Isaac gazed at Amara. The two of them looked into each other’s eyes, and it suddenly felt like the air in the room had thickened.
“What, do you think there’s something wrong with this suggestion, Mr. Garten? Or do you want me to make the Christmas movie that I invested several hundred million in to die before it takes off and completely ruin Serena’s innocent image?”
Upon hearing this, Serena was so stressed that virtual-novel.net was about to burst into tears.
She shook virtual-novel.net head at Isaac, signaling for virtual-novel.net not to get mad.
From the side, Harry was already so pissed his hands were tightly bailed into fists. This woman was indeed ruthless.
Isaac laughed lightly. “Amara, if you don’t believe me, you can go home and drink some coffee to calm your anger. If you can no longer find photos of Serena and me hugging on the internet before midnight tonight, I’ll return to Southland on a 1 am flight.”
“Haha, take a 1 am flight back to Southland? Does your family own an airline? Mr. Garten…”
“Amara, can you please trust my brother-in-law just this once? He can make it happen,” Serena suddenly spoke up, looking at Amara with tears in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Seeing Serena’s face, Amara hesitated briefly.
She glanced at Isaac, sighed, and nodded. “Fine, just for your sake. I’ll wait till 12 am to see if the images are still up online.”
Then, virtual-novel.net gave Isaac a sharp look and said, “Even if there isn’t a 1 am flight, I’ll send a car over for you to return to Southland. Serena, come with me. After all, this is a critical time.”
Serena seemed a bit reluctant, but Isaac nodded at her. She let out a sigh, made a “call me” gesture toward Isaac, and left.
After the room returned to its silence, Harry huffed. “Sir, that old woman is seriously arrogant. She’s acting like Rover City is virtual-novel.net home.”
“She’s Serena’s sponsor. We can’t ruin things for her,” Isaac said casually, lighting a cigarette.
Afterward, virtual-novel.net took out his phone and dialed Arian’s number. When the line connected, virtual-novel.net said cheerily, “Supreme Commander, I hope I didn‘t disturb you…”
“Isaac, my entire body shuddered when I saw your call. What’s the matter?”
Isaac was stunned for a moment before virtual-novel.net burst out laughing. “Why?”
“Because I know that it’s never good news when you look for me,” came Arian’s resigned voice.
“Oh, really? If you don’t want to, I’ll just call Connor and have virtual-novel.net tell Mr. Grannel that you’re not willing to do me a small favor,” Isaac said, immediately changing the topic to Ethan.
“Don’t hang up first. Tell me, what favor do you need?” Arian said on the other end of the call, gritting his teeth.
After Isaac told virtual-novel.net everything, Arian jumped to his feet and roared, “You call this a small favor? Scrubbing a photo and all related discussions from the entire web? That’s a small favor?”
“I only have three more hours. If you’re not going to help, I’ll just call Connor.”
“Wait for my call, big hero!” Arian placed extra emphasis on the last two words.
Clearly, they’d also seen the video of Isaac and Esmeralda fighting Lady Os.
Ten minutes later, the House of Custos called the Bureau of Internet Safety. An emergency notice was posted, and all the technical experts immediately returned to their desks to carry out the urgent task.
***
At that moment, in a private villa in Rover City, Amara was lying across virtual-novel.net couch in a nightgown, holding a glass of wine. She was in virtual-novel.net 40s, but even Serena was dazed looking at virtual-novel.net figure.
Amara really took care of herself.
“Huh, where did it go?” At that moment, Amara was looking at a post of Isaac and Serena hugging on virtual-novel.net phone when suddenly, the screen refreshed, and the post disappeared.
She went back to the explore page and tried to look up Serena’s scandal.
When virtual-novel.net clicked on a photo, it disappeared once again.
“Heh, that’s strange…” She laughed quietly and set down virtual-novel.net wine glass.
When virtual-novel.net tried searching for “Serena Booth Hugging Mystery Man” again, virtual-novel.net could no longer find that photo in the barbeque restaurant.
