The woman in sunglasses was fuming, but the security guards blocked her firmly inside the store.
Anneliese walked out and glanced back. Something about that woman seemed off, almost like she had gone after her on purpose. But she didn’t know that woman at all–maybe she was just overthinking it.
What Anneliese didn’t expect was that before she even got back to Maple Bay, she had gone viral.
“Huh?” Zion let out a startled exclamation in the Maybach’s passenger seat, then passed his tablet to the man seated at the back. “Mr. Fullbuster, look at this–is this Ms. Claude? She’s gone viral.”
Jonathan lowered his eyes to take a look.
‘Patek Philippe Store Scam‘
What kind of nonsense is this? Jonathan tapped the trending post with a frown, while Zion eagerly pointed the way. “Mr. Fullbuster, just play that clip. Ms. Claude was incredible–she stunned the entire place!”
Jonathan opened the video. It was shaky, clearly taken in secret, only catching Anneliese’s back. But the sound was sharp and clear, and near the end, the camera caught a fleeting glimpse of her breathtaking profile. Even from the back alone, Jonathan had no trouble recognizing her.
When he finished watching, he scrolled down through the comments.
‘OMG! Who is this girl with both beauty and brains? I need answers in three seconds!‘
‘D*mn, is this what they meant by “master math and science and you can go anywhere“?‘
‘You need a high IQ now to deal with scams?! Guess I’ll just stay home.’
‘What were those formulas? Someone explain?
‘Has anyone compiled notes yet? Hurry up! I’m gonna memorize them in case I run into a scammer.
‘Smart and gorgeous–my absolute dream girl!‘
‘My mom asked why I was kneeling in front of my phone. It’s because my wife is too beautiful–I’m worshiping her!‘
‘Wifey! My long–lost wife! I’ve finally found you!‘
Is my wife from a university? Everf blurred, her beauty still shines–at least campus queen level!
Jonathan’s brows furrowed tighter. “Are men online always this shameless?”
Calling her ‘wife‘ one after another! Who the hell do they think they are? She’s not their wife! She’ll only ever be my wife, no one else’s.
Zion’s lips twitched. His boss‘ jealousy was practically dripping. “Sir, not everyone calling her ‘wife‘ is a guy. Nowadays, even young women like to call someone like Ms. Claude–independent, sharp, and gorgeous-

their wife.”
“That’s even worse!” Jonathan shot back.
Zion fell silent. Why did I bother explaining at all…
“Mr. Fullbuster, do you want me to pull her off the trending list?”
“She earned her way on, why would I? Just keep an eye on public opinion. Anything that shouldn’t appear -make sure it doesn’t.” Jonathan’s orders were clear.
Zion immediately understood. That meant shutting down accusations that Anneliese was staging the whole thing or rumors about plastic surgery. Most importantly, no digging into her background.
Still, he hesitated for a moment before asking carefully, “What about the posts calling Ms. Claude their wife? Do those count as things that shouldn’t appear?”
Jonathan shot him an exasperated look. “What do you think?”
As if I’d waste time arguing with clueless netizens.
Zion chuckled awkwardly, pretending he hadn’t noticed his boss sulking just a moment ago. “By the way, I think Ms. Claude was buying a men’s watch. I wonder who she plans to give it to.”
Jonathan’s lips curved faintly. A thought and a hope stirred in his chest.
When Selina saw the viral news, she not only recognized Anneliese but also recognized the woman in sunglasses. Her expression darkened instantly, and she rushed to find a private corner to call Mikita.
The moment the call connected, her voice trembled with anger. “Mom! What the hell were you thinking, making a scene with Anneliese in public? She’s gone viral now–do you realize what a mess you’ve caused
for me?”
At that moment, Mikita had just left the mall and was on her way back to her villa in the suburbs. She had ended up buying the watch, leaving it at the store for repairs, and was still fuming.
Hearing Selina’s scolding, she responded with wounded indignation. “Your uncle tanked two of White Inc’s major projects, and your father has been taking it out on me ever since–he hasn’t even been coming
over
“I just wanted to buy a good watch to smooth things over with him. Who would’ve thought I’d run straight into that little tramp? The moment I saw her, I remembered all the suffering she put you through, and I just couldn’t hold myself back from teaching her a lesson!”
