Revenge After Death

Chapter 182

Chapter 182

I quickly sifted through the online news and stumbled upon a dissenting voice.

It was a video with very few views that had spoken up for Steven.

In the video, the blogger followed Steven and recorded him, asserting that Steven was trying to rescue the stray cat rather than harm it.

However, the media misinterpreted Steven’s actions with their own distorted interpretation, and Steven couldn’t even defend himself because he struggled with

communication.

Obviously, someone had deliberately suppressed the visibility of this post, resulting in its low traffic. And low traffic meant fewer people would learn the truth.

The blogger who posted the video had also only published this one post.

I frowned and went to look for Ewan.

If the Ford family planned to suppress the negative publicity surrounding the Ford Group by instigating public opinion about Steven’s mental illness and cat abuse incident, then we had to be ready for it.

“Ewan, find this blogger for me as soon as possible. I want the complete video he’s holding.” I pinned my hopes on this blogger, hoping he possessed a complete version of the video that could prove Steven’s innocence.

In retrospect, if I had thought this through, I would have realized that the news was fake and that I had misunderstood Steven.

The fact that those stray dogs obeyed Steven’s commands to bite people indicated that Steven treated them well. So, he couldn’t have been abusing animals..

Nevertheless, I needed actual proof now.

While Ewan sent someone to look for the blogger, I sat on the couch and scrolled through the posts, hoping to find more evidence.

However, the Ford family was quick to act.

As the news of Michael’s intentional assault gained increasing attention, reports about Steven, the president of the Lincoln Group, being accused of past animal abuse also went viral.

Chapter 82

The comments from ignorant netizens immediately flooded in.

“The homeless teenage boy who abused the cat is now the president of the Lincoln

Group?

“Is the Lincoln Group out of its mind? They actually chose a homeless guy to be their president?”

“The Lincoln Group might as well pick me as their president. These suckers are going bankrupt soon!”

Not surprisingly, the netizens couldn’t wait to see how the mighty had fallen.

Their attacks and insults impacted the Lincoln Group in no time.

The Lincoln Group’s PR swiftly issued a statement, saying, “We, at The Lincoln Group, will thoroughly investigate this matter and provide everyone with an explanation.”

Then, calls from the executives of the Lincoln Group started pouring into the Lincoln family.

Ewan calmly answered the calls one after another despite each call being accompanied by scolding and cursing.

I bit my finger. I knew that I wouldn’t have a moment of peace that night.

Should the controversy continue to escalate, Martin’s people would undoubtedly show up the next morning to pressure Steven to resign in response to the accusations. They would also force him to relinquish his shares and leave the Lincoln Group.

Suddenly, my phone buzzed.

It was a call from Aunty Lois.

“Ms. Larson, have you thought it over yet? Are you ready to settle it in private now?” Aunty Lois asked, assuming that I would compromise.

I glanced at the room upstairs and firmly refused her, saying. “Never.” I’d rather go down swinging than compromise.

Aunty Lois hung up the phone without saying a word.

Perhaps she thought it was childish of me. But I had my pride to maintain, so I couldn’t

care less.

‘Mrs. Lincoln, we’ve gotten in touch with the blogger. He has the complete video, but

Chapter 182

since he’s an independent content creator, he requested exposure and support in exchange for releasing the video.”

I nodded. “He can be the first to release the video. We’ll help him increase visibility.”

Ewan nodded in agreement.

Soon, the whole raw truth went viral. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

The video revealed that someone was abusing the kitten, but Steven drove the abuser away. Then, he carefully took the injured kitten and rushed it to the nearby vet.

3/3

However, several vets had turned him away. And this resulted in him having to helplessly

watch as the kitten took its last breath in his hands.

Then, the video showed Steven kneeling on the ground, overwhelmed by the feelings of loss, despair, and fear…

My heart tightened as I watched the video.

Then, I left this matter to Ewan and went to see Steven.

I knocked on the door, but he didn’t answer.

“Steve? I’m sorry…” I said softly outside the door, “I was wrong about you, Steve.”

The door opened.

Steven stood in the dimly lit room and said to me with eyes glittering with expectation, ” Then sleep with me, Stephie.”

I was startled by his words.

Then, Steve reached his hand out to me and said with reddened eyes, “Stephie, hug me,

pamper

Suddenly, my phone buzzed.

It was Zion.

“Stephanie! Michael’s mother was hit by a car on her way to the police station! She’s still in the ER, and the person who hit her… claims it was Steven who ordered it.”

Stunned by the sudden news, I instinctively glanced at Steven.
