Chapter 180 Unable to Help. Just after hanging up, the phone rang again relentlessly. Filled with disgust and frustration, Simon answered the call. “Hello?” Holly’s panicked voice came through the other end. “Simon, what should I do? Those people are coming after me for the debt. They’re demanding that I repay the money! But where am I supposed to get that kind of money right now?” Simon frowned. “Who’s chasing you for debt?” Holly said in a frantic voice, “It’s all because of that little bitch Kate! She demanded that Ruth and I return the money we took from her. 540 thousand! How could we possibly come up with that? We had to borrow Simon’s eyes filled with even more disdain. He remained silent, listening to Holly continue, “Simon, can you transfer 70 thousand to me? I need to pay off these people. They said if I don’t repay them, they’ll make my life hell!” Holly started crying, overwhelmed by the thought of the debt collectors. She was on the verge of breaking down. Bang! There was a loud banging on the door, and Holly covered her mouth in terror. She sobbed quietly, her body trembling as she looked toward the door. Lowering her voice, she whispered to Simon, “Simon… they’re here. What should I do?” “Aunt Holly, there’s nothing I can do right now. You know that little bitch Kate kicked me out of Lowe Group. I don’t have any money either, so I really can’t help you,” Simon said coldly, hanging up immediately after.. Why should he clean up Ruth and Holly’s mess? Transfer 70 thousand to Holly? Not a chance! His funds were already running low, and every penny had to be spent wisely. His own company was on the verge of a financial crisis, there was no way he could spare any. money for Holly. When Holly called again, Simon felt fed up and blocked her number. Finally, some peace and quiet. Squinting slightly, Simon irritably flagged down a taxi and disappeared into the traffic. Meanwhile, at Silverwood Hospital. Since Eric woke up, Kate hadn’t gone back to Davison Group. She stayed at the hospital, keeping a close eye on Eric’s meals and accompanying him during his rehabilitation exercises.

Finished After another round of full–body checkups, Kate anxiously asked the doctor, “Doctor, how is Ric’s recovery going?” The doctor glanced at her and respectfully said, “Mr. Davison has always been in good health, and he’s recovering well so far. The impact on his brain wasn’t too severe. With some more rest, he should be fine. As for his arm and leg, it takes a hundred days to heal bones and tendons, so don’t rush it.” Kate finally breathed a sigh of relief. After seeing the doctor out, she sat by Eric’s bedside and began peeling an apple for him. Eric leaned back against the bed, watching Kate’s actions with unwavering tenderness in his eyes. “Ric, here!” Kate sliced a piece of apple and brought it to Eric’s mouth. Eric opened his mouth slightly, biting into the piece of apple and chewing it slowly, his gaze never leaving Kate. “Is it sweet?” Kate asked expectantly, quickly cutting the apple into smaller pieces. “Very sweet,” Eric nodded. He picked up a piece of apple and held it up to Kate’s mouth. Kate paused for a moment, then smiled and leaned down to bite the apple.

Chapter 179 You Can Leave Now The news of Eric waking up spread quickly. Davison Group’s stock prices stabilized and started rising again, and all the online rumors vanished, with no one daring to say another disparaging word. Eric’s recovery brought mixed reactions throughout Capital City. Some people were happy, while others were dismayed. Upon hearing that Eric was awake, George let out a long sigh of relief. The news caused many Davison Group employees to fall in line, with no one daring to cause any trouble. Even the companies that had been aggressively opposing Davison Group suddenly became quiet. Those who had been hesitant about collaborating with Davison Group quickly sought to make amends, but George turned down all their offers. As for Yves, he was so furious that he smashed a bottle of red wine. The shattered bottle spilled crimson liquid everywhere, and the broken glass nearly cut Simon, who stood obsequiously nearby. “Useless fool! You can’t even manage to knock out one woman? You’re a grown man and you can’t handle Kate?” Yves glared at Simon, seething with rage. Simon clenched his fists tightly, stammering in his defense, “It’s not that, Mr. Younghusband. Kate has too many bodyguards. I couldn’t find an opportunity. Yves tugged at his tie in frustration, taking a deep breath. His eyes were cold as he said, “That plant could only be used once. Eric has already figured out something was wrong. It will be difficult to fool him again. You couldn’t even manage to kidnap Kate properly. “Simon, tell me, why should I keep you around? What value do you have left for me?” Yves crossed his legs and glared at the groveling Simon, his voice dripping with menace. Simon gritted his teeth, feeling utterly humiliated. But he still tried to appease Yves, saying, “Mr. Younghusband, I do have value! Kate liked me for a long time before. She must still have some feelings for me! “And I also have some secrets about Kate.” Simon’s face twisted with reluctance as he handed Yves a USB drive. Yves raised an eyebrow. “Oh?” He took the USB drive from Simon nonchalantly, his eyes narrowing with increased displeasure. “If you had something like this, why are you only showing it to me now?” Of course, Simon had kept it for self–protection. If he exposed all his cards to Yves, he wouldn’t have any leverage left. 1/2 Chapter 179 You Can Leave Now. Simon forced an awkward smile and remained silent. Finished Yves plugged the USB drive into his computer and watched a video. His eyebrows lifted, and his expression grew amused. “I never expected Kate to have this side to her. I wonder how Eric will react if this gets out.” Simon smiled obsequiously. “Mr. Younghusband, your intelligence is unmatched. Eric is no match for you. Just tell me what to do, and I’ll arrange it immediately.” Yves scoffed at Simon’s sycophantic behavior. “No need.” Playing lazily with the USB drive, Yves’s smile widened. “Something this interesting shouldn’t be released too early… “And you can leave now.” tac Yves cast a cold glance at Simon and unceremoniously dismissed him. Feeling utterly humiliated, Simon left Yves’s villa. Standing by the roadside, he took a deep breath, clenching his fists tightly. Damn Yves. He’s not cooperating with me, he’s just using me as a tool! But what choice did he have? If he wanted to take down Kate and Eric, he had no option but to cling to Yves. Simon took a deep breath and was about to walk away when his phone rang in his pocket. Seeing the caller ID, he hung up in disgust.
Chapter 177 Kate, Don’t Cry Hearing George’s voice, Kate felt a warm sensation in her heart and smiled softly. “I’m fine,” she replied. George sighed in relief before seriously reminding her, “Madam, make sure to take your bodyguards with you wherever you go. Things might not be safe lately.” Kate nodded gently, “I understand.” After hanging up the phone, she found herself staring at Eric’s handsome face again.. Ric… when will you wake up? Kate’s fingers lightly traced over Eric’s face, her eyes reflecting a mix of sorrow and determination. No matter what she would wait. She would wait for him to wake up and recover. “Hmm?” Kate suddenly froze, unable to believe her eyes. She thought she had just seen Eric’s finger move. Kate felt a surge of excitement and kept her eyes fixed on Eric’s hand. Within two minutes, she saw his fingers move again. “Ric Kate called out in excitement, gently holding Eric’s hand. “Ric, can you hear my voice? Please, wake up!” Her sudden shout caught Lucas’s attention. He looked over to see Kate clutching Eric’s hand, repeatedly calling his name. Eric’s fingers moved a third time, and his vital signs began to fluctuate. “Ric, open your eyes and look at me, please?” Kate’s palms were sweating as she watched Eric with intense anticipation and excitement. Eric’s fingers twitched slightly, and then his eyelashes started to flutter. Kate forgot to breathe, staring unblinkingly at Eric. Finally, she saw Eric, who had been unconscious for two days, slowly open his eyes. Doctor! Doctor! Ric is awake!” Kate joyfully called out. Lucas immediately started pressing the call button frantically and shouting, “Where’s the doctor? Get over here!” Holding Eric’s hand tightly, Kate’s voice trembled with excitement. “Ric, how do you feel? Are you 1/2 Chapter 177 Kate, Don’t Cry in pain? Are you hungry? Do you want some water?” Eric’s eyes, initially unfocused, gradually fixed on Kate’s anxious face, reflecting her deep concern. He looked slightly bewildered. The doctor rushed in, and Kate stepped aside. After examining Eric, Kate asked anxiously, “Doctor, is he okay?” The doctor shook his head. “Waking up is a good start. He should keep improving.” Finished Kate finally exhaled in relief. She sat back down by Eric’s bed, watching him closely. “Ric, are you feeling any discomfort?” Eric stared at her, his mind a bit muddled. Seeing the tears in Kate’s eyes, he raised his hand to touch her face and, with some difficulty, said, “Kate, don’t cry.” Kate barely held back her tears, smiling. “Alright, I won’t cry.” She quickly fetched a cup of warm water and carefully used a cotton swab to moisten Eric’s dry lips, then fed him a few sips with a spoon. After his throat was moistened, Eric’s voice sounded less hoarse, and his foggy mind gradually cleared. “Boss!” Lucas called out excitedly to Eric. If he weren’t unable to get out of bed, he would have rushed to Eric’s side. “Mmm, Eric responded softly, his gaze never leaving Kate. He instinctively grasped the hem of her clothing. Kate looked at Eric intently and asked gently, “Ric, how are you feeling now?”
Chapter 176 Don’t Bully the Girl Simon hesitated for a moment, gritting his teeth, but then charged toward Kate again. It was rare to see her alone here, without any bodyguards. Even if they rushed over now, it would be too late. All he needed to do was knock Kate out and get her into the car…. A ruthless glint flashed in Simon’s eyes as he grabbed Kate’s arm and moved the ether–soaked. cloth toward her face. Smack! Kate struggled fiercely, slapping Simon hard across the face and stomping on his foot. As Simon yelped in pain, she took advantage of the moment to leap back several steps, evading his hand. She glared at him coldly, her eyes filled with caution. Simon hopped on one foot in pain, shocked by Kate’s quick reaction and strength. He hadn’t expected her to slap him, nearly knocking off his mask and sunglasses. Without hesitation, Kate turned and sprinted towards the Davison Group building. Some bystanders approached, pointing at Simon and saying, “What are you doing? Don’t bully the girl! Are you trying to harass her?” “Covering yourself up like that, you must be up to no good!” Simon watched Kate run away, gritting his teeth. He had no choice but to turn and flee as well. Kate’s bodyguards were almost there, and a group of nosy bystanders was closing in on him. He couldn’t afford to be caught by them! In the end, Simon fled in disgrace. Kate’s bodyguards surrounded her, bowing their heads in apology. “We’re sorry, Madam. It was our negligence!” Kate shook her head, a bit exasperated. “I just wanted to get some fresh air. I didn’t expect She hadn’t expected Simon to be watching her so closely, even planning to knock her out and take her away. Although she couldn’t see the attacker’s face clearly, Kate’s intuition told her it was Simon. Who else would target her at this time? Kate headed back to Silverwood Hospital, thinking about Simon the entire way. With Eric in a coma, she was now in charge of the Davison Group. If something happened to her, the recently stabilized situation at the company would spiral out of control, giving competitors an opening to strike.

She couldn’t even remember the companies or people who were Eric’s rivals. All she knew was that, before she died, Simon and his associates had used her to set a trap that ultimately led to Eric’s death. Kate rubbed her temples, trying to push these chaotic thoughts out of her mind. After taking a deep breath and composing herself, she entered Eric’s hospital room. Hendrick hadn’t arrived yet, as he was swamped with work at Lowe Group. However, he made it a point to check on Kate daily … Read More “Reborn of Kate Chapter 176” »
Chapter 175 Committing a Crime in Broad Daylight Under the setting sun, Simon, wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask, lurked near the Davison Group. He kept a furtive eye on the entrance while angrily biting into the bread he held. Damn Kate, he thought. If it weren’t for that little bitch breaking free and performing so brilliantly at the International Design Competition, humiliating Ruth and even exposing Ruth’s sabotage, he wouldn’t have to be lurking around the entrances of the Davison Group and Silverwood Hospital. Why couldn’t she just stay under their control? How did everything change so suddenly? Reflecting on recent events, Simon felt a surge of frustration and discomfort. He had lost too much, and it was all connected to Kate! Kate and Eric were like two mountains standing in his way. As long as they were around, Simon couldn’t rise to power. If there ever came a day when Kate and Eric fell into his hands, he would make sure to torment them thoroughly. They wouldn’t get off easily. As these thoughts ran through his mind, he took another fierce bite of the bread, chewing so hard that his face twisted into a grimace. Suddenly, he froze, a fiery glint flashing in his eyes. That little bitch Kate had finally emerged from the Davison Group building! Simon tossed the bread aside and headed straight toward Kate, a cloth appearing stealthily in his hand as he approached her. Kate didn’t notice Simon sneaking up behind her. She frowned slightly, glanced into the distance, and then looked down to send a message to her driver. Just as she lowered her head, she suddenly. shivered. In the reflection of her phone screen, she saw someone wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses, and a mask approaching her. The person’s right hand seemed to be holding a cloth. Kate immediately became alert, her body tensing as she used her phone to observe the person behind her. That person… was definitely targeting her! Pretending not to notice anything, Kate felt cold sweat trickling down her back. The person drew closer step by step, and when they were very close, they suddenly sped up and lunged at Kate. The person’s right hand aimed straight for Kate’s nose and mouth. Kate’s eyes flashed with determination, and she reacted swiftly. She sidestepped and ducked, evading the lunge, then quickly retreated to put distance between herself and the attacker. Simon hadn’t expected Kate to dodge. He gave her a cold stare before lunging at her again. The spot where Kate was standing had no surveillance cameras.

She eyed the man charging at her and, narrowing her eyes, called out coldly, “Simon?” She recognized his build and, especially, those eyes, which were just as revolting as Simon’s! Simon didn’t respond, continuing his aggressive advance toward her. Kate dodged his attack and decisively shouted, “Help! Someone’s attacking me!” Her voice was loud, even though it was dusk and not many people were around. Still, some were startled by her cry and looked her way. Simon’s eyes turned even colder. That little bitch had reacted so quickly and called for help!
Chapter 174 Plenty of Work Waiting for You Lucas remained silent, his grip on the blanket so tight that his fingertips had turned white. Kate softened her tone a bit. “The Davison Group won’t fall apart without you and Eric. Why can’t you trust the team more?” I understand your guilt and self–blame after everything that happened, but the priority now is to take care of your health. Have you considered the consequences? Your head was injured too. What if overworking damages your brain?” Lucas was suddenly at a loss for words. Seeing his stunned expression, Kate chuckled lightly, “Relax. Don’t put so much pressure on yourself. The Davison Group is still running smoothly. George is working like a bee, and I was with him yesterday to keep things steady. After finishing her story, Kate gently patted Lucas on the shoulder, Focus on your recovery. Once you’re healed, there will be plenty of work waiting for you.” Lucas blinked in surprise, then asked, “What do you mean?” A flicker of anger crossed Kate’s eyes before quickly subsiding. She looked at Lucas with a faint, enigmatic smile. “Do you think Eric will just let this go after such a setback?” Even if Eric wanted to, she wouldn’t allow it! She was determined to make those who hurt Eric pay and to uncover the real culprits behind it all. Realization dawned on Lucas, and he exclaimed. “Madam. I understand!” He grabbed the breakfast in front of him and started eating ravenously. Though his face was still pale, his eyes now shone with determination. He had been stuck in a rut. He needed to trust George, Kate, and the Davison Group. He had to recover quickly so he could get back to work, fighting for Eric and taking down anyon who sought to harm him. Seeing Lucas’s improved state, Kate finally relaxed a bit and sat down with Hendrick to eat breakfast. Hendrick had observed everything and looked at Kate with a mix of pride and concern. “Kate, you need to eat more. You’ve lost weight recently.” He handed her a bowl of porridge and a bun.

She couldn’t afford to fall ill during such a critical time. After breakfast, Kate habitually stayed by Eric’s side, talking to him. When the doctors told her there was no immediate hope of Eric waking up, she returned to the Davison Group. Hendrick drove her there and, after watching her enter the building, headed off to the Lowe Group. Both companies were in crisis, though the Lowe Group’s situation was slightly better than the Davison Group’s. Throughout the day, Kate absorbed as much of Eric’s knowledge and experience as she could. like a sponge. She also closely observed George as he managed the company, watching him systematically organize and streamline the entire Davison Group. She learned a great deal from the experience. Meanwhile, Simon spent two days skulking around the Silverwood Hospital and the Davison Group, cursing under his breath. He didn’t get a single chance to approach Kate!
Chapter 173 What Are You Doing? Kate gazed at Eric lying on the hospital bed. Even though his vital signs remained unchanged, she persisted in talking to him for half an hour, never leaving his side. The doctors had told her to talk to Eric as it might stimulate his brain and help him wake up faster. Kate looked at Eric with deep concern and finally sighed softly, “Ric, wake up, please. Don’t scare me anymore.” With a tender longing, she leaned down and placed a gentle kiss on Eric’s lips. His lips were cold but soft. Out of the corner of her eye. Kate noticed a slight change in his vital signs when she kissed him! Although the change was minimal, she saw it. “Ric. you can feel me, right? Please wake up,” Kate whispered excitedly in Eric’s ear, but the momentary fluctuation in his vitals settled back down. Unfazed. Kate continued to talk to Eric, staying by his side until late into the night. Finally, at Hendrick’s urging, she reluctantly laid down on the bed next to his, watching him until she drifted off to sleep. Her sleep was restless, filled with vague, unclear nightmares. When she woke up, she touched her face and found it wet with tears. Kate remained silent for a moment before turning to look at Eric again. He looked slightly better, but his face and lips were still pale. “Kate, have some breakfast. Hendrick entered the room with a steaming hot breakfast, bringing an extra portion for Lucas. Lucas was already awake, struggling to work on his laptop, his hands moving slowly over the keyboard, and his face pale. “Snap. A hand suddenly closed Lucas’s laptop decisively. Lucas looked up angrily, “What are you… doing?” His angry words were cut short when he saw that it was Kate.

This is my responsibility.” He reached out to take the laptop back from Kate. Finished Kate stepped back, holding the laptop out of his reach, her expression stern, “I won’t let you use the laptop for long periods until you’re rested.” “You feel guilty and uneasy, so you’re punishing yourself this way. But what have you achieved? Your health hasn’t improved, and the work isn’t getting done properly.” Lucas’s face turned pale at her words. He clenched his fists tightly and finally spoke in a hoarse voice, “This is what I owe Mr. Eric.” Kate looked at Lucas coldly, “Do you think Eric would just watch you work yourself to death? Mr. Ackles, don’t forget you are Eric’s right hand man. If you collapse, who will help Eric with his work?” “Do you want George to run himself ragged, managing both Summer Estate and Davison Group, cleaning up the mess you leave behind?” Kate’s words were harsh, reflecting her genuine anger. Lucas seemed capable and intelligent, so why was he so stubborn about this? Her deep gaze fixed on Lucas, and she spoke calmly, “Do you think Eric wants to see you like this?”
Chapter 172 Tragedies Thinking of her family, Kate’s heart softened a bit. She wondered where her parents were traveling now and how their overseas business was progressing. Whenever her parents went on trips, they were often out of contact, sometimes only calling once every few months. That’s how it had always been. After Kate was forced to marry Eric, she had a falling out with her family and hadn’t heard from her parents for a long time. So now, Kate had no idea where they were. Even when she asked Hendrick, he could only tell her they were somewhere in Northern Europe, without any specific details. Isaac was even more elusive, constantly on the move. As a mercenary and a tough instructor at an overseas training base, he was often out of touch. But whenever he could reach them, he would call Kate first. Kate clenched her fist slightly at this thought. It had been three years since she last heard from Isaac. Linus, a professional race car driver, traveled the world to compete. He loved to send Kate photos. of himself looking cool before races, asking if he looked handsome. When he won, he would collect his medals and give them all to Kate upon returning home. Those medals were his testament to glory, yet he gave them to his sister without hesitation. Now, it had also been three years since she received any photos from Linus. They had deleted each other’s contact information, and she had forced them to do it. Even Hendrick couldn’t reach them now. Though Kate regretted her past actions, she couldn’t reconnect with them. Clearing her chaotic thoughts, Kate took a deep breath. She would not let the tragedies of her previous life repeat! Now that she was back, she would live differently. She would rebuild herself, learn, and grow stronger, becoming an asset rather than a weakness for her family. Kate continued reading Eric’s notes, absorbing as much as she could despite feeling overwhelmed. As the workday ended, she hurried to Silverwood Hospital. Eric was still unconscious, but Lucas had woken up. Balance. 1 Coins 1683 + 734 1 Pearls Chapter 172 Tragedies intently working on his laptop. Moved. Kate softly urged, ‘Mr. Ackles, please take care of yourself.” Lucas glanced up at Kate and gave a nonchalant smile, “Don’t worry, I’m fine!” With that, he quickly returned to his work. Kate watched Lucas for a while, noticing the guilt and self–blame in his eyes. Fillished He felt responsible for not protecting Eric and was burying himself in work to alleviate his guilt. With Lucas now helping to share the workload, George finally had a bit of relief. Kate then quietly sat by Eric’s bed, gently holding his hand. Eric’s hand was slightly cold, with obvious friction marks on his fingertips from scratching the walls unconsciously while trapped underground. “Ric… Kate murmured, resting her cheek against his large hand, “Please wake up soon, okay?” She paused, her eyes filled with pain, “You must be very tired. If you need more rest, that’s okay too. She spoke softly to Eric for a while, but he remained unresponsive, his body showing no signs of movement. Even his vital signs stayed steady without any fluctuations.
Chapter 171 Too Much After enduring a harsh reprimand from Yves Younghusband, Simon felt extremely angry but didn’t dare to show it. He still needed Yves‘ support. Having been kicked out of the Lowe Group, Simon found that people who used to be friendly with him were now avoiding him, respecting the power of the Lowe and Davison Groups. When he was at his wits end, Yves from M.C. Design Company approached him with a clear target: Eric. Simon seized the opportunity to align with Yves, divulging everything about Kate and Eric’s feelings for her. Yves decided to target Kate, believing that controlling her meant controlling Eric. As for Miles, dealing with him was just a bonus. Ruining both Kate and Miles‘ reputations and forcing them out of the design world in disgrace was the goal. Eric valued Kate highly, and leveraging information about her could easily lure Eric into a trap. Unfortunately, Eric was lucky enough to survive the explosion. Next time… A cruel glint appeared in Yves‘ eyes, followed by a sinister smile. He whispered something to Simon, who, shocked, gripped his phone tightly. “Mr. Younghusband, isn’t this too much? You know how powerful Eric is, I, I‘ Yves sneered, “If you can’t handle this, then I think our deal is off.” Simon clenched his fist and reluctantly agreed, “I can do it.” Yves smiled ambiguously, reclining on his sofa, “I look forward to your good news.” Then he hung up, walked to the floor–to–ceiling window, and looked in the direction of Silverwood Hospital, murmuring, “Eric, you’re so tenacious… Ugh, it’s disgusting. I want to crush you, bit by bit, until there’s nothing left!” His face was twisted with undisguised hatred and murderous intent. After a while, he let out another cold laugh and returned to his room. Meanwhile, Simon took a deep breath after hanging up and angrily muttered, “What a lunatic. Just because he has money, does he think he’s invincible? Is his life worth more than mine?” Frustrated, he grabbed a nearby blanket and threw it to the ground. It took him a while to calm down.

Although she was the young lady of the Lowe Group, she had never been interested in business management, and her parents never forced her to learn. Her three brothers also believed she should be protected, not burdened with running a company. When Hendrick showed exceptional business acumen, their parents happily handed the Lowe Group over to him. Her parents then traveled, not just for leisure but also to expand the Lowe Group’s overseas business. Domestically, Hendrick managed everything. After all, her eldest brother, Isaac Lowe, and her second brother, Linus Lowe, weren’t cut out for business.
Chapter 170 Utterly Incompetent In just one morning, the online narrative had been completely controlled. Accounts spreading false information about Eric’s critical condition were banned, and those who had been the most aggressive received legal notices from Davison Group’s legal department. Suddenly, no one dared to spread false information about Eric. The public interest shifted to concern for Eric’s current health, and Davison Group’s stock price stabilized. Simultaneously, the Davison Group decisively cut ties with numerous opportunistic companies, eliminating all who were only after profits with a swiftness that left people astonished. Once the attention on Eric subsided, the public’s focus shifted back to Kate and Miles. Miles‘ coming out drew considerable attention, but since he wasn’t a local, it didn’t significantly affect K.M. He even engaged with people online, and K.M’s PR team issued legal notices to the loudest detractors. As a result, the buzz around Miles gradually died down. Kate, however, faced misunderstandings due to the international design competition. Many online questioned whether she deserved the championship, accusing her of benefiting from insider dealings. An influx of cyber–trolls joined in, attacking and defaming her, alleging improper relations with Miles and plagiarism among other accusations. In response, both Davison Group and Lowe Group united their PR teams to quickly issue clarifying statements. Additionally, officials from the international design competition confirmed. Kate’s championship. Unscrupulous journalists, media outlets, and social media influencers spreading false information about Kate were all served with legal notices, and numerous accounts inciting trouble were banned. Within half an hour, the uproar surrounding Kate had been quelled. “Damn!” Observing the internet conversation, Simon swore loudly as he noticed the unfavorable report about Kate getting cleared. He clenched his phone, intending to crush it out of frustration. He had spent tens of thousands hiring cyber–trolls to defame Kate, but before any significant impact could be made, the accounts were banned, and the influencers received legal notices.

How did things turn out like this?” Simon quickly explained. “Mr. Younghusband, I didn’t expect Kate to have drawn those designs herself. I thought- “I don’t want to hear your excuses!” Mr. Younghusband’s voice was filled with malice, “You handled this terribly. You’re an idiot!” If it weren’t for exploiting Eric’s vulnerability, they would have been utterly defeated in this confrontation. Simon was a complete fool and utterly incompetent!
