Seeing these trending topics made my vision go black. I thought no one would believe such outrageous lies, but the netizens seemed to think otherwise.
Without a job, Nobert started livestreaming every night during peak hours.
Holding a bottle of alcohol, tears streaming down his face, he drunkenly begged me to hear him out.
“My wife and I have been together for over a decade, from dating to marriage. She’s not that kind of person. I just gave her some space.
“My wife has a mental illness. I thought she was really going to transfer the shares, so I agreed to the press conference. But I never expected she’d be manipulated.”

might have believed him.

“That night, I was drugged. I mistook Katrina for my wife. Think about it. She was wearing my wife’s pajamas.
“I’ve wronged my wife. If she doesn’t forgive me, my life has no meaning.”
Because of his good looks, his livestream became hugely popular.
Male viewers sympathized with him, saying that I was the kind of woman who probably stepped on countless men to run my
company.
Female viewers were heartbroken by his tears and flocked to marry him, flooding Norris Group’s account with hate comments about me.
I saved every single one. Nobert wasn’t just slandering me. He was inciting cyberbullying.
The PR team rushed into my office. “Ms. Norris, public opinion is turning against us. Should we take action now?”
I smiled calmly. “Set up our own livestream. I’ve got some explosive material to drop.”
Of course, it was time to strike. After all, Nobert was the one who had maximized the traffic.
“Wait!” I called as she was about to leave. “Make sure to add our products to the livestream.”

Once our account went live, I also added keywords related to Nobert. Normally, our livestreams barely had any viewers, but this time, the number shot up to over ten thousand.
Soon, the numbers kept climbing and soon reached millions…
These people were all here to defend Nobert.
“Where’s Ms. Norris? Bring her out!”
“Nobert worked for them for so many years, and they fired him over a misunderstanding?”
“Everyone, stop buying! Let them go bankrupt!”
When enough viewers had gathered, I displayed the chat records from that day’s screen sharing.
Katrina: [Has that bitch gone to sleep? If she has, come over now.]
Nobert: [The drugs were strong today. She’s been knocked out. Baby, why don’t you come over? I’m right here, next to her. Let’s make things more interesting.]
Katrina: [Ugh, stop! Come over, I think we need to speed up
the plan. Monty’s idea is good. What if we send her to a mental hospital?]
I then posted the sweet photos of the two of them during their fake business trip, which were taken behind my back.
The livestream exploded, and the comments flipped completely.
[I can’t believe it!]

[That man is lying! They were already having an affair!]

[I bet these two were planning on cutting off all ties! Ms. Norris is the real victim!]
[Ms. Norris wasn’t sick at all!]
Nobert panicked and immediately started his own livestream to explain himself, but he was quickly drowned out by insults and had to shut it down.
I then posted the message Nobert had sent me. The comments went wild.
[I knew he couldn’t be trusted!]
[Glad I didn’t attack Ms. Norris. Never pick sides before you know the whole story!]
[I did attack her. I’m sorry. I’ve already bought something to make up for it.]
[Me too. I’m buying now, or my conscience won’t let me rest!]
In less than half an hour, the livestream’s revenue surpassed 100 million dollars.
I shut down my phone, satisfied. I knew this was the perfect time to strike, especially after signing a bet agreement with other companies. This battle had been fought brilliantly.
I didn’t see Nobert for a while, but I later heard that he’d gotten so high–profile with his lies that he’d fooled a wealthy woman into

believing his fake emotions and had to flee after being hunted down.
As for Katrina, after being released from prison, she became a target for some powerful figures in the underworld.
She ended up begging at my doorstep. “Hailey, it was all my fault. Please forgive me. If you don’t forgive me, I’ll… I’ll kill myself!”
I found it laughable. What position did she even have in my life?
“Go ahead. I’ll make arrangements for someone to collect your body.”
“Our years together, and you do this to me over one
misunderstanding? Hailey, you bitch! You’ll get what’s coming to
you!”
She ran off, holding a small knife, her face contorted in rage.
The next time I heard about Katrina was when her name appeared on a list of victims in a fraud scheme.

I heard that she had been scammed by some underworld figures with an overseas high–paying job offer.
She was found dead, her organs removed.
Meanwhile, I restructured the key employees list and continued to set up a foundation to cover the down payments on their homes. I also provided many subsidies to those who inherited positions in the
company.
The employees cheered, saying they’d work for me until the end of their lives. I had become the new up–and–coming entrepreneur.
