Chapter 241 "Mila? Mila?" Mila snapped out of her thoughts as the guy on the other end was getting impatient and calling out to her. "Do you want to spill the beans?" "If this gets out, regardless of how much truth there is to it, it'll definitely stir up a storm. The Harvey family might not fall, but they'll be in the spotlight for quite a while." He was a journalist, and particularly one in the entertainment field, always eager for a spectacle.
As long as he could report it, he didn't care who was involved. Truth and evidence didn't hold much weight for him.
Mila's brow furrowed deeply.
She understood the gravity of this missing information and the consequences it could unleash. Yet, she couldn't condone spreading rumors without verifying their authenticity.

"No, from what I've gathered so far, these two have no connection beyond sharing the sfather. They have no interaction or contact whatsoever." No contact? So, Charlotte orchestrating Hugo to demand a million-dollar dowry, landing her in the hospital, and nearly blinding her wasn't likely Giselle's doing? If the source wasn't Giselle, then who could it be? The timing of Charlotte's appearances was too coincidental. Many of the messages were incredibly timely, as if she could find Mila wherever she was.
For two people who didn't know anyone in Kingsford, it was unusually challenging.
There had to be someone else pulling the strings.
But who? A nsuddenly cto Mila's mind, someone who could always track her down and knew her Achilles' heel lay in her family background.
Could it be Lysander? Considering everything he'd done to her in the past, this wasn't beyond his capabilities. She had been reluctant to suspect him before, but remembering how he often used her family background against her, it wasn't impossible.
Mila's grip on her phone tightened.
The guy on the other end was still calling her, urging her about the scoop. Mila pushed her swirling thoughts aside and said, "Letthink about it." She hung up and tapped on her phone a few times, pulling up a programming interface.
Her backup phone was almost identical to the one Lysander had taken from her, complete with pre-installed programming software.
After setting up a secure connection, she contacted a hacker friend and swiftly transferred ten thousand dollars. "I need you to look into something for me. Eight years ago, when Charles went to Baycrest to see Charlotte's mother, what happened between them? And is it confirmed that her falling down the stairs was related to him? I need solid evidence." Unlike her media friend, she couldn't ignore the truth and evidence, recklessly releasing uncertain information.

Even though she clashed with the Harvey family, it wasn't a reason to Masn't fabricate false information. She needed to ensure this was backed by evidence. This level of rumor, if proven false, could lead to detention and administrative penalties, or even jail tin severe cases.
Besides, if this turned out to be true, it would be a criminal case, and the police should be involved.
Given her recent sensitivities around anything jail-related, she wasn't keen on tempting fate.
However, there was one thing she could do.
Mila pondered for a moment.
On her phone's black screen, she typed a long string of green coden creating a virtual account chatbox. She entered Charlotte's phone number and sent a message. "I'm planning to reveal your identity." The response was immediate, as if the other side had been waiting for her message. "What do you mean?"
"Exactly what it sounds like. I know what you want, and I can help you make a splash, publicizing your relationship with Charles."
