Justin furrowed as he bent down to pick up the spoon, humbling, "I only brought one spoon today."

Seraphina's eyes widened in disbelief, her beautiful gare filled with shock.

"Justin, what did you just say?"

No wonder this damned sense of familiarity!

In her subconscious, she had never connected this person with Wilson.

Yet the man in the photo was undeniably identical in shape and stature.

How could this be?

Seraphina's heart sank, dropping into the depths of the abyss, sinking endlessly.

She couldn't believe it, but the evidence lay right before her.

Her mind raced in a chaotic tangle.

Justin returned from another somewhere else with a spoon, having washed it clean.

He sighed.

"I can hardly believe it myself. I dug around for the truth after hearing the rumors. This news was first released by Frencette's entertainment media. Since I have a good relationship with their executives, I asked a few questions. This woman is targeting Wilson. Seraphina's eyes constricted sharply. "Why?"

"Why?"

Justin chuckled. "It's either after him or for his money what else could it be?"

His sister was truly naive!

But he had never held out much hope for Wilson.

After all, Wilson had spent years in New Town. His relationship with Seraphina had never reached the level of needing to investigate his background.

So, lacking knowledge of Wilson's past, Justin found nothing particularly strange about his past.

People who appeared refined on the surface often hid dark secrets beneath, especially in business and entertainment circles.

Wilson had approached Seraphina with ulterior motives. Luckily, she hadn't developed real feelings for him yet.

He had saved her, and they were grateful for that.

However, it didn't mean his family could ignore his dark history.

Chapter 497 Uneasy

Two separate matters-clear distinctions.

Yet Seraphina was clearly in shock, still trying to process everything.

He walked over and flicked her forehead gently.

"But this situation is fishy. There are way too many similar scandals in Ascotia. No tabloid news spreads this fiercely overnight, especially since our main character isn't a particularly famous person. Someone must be stirring the pot behind the scenes." To put it into perspective, the last scandal that gained such attention had been about Seraphina and Orion.

They two naturally attracted attention.

Seraphina picked up her iPad and continued reading.

Half of it was true, half was false.

Based on what she knew about Wilson, she couldn't guarantee everything written was false.

Yet she had always been inclined to believe what Wilson had told her was true.

Now, that woman online was constantly exposing Wilson's secrets, as if trying to pull him down from his status and drive him out of Ascotia.

"Justin, can you...

Before she could finish, Justin already understood her intent. His smile faded slightly.

"You want me to suppress the comments and retract the news?"

Seraphina pressed her lips together and said, "No matter how much it costs, it has to come down. The internet isn't a lawless zone. They can't just say a few things out of thin air and make them real."

"You don't believe that woman's accusation? But I think at least half of it is true. Look at Dani. He's about the same age as this woman and is pursuing you with such intensity."

Isn't he just as obsessively devoted as that woman described?

Wilson might indeed be a hypocrite behind the scenes.

Seraphina dropped her gaze. Her expression finally returned to calm composure.

She tugged at the corner of her lips, a cold smile playing on her face.

"Whether it's true or not isn't a matter of belief. But Justin, he saved my life. And when the Giant Group's project ran into trouble, it was also him who helped swirl the public opinion at Klad Tech, allowing things to proceed so smoothly. Could we just stand by and watch?" They couldn't pretend not to see.

Seraphina was probably Wilson's only friend in the country.

He was alone and had to rely on himself to prove his innocence

Even if it was true, looking at it another way, they were still friends.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Justin sighed, understanding Seraphina's intention.

"Alright, I'll pull some strings to suppress the public opinion and then release sensational news about a celebrity. That should be enough to shift the spotlight."

Seraphina chuckled and said, "Yeah, your influence is not just for show."

Justin scoffed lightly. "Stop buttering me up!"

He took his phone and walked out, preparing to call the media platform.

Seraphina sat there in silence for a moment, her thoughts swirling.

After a while, she picked up her phone, opened it, then closed it again. Inside, she felt calmness.

She didn't know what she was expecting, but thankfully, nothing had happened yet.

An hour later, the online buzz suddenly erupted.

News broke about a famous actress who had slept with a director and only to be caught by the director's wife. The scandal skyrocketing to the top of the trending list. Meanwhile, the scandal regarding Wraith Street's sc*undrel quietly vanished from the trending list.
