?Chapter 1462:


    “Ma’am, I really don’t know anything,” he begged over the phone. “The video was sent to us anonymously. I’m just an employee trying to survive by posting trending content. Please, let me off.”


    Sharon’s patience snapped. “Trying to survive? Did it ever cross your mind that cyberbullying ruins people’s lives? Fine. If you won’t meet me, I’lle to yourpany myself.”


    True to form, Sharon ended the chat and went straight there, not even telling Josie.


    With William’s statement causing chaos, marketing firms were scrambling to delete their articles, fearing litigation from Briggs Group.


    When Sharon arrived, the office was inplete disarray, people rushing back and forth with pale faces.


    She walked straight to the boss’s office and knocked once before pushing the door open. “I want to know who gave you the video and the photos.”


    The boss wiped sweat from his forehead, eyeing Sharon’s confident, aggressive presence. “Did… did Mr. Briggs send you?”


    Sharon lifted her chin slightly. “Of course. Briggs Group is collecting evidence. If you don’t cooperate, yourpany’s name will be on that demand letter.”


    That was more than enough. It was a smallpany. They couldn’t afford to offend William.


    The boss quickly pulled up the backend records and handed them over.


    Sharon scanned them, copied the contact details and IP address tied to the anonymous sender, then left as briskly as she’d arrived.


    Everything Ste had asked her to investigate had alreadye back with clear results. Haley was still overseas. Charis hadn’t been in contact with anyone suspicious recently.


    That left only one person.

    Nina.


    Sharon discovered that Nina had gone to the same hospital as Ste on the same day. Not the same department, though. Nina had been to psychiatry, picking up medication for sleep issues.


    Sharon stared at the screen for a long moment. Nina was starting to look more and more suspicious.


    Out of habit, she opened social media again and immediately saw Nina’s repost of Briggs Group’s statement, paired with a carefully worded show of faith in Ste.


    It was too neat, too timely. All the signs lined up far too well.


    That evening, Tasha called Ste downstairs for dinner. William was already seated across the table, his expression unreadable.


    Just as they were about to eat, the doorbell rang.


    Sharon and Josie stood outside, shoulder to shoulder. Sharon smiled brightly. “Stel, our ce isn’t ready yet. Mind if we eat here tonight?”


    Ste nced back instinctively at William. She could tell they hadn’te just for food.


    “Can theye in? I promise they’ll behave.”


    She looked at him withrge, pleading eyes.
