Chapter 55 Clayton listened silently to their call.
Isabella put down her phone and picked up the laptop.
"What are you going to do?" Clayton looked at her with great interest.
Isabella said without raising her head, “I'll track down these people first and dig out their dirt. As for what I would do, it depends on my mood." Clayton smiled. It was the first the had seen Isabella like that. She looked like a fully energized little soldier, more motivated than ever after facing bullying from her family. It was evident that Gwendolyn meant a lot to her. "Victor should be back soon. It's better to let him deal with it." Clayton said.
Isabella tilted her head, her eyes fixed on the computer screen. "Gwen's manager is also handling it. Apparently, the rumor-monger didn't realize that the investor was Victor. Now, she's trying to mislead everyone and drag the investor into trouble. It's only fair for Victor to address it. I'll handle these darn ghostwriters. They take the high road, so I'll take the low road." Clayton looked at Isabella in a daze.
She sat cross-legged on the carpet, holding her laptop and typing quickly with her fingers.
Here reyes were wide open as she let out exclamation from tto time, paused, then started typing on the laptop again.
She pressed her red lips one moment, pouted, and curled the next. Clayton found the sight so adorable that he really wanted to coddle her.
After a while, isabella suddenly looked up and saw Clayton looking at her. She put the laptop aside and leaned over. "Clayton, do you want swater?" Clayton smiled and shook his head.
"Well, I'll cook first." She got up.
"Have you finished your work?" Clayton looked at her computer.
"Not yet. I've already identified sof the meanest netizens. I hacked into their computers and found sincriminating evidence. Also, those photos have all been edited. I've managed to uncover the original versions. I'll send them out after I've made a comparison," Isabella said.
She bit her lower lip and smiled impishly. "By the way, I'm still a little uncertain. Do you think I should expose all the pornographic videos of those ghostwriter leaders? And what about those directors with questionable morals? Do you think I'm going a bit too far?" Clayton raised his eyebrows and said, "Mrs. Murray, have you softened up? Do you want to spare them?" Isabella pursed her lips and said, "Tsk! No way! This kind of person needs a lesson! I'm going to uphold justice this time! I also hacked into Mabel's computer. She has quite a colorful love history! If I threaten her, do you think I'll make a lot of money?" Clayton looked at her calmly.
20:34 Sat, 29 Jun G Chapter 55 Isabella simpered. "I'm just saying. I'm an ethical hacker. I won't make shady money." Clayton laughed. "It sounds like you're hinting at something." Isabella chuckled, jumped up, closed the laptop, and put it on the bedside table. "I'm cooking. You can sleep for a while. I'll call you when it's done.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThen, she left the room.
Clayton took Isabella's laptop and checked it. He was surprised He didn't expect that Isabella was so powerful. He knew she was a top student in the Department of Computing at University of Moulmore, but he didn't expect her to be so capable at such a young age. No wonder she found the loopholes in their system so easily.
In time, she would beca rare talent.
He smiled and closed the computer, thinking, 'Well, let her deal with it her way first. Anyway, I'll be behind her. No matter what trouble she gets into, I'll support her." Gwendolyn's assault incident continued to spread on the internet, with comments urging her to leave the entertainment industry popping up everywhere. The crew had to halt shooting her scenes, and there were even rumors of changing roles.
Gwendolyn remained silent and did not accept any interview.
But just as the fans were getting worked up, sunexpected changes suddenly occurred on the internet.
At first, those photos posted by the individuals claiming to be Gwendolyn's boyfriends were posted on various websites and forums. However, each picture was followed by an original picture of Gwendolyn from the sevent, taken from the sangle, without any comments. Everyone quickly realized that the previously exposed photos on the intewere all photoshopped.
The inteerupted into an uproar.
The individuals who posted the photos had different IP addresses, indicating that they were not the sperson. It appeared that many netizens were spontaneously searching for discrepancies in those photos. The posters remained silent, only sharing images. As more people analyzed the situation, the credibility of the previous photos began to diminish, and the tide started to turn in favor of Gwendolyn.
Gwendolyn's manager, Steven, released sof her report cards and awards in due course. Steven was experienced enough to know not to explain. More explanations could make it worse. Instead, he highlighted Gwendolyn's positive achievements alongside the controversial materials.
Then, those individuals who claimed to be Gwendolyn's boyfriends were also exposed by netizens.

Even respected veteran actors cforward in support of Gwendolyn, advising her to focus on her own path and not worry about baseless accusations.
There was an uproar among the public.
The power of the intewas terrible. Before long, netizens found themselves embroiled in a heated debate. Gwendolyn remained silent. Initially, her silence was interpreted as agreement with the accusations.
2/5 20:34 Sat, 29 Jun Chapter 55 Right then, more and more people speculated that Gwendolyn's silence stemmed from her reluctance to address the matter or perhaps from the overwhelming sadness she felt about the situation.
Only Isabella knew that Gwendolyn remained unfazed by all the commotion, so she wasn't worried. However, her manager, Steven, was visibly distressed that his hair had even started to turn gray. Meanwhile, Isabella worked hard throughout the day and defended Gwendolyn at night.
Gwendolyn was quite blessed..
Someone had actually found her parents because someone attacked her for allegedly not getting along with her parents and being unfilial, attempting to slander her.
To Isabella's surprise, Gwendolyn's father, Bernard, a professor from University of Moulmore, responded with a cold expression during the interview. "I believe in my daughter's character. She wouldn't stoop to such low tactics. We reserve the right to legally hold accountable those who spread rumors. My daughter doesn't owe anyone an explanation. It's enough that she has parents who trust her and friends who support her sincerely!" Isabella was moved to tears and immediately called Gwendolyn, "Gwen, have you seen Mr. Carey's interview?" "Yes."Gwendolyn's voice sounded nasal.
"Are you crying? Gwen, are you also moved by Mr. Carey's words? Don't worry-once this matter is resolved, I'll accompany you to go hand apologize to him," Isabella said.
"Okay! As you suggested, I will kneel until my father is no longer angry," Gwendolyn replied.
"Well, send them a text message first. You can't go back now, but you know they are supportive of you. You need to contact them first, okay?" Isabella advised Gwendolyn, Gwendolyn agreed.
Putting down the phone, Isabella stretched herself and sighed. "Mr. Carey is such a good father! Gwen is so lucky to have such good parents who love her!" Clayton affectionately caressed her head. Isabella had always longed for fatherly love but could never attain it. 'It doesn't matter. I will love her even more. W Withby her side, she won't need anyone else, Clayton remarked silently.
Clayton had made a great recovery over the past two days. Before going to work every day, Isabella would prepare food for the three of them and remind Kayson and Weston what food they should give to Clayton.
Meanwhile, she would go to work as usual. Then, she would replace Kayson and Weston after work and deal with Gwendolyn's cyber battlefield afterward.
That day, Isabella finished everything and turned on the computer to surf the internet.
"Huh?" Her eyes widened.
"What's wrong?" Clayton, who was leaning against the bed and reading, looked up at her.
Isabella brought the laptop to Clayton and pointed at the screen. "Someone posted a full video of Gwen and Mabel's argument. It's odd. How could anyone have such a complete and high-definition video?" 20:34 Sat, 29 Jun Chapter 55 G Clayton watched the video with her and asked, "What was Ms. Carey doing when they quarreled that day?" "She was shooting. Mabel..." Isabella suddenly realized something.
"Clayton, the camera that day should have recorded what happened at that time, right? Isabella excitedly grabbed Clayton's arm.
Clayton smiled.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIsabella pouted. "Then, why didn't they release the video earlier and wait for so many days? It's so foolish." Clayton patted her hand and said, "You don't have to worry about this anymore. Victor should be back." "Oh? You mean Victor asked the director for this clip?" Isabella asked.
Clayton nodded. "There could be several reasons why the directors didn't share the clip immediately. But there's only one reason they'd share it now. It's because Victor is back. Did the opposing actress not know that Victor was the investor? She'll soon feel Victor's wrath. I doubt she can continue her career as an actress." His tone was flat.
Victor was never a good man to be with.
Victor was furious when he learned that Clayton and Coles were injured.
He must be seething while dealing with h the aftermath in Atharia. Then, this incident happened right after he returned to the country, providing a perfect outlet for him to vent his anger. Clayton thought to himself, 'At least, Mrs. Murray won't be bothered anymore. She seems quite busy these days.
Not only does she have to take care ofand Gwendolyn, but she also has to go to work. She must be very tired. I really feel sorry for her." Isabella stuck out her tongue and said, "Is he that scary?" "You should wait and see." Clayton reached into Isabella's shirt.
She was startled. "Clayton!" Clayton looked at her innocently.
ed at he Isabella blushed and said, "You haven't healed yet." Clayton raised his eyebrows and said, "So, I can do it after I recover?" Isabella turned her head and ignored him.
Clayton chuckled. He liked to tease Isabella and watch her reaction.
As Clayton had pointed out, Gwendolyn's rumor reached another climax.
This time, Gwendolyn was surprised.
She called Isabella. "Isabella, you're amazing. How did you get those directors to apologize? Did you ask Clayton for help? Is that a good idea? Do I owe him a big favor now?" Isabella smiled at Clayton, who was listening carefully. "Gwen, it's notthis time. I can hack their computers, but i can't force them to 4/5 20:34 Sat, 29 Jun G.
Chapter 55 apologize."
"What's going on? First, the complete video was released, followed by the apology video of those directors Those cleared up my name. Originally, Steven has also prepared svideos about my charity and wanted to post them on the internet, but now, he no longer needs to do anything." Isabella thought for a while and said, "It's not right. One more person has been left out of the equation. Where is that woman? What about the culprit?" Gwendolyn chortled and said, "Forget about her. Anyway, it's almost over. She will soon find her future quite bleak. My dad always toldthat a clear conscience needs no explanation. Steven and I are very satisfied with how things have turned out."
