection for Nichole would


    make him capable of doing anything. This,bined with some business disputes, led to the


    conclusion that Ricardo was behind it.


    In short, both Ricardo and Nichole were at the top of the suspect list.


    Right as the buzz hit its peak, Sophie released an audio recording of Nichole hiring someone to cause


    the ident.


    She had asked Tricia to find the person who tampered with Reece’s car days ago. Fortunately, that


    person had the foresight to record the arrangement, preserving the evidence.


    Once all this was released online, it immediately caused a sensation


    Adler couldn’t help but be amazed. “You’ve already squeezed five billion from them, and now you’re


    going after them publicly? Wow, who would dare to settle with you privately after this?”


    “This wasn’t released in my name. What evidence is there that I did it?”


    Adler sighed, “You must’ve learned this from Colby, right? Sophie, you pick up all the bad tricks! Colby


    is notoriously sneaky. You’re led


    astray!”


    Colby kicked the driver’s seat lightly and said indifferently, “Shut up and drive.”


    Adler was put in his ce, but he couldn’t really argue. After all, he had to save some face for his good


    friend. But more importantly, he couldn’t beat Colby.

    Adler led the way with a mysterious air while Jenna whispered to Sophie, “Let me tell you, no matter


    what you seeter, you have to act very surprised.”


    “Is this Adler’s doing?”


    “Yeah.” Jenna whispered, “He loves a spectacle.”


    “Im prepared.”


    Sophie said so, but the moment Adler snapped his fingers, she was visibly shaken.


    Suddenly, the prelude to the Wedding March started ying in the banquet hall, with two spotlights


    focusing on her and Colby.


    Sophie couldn’t manage a smile, not even a semnce of one. She had a rigid smile stered on her


    face for what felt like ages.


    They were mel with a path lined with flowers and a floral arch, creating the setting of a wedding


    ceremony despite there being no one


    around.


    Jenna, forcing a smile, pped and said, “Sophie! Happy Birthday!”


    “Happy Birthday.”
