?Chapter 240:


    Katelyn and Aimee, through their actions, demonstrated to everyone that true friendship was just as precious.


    Lise was boiling with anger, her teeth gritted in frustration. If stares had the power to destroy, Katelyn would have been nothing more than a pile of dust. That detestable traitor! Lise fumed silently.


    Katelyn shifted her gaze to Lise, her eyes going from warm to icy cold. “Lise, this matter is resolved, but there is another we need to discuss.”


    Lise’s heart skipped a beat, and dread flooded over her. What more could Katelyn have on her?


    These words also captured the attention of everyone around them.


    Katelyn locked eyes with Lise, enunciating each word distinctly. “You had someone shadow me and secretly record my private life, then maliciously edited the footage to stir up online harassment against Vincent and me, using us of having an illicit affair.”


    Lise’s eyes narrowed, suddenly too nervous to meet Katelyn’s stare. She faltered, her voice tinged with disbelief.


    “What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”


    “You always have to learn the hard way.”


    Katelyn’s expression was frosty. She had expected Lise’s denial and chose this moment to reveal her misconduct.


    While public opinion could be managedter, if the initial reaction was strong enough, even the most powerful PR team couldn’t do anything about it.


    As Katelyn spoke, therge screen behind her shifted again. It showed a man, his face obscured.


    Although his features were hidden, his voice was clear. “I was paid by Lise Bailey to secretly record Katelyn’s private life and deliverpromising material. Themunications were through emails, and I can provide all records of our transactions and the emails exchanged. I am ready to assume full responsibility for my statements.”


    ???????? ????????????????: g???????ν?????????????


    This revtion stunned everyone present.


    Vincent also nced at the screen, his expression growing stern.


    He and Samuel looked into the matter, uncovering some details with additional clues.


    It appeared there was more than one person involved in tracking Katelyn. Another individual was using much more sophisticated tactics, possibly linked to an international organization known for its covert operations. Samuel had spent a week following these clues but had yet to identify the mastermind.


    Given the seriousness of these activities, Vincent had chosen not to tell Katelyn about them yet. He nned to inform her once he had more definitive information.


    The release of this video made it clear why any public interaction between Katelyn and Vincent attracted such heavy media and public attention. Even their casual dinners were often misconstrued by the media. In contrast, despite frequent public outings and affectionate disys between Neil and Lise, these events barely caught the media’s eye.


    The underlying problem was exposed—Lise had been manipting public opinion to damage Katelyn’s and Vincent’s reputations.


    Neil’s expression showed his shock. He was taken aback that Lise had never discussed such a crucial issue with him. Lise quickly interjected, “I’ve never done any of these things. This is just malicious nder. Katelyn, if you keep making these groundless ims, I will definitely sue you.”


    A hint of irony shed in Katelyn’s eyes. She had shed with Lise many times, yet Lise still hadn’t grasped her approach and style. Without solid and precise evidence, Katelyn wouldn’t have yed her hand.


    “In that case, let’s look at more tangible proof.”


    The screen shifted again, now showing a series of transaction records. Each video captured of Katelynted a payout of fifty thousand dors from Lise.


    Although Lise had attempted to obscure her identity in these transactions, how could she possibly escape the scrutiny of a skilled hacker?
