Serena cautiously suggested, “Just release Darnell’s chat history with that girl, saying she’s twisting the truth…”
“Useless.”
Caspar spoke with an indifferent tone.
Darnell chuckled helplessly and then continued with what Caspar was saying.
“The wind is blowing in one direction now, that girl says something, and everyone believes it online, she might even say we faked the chat records.”
Caspar nodded.
“Besides, we couldn’t even produce the most crucial monitoring data. If we show up now, it will only make things worse.”
The sky outside the window was getting darker and darker.
Andrea looked at herself reflected in the glass, her face looking
terrible.
She remembered what Quinn said when she got off the car in the afternoon, “Feel free to reach out to me anytime.” Her finger hesitated on the contact list, but in the end, she locked her phone.
Caspar silently watched her movements beside her, his eyes filled with complexity.
“Let’s call it a day for now.”

The employees left one by one, but Caspar just leaned against the table without moving.
With long fingers, he twirled the pen, the metal cap making a rhythmic tapping in his palm.
“Why haven’t you left yet?”
Andrea turned to look at him, meeting Caspar’s intense gaze.
The last ray of dusk brushed past his high nose, casting a dark shadow in his eyes.
Caspar spoke in a hoarse voice.
“I think it’s better to stay with you.”
He got up and walked to the water dispenser, poured a cup of warm water and gently pushed it in front of her.
“You haven’t even had a sip of water since you came in.”
Andrea suddenly realized her throat was already dry.
She took a sip of water while holding the cup, her eyes unfocused.
“Don’t blame yourself, you did a great job, some things are just out of your control.”
Caspar suddenly spoke out of the blue.
Andrea snapped out of it, rare smile on her face.

“You little brat, now you’re trying to comfort me.”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. I can handle this, and the gallery will be fine
too.”
Caspar gave her a deep look and whispered hoarsely.
“I’m not a kid.”
Andrea didn’t catch that, “What?”
“Nothing.”
“Alright, you should go back too. I’m waiting for my fiance to pick me up.”
Caspar’s eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, and in the end, he could only leave unwillingly.
In the empty office, only Andrea was left.
She sat in the dark, staring at the jumbled code flashing on the computer screen, feeling powerless for the first time.
No monitoring, no evidence, faced with overwhelming accusations, they were like a small boat trapped in a storm, not knowing how to break free.
On the other side, college dorm.
The girl in a nightgown was curled up in bed, tapping her manicured nails on the phone screen in a rapid rhythm.
She opened the transfer details, held her breath counting how many zeros, and smiled triumphantly at her phone.
After receiving the payment, she quickly took a screenshot of the

balance and saved it in her album.
Those numbers were enough for her to buy the limited–edition bag she had been eyeing for a long time.
Her fingertips danced on the keyboard as she sent the final message.
“Mr. Shillingford, more and more people online are speaking up for me, the gallery couldn’t handle it anymore.”
