?Chapter 281:


    The official Twitter ount of Riss’ team rarely updated. Thest post had been made in a certain month the year beforest. Yet, due to Riss’ immense poprity, the ount still boasted hundreds of millions of followers and drew significant attention both domestically and internationally.


    Despite it beingte at night and thest update being two years ago, the new post quickly garnered widespread attention and sparked lively discussions.


    The tone of the post was light and somewhat humorous. “Our team has noticed the various rumors circting online over the past few days. The romantic stories you think of are amusing. Thank you all for your attention and affection, but Riss has something to rify.” Below this text was a screenshot of a conversation between Ferris and Riss.


    Ferris said, “Riss, the inte is buzzing with rumors that you’re involved in a love triangle with the super hackers, Bee and Him, and that you’ve had twins with Bee.” Riss responded, “I must rify that I have never had a child. And if I do have one in the future, Bee will certainly not be the father.”


    Following the update, thements section became abuzz with discussions.

    “Riss cleverly used humor to address the recent rumors circting online. She’s never had a child and has no romantic ties to Bee.”


    “That means the feud between Bee and Him was just nonsense, and onlookers took it too seriously. Haa…”


    “Bee and Him are both vying for Dr. Riss’ affection, but unfortunately for them, Riss isn’t interested in either. They just quarreled publicly on the inte. It’s absurd!”


    “Bee and Him have made a spectacle of themselves. Those who made up love stories are even more ridiculous. I almost believed them until Riss spoke up.”


    Reading through thements, Marissa found them amusing and felt a sense of relief. The rumors about Riss, Bee, and Him finally came to a halt. Marissa no longer had to be concerned about them.


    After leaving thements section, Marissa checked the time again. It was quitete, and she felt very tired. She put her phone down and fell asleep with the two children in her arms.


    Meanwhile, Aelfric was unable to sleep. He had been feeling down ever since hisst conversation with Marissa. She had kept her distance, leaving him uncertain whether she was indeed Riss. Yet when she demanded money from him, he feltpelled toply. He had to maintain cordial rtions with her because if she turned out to be Riss, offending her was not an option. What troubled him most was the possibility that she might not be Riss but rather a notorious fool. If that were the case, continuing to treat her respectfully could be humiliating.


    Every time he remembered their exchange, it infuriated him. Caught in this distressing situation, Aelfric received a call from Neil.


    “Aelfric, Derek was attacked and left in the street. We only found out tonight. I’ve taken him to the hospital. He’s badly hurt.”


    “What did you say?” Aelfric was in disbelief. “He’s from the Daniels family and supposed to marry my sister. Who would dare to attack him?”


    “Derek’s still unconscious. We won’t know more until he wakes up,” Neil replied.


    “I’m heading to the hospital now,” Aelfric said firmly.


    After ending the call, he hurried to the hospital. For Aelfric, since Derek was his sister’s fiancé, attacking him was a direct affront to Aelfric himself. He was determined to investigate the matter thoroughly.


    After Aelfric departed, Melinda emerged from a corner. She had overheard Aelfric’s phone conversation. After a moment’s consideration, she discreetly followed him to the hospital.


    Upon arriving at the hospital, Aelfric saw Derek regaining consciousness. Neil immediately asked, “Derek, who did this to you?”
