Chapter 309 Kate woke up one morning, all excited to dive into her social media and see the online storm against Allison. She was expecting to find her followers tearing into Allison, but after scrolling for what felt like ages, there was nothing. No buzz, no trending posts, nada.
Confused, she switched over to Tik Tok only to find a shocking surprise: her account had been permanently banned! What on earth? Panicking, she grabbed her phone to call Shawn for help, only to see several missed calls from him. She quickly called him back.
"Hey, Shawn, I—" she began, but he cut her off, his voice sharp with anger.

Kate was floored. "I..." Shawn didn't hold back. "Allison's law firm has already sent you a cease and desist letter. You're on your own with this one. I'm not getting involved." With that, he hung up, leaving Kate in a daze.
A legal notice? What was happening? She quickly checked online again and spotted the legal notice from Allison's law firm. They were planning to sue her for defamation! In a panic, Kate googled the consequences of defamation and felt her stomach drop. Defamation was serious business-it could even mean jail time. If Allison's firm won, and the court ruled against her, she could end up behind bars. She couldn't just sit and wait for that to happen...
Later, as the workday began, Allison called the police to check on the rescue plan for Lizzy. The officer on duty told her the case was complicated, and coming up with a rescue plan wasn't straightforward. They asked her to hang tight and promised to keep her updated.
Allison hung up, feeling deflated. Soon enough, it was Monday, and she was back at the law firm, taking care of business. The firm was still new, and as the boss, she had to stay on top of things.
A couple of hours into her work, the receptionist knocked on her door.
"Cin." The receptionist popped her head in. "Allison, someone's here to see you." "Okay, I'll be there in a sec." As she entered the meeting room, a familiar figure caught her off guard. The man was dressed in a perfectly tailored charcoal suit that showed off his broad shoulders and narrow waist. Even just his silhouette was captivating.
"What are you doing here?" Allison's expression turned icy. "Mr. Fisher, please don't disrupt my work." Joshua's gaze softened. "Allie, I heard about the whole social media mess. Are you alright?" Allison turned away, her voice cold. "I'm fine, thanks. No need for your concern." Joshua hesitated, then said, "I've talked to the platform. Kate's account is permanently banned now." "Well, thanks for that," Allison replied, still distant.
Joshua was at a loss for words.

As they stepped out of the meeting room, the receptionist approached Allison once more! "Allison, there's En someone else here to see you." "Who is it?" Allison asked.
"Are you Allison?" a man with glasses asked.
Allison nodded, "Yes, that's me. What can I do for you?" "Allie, watch out!" Joshua's voice rang out from behind.
In a flash, Joshua pulled Allison into his just as the man with The Content isom novelenglish.net! glasses threw a cleane liquid towards her face.
