Hayden Crawford closed his handsome eyes momentarily, his throat moving as he forcibly shook off all memories from his mind, refusing to think about them any longer. A cold smile curved the corners of his lips; if she thinks things are just over , she is gravely mistaken. Everyone must face the consequences of their actions. Serena Sterling returned to D Radio Station. The evening emotional broadcast began; she had to continue hosting. Due to Hayden Crawford, D Radio Station is now attracting a lot of attention. Serena’s sweet and soft voice shared a poem, then prepared to launch hotline calls. At this moment, a few people appeared by the door of D Radio Station, with Anabelle Rathborne at the forefront. Anabelle had originally been extremely confident in the listener report from A Radio Station, thinking Serena would lose miserably, but who would have thought Serena would win with an overwhelming advantage. Anabelle felt indignant just thinking about it. The A Station ratings were bought at the cost of her grandfather’s and Tiana Ford’s scandalous affair; her grandfather’s reputation had been tarnished. Yet, when it was time to compete in ratings, Hayden Crawford unexpectedly emerged, causing D Radio Station’s ratings to soar. Anabelle felt utterly cheated. At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "Annette." Anabelle quickly turned around and, upon recognizing the person, she was filled with joy, "Felix! Felix, you’re finally here!" Felix Knight had arrived! Today, Felix Knight wore a black windbreaker, with his hands stuffed in the pockets, his handsome face pale with a morbid charm, looking grim and unfathomable. Anabelle ran over and clung to Felix’s arm, making her feel anchored now that Felix had finally decided to get involved. Anabelle quickly reported grievances, "Felix, look, that’s Serena Sterling!" Anabelle pointed at Serena Sterling in D Radio Station. Felix’s blue eyes fell on Serena, scrutinizing her with an amused look: So this is Serena, the girl who, in such a short time, stirred up Grandpa’s scandal, and took Annette’s fiancé and Pearl’s sweetheart. This should be interesting! Felix displayed a faint smile. Anabelle saw this and knew Serena had successfully caught Felix’s interest. Those caught by Felix were akin to being entangled by a venomous snake; Felix wouldn’t let her fall quickly but bind her with ropes and toy with her until she was utterly exhausted before tearing her apart. This is Felix Knight! "Annette, I’m aware of everything that’s been happening lately, including the listener report issue. Actually... the revelation of Hayden Crawford and Serena Sterling’s matter isn’t a bad thing; it’s rather beneficial!" Felix said casually. Anabelle was thoroughly baffled, "Felix, how could this be considered good? She’s stealing all the limelight now." Felix glanced at Anabelle, inwardly not thinking much of either Anabelle or Aurora, both too foolish. Not willing to waste more words, Felix merely looked towards the staff nearby and instructed in a low voice, "Later, arrange for a few people to pose as listeners and call into D Radio Station’s hotline, questioning why she’s seducing someone else’s fiancé. Currently, D Station’s listeners are vast, many just watching the drama unfold. As long as we set the direction, label Serena as a temptress, public opinion will ." The staff was startled, then quickly nodded in praise, "Young Master Knight, your stratagem is simply brilliant! Even though D Station’s listener report exploded, so what? By guiding public opinion, she’ll be lambasted online, becoming a target for attack. Every hotline call will explode, but with calls only to insult her." Anabelle finally understood, her eyes lighting up, "Exactly, exactly, go execute Felix’s orders quickly. I’m eager to see how Serena handles this." "Okay." The staff immediately went to carry it out. Anabelle stood by the door, smiling smugly, "Felix, I finally understand your meaning; I understand why you called this a good thing." Felix smirked, "Now Serena stands on the cutting edge, many matters can be leveraged, and public opinion will snowball larger and larger. The City of Aethelgard has been quiet for a while; let’s see how fierce this storm will be!" Anabelle was nearly applauding because she knew this was just Felix’s first move. Felix undoubtedly has more tricks up his sleeve. Serena, you better brace yourself! Inside D Radio Station, Serena connected the hotline. At that moment, with a "ding," a hotline call came through. Serena quickly connected, "Hello, listener friend, this is your evening emotional host Serena Sterling. Do you have any emotional troubles you’d like me to help with?" The listener quickly responded, "Serena, do you have any shame? Aren’t you aware Hayden Crawford is Anabelle’s fiancé? What’s your mentality in seducing someone else’s fiancé? Is this the education and upbringing you received?" Another hotline call came in, also full of curses, "Serena, not only are you seducing someone else’s fiancé but also fooling Academician Crawford, giving him a cuckold. You must have tricked Academician Crawford into marriage. Does he know deep down you’re such a shameless and morally bankrupt woman?" The rightful source is novel✦fire.net D Radio Station’s hotline was quickly overwhelmed, the insults growing more vicious, "Serena, did you know Hayden Crawford and Zane Crawford are brothers? Aren’t you afraid that your flirtations will turn them against each other?" "I want to file a complaint, a complaint against D Radio Station hosting such a morally corrupt person, to address our emotional troubles. What can she possibly teach us? This is the funniest joke I’ve ever heard." "Shut down D Radio Station! Kick Serena Sterling out of the station! Expel Serena Sterling from the academy!" The outcry grew ever more violent, Serena had no chance to speak, utterly submerged by the wave of accusations. Just then, with a "bang," all of D Radio Station’s equipment was forcibly switched off. Yvonne Knight entered with the station’s upper management, exuding authority, "Serena, this is all because of you! Now all our complaint calls are flooded, listeners demand we immediately close D Radio Station and deal with you severely. We can no longer shield you!"
