Early the next morning.
At seven in the morning.
When many people were still asleep, a topic rapidly climbed the ranks on Twitter.
Unaware of what was happening on Twitter, Leo and Isabe had arranged to meet awyer that day,
intending to formally initiate theirwsuit against Storm Group.
Just as they were about to leave, thewyer called.
Picking up the phone, Leo cheerfully said, “Mr. West, don’t worry, we are just about to head out.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end, and then Mr. West, thewyer, said, “Have you
checked Twitter this morning?”
Leo was momentarily taken aback, then nonchntly replied, “Everyone on Twitter supports me.
Whether I look at
it or not doesn’t make a difference.”
After a pause, thewyer slowly said, “You should take a look.”
“Alright,” Leo responded casually, “I’ll check it on my way.”
“There’s no need toe. We don’t have to meet. I’m withdrawing from the case,” thewyer stated.
Leo immediately became anxious, “How can you just decide not to take the case? Just yesterday, you
were excited, saying that winning this case would make you famous. We’ve even signed a contract.
Your withdrawal now is a
breach of contract!”
Thewyer’s tone was just as harsh, “Be famous? That’s only if the case had a chance of
winning. As a client, you’ve withheld such critical information from me. Regardless of where this is
discussed, it’s your fault in the first ce!”
“What information have I hidden?” Leo angrily demanded.
“Just check Twitter,” thewyer replied, frustrated, and hung up.
Perplexed by thewyer’s strange attitude, Leo felt a sense of ominous foreboding.
He hurriedly opened his phone to check Twitter.
“Leo, what’s wrong?” Isabe cautiously asked, sensing something amiss.
Despite wracking her brain, she still believed their n was wless, leaving no room for mistakes,

somehow they discovered she was reborn, which seemed impossible.

Ignoring Isabe, Leo immediately opened the trending topics on Twitter and his eyes instantly fell on
the top trend, causing his eyelids to twitch and fingers to tremble.
His fingers on the keyboard couldn’t help trembling.
“Starry Romance Author Responds”
What did this mean?
Starry Romance was just a game, right?
How could there be an author involved?
the topic.
He quickly clicked on with Isabe peering over his shoulder.
Five minutester, both their faces turned ashen.
‘This… how is this possible?” Isabe stepped back, her eyes filled with disbelief.
At the top of the topic was a post from a verified author on Love Literary Network, going by the pen
name “Azure
Sea.”
Azure Sea, [The trending topics these past few days have been absurd. I never imagined people could
be so malicious, branding something as giarism! I hereby dere that the Starry Romance game is
adapted from my novel ‘Flirting With the Marshal in the Future World!’ Storm Group had purchased the
adaptation rights to my novel months ago, and the game adaptation was based on this purchase!
[The so–called Future Romance game does share simr backgrounds and character designs with
Starry Romance. However, it’s not Starry Romance that giarized, but Future Love, which giarized
my novel.

[Since Infinite Technologies wants to send awyer’s letter, I will also issue one.
[Infinite Technologies, I’ll see you in court.]
Finally, there was a straightforwardwyer’s letter, along with a link to her novel and its publication
date.
Whenizens clicked on the link, they discovered the novel had been published three years ago.
Moreover, the novel’s background and character settings were indeed identical to Starry Romance.
This meant that Starry Romance hadn’t giarized but had actually purchased the rights to the novel!

The real giarists turned out to be Infinite Technologies, Leo, and Isabe.
Theizens, who had been pped with the truth, flocked to Leo’s previous tweet.
Thest time they viewed it, it was with sympathy and pity.

But now, only anger remained, especially as Leo had repeatedly imed that the game was abor of
love by
Isabe.
Looking back, it was all seen as mockery.
–
What abor of love giarizing, huh?
Feeling duped, theizens were furious.
The more they had sympathized with Leo before, the angrier they were now.
His tweet was soon flooded with vitriolicments.
Theresa, who had been heavily criticized the day before, now weed a wave of apologetic
messages.
She didn’t care much about this as she had anticipated such a development.
She aimlessly scrolled through the apologies in her messages before logging off, disinterested.
Leo, witnessing this drastic turn of public opinion, felt his gaze gradually fill with a blood–red rage.
How could this be?
He turned to Isabe and asked, “Didn’t you say that the work was your original creation? Howe
someone else published a novel with the same content three years ago?”
“I…” Isabe was visibly panicked.
In her previous life, she hadn’t yed much of Starry Romance, so she only had a vague
understanding of the story behind the game.
How could she have known that the game’s background and character settings were based on a
novel?
And crucially, that novel wasn’t well–known at all, or else someone would have mentioned it earlier.
She wondered how Susan managed to dig up such an obscure piece.
A n that seemed foolproof was shattered by just four words, “adapted from a novel.”
This had to be Susan’s deliberate sabotage!

Leo, observing Isabe’s flustered face, lost every ounce of pity he had for her.
He realized he was ruined.
He was done for.
All his investments had gone down the drain, and his reputation was in tatters.
He no longer had the means to make aeback.
And all of this, he believed, was due to Isabe’s doing.
His previous pity and trust in Isabe turned into towering rage.
He raised his hand and viciously pped her, yelling, “Wretch!”
Isabe, stunned by the p, looked at him in disbelief. “You… you p me?”
“What’s wrong? Can’t I p you?” Leo’s expression was ferocious.
“You can’t do this to me,” Isabe said fearfully. “You love me. You even abandoned your mother for
me. How can you hit me when you love me so much?”
Leo scoffed coldly. “That old woman gave all her money to me, keeping her around wasn’t much use
anyway. I chose you because you seemed somewhat useful. But it turns out you’re just an ipetent
fool!”
