Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. At this time, the hall of HJ Empire was brightly lit.
Simon had just lulled Vana to sleep, but he was not sleepy at all. Because the guards had reported that after Simon and Vana came in, a paparazzo’s car drove around the villa gate and left. Presumably there was something related to Simon, so the management of the guards immediately contacted the butler.
Terence got to the bottom of it quickly. The owner of the car was a young man named Dave Qi, who was 23 years old. And that young man was indeed a paparazzo from a media detective agency, but almost no one in the industry knew him.
Terence had asked those media guys in the entertainment circle and got all the information. But Terence didn’t get another important piece of information, which was found on the intelligence network by Marcus. The young man’s boss was Max, the most convincing paparazzo in the entertainment circle nowadays.
Simon had heard about the family affairs of that celebrity. He had worked in real estate with that celebrity, so he paid attention to her news before.
But after that incident, the celebrity chose to divorce her husband and gradually dropped out of the entertainment circle. At this time, she was in a very bad place. And it was all because of Max.
Simon’s gloomy face had already shown his attitude. After a period of time, Terence, who was looking for documents on the computer, immediately opened a group chat interface and read the content. Then he turned his head, “Boss, it seems that the paparazzo is going to sell this news. Many groups have begun to forward it, and the title concerns you and Mrs. Vana.”
“Who dares to buy it?”
Terence nodded, “The Internet has not implemented the real name system. Many social media influencers are invisible, so many people buy this news.”
Simon’s face gradually became darker. He ordered, “Find the person who can make an offer and ask him to make a deal face to face.”
Terence immediately understood what Simon meant, so he quickly registered a new number, and then found several groups and offered a relatively high price. Finally, he found the person who claimed to have first-hand information.
In order to make sure that the person behind it was the mastermind, Terence paid two hundred thousand dollars in advance to buy a detailed picture. But he didn’t expect that after the detailed picture appeared, he immediately recognized that it was an intimate photo of his boss and Vana. So after he told the other party he wanted a face-to-face talk, he once again reported the current progress to Simon.
About half an hour later, the other party finally agreed to make a deal face to face. But if Terence wanted to use force, the other party would find someone to expose this matter.
After making an appointment, Simon and Terence went out. However, Vana, who had slept on the plane before, woke up at four o’clock in the morning at home.
The first thing Vana did when she woke up was to look for Simon, but she didn’t see him after touching the bed for a while, so she realized that Simon might have something to do and left.
Vana couldn’t accept the fact that Simon began to neglect her on the first day after their honeymoon. But she understood that Simon was very busy. Since she was not sleepy, she decided to finish watching the soap opera.
When she turned on her phone, she was startled by consecutive notification tones.
When Vana was still wondering what kind of software was so noisy, she saw the first headline was a post from Micro-blog about her and Simon. The second headline of Toutiao was also about them. And the last headline of Pinduoduo App was about Simon: Don’t be sad, Simon’s fans. Go shopping and make yourself feel better.
“Damn it! I just got three hours of sleep. How could there be such news? Did something happen last night?”
Vana immediately went to Micro-blog and typed in her name. And she saw a lot of relevant hashtags on Micro-blog: “Simon Vana”, “King Si Vana”, “Vana Scandal”, “Overnight” and “Vana History”…
Seeing these words, Vana was already upset. When she clicked on those hashtags, she saw those social media influencers who sent these posts.
A social media influencer named “I Knows Showbiz” posted a message on Micro-blog. [Late-night breaking news! There is a screenshot in the WeChat Moments. Someone has first-hand information about a business tycoon, and the selling price of this information starts at 30 million. It is said that the person who has a connection with this business tycoon is a scandal-plagued woman, who was a sex slave and just appeared in the entertainment circle. This news was leaked by a female star in the entertainment circle, who acted in many crap films. The news is likely to be true. ]
This post had been forwarded 20 thousand times, and it was sent an hour ago.
Vana thought to herself, ‘Why did they get up to read gossip in the middle of the night? Didn’t they worry about sudden death?’
Among the most eye-catching relevant posts on Micro-blog, the one with the most comments and likes was Max’s post.
[A big shot of Magic City meets a beautiful woman, who is a scandal-plagued female star. At half past one tomorrow noon, I’ll post the pictures.]
This post was posted by Max three hours ago. At this time, the amount of repost had reached one hundred thousand times. And according to the comments, many people heard what others said and then came to look for pictures. There was also a live countdown in the comments. [Only 9 hours left! I’m waiting for the number one paparazzo to break the shocking news. ]
Vana frowned. It seemed that someone had taken a picture of her and Simon. And the reason why Simon left so early was probably to deal with this matter.
On the one hand, Vana was worried that her scandal would affect Simon, and on the other hand, she kept scrolling through posts, trying to see how much the content of this scandal was.
At this time, Vana suddenly saw another hashtag about her was trending on Micro-blog. The key words were “Vana” and “Plagiarism”. Without hesitation, she clicked in and found that it was a post posted by Wendy.
Wendy’s username was “WendyKD”. According to Wendy’s post, Vana, who ranked second in the new jewelry design competition, plagiarized someone else’s work and paid people to vote for her. Wendy said that Vana’s “Flower Season” plagiarized the designs of Halia, and compared the pictures of “Flower Season” with several designs of Halia.
The public didn’t know that Vana was Halia, so after Wendy told the truth, someone immediately spread the word.
Vana took a look at the time when Wendy sent out the post. It was about two o’clock in the midnight, which meant that this matter happened after the exposure of Vana’s relationship with Simon. It was very likely that Wendy did it on purpose.
While she was angry, Vana was also thinking about how to solve it.
If the scandal of sex slave was cleared up now, Vana was uncertain whether it would work. But in light of what happened tonight, even if the scandal of Vana was cleared up, it was still difficult to calm down the majority of women who lost their favorite man. So what Vana did would be in vain.
Vana had no choice but to dissociate herself from Simon and explain that it was a misunderstanding. As for the plagiarism of jewelry design, Vana could clarify it in person with Halia’s Micro-blog account, so that someone would believe it.
