Chapter 215: Chapter 190: I Was Careless, I Should Have Recorded (4th update)

Building 1’s small tower.

When facing the family members, Pierce Stephens often chose to speak here.

Gideon Stephens stood gloomily in front, with Pierce’s guards flanking him.

Although the hidden guards stared menacingly at anyone meeting with Pierce every day, Gideon still couldn’t get used to this kind of disrespectful gaze.

However, there was no way for him to speak up in front of Pierce.

Adam Stephens stood on the other side, with a cold face and not speaking either.

Only after Pierce made tea did he look at the two people. On the table was a tablet with Weibo open.

Pierce didn’t use the internet at all.

However, the cybersecurity specialists under the Stephens Family monitored any information published online, not only about their own family, but also had similar cybersecurity communication channels with other families.

"Gideon, you first."

Under Pierce’s deterrence, Gideon lowered his head and said, "Uncle Jason, this matter was deliberately smeared and instigated by others. It has nothing to do with me at all."

"What is this?"

Pierce pointed at a trending topic displayed on the tablet.

It was the one previously posted by Kelly Stephens.

With cold sweat trickling down, Gideon quickly explained, "Uncle Jason, it was Little Kelly who..."

"Bang!"

Without any warning, Pierce slammed the table.

Gideon’s facial muscles twitched.

"You choose not to post at any other time but now, didn’t you? Are you trying to deceive this old man who doesn’t understand the internet?"

He thought Pierce was a fool.

Gideon’s face grew pale.

"Uncle Jason, this matter really has nothing to do with us. Maybe that employee misunderstood Adam and wanted to take revenge privately..."

"The evidence online says you threatened their family," Pierce’s icy gaze fell on Gideon.

The landline phone on the table rang, and Pierce glanced at it coldly before picking it up.

On the other end was Joe Stephens’ voice, "Pierce, I’ve already had someone investigate this matter. Indeed, that employee deliberately wanted revenge. It was because Adam had overstepped his bounds within the company and caused him to feel unbalanced, so he had such thoughts of revenge."

Joe Stephens’ words slightly cooled Pierce’s brow, "Is that so?"

"If you don’t believe it, you can send someone to investigate as well."

"I got it," Pierce hung up the phone.

With a dismissive gaze on Gideon, he said, "Adam will stay here, the rest of you go back first."

Gideon breathed a sigh of relief, "Uncle Jason, get some rest early."

*

Seeing that Pierce didn’t pursue further, Adam’s face darkened.

He turned to leave.

"What are you doing?"

Pierce coldly questioned.

Adam clenched his fists and turned back abruptly, "I want to ask you the same question, Father, what are you doing?"

"Considering this matter relatively harmless, you could have handled it well on your side, but you brought it to me instead. Do you want me to solve your wife and daughter’s problems for you?"

Adam sarcastically replied, "For you, it must be a trivial matter as it doesn’t involve the family’s interests. It’s also my incompetence as a son to put you in a difficult position. I’m afraid Fourth Uncle’s status in the family will soon surpass you."

Pierce stared coldly at his son.

"I hope the next time I take action, you’ll still say it’s a trivial matter that does no harm."

After leaving those words, Adam straightened his clothes and walked away with big strides.

Pierce’s eyebrows furrowed tighter.

"Family leader."

Pierce leaned back, "Let someone handle it."

"Is it to remove the trending topic or..."

Pierce’s calm and cold eyes flickered, his voice flat, "My son, Pierce Stephens, has been wronged. Can Joe Stephens’ son be spared?"

Elliot Xenos: "..."

He understood.

"I’ll get on it right away."

Rowan followed Gideon back to Building 11.

By now, the sky was completely dark.

In Building 11, Kelly was waiting for them to return.

"Dad, Rowan, you’re back. What happened? What did Mr. Jason Davies say? Did he hold you accountable?"

Rowan said, "He didn’t do anything."

But Gideon frowned. It was rare to see Uncle Jason being so easygoing.

He always felt something was not quite right.

Hearing this, Kelly chuckled coldly with her hands clasped in front, "I told you, even if we expose the mother and daughter’s affair online, no one would care. The other members of the Stephens family would even clap and cheer, wishing for the mother and daughter to die."

"It’s a bit strange for the State Department to speak," Gideon frowned, still feeling it wasn’t right, but he was happy to see Adam suffer.

"Regardless of how the State Department came to be involved, we have pushed public opinion forward and can continue to use it later on. After all, it’s only speculation online without conclusive evidence. I just posted a welcome tweet for my sister to return home. Can they say that I have taken advantage of public psychology to ruin their mother and daughter’s reputation?"

Gideon nodded, "You don’t need to do anything more. There’s an important project on my father’s side recently, and it can’t be affected for now."

Kelly still wanted to stir things up and fan the flames.

Hearing Gideon’s words, she temporarily put aside such thoughts.

Gideon looked at Rowan, "Your father seems a little too cold towards you."

Rowan’s eyes darkened, "Sooner or later, he will know the consequences of ignoring me."

Of course, Gideon had confidence in his son.

The top floor of Building 11.

The girl was sitting diagonally on the edge of the red roof, her feet dangling in the air, one foot on the ground, her hands on her knees, and looking up at the sky.

At a window sill on the first floor, a mobile phone with its recording function turned on captured all the conversation inside.

A gust of chilly wind blew by the window, and the mobile phone was put away.

Gideon suddenly looked towards the window.

"Dad, what’s wrong?"

Gideon frowned, "The wind just now was a little strange."

How could there be such a strong wind in this weather?

Rowan said, "Maybe it’s going to rain."

He felt that the air was quite stuffy today, and it might really rain heavily later.

At 9 p.m.

At this point in time, it was usually when people lay down and browsed various apps. A trending topic appeared out of nowhere.

The Weibo programmer couldn’t remove it at all.

In short,

They were hacked!

[Wow, everyone, come and watch! This user called "Infrared" posted a long recording! It’s unbelievable! It’s a recording of the Stephens Family Big Shots!]

They were top of the trending topic list! Could anyone not see it?

Everyone clicked in and listened to a segment, and they were all shocked!

[That sounds like Kelly’s voice, right? I heard her voice when she was playing chess!]

[Be more confident, take away the "sounds like," it’s Kelly for sure.]

[What a huge scandal!]

[So, was the defamation of the mother-daughter duo orchestrated by Kelly’s family?]

[How can they deny it? The State Department has the evidence. Kelly and her family are so speechless, trying to use internet users to attack an innocent mother and daughter. Are they just bullying them for not having a good background?]

[Laughing to death here! Saying they have a bad background, do you know the CEO of Stephens Group? He’s handsome as hell! An excellent background! With such a husband and father, I’m green with envy!]

At this time, Kelly’s fans couldn’t sit still and started jumping out one after another.

[If you don’t have proof, you can’t say this is all Kelly’s doing. If this "Infrared" is capable, post a video! Anyone can imitate voices in an audio recording. Have you heard of voice actors? There are countless people on the internet who can imitate voices. You can find them anywhere.]

[That’s right, our Kelly is not that kind of person, it must be a smear!]

People who couldn’t stand Kelly’s crazy fans also jumped out to mock them, and both sides suddenly started a fight on Weibo!

Chloe Stephens, sitting in front of the computer, nodded in approval when she saw this.

She should have taken a video indeed.

She was careless.

So, the next second, she hacked into the surveillance system around Building 11 of the Stephens Family!

In the Stephens Family Network Security Monitoring Building, an alarm suddenly went off, and all staff members tensed up, their faces turning ugly as they traced the intruder’s tracks.
