Randall was chilling in the café Cindy had put her money into. He had hisptop open, keeping tabs on thetest online news. No need for him to handle the news ckout; Patrick had that covered. He had twoptops next to him and was even using the store''sputer.


    His phone was still connected. Randall told Susan, "I''ll send you a few IP addresses soon. Pass them on to Molly and Patrick under your name."


    Susan asked, "Randall, did you find something you can''t tell Molly and Patrick directly?"


    "Yep," he replied.


    Randall was on the hunt, tracking down the person who posted those photos online.


    Once he had the info, he shot the domain address over to Susan. "This is the person who leaked Vera''s photos and stirred up all the online hate. Give it to Molly and tell her it''s Alexis." "Why not send it to Vera?" Susan was puzzled.


    "Molly will get Sebastian involved. He''s a cop who specializes in nabbing people like this," Randall exined.


    Randall kept digging online. He didn''t think the fugitive Jeffrey would just sit still.


    Sure enough, by the afternoon, Patrick''s scandals were all over the inte.


    [When Patrick acquired Vertex Innovations Group, Mr. Miller disagreed. He used illegal means to make Mr. Miller disappear, then went ahead with the acquisition to further monopolize the clothing market.] [The Tooker Group''s bankruptcy also had Patrick''s hand in it.]


    Conspiracy theories were popping up and spreading like wildfire.


    Vera wasn''t too worried about the so-called scandals, but she still frowned.


    She looked at Theodore, who was snoozing in her arms. Theodore had been more irritable and hard to handletely. He had to be held to sleep soundly; he''d cry the moment he was put down.


    Vera, holding Theodore, went to Patrick''s study.


    Patrick was sitting in a chair with aptop on the long table in front of him. Seeing Vera, Patrick looked up, "Vera, put down your phone and take a nap with Theodore."


    "Honey, can Theodore''s photos be deleted?" She didn''t care about her own photos, but she couldn''t ignore Theodore''s.


    Vera had her reasons. She wanted to keep Theodore out of the public eye. If he were to be kidnapped or harmed, being Patrick''s son could bring him unknown dangers.


    Patrick had made a lot of enemies over the years in business. Because of his current status, those who were unhappy with him didn''t dare to speak out. But if they targeted Theodore, Vera couldn''t help but worry. Patrick said, "I get it. I''ve already ordered that all photos of you and Theodore be wiped from the inte."


    Vera pouted, looking worriedly at Theodore in her arms. "But a lot of people have already seen his face."


    Patrickughed and reassured her, "It''s okay. When Theodore grows up a bit and loses some baby fat, they won''t recognize him."


    Soon, Patrick got a message from Susan on his phone, [Patrick, my friend sent me this real overseas virtual ID. Not sure if it will be useful to you.]


    Patrick looked at his phone and then told Vera, "Don''t worry. Go back and take a nap with him."


    After Vera left, Patrick messaged Susan, [Which friend sent this to you?]


    "[My best friend. The info is rock solid,]" Susan replied.


    Patrick nced at the info that even Ian couldn''t dig up, but Susan''s "friend" did.


    He forwarded the message to Jack, [Investigate.]


    Molly was frantic in her bedroom. "Sebastian, hurry up. Susan just sent me some info. Use this to catch Alexis and get rid of her. She caused trouble for Vera at school, and now that she''s been expelled, she''s still messing with Vera online." Soon, Molly got another video from Susan.


    [Molly, my friend said this is a video for Sebastian.] Susan''s message shed on the screen.


    After watching the video, Molly urged Sebastian at the police station, "Don''t let me and Susan down."


    Annoyed, Sebastian looked at the video and the address sent to his phone.


    Sebastian frowned and picked up the phone on his desk, transferring the call to his colleague in the narcotics team. "I got a tip about a group of people using and possibly dealing drugs."


    By the afternoon, the narcotics team sessfully busted a drug den and seized several pounds of drugs. The dealer? Alexis.


    By four o''clock, the online gossip started to fade and eventually disappearedpletely.


    The photos were deleted, but who knows if someone saved them secretly.


    Patrick got the results of the investigation he had asked Jack to conduct. [Mr. Patrick Olteran, this ID is from a publicwork overseas, making it tough to trace. It seems someone did this on purpose. But there''s something odd, our rival, The Rossi Family, has their headquarters in that area.]


    [The address using you of using illegal means to make n disappear was also found. When we got there, the house was empty. And another strange point is that two groups of people were sending messages.]


    [The ones exposing Mrs. Olteran''s identity and organizing the online abuse against her have been arrested for drug use and dealing. The person who exposed the video of you and Mr. Theodore Olteran has been found and dealt with. The video source has been deleted.]


    Patrick leaned back in his chair and sneered. A simple video could stir up so much trouble. It seemed he had made quite a few enemies.


    Jack reported again, [Mr. Patrick Olteran, the Olteran Group''s stock price has dropped overseas, but it''s still within a controble range.]


    Patrick was dismissive. It was almost pointless. [Don''t bother with the overseas one. Keep investigating the rest.]


    [Yes, sir.]


    Soon, Patrick got another address from Susan, [Patrick, my friend said the person who ndered you appeared here.]


    This time, her "friend" had indeed been a great help!


    With the online news gone, Molly went to Vera''s bedroom. Vera was leaning against the headboard, gently patting the sleeping Theodore with one hand and looking at her phone with the other.


    Noah had just called her, telling her to stay offline. Thewyer''s letter from the Linister Group was sent by Noah. Whoever insulted Vera online, he would immediately send awyer''s letter, and even if the posts were deleted, he would keep the evidence and could directly sue.
