    Trantor:549690339


    Sebastian Thompson had been monitoring real-time online movements, finding out that Daniel Marshall had returned earlier than expected, and was not in M country at all. They’d been tricked. Sebastian frowned tightly, looking solemn.


    Sebastian checked his phone several times, but there were no calls or messages from Geoffrey Gullington. He had no idea what was happening in Cross City.<div>


    He had originally nned to take advantage of Daniel’s absence from the country and deal with that bitch Olivia Jenkins once and for all. He hadn’t expected to be yed by Daniel.


    Sebastian Thompson did not get a report from Geoffrey Gullington, but instead received a rification from Benjamin Davis.


    Benjamin posted a photo of a sunrise at sea and added a geotag, proving that he had been out fishing on a boatst night, living another life, and had not had a secret rendezvous with Olivia Jenkins.


    Benjamin made it clear that the alleged affair circting online was a nderous lie. In fact, Olivia’s secretary had also been at their table.


    Benjamin even invited the restaurant staff to confirm that he was never alone with Olivia. Every time they met, Olivia’s secretary was present, and they were in public ces.


    Benjamin also dered that if Olivia decided to bring awsuit against those spreading rumors, he would fully cooperate.


    Sebastian also saw that online users collectively condemned the renowned paparazzi who had spread the rumors. They all chanted for the paparazzi to get out and stop humiliating themselves.


    Inte users also strongly supported Olivia in suing those who spread lies. They must not be tolerated.


    The n had failed. Sebastian was both angry and annoyed; his face was terribly gloomy.


    Suddenly, new news popped up on his social media. It startled Sebastian; his heart tightened involuntarily, a sense of dread surging toward him.


    Feigning calm, Sebastian clicked on thetest update.<div>


    That bastard Geoffrey had betrayed him. In the video, all the facts had been exposed. This was terrible!


    Sebastian’s anger reached its peak. His bulging eyes seemed ready to pop out of his head.


    Be Thompson’s trembling hand finally dialed her brother’s number.


    As soon as the call connected, Be anxiously asked, “Is what Geoffrey said all true? Sebastian, what on earth did you do?”


    Sighing, Sebastian helplessly said, “Sis, I just wanted to help you and Matthew. Despite my careful nning, I was outsmarted by Daniel. He returned earlier. Otherwise, everything would have gone smoothly, and we could have gotten rid of that bitch.”


    Be was so angry she stomped her foot. She was so upset she wanted to cry, “You are so foolish! The old man will surely investigate. If he finds out it was all your doing, the Thompson Family will be finished. You’ve helped that bitch and Daniel to consolidate the Marshall Family’s position. Can’t you keep still for a moment? I’ve told you not to rush, didn’t you hear?”


    Sebastian’s face was extremely ugly and twisted, “Sis, I’m sorry!”


    No matter how angry or how much she scolded her brother, it wouldn’t help. The only thing they could do now was to minimize the damage.


    After calming down, Be said, “Get ready. I’ll go with you to see the old man. We have to admit what we did to regain some face. Considering familial rtionships, the old man won’t be too harsh.”


    “Sis, I’ll take full responsibility.”


    “Will the old man believe you? Your brother-inw must be furious too. You’ve ruined all the good feelings that Matthew and I have struggled to regain.”<div>


    “Sis, I was wrong!”


    “Enough, hurry up to Beverly Hills.”


    In the study, Michael Marshall sat silently in front of the old man, not uttering a word.


    The old man showed a contemptuous sneer and said dismissively, “Trouble is brewing, the Thompson Family is done for, you are in charge.”
