Chapter 113
Henry chuckled as if he had heard a joke and said disdainfully, “Isn’t this 300 thousand dollars more practical than an apology! Besides, Mrs. Williard didn’t do it on purpose. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be offering this compensation.
“And from what I know, Ms. Rodriquez, you work in the new media industry. Your follower count is probably not very justifiable, and your income isn’t that high. This money would take you years to earn, right? Why turn it down so easily?”
Moira was about to lose her temper, but Zea spoke up first. “Do me a favor. Check the market rate before you come spouting nonsense. I don’t need this money at all!”
Zea tossed the check onto the floor and said, “Take it back to her. I don’t need any compensation. All I want is for her to post an apology video online and admit she’s an idiot who couldn’t even identify her husband’s mistress. No wonder he cheats on her. She deserves it!”
After saying that, Zea pulled up the blanket and turned away, saying, “Moira, show them out.”
Moira immediately gestured toward the door.
Henry’s face turned grim, but before he could say anything, the officer stopped him with a stern look. “Ms. Rodriguez needs to rest. Str. McKay, I suggest you discuss this further with Mrs. Willard.”
After they left, Moira shut the door, pulled up a chair, and sat by the bed. “I thought you’d take the 300 thousand dollars”
Zea sat up and said, “I have my pride. Thank you very much. Then, she held out her hand.
“What Moira asked
Zea replied. “My phone.”
Moira said, “No way. You need rest, not more internet drama”
Zea confessed, “I already checked. My name’s not a trending topic on X anymore, and the livestream video is gone. The police have issued a statement. Everyone knows that woman mistook me for someone else.
Moira blinked in surprise. Really?
She quickly fished out Zea’s phone and handed it to her friend, the grabbed her own to check. Sure enough, the video was nowhere to be found. To keep Zea from seeing the video, Moira had stopped her from going online. Now that even the photos could not be found, the stress that had wrighed on Moira all night finally lifted a bit.
Zea suddenly asked, “Moira, did you ask Virgil for help?”
Moira nodded. “I did mention it to him. Not sure if he did this”
“Thank you,” Zea said gratefully,
Looking at Zea’s face, Moira felt a pang of anger. I wish we could throw that woman in jail. We can’t let this slide.”
Therefore, Moira contacted Baldwin to get the company lawyer’s advice. As the police officer had said, since Zea’s injuries weren’t serious, the outcome would likely just be detention and compensation.
Getting the woman jailed was unlikely, but they both rejected the idea of settling. They wanted an apology, not money.
Moira also planned to file a lawsuit against Grain Palace. As a high–end restaurant, Grain Palace had the responsibility to protect customers‘ privacy. When a customer’s is in danger, they should intervene, but they didn’t
While

The moment the message was posted, many people liked it Zer still had a solid fanbase who knew that she had been wrong and had been staying in the livestream. When one person spoke up, they all chimed in, calling for Suzy to apologize to Zea
But Suzy sneered. Just because I got the wrong person doesn’t mean she’s innocent. The internet has records of her past scandals. And I can assure you, she’s not some decent girl.”
Moira was about to reply when the screen suddenly went black. Many viewers were shocked and baffled.
[Where is she? What happened?]
[Is it bad internet or did someone report her?]
[She probably got reported.]
