Adrian Jennings quickly walked to Talia Rhodes’ side, full of concern, "Talia, how are you?" Earlier, Adrian had also gone to the police station to inquire about the progress of Jasmine Rhodes’ case, learning from the police that Talia had just been there. He immediately chased out and searched for Talia on the street. It wasn’t long before he spotted Talia. Coming closer, he heard the woman standing in front of Talia using foul language to insult her. With a glance from Adrian, his bodyguard immediately stepped forward to restrain the woman. Hearing her swearing, Adrian understood she was a fanatical follower of Vivian Coleman, just like that glasses-wearing man who threw acid. Adrian’s eyes turned cold and sharp like blades as he swept his gaze over the fan kneeling on the ground. His strong aura frightened the fan with just one look. The fan’s back stiffened instantly, cold sweat dripping from her forehead. Who exactly is this Lawyer Rhodes? Why does she have bodyguards protecting her? The fan completely lost her previous arrogance, kneeling on the ground with a pitiful expression, apologizing and begging for mercy. "I’m sorry... I’m sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me..." Talia narrowed her eyes slightly, clearly unsatisfied with her apology. The fan peeked at Talia, seeing her face cold as ice, her heart skipped a beat, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She immediately bowed her head to the ground, pleading to Talia, "Please forgive me, I truly know I was wrong, I’ll never dare again..." The woman’s forehead hit the ground with a "bang, bang, bang" sound. After a while, Talia spoke coldly, "Call the police." This was already the second incident of fans causing trouble. Talia did not plan to let this go easily. These two fans were both adults, aware of their actions, and they must face the consequences. When the woman heard about calling the police, her face turned white. "No, please don’t call the police, I truly won’t dare again, please spare me!" A bodyguard took out his phone to call the police. "You—" Talia pointed to another bodyguard, "Record a video when the police arrive." The bodyguard, taken aback, instinctively looked towards Adrian. Adrian nodded slightly; only then did the bodyguard respectfully say, "Alright, Miss Rhodes." The police responded quickly. The bodyguard recorded a video as requested by Talia, capturing the entire process of the fan’s arrest. "Talia, it’s best if you still take a bodyguard with you when going out recently, it’s too dangerous," Adrian’s eyes were full of worry. Talia let out a cold smile, "It’s none of your business." The girl continued to walk forward, and Adrian followed along. Talia paid no attention to Adrian, walking straight towards the open-air parking lot not far away. She had parked her car there when she went to the police station earlier. Open the door, get in the car, close the door, all in one fluid motion. Adrian was left outside the car door. Talia started the car and drove away. Back home, Talia took out her phone to watch the video the bodyguard recorded. "Ha, enjoying using the internet to twist things and incite fans to harass me online, huh." Talia smirked coldly, "Vivian Coleman, have you ever thought about the backlash this could cause?" The next day, Vivian Coleman became a trending topic again. She wasn’t just trending, but appeared under three hashtags. But this time, none of the hashtags were favorable to her. #Reversal! Vivian Coleman is the mistress# #Vivian Coleman incites fans to cause trouble offline# #Vivian Coleman fake socialite# Each of these trending topics had evidence attached. The tweet exposing Vivian as the mistress included chat records from when she just returned home, between her and Ethan Grant, as well as her provocative messages to Ethan’s official girlfriend, Lawyer Rhodes. The most popular comment under that tweet claimed to be from someone who knew Vivian in real life. [She’s the mistress. When she returned home, Ethan hadn’t broken up with his current girlfriend. Everyone in our circle knows this.] Many online spectators fiercely criticized her. Of course, there were also fans defending her, arguing that the chat records were fake. The second post about Vivian inciting fans to cause trouble offline included videos of the glasses-wearing man who threw acid and the fan who publicly insulted Talia being arrested. The police issued a notice explaining the situation. It clearly mentioned that the glasses-wearing Mr. Zhang acted out of resentment after Vivian, the online streamer, had her account banned, and that a criminal case for intentional injury had been filed. It also stated that Ms. Wu was incited by Vivian to cause trouble publicly insulting others and was detained for fifteen days. With videos, photos, and the police notice, this chain of evidence relentlessly condemned Vivian. The comment section was filled with curses. The last trending topic revealed Vivian’s true identity. She wasn’t some rich socialite; her family was only moderately well-off, and she involved herself in Ethan and Lawyer Rhodes’ relationship for money, with those designer bags all acquired by seducing Ethan. Comments under the tweet claimed Lawyer Rhodes was the real wealthy socialite. Pictures of Talia at the Rhodes Family estate banquet were posted, along with her driving a luxury car and enjoying afternoon tea at a five-star hotel. [Laughable, as someone who knows the truth, let me expose more: that Lawyer Rhodes you speak of is the real wealthy socialite. Her family owns estates, luxury cars, and countless designer goods. Vivian, the gold digger, doesn’t deserve to come near.] [Even an online streaming girl dares to leverage Oakhaven’s Rhodes Family heiress’s fame, truly idiotic and wicked.] [Vivian’s fanatics, your goddess isn’t even worthy of carrying the Rhodes heiress’s shoes.] [Eating melon over someone you actually know, can’t believe people are slandering the Oakhaven Rhodes heiress as a mistress, haven’t seen this in my lifetime! I’m university classmates with Miss Rhodes, she’s rejected more handsome suitors than you’ve eaten salt, a classic case of slander!] In an instant, online opinion shifted dramatically. Vivian repetitively refreshed the tweets, her features twisted with anger. She slammed her phone to the ground with a thud, cursing loudly, "Bitch!" ...

Ethan Grant’s subordinate, Luke Langdon, wore protective gloves, holding a glass bottle, staring at the man with interest, "You really like sulfuric acid, don’t you?" The man’s eyes were filled with panic, his face as white as sheet, he stuttered, "No... I-I don’t like... Please... Please don’t..." Luke’s eyes glinted with cruelty, his smile sinister, "Have a taste of what it’s like to be corroded by sulfuric acid..." The man’s screams echoed endlessly. Yet Luke only grew more excited, "Tch, tch, compared to the concentrated sulfuric acid you threw at Miss Rhodes, what’s diluted sulfuric acid?" Even diluted, sulfuric acid was still corrosive. The man’s face was marred with holes, burned by sulfuric acid, frighteningly distorted beyond human recognition. "Ah—" The man groaned in agony, "Kill me, kill me! Just give me a quick death!" Luke sneered, "Quick death? You deserve that?" As he spoke, he used a dropper to collect half a tube of sulfuric acid, dripping it onto the man’s hand, "It’s only fun when it’s slow..."
