Holly Houston always thought there was still a chance to salvage the situation.
As long as the video could completely disappear from the internet before others saw it, she could pretend it never happened.
Especially in front of her fiancé and her grandfather.
But damn it, those big-name bloggers she paid handsomely told her, "Miss Houston, we don’t want to offend you, but we’ve been unable to log into our accounts, and we weren’t the ones who posted the video, there’s no way to delete it."
"Impossible, the accounts are yours, how could you not be able to log in?"
"It’s true. If you don’t believe me, look..."
One of the big-name bloggers tried to log into their account in front of Holly, but the page simply turned into a blank page.
"Mine is the same way, it’s just a blank page when logging in."
Another blogger said, "I suspect there might be a hacker controlling things from behind the scenes."
Her words enlightened Holly, as she quickly got in contact with the hacker who always sent her threatening texts before.
[Why did you still expose the video? Didn’t I already pay you?]
The hacker’s reply nearly sent Holly reeling.
[I only said pay the money, I never said that after you paid I wouldn’t expose the video.]
Holly trembled with anger.
[How can you be so untrustworthy?]
[Trust a hacker? Are you out of your mind!]
Holly was utterly speechless, not knowing what to say.
At this moment, her phone rang again.
It was a call from her grandfather!
What should she do now?
Just seeing those digits made Holly’s legs weak.
But she also knew that now that it had happened, hiding was not a solution.
The only plan was to handle the situation.
Her grandfather had worked his way to the position of station manager at Westmarch Television; his connections and abilities were certainly better than hers.
He was the only one who could help her with this.
So, despite her fear, Holly answered Old Master Houston’s call and returned to the Houston Family Estate as per his request. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on Nove1Fire.net
What she didn’t expect was that her fiancé, Gregory Gibbons, and his parents were also at the estate.
In addition to them, there were her parents, uncles, and aunts.
Everyone looked at her with anger on their faces.
Particularly her fiancé’s family, who looked ready to strangle her on the spot.
But before the video was exposed, weren’t these same people flattering her and cozying up to her?
Because she made "Competition Dance" the top-rated variety show in the country, not only giving them a prestigious association but also opening up business opportunities for them.
Now, just because a scandal broke out, they looked at her like she was finished, wishing for her downfall?
The humiliation today, she would remember.
And she would surely pay it back double in the future!
While Holly was furious at their gaze, Gregory’s mother spoke up first.
"Old Master Houston, now that Holly is back, please handle this matter properly."
Old Master Houston nodded; with such a big incident, his family indeed owed people an explanation.
But his affection still allowed him to give his granddaughter one last chance. "Holly, concerning the video, is there anything you want to say?"
"I..." Holly, on her way back, planned to push the issue of the video onto being edited.
Only by doing so could she completely dissociate herself from that dirty relationship.
However, just as she opened her mouth, Gregory’s mother suddenly said, "No need to claim it was deliberately edited, nor that you’re being slandered. Before I came, I already had experts verify that there was no editing or manipulation of the video."
Gregory’s mother’s words completely blocked what Holly was about to say.
