People understood that no one from the upper ss would risk their own reputation just to fabricate a story against someone else, especially given the social stakes involved.


    However, a few opportunists attempted to jump on the bandwagon, pretending to be victims to garner attention and support.


    These impostors were quickly exposed byizens who had begun noticing a clear pattern in Tyler Lennon’s choice of targets.


    His victims were always the only child of wealthy families, specifically heiresses from at least the upper-middle ss, whose status or assets could bring significant benefits to the Lennons.


    If someone didn’t fit that profile, Tyler wouldn’t have targeted them, making false ims easy to discredit.


    Those attempting to ride on the coattails of genuine victims eventually stopped, as the growing number of credible cases began to overshadow any false ims.


    The exposure not only highlighted the victims brought forward by Terry but also those supported by Gerald.


    Gerald’s involvement was particrly impactful, as he promised to help these families recover with the backing of the Avery family’s connections and investments.


    This offer was too good to pass up, especially for families who had been drained of resources and wealth by the Lennons’ maniptive schemes.


    For them, this was a chance to rebuild their lives and businesses while holding the Lennons ountable for their actions.


    For these families, it was a rare win-win opportunity, even if it meant enduring a little more hardship.


    However, the situation escted further when Athena, who had been biding her time to exact revenge on the Lennons for offending her and Hera, seized the moment to intensify the bacsh.


    Her efforts poured fuel on the fire, amplifying the growing storm against the Lennons.


    [Athena_Lowery: I can’t believe my family once considered that guy to be decent enough to set up a blind date at his family’s request. Looking back, I shudder at how close I came to being one of his victims.]


    [Athena_Lowery: If it weren’t for my best friend, @Hera_A, and her suitor, @NorthernDuke, I might have fallen into his disgusting trap. By sheer luck, the drugged wine meant for me was mistakenly served to them instead.]


    [Athena_Lowery: Thankfully, the men around Hera were trustworthy and acted immediately, rushing them to the hospital. If it had been me in their ce... I can’t even begin to imagine what could have happened. Hu hu hu.]


    [Athena_Lowery: I can’t believe I almost fell for his ims of being a gentleman who would never hurt a woman. He even had the audacity to tell me he was "innocent" and had never been in a rtionship before. What a maniptive fraud...]


    [Athena_Lowery: (p〒д〒q)]


    Athena’s reminder of what happened to Hera and Leo during that incident helpedizens piece together the full story.


    They began connecting the dots about why Hera was seen in the hospital with her suitors, who the intended target of the drugging was, and who ultimately fell victim.


    This revtion sealed the Lennons’ fate—no amount of exnation could sway public opinion anymore.


    Among the online users, Hera’s fans were the most outraged, fiercely protective of her like tigers defending their cub.


    The Lennons’ stocks were plummeting asizensunched a widespread boycott against them.


    Then, Dave released the evidence provided by Luke—a receipt of the cheaper herb transaction and a recording exposing the Lennons’ scheme.


    The recording revealed that they had been purchasing cheap alternative herbs while requesting receipts for expensive ones to maintain a spotless public ount.


    However, Luke had preserved the original records of the transaction and the actual items received, ensuring the Lennons couldn’t escape ountability, no matter how much they denied involvement.


    Meanwhile, Zhane’s distant uncle-inw, who had been implicated in simr shady dealings, faced equally severe repercussions.


    Despite his attempt to flee, Zhane had been monitoring him closely, and he was swiftly captured. The walls were closing in on the Lennons from every direction.


    Fortunately, his aunt provided the critical documents needed to incriminate his uncle-inw—the original financial records that he had been secretly keeping as the procurement manager.


    These records served as undeniable proof of his misconduct, sealing his fate.


    Now, after discovering that not only had he lost all his wealth, but also faced imminent jail time, his mistress abandoned him, taking thest of his money and leaving him to face the consequences alone.


    It was only then that he truly realized the depth of his mistakes—betraying his wife and seeking pleasure elsewhere had led him to nothing but ruin, leaving him to rot in the gutter.


    Now, the Lennons were under attack from all directions, with nowhere left to hide.


    Their business partners began to distance themselves, ignoring their desperate calls for help and pretending they never knew the Lennons, fearing they would be tainted by association.


    As a result, the Lennons were left isted, stranded on their own metaphorical deserted ind.


    It didn’t take long for the Lennons topletely crumble from their pedestal.


    Hera, observing from the sidelines, received detailed reports from Gerald outlining the fall of the Lennons.


    Incredibly, it happened so quickly—within a matter of hours, their empire copsed.


    They went bankrupt, the fastest corporate downfall ever recorded in history, a testament to how swiftly their power and influence disintegrated.
