Chapter 244:
âWhy are there no photos of Harlee available? Iâm eager to see what this elitist Sanderson heiress, who can just set up a lecture at a prestigious school like Baythorn University, looks like!â This curious query disappeared almost as quickly as it was posted. Posts featuring Harleeâs photographs vanished within moments, and the accounts that shared them encountered sudden glitches, forcing them to log out unexpectedly. Mentions of Harleeâs appearance or any photographs led to phones shutting down abruptly, erasing the comments.
Adelina, however, was completely unaware of these anomalies. She observed the trending topics that criticized Harlee with a smirk.
âHumph, youâre no match for me! Even the social media influencers are enough to bring you down! I doubt the Sanderson family can save you from this scandal! If you think you can steal Collin from me and get away with it, youâre mistaken! Youâll lose everything, and I wonât let you trample over me!â
It wasnât only Adelina. The Hilton family, who had been embarrassed before, saw the trending topics and, unconcerned with the truth, told their social media influencers to make things worse.
And then there was Lindsay. Upon noticing Harleeâs name pop up on social media, she clicked through with a smile. Lindsay was convinced that Rhys would never appreciate Harlee, a woman so wrapped in deception. The Green family had no room for anyone with a blemish.

All the while, Harlee remained unaware of the extent of the turmoil online. Once she infiltrated the forum and realized Adelinaâs involvement, her phone overheated and shut down abruptly.
Despite widespread public interest, no images of Harlee were available, thanks to Ritchieâs and Tonyaâs diligent efforts.
âIâm struggling to keep up. Why is this trending situation getting even worse? Itâs maddening. Maybe we should just disrupt the social platforms?â Ritchieâs eyes showed signs of severe fatigue.
His hacking abilities didnât match Harleeâs, and deleting all Harleeâs images online had pushed him to his limits.
Worn out, Tonya leaned back.
âWhen will this lecture controversy end? Iâve already made countless calls.â
Tears nearly escaping him, Ritchie pleaded, âHarlee, please, pick up the phone.â
In the meantime, over in the temporary office in Claelia, Rhys had finished his dayâs tasks and was now resting on the sofa, eyes shut. Just then, Hamilton burst in, saying, âMr. .
