Nancy quietly instructed Ivan to pull the venue’s surveillance footage.

Anyone who dared smear and slander Lily here tonight–she would not spare a single one of them.

James’s eyes, cold as steel, locked onto the hired trolls in the crowd.

These people had lived too comfortably. They were begging for hardship.

And he would oblige.

“The woman in the video is not me.”

Now certain of the differences between herself and the woman in the clip, Lily calmly took the microphone.

“The man in the video may have his own… qualities, but he is not my type. The man I like is my boyfriend, James. How could I possibly settle for someone like him? And if you paid attention, you would have noticed–the woman in the video has a mole on the left side of her neck.”

With that, she swept her hair aside, baring her slender, flawless neck for all to see. “I do not.”

Every gaze in the hall immediately fell on her.

Indeed–clear as day, the woman in the video had a large mole on her neck, and another on

her arm.

But Lily’s fans had long noticed her skin was smooth and pale as jade. She had no such marks. And standing there now, under the lights, her neck was unblemished.

There was no way she was the woman in the video.

“The woman really isn’t Lily!”

“I knew it–our Lily would never do that!”

“Exactly! With a man like our brother–in–law looking that good, why would she look twice at some greasy creep?”

Cheers erupted, loud as fireworks.

Elsa and Marilyn’s faces turned the color of ash.

They had focused only on finding a woman with a similar profile. Neither had noticed the glaring difference in the body–those telltale moles.

Elsa refused to accept defeat. Catching the eyes of her paid trolls, she gestured sharply.

Keep pressing. Keep screaming that the woman was Lily.

She had poured too much effort, too much money into this scheme to let it collapse now.

But once Lily pointed out the differences, the audience’s eyes shifted.

They began noticing more and more dissimilarities–moles on the arm and leg, a flatter figure, none of the striking curves Lily possessed.

It was becoming obvious. The woman in the video was simply not her.

The trolls felt the shift too. Their bravado faltered as James’s dark gaze pinned them like insects.

They had already provoked him–whether they stayed silent or not, they had earned his wrath.

So why not push harder, drag Lily’s name into the dirt completely?

They opened their mouths-

“Boss, the people you asked for are here!”

Ashton’s voice rang out.

And then two figures were led onto the stage.

The entire hall gasped.

Winston. Jennic.

The man and woman from the video.

Elsa and Marilyn’s eyes bulged as if they might burst.

How had James tracked them down so quickly?

For a moment, panic clawed at both women’s throats.

But just as quickly, they composed themselves.

After all, they had never personally appeared in this scheme. Winston and Jennie could take the fall, while they slipped away untouched.

Yes, Lily had escaped again. But they could survive this defeat and plot anew.

James, though, was not fooled.

He had seen Marilyn’s fear, then her sudden calm.

A flicker of mockery glinted in his eyes.

And in the shadows at the back, his gaze found Elsa–heavily disguised, but impossible to hide from him.

He had already anticipated her moves, already stationed people to watch her.

He knew she had met with her father, Jimmy.

He knew Jimmy had found a woman with a passing resemblance to Lily, had hired a makeup influencer to craft the imitation.

He knew Jimmy had orchestrated Winston and Jennie’s video to destroy Lily completely.

And he knew–burning one tape meant nothing. Jimmy could always make another.

Better, then, to seize control at the source. To grip Winston and Jennie’s weak points so tightly they would never dare turn against him again.

The power

would be his.
