?Chapter 103:


    It was Neil who was calling.


    Lise answered immediately.


    Neil’s voice was icy as he said, “Lise, take a look at the news. It’s about your family.”


    Jeff and Sharon, who were nearby, overheard the conversation. All three were shocked.


    What could possibly have happened now? What more could unfold for the Bailey family? Hadn’t all their secrets already been revealed to the public?


    Suddenly, Lise’s eyes widened, her heart raced. She wondered if the incident involving Jeff’s mistress had been exposed.


    Gripping her phone tightly, sheposed herself and said, “Neil, I need to go. I will contact youter.”


    Neil responded gravely, “I’ve done my best to help, but this has already attracted a lot of attention fromizens. You should make a statement on social media quickly.”


    “Understood,” Lise replied.


    After ending the call, Lise quickly checked the trending news. Sharon and Jeff did the same. Upon seeing the online tags, it was clear.


    Lise’s suspicion was confirmed. The footage of them confronting Jeff’s mistress had gone viral.


    The video quality was so high that every detail was visible, and their voices were clear. It was obvious that the person who recorded it had been close by.


    Holding her phone tightly, Lise couldn’t help but remember something she had noticed earlier.

    A woman who resembled Katelyn had been in the car. Lise wondered if Katelyn might be behind this.


    At the same time, Katelyn sneezed as she pulled into a parking spot beneath the inpatient building.


    She absentmindedly rubbed her nose, grabbed the lunch bag from the passenger seat, and headed directly to Vincent’s room.


    To her surprise, the room was empty.


    Even Vincent’s personal items were missing. With a puzzled frown, Katelyn wondered where Vincent might have gone.


    Just then, a nurse happened to pass by the ward. Katelyn stopped her and asked, “Excuse me, could you tell me where the patient from this ward is?”


    The nurse rang the bell and said, “Are you referring to Mr. Adams? He checked out this morning.”


    Katelyn’s frown deepened. Checked out? Why hadn’t Vincent informed her about this?


    Yet, she quickly epted that it was likely to be expected. They were simply business partners. He was even temporarily in a supervisory role over her, so he wasn’t required to keep her informed about his movements. They weren’t exactly friends, after all.


    Regaining herposure, Katelyn thanked the nurse with a nod and left the hospital.


    Once she got home, Katelyn turned on her phone to review the public reaction to the Bailey family’s scandal. To her surprise, many posts were being deleted and reported. Some trolls were even manipting thement trends.


    Katelyn narrowed her eyes, realizing that the Bailey family must have taken some action.


    Despite the Bailey family’s tarnished public image, they still held considerable influence. Moreover, the rapid removal of news articles and video clips indicated that the Wheeler family might be involved.


    In no time, all references to the Bailey family’s scandals vanished. The names of Jeff, Sharon, and Lise led curious inte users nowhere.


    Katelyn ced her hand firmly on the desk, her eyes gleaming darkly.


    Lise thought she could control the public’s reaction by having the posts removed. It was a sign of her naivety. She was overly na?ve.


    Each video clip had been watched millions of times, and everyone online knew what had transpired. Removing them now seemed like an attempt to ignore the problem.


    At the Bailey residence, Lise finally seemed to see where the scandal had gone and breathed a sigh of relief. The issue seemed to be under control.


    She was convinced that her parents would recognize her capabilities through this situation and finally allow her to take the lead.


    As she pondered, her phone suddenly pinged with a new message. Startled, Lise sprang to her feet.
