The Rivers family, smug in their wealth, thought they could manipulate the case at will. They treated the public’s outrage and the pressure of online opinion like nothing. Their arrogance knew no bounds.

After changing her clothes, Sloane went to meet with Lena.

As soon as she sat down, she pulled out a pill bottle and a folded piece of paper, placing them on the table in front of Lena. “Find someone for me. Tell her I want to make a deal.” Lena accepted both items and gave a solemn nod.

Later, Lena met with a well–known investigative journalist—a fiercely principled editor infamous for her relentless pursuit of truth and justice.

The two locked the door and spoke in private for a full hour.

Soon after, a bombshell exposé exploded across the internet: “Behind the Spotlight: Can Wealth and Power Silence Justice?”

The article ripped Boone’s crimes wide open. It laid bare the Rivers family’s attempts to manipulate the legal system and abuse their influence. Even more shocking, it included damning screenshots of key confidential evidence–proof that was impossible to ignore.

As soon as the article dropped, it hit the internet like a bomb tossed into a deep lake, sending shockwaves across the web. Views skyrocketed by the millions within hours.

The comment section was flooded with fury. Netizens demanded the Rivers family be punished and justice served for the victim. The public outcry was deafening.

At the same time, major public–interest law groups and social justice organizations jumped into the fray, forming alliances to support the victim and demand a full investigation into the Rivers family. They insisted the truth be brought to light.

In a flash, the Rivers family found themselves pinned beneath a relentless wave of public scrutiny. Every move they made was tracked and dissected. Doors slammed in their faces from every direction.

Ever since Boone’s crash became public, he’d had the feeling they were being watched–like some invisible force was predicting their every move and striking back with precision.

Even worse, they knew absolutely nothing about their enemy. It felt like being held at gunpoint in the dark with no idea where the shooter was hiding.

Adrian locked himself in his office for over an hour. When he finally emerged, his expression was so dark it could drip ink.

He went straight to the police station to see Boone.

“No! You can’t just leave me like this!” Boone panicked the moment he saw Adrian. He jumped up, clutching the bars with white knuckles. “You’re the best lawyer out there! You can get me out of this–right?!”

His voice was thick with terror and despair.

Adrian looked at his brother–completely unraveled. His heart ached, but what he felt most was powerlessness.

He opened his mouth, trying to explain. “You’ve gone too far this time. And I think someone is deliberately targeting us. They’re smart and calculated–we’re trapped at every turn.”

But Boone wasn’t listening. His bloodshot eyes locked on Adrian’s face like a wild animal. “I don’t care who it is! You have to fix this! I don’t want to go to prison! I can’t!”

The sheer desperation in his voice sent chills down Adrian’s spine.

“Quiet!” a guard barked,

Boone flinched and dropped back into his seat, wrapping his arms around his head, his whole body trembling. “I can’t stay here, big bro… I can’t take it anymore.”

Adrian’s heart clenched at the sight.

He walked over and gently patted Boone’s hand–then changed the subject.
