“You’re bome early today,” Wilbur said,
Faye chuckled. “The situation’s gotten out of hand.”
“What’s the matter?”
“That girl’s pulling tricks, claiming that we’re threatening her. The internet’s brimming with rumors that Cape International is abusing our power, and everyone’s out to track down who you are.”
Wilbur frowned. He had not expected things to get out of hand like this
“Isn’t this a little too much? Is she really not afraid of the consequences this might bring for her?” Wilbur asked.
Faye smiled. “There are some people these days who will do anything for fame. The second they replace your identity, you’re going to be bombarded with a slew of hate and death threats.”
“Is there a pond way to settle this?” Wilbur frowned.
Faye said, “Yes. We could let the traffic police settle this and have them release the full footage of what happened during the accident to settle the misunderstanding. Sherry Divos would be arrested too, but…”
“But what?”
Faye frowned. “Some of these netizens aren’t even concerned about the truth anymore. This is just another excuse for them to spread more rampant hatred on the internet. They’ll believe whatever they want. The hate might not stop even after the truth’s been revealed.”
“Ah.” Wilbur responded, pondering. “Yeah. It doesn’t really seem right to do that either. Arresting a young lady over some false accusations might be a little too much. Any other methods?”
“Are you seriously still thinking about the girl’s account? She did all of this just to get a couple of clicks. She doesn’t care about you at all.”
Wilbur said, “Yes, but it’s not that big of a deal, is it?”
“You really don’t know how terrifying the internet is,” Faye lamented, shaking her head. “Countless celebrities and authoritative members have met their downfall just because of the internet.”
“I mean, I’ve got nothing to hide. What do I have to be afraid of?” Wilbur asked.
Faye said, “These netizens could just make things up about you that could seriously damage your reputation. Besides, you’re even friends with people like Faron Campbell and the like. Things could get really, really ugly.”
Wilbur fell silent ar last, thinking deeply,
Bringing Faron into this would be bad. Faron could not afford to have his name tarnished.
“Was there a camera on the car Jose and I were in?” Wilbur asked.
Faye shook her head. “The car belongs to Cape International. We didn’t put any cameras in it for privacy purposes.”
“Well, there’s no choice but to let the traffic police get the real footage, then,” Wilbur said
Faye nodded,
Wilbur paused, before saying, “How about this? I’ll let Elsa make a trip to the traffic police department to get them to hand over the complete footage, and you can go through it with her. Maybe post a statement online or something. Once the full video comes out, the rumors will be cleared up at once. As for the netizens that refuse to believe it… We’ll just let them be, 1 suppose.”
“What about the girl?” Faye asked.
Wilbur said, “Once the footage is posted and the backlash has calmed down, jast have the traffic police Issue a warning to her. It’s a little much to send a young lady to jail over something like this.”

“Alright. You really are far too nice of a person,” Faye said.
Wilbur shook his head with a pained smile. He took out his phone and made a call to Elsa,
…
2/2
Over in the CEO’s office at Joy Corp.
CEO Kim Jenlans leaned back in her office chair, listening to the report.
“We’ve followed your orders and sent someone to destroy the original footage on Sherry Divos” car. It’s only available on her phone’s cloud storage now.”
“Very well.”
Kim was a woman in her thirties, radiating an air of maturity and charm. She smiled demurely, taking a drag from her cigarette.
“Send someone to the hospital and pay that girl a load of money so she’ll delete the original footage from her phone. Hire some bots to keep the buzz on the news. The bigger it gets, the better.”
“What if Sherry Divos refuses to do that, Miss Jenkins? her a**istant asked.
