Hugo Quinn raised an eyebrow, this was good, as long as Samantha Sullivan was willing to help, things would be much simpler. In the next few days, they were all busy trying to help Evan Yancy, but at the same time, the Ford Family was still trying to figure out how to increase Evan’s punishment. Old Master Ford clearly didn’t want Evan to just sit in prison for a few years. This time his granddaughter was hurt, and Evan must pay the price. Official source ıs 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵·𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮·𝓷𝓮𝓽 As for Hugo Quinn who went to the Shaw Family with Evan that day, he was instinctively overlooked by them. After all, Evan had no real background to speak of and was easy to handle. If they wanted to move against Hugo, they had to be cautious. Forget the entire Quinton Family, just dealing with Hugo Quinn alone was challenging enough for them. The online buzz continued to ferment, and everyone was cursing at Evan, with some news circulating that Evan’s company was under investigation for possibly being involved in tax evasion. The netizens felt a sense of justice served and began cursing Evan’s misfortune. Samantha didn’t even dare to look at the online news, because the abusive words were unbearable, and things weren’t even like that. "Samantha, don’t worry yet, Hugo has been working on a solution recently." Eleanor Hollis stayed by her side, the two of them had returned to where Samantha was living. The swelling on Samantha’s face had subsided, but each time she looked at the online news, she couldn’t help her eyes from reddening. Although Hugo had said he would help Evan, several days had passed without any news. Had he regretted it and didn’t want to get involved in this mess? "Hugo will help him!" Eleanor’s face was resolute, she knew him well, and if he promised to do something, he would see it through. A flash of guilt passed through Samantha’s eyes. "I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have doubted him, I believe he will help Evan." Soon, new information emerged online saying Evan shot at Claire Shaw because she had kidnapped Evan’s girlfriend, and planned to have some vagrants violate her. If Evan hadn’t arrived in time, his girlfriend would have really been harmed. The netizens were unsure if they should believe this revelation at first, but soon a video was released. It wasn’t just the video, but also a recording of Jude Shaw and his mother’s conversation, confirming Claire’s disgusting deeds. Julian Sterling was the first to repost the video, attaching his own words. "Finally someone dares to speak the truth, Evan is a good friend of mine, and Samantha is the woman he cares about the most. Claire’s kidnapping of Samantha and her malicious plans—if I were Evan, I would have shot her twice too. The Shaw Family and the Ford Family have been twisting the narrative online, only mentioning Evan shooting Claire without explaining why. Are they bullying people because of their family’s influence?" Julian’s influence in the entertainment circle was unquestionable, and his good reputation was well-known. He usually stayed out of showbiz affairs, but this time he was the first to support Evan. His fans naturally sided with their idol. Those who had been verbally attacking Evan suddenly fell silent. Shortly after, Hugo Quinn also posted on his Weibo supporting Evan, saying. "Claire has always been unscrupulous, she even dared to drug me at the Quinton Family." Underneath his post was a video of Claire at the Quinton Family voluntarily taking off her clothes. Through this video, the netizens could clearly see how desperate Claire was and kept saying she wanted Hugo to marry her, truly shameless. After a series of videos and recordings were exposed, along with Felicity Ford’s statements, people now very much believed that Evan was innocent, and that the Ford and Shaw families were oppressing people with their power. The Ford and Shaw families, who initially had the upper hand, were suddenly being cursed up and down. Old Master Ford never expected such a reversal, nor did he expect such videos to leak, he was so furious that he knocked the cup off the coffee table. No one dared to speak a word in the villa, now matter what they did, it was wrong, everyone believed it was because Old Master was too partial to his granddaughter, thus ignoring everyone else’s lives to force Evan’s conviction. The internet was almost in chaos, everyone condemning Felicity Ford as the matriarch of the Shaw Family for her skewed values, no wonder she raised such an awful daughter. At the same time, victim Samantha Sullivan entered the public spotlight, with a hospital nurse coming forward to speak about Samantha’s current state, saying that she was severely traumatized, still unconscious, and had attempted suicide. Historically, people have always sympathized with the weak, especially when the weak one is a woman. Netizens were eagerly following the drama, with half of the top ten trending topics on Weibo taken up by this affair, everyone abuzz, until higher authorities pressured Old Master Ford to resolve the issue quickly and to everyone’s satisfaction, or it could affect their prestige. Old Master Ford fainted in anger, and the entire Ford Family was in a panic. Meanwhile, inspectors who came to Evan’s company were blocked by crowds, each person ready with a rotten egg threatening to suffocate them. "Is there no justice left, not only are you putting Evan in jail, but also destroying his company. Is Serenford now a place where the Ford Family holds absolute sway?!" "Support Evan! If he’s going to jail, then first send that Claire woman in!" "The whole family is good for nothing!" Public opinion quickly reversed, everyone siding with Evan, calling for Claire to be jailed too. Another day passed, and the news of Samantha Sullivan’s suicide attempt spread, gripping everyone’s hearts with tension. Even if those vagrants hadn’t succeeded, being subjected to such an ordeal was beyond what any girl like Samantha could bear. On top of being seen by her boyfriend, she was undoubtedly ashamed and furious, wishing for death. The news of Samantha’s suicide attempt further fueled the public’s outrage to the extreme, with many starting to protest at the Ford Family’s gate, causing them significant headaches. The Old Master had already passed out and hadn’t yet woken up, their panic was palpable. The hospital nurses reported that Samantha was still in critical condition, with no clear information available at the moment. Many compassionate individuals went to the hospital with flowers and fruit baskets, intending to see this poor woman, but upon hearing she was still in the emergency room, they dared not enter further and stood vigil at the hospital entrance, continuously praying for Samantha. In the afternoon, news came from the hospital that she had been stabilized, though her emotional state was poor and she couldn’t receive visitors yet.
