Chapter 2812
âLook, I didnât even take this photo, you've got the wrong idea about me,â he tried to explain, his
voice tinged with frustration.
âIt was just some passerby who snapped it and then sent it my way. That doesnât mean I'm
infringing Mr. Harris's right to privacy, does it?
And come on, Mr. Harris is a looker â why keep that under wraps? The whole online world is
shouting for more snaps of the guy.
After raking in the big bucks here in the States, surely Mr. Harris can throw a bone to us regular
Joes, right?â
If Emrys wasn't smack in the middle of a serious case, he'd have scoffed at the audacity. The guy
across from him was stubborn as a mule, even with his back against the wall
"So, what you're saying is you refuse to take down the photo?â he pressed, barely containing his
irritation.
Waller was dancing around the issue. âIt's not that I won't take it down, it's just that, right now, I
can't. Making a living isn't a cakewalk, you know? If I take down that photo, it's like I worked for
nothing. You get me?
You're one of Nolan's hotshot lawyers, aren't you? You get paid the big bucks, and hey, I'm just
trying to do my job here.â
Emrys was not moved by Waller's sob story. If the guy wouldn't play ball, they'd settle it in court.
Besides, they had given Waller fair warning â a courtesy before they'd play hard had more than
enough tricks up their sleeves to scrub that photo from the inter good.
Waller hung up with a smug grin, still basking in the glow of his âmasterpiece.â But second, his whole
world went dark â his homepage, his posts, all of it, gone withou
trace.
"What the heck did my internet crash? What's going on? How could this happen?â
Feverishly, Waller refreshed his page over and over, but his homepage remained a barre wasteland,
And just his luck, everyone else's pages were fine. Thinking it was some virus, he panicked and
rebooted his computer.
But whether it was on the web or on his phone all he saw was that glaring blank space where his
content used to be, his username hanging there in lonely isolation.
Waller slumped onto the couch, all his hard work up in smoke. He wasn't the only one

noticing. Other netizens drawn by the trending topic were also met with confusion.
[What's the deal? I just saw Mr. Harris's photo, and now it's gone?]
[Tsk, tsk. You've gotta hand it to the big leagues for their efficiency. Why else would it
vanish?
Mr. Harris clearly didn't want his photos out there. This paparazzo stepped on a landmine. Mark my
words, anyone who tries posting his pic is gonna get the blackout treatment. If you want to keep
your account intact, best not to poke the bear.]
Some didn't buy into the warnings, with a few trying their luck by posting Nolan and Dahliaâs
photos they had saved.
But it didn't matter who it was as soon as they uploaded those images, their pages were flagged
and wiped clean as if they'd never existed.
[Didn't I tell you not to mess around? You're seriously underestimating Mr. Harris's patience. You're
infringing on the guy's privacy and rights. Be thankful if all you get is a wiped account - this kind of
thing can bring a lawsuit down on you so fast, and trust me, Mr. Harris isnât one of you penny-
pinchers. He's got the time and resources to drag you to court.].
Now it wasn't just the anonymous internet users who were scared â even Waller was shaking in his
boots, fumbling to redial Emrys number.
