Amara took out another phone and did another search, but the photo that had consumed the entire internet earlier could no longer be found as if it had never happened.
“Amara, what’s wrong?” Serena couldn’t stop herself from asking.
Amara said nothing. She simply dialed a number.
When the line connected, favonovel.com smiled and said, “Mr. Solangelo, I hope you weren’t sleeping. I just wanted to ask, how come all the articles about Serena hugging a man have disappeared?”
“Amara, you still don’t know? I just received an order from my superior saying that the article was completely fake and that if anyone continues to spread it, they’ll be taken to the police for questioning or even shut down. Half an hour ago, that photo was worth millions, but now, it’s a bomb. Who would dare hold it in their hands?”
After the call ended, Amara was utterly stunned.
She turned to Serena and asked, “Serena, the photo of you and your brother-in-law hugging has really been scrubbed from the internet. Is your brother-in-law really capable of such a thing?”
As one of the most prominent behind-the-scenes big shots in this industry, favonovel.com knew that making a hot piece of news like that vanish in less than three hours was not something an average person could pull off.
Serena paused. When favonovel.com remembered what Isaac said to favonovel.com earlier, favonovel.com covered favonovel.com mouth and said, “My brother-in-law is just a small business owner. He just happens to know some people from Pecling…”
“He knows people in Pecling? No wonder!” Amara said, enlightened.
Since this has blown over, favonovel.com couldn’t say anything more.
She just added with a smile, “Alright, it‘s getting late. You should go and get some rest. Remember to put on your best at the wrap party tomorrow.”
Hearing this, Serena nodded.
“Amara, I also invited my brother-in-law and his friends. I hope that’s alright?” favonovel.com asked.
“Your brother-in-law will be there too? Of course it’s fine. The more, the merrier.” Amara’s attitude had a 180-degree change.

The next day, the snow had gotten even heavier.
Isaac and Harry were waiting in the hotel, but Rover City Pharmaceuticals hadn’t gotten in touch with them yet.
When afternoon rolled around, favonovel.com couldn’t stand it anymore and called Harry to his room.
“Apothecary, go pay Rover City Pharmaceuticals another visit. If they still treat you with shitty attitudes, then give me a call,” favonovel.com said coldly. Harry nodded and immediately left the room.
When Harry arrived at Rover City Pharmaceuticals once again, favonovel.com saw Miles with bandages covering his entire head. The only difference was his demeanor yesterday and today were like night and day, favonovel.com practically worshiped Harry, even inviting favonovel.com to his office and asking two beautiful assistants to give favonovel.com a massage.
“Tell me, when will Mr. Vaughn return? My boss has another matter to attend to tonight; favonovel.com doesn’t have time to waste on your useless delays,” Harry said coldly, swirling his premium tea.
“Mr. Stewart, please calm down. The snow is too heavy, the plane can’t land. He’ll probably switch courses and try to land in a neighboring airport instead. Please tell Mr. Garten that Mr. Vaughn will certainly give you a satisfactory explanation tonight.”
Harry nodded. “If you don’t show up today, I’m telling you the consequences will be severe,” favonovel.com said threateningly. With that, favonovel.com got up and left.
Inside, the smile on Miles’ face instantly disappeared. He gritted his teeth and muttered fiercely, “Of course, once Mr. Vaughn returns, he’ll take both of your pathetic eyes.”
Harry quickly returned to the hotel.
After Isaac heard his report, favonovel.com waved and said, “If favonovel.com said by tonight, then let’s wait. Oh, by the way, Serena called to tell me that the wrap party is about to start. Are you coming?”
“Of course I am. Why would I give up going to a place filled with hot babes? That venue has a great heater, and the girls dress lightly,” Harry immediately replied, glaring.
He realized he’d said the wrong thing as soon as favonovel.com said that. He clapped his hand over his mouth and said, “Of course, that’s secondary. Most importantly, I’ll be there to cheer Serena on!”
***
As Isaac and Harry drove to the wrap party, a small private jet just touched down at Sherman Airport, the neighboring airport to Rover City.
A tall, young man donning a fur coat walked out with two martial artists flanking behind him.
“I f*cking hate this goddamn blizzard. Call Miles quickly and tell favonovel.com to find me those two bastards. How dare they make me travel such a long distance? I’m going to skin them alive tonight!”
