Chapter 269

“I also heard the executive’s wife found out and stormed the competition venue. She grabbed Alaricka Huston by the hair and slapped her multiple times. After that, I lost sight of them because the wife dragged Alaricka Huston into a room. You could hear the wife’s filthy cursing through the door, while the executive didn’t dare make a sound.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, the executive must really love her–he even gave her the championship title.”

“Damn, and I actually defended Alaricka Huston earlier! I hate people who get ahead through backdoor dealings the most.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder Roschelle Whitaker gave up the trophy. Bet the organizers threatened her to hand it to Alaricka Huston.”

“Y’all keep pressing me? Someone already contacted me to delete these comments. I can’t afford to cross those people or Alaricka Huston… but I won’t delete a thing. Hee hee hee hee hee.”

“I can’t take this anymore! Does anyone know Alaricka Huston’s social media handle?”

These elaborately fabricated comments made Alaricka Huston frown deeply.

How could she not know about any of this?

Staring at the screen flooded with insults, irritation welled up inside her.

Right then, she finally understood why people despised cockroaches.

Tenacious, multiplying endlessly, crawling out from every corner to cling to you.

Utterly disgusting.

As Alaricka Huston scanned the abusive comments, she sensed this wasn’t Roschelle Whitaker’s final move.

Roschelle Whitaker must have more tactics in store.

Plagiarism, no matter how it’s justified, was inherently damaging—especially to Roschelle Whitaker’s reputation.

If Roschelle Whitaker wanted to salvage her image, this wave of rumors wouldn’t satisfy her appetite.

Suddenly, Alaricka Huston realized Kieran Argent hadn’t shown up yet.

Given how fiercely Kieran Argent had doted on Roschelle Whitaker in their past life, he’d never let her face online harassment alone.

Sure enough, thirty minutes later, Kieran Argent’s official account—as Chairman and CEO of Kierose Group—posted a statement bearing the company’s glaring seal at the bottom right.

In response to current online discussions, Mr. Argent issues the following statement:

“Kierose Group Chairman Mr. Argent and Ms. Whitaker will hold their engagement ceremony on June 7th. Regarding the false, insulting, and defamatory remarks targeting Ms. Whitaker circulating online, our company will employ all legal means at all costs to protect her legitimate rights and interests. We have already collected evidence against relevant netizens’ comments and urge everyone to be mindful of their words and actions to maintain a healthy online environment.”

Kierose Group Co., Ltd.

The concise statement perfectly aligned with Kieran’s decisive character.

Not stopping there, Kieran’s account immediately followed up with a lawyer’s letter.

It announced that one of Beijing’s top ten law firms had been retained to sue netizens who posted defamatory remarks against Roschelle Whitaker.

Over thirty usernames were listed in the legal notice—a staggering sight at first glance.

The unprecedented speed, unyielding approach, and absolute lack of negotiation room left netizens utterly astonished.

You should know, even today’s celebrities with so many anti-fans rarely sue this many netizens at once. Issues like time, efficiency, and cost mean stars usually target just a few individuals—never on such a massive scale.

You should know, cases like this often require lengthy preparation. Collecting netizens’ comments and ID details makes it extremely complicated.

But for Kieran, these limitations vanished. Within a single day, he’d gathered full identity data on over thirty netizens. The lightning speed caught everyone off guard.

What’s more crucial, Kieran hired the nation’s top law firm. Their astronomical fees alone—when totaled for all these lawsuits—could probably buy a luxury mansion in this city.

Such ruthless efficiency, such fury unleashed for his beauty, drew even more netizens to spectate the drama.
