Chapter 451: Chapter 451: Do It Yourself for a Well-Off Life
Inside the room.
Lewis Harper and Dexter Bolt stood leaning against the corner of the wall, their eyes fixed intently on Scarlett Jennings sitting on the small sofa.
Scarlett Jennings didn’t want to waste time with them, so she got straight to the point,
"You must have seen the trending topic on the internet, right?"
She spoke, and seeing the bewilderment flash in their eyes, looked at the phone smashed on the ground, hesitated for a moment, then simply stepped forward to open the trending page on the computer and turned the screen toward the two of them.
Under Scarlett Jennings’ control, the normally uncontrollable computer obeyed exceptionally well. Soon, the two saw their photos and those screenshots from earlier on the computer screen.
Both Lewis Harper and Dexter Bolt were too preoccupied with fear to notice, and rushed forward to check the trending content. The more they searched, the darker their faces became.
Lewis Harper’s face was particularly pale.
Because he saw his personal information and the clarifications from Selene Wright online.
His secret had indeed been exposed.
He was truly finished.
Thinking of this, Lewis Harper glared at Scarlett Jennings with resentment,
"Was it you... you did this..."
"Let’s say it was me."
Scarlett Jennings was unmoved by Lewis Harper’s gaze and simply said,
"Regarding tonight’s events, the Security Bureau will soon issue a statement, but to prevent the situation from escalating further, the trending topics need to be removed."
As she spoke, she looked at Dexter Bolt, suddenly serious, "So, you better get to work."
Lewis Harper was taken aback by Scarlett Jennings’s sudden shift, and Dexter Bolt instinctively pointed to himself, "Me?"
Scarlett Jennings nodded,
"Weren’t you the one who helped him get the trending topics to attack me online? Since you have the means, you can take them down yourself."
Lewis Harper’s cheek muscle involuntarily twitched, and his face immediately turned grim, "This mess was caused by you, shouldn’t you be responsible?!"
With the Jennings Family’s resources, taking down a trending topic shouldn’t be a problem, right? Why did she have to make things difficult for them?
Scarlett Jennings looked at Lewis Harper with cold, indifferent eyes,
"That’s why I’m taking responsibility now."
Her way of taking responsibility was to make the people involved handle it themselves.
Although a call to Donovan Jennings could quickly take down the trending topic.
But...
Since they started this mess, why should she have to pay for it?
Doing it yourself is the best way to go.
"You can also choose to do nothing, since once the Security Bureau issues a statement, the public will discuss it for a few days, and then the matter will die down soon after."
Scarlett Jennings’s expression showed she didn’t care whether they took action or not.
Lewis Harper and Dexter Bolt had no other choice.
Since it concerned them, they didn’t have the time to waste.
After the chat screenshots were exposed, they were bound to be criticized by the entire internet.
Yes, both of them.
Dexter Bolt was also in that PUA group.
Reluctantly, the two began to work at the computer, with Lewis Harper spending money to remove the trending topics and purchasing a few new trending topics instead, while Dexter Bolt focused the heat on the new topics.
They worked chaotically for over an hour.
Finally, the online attention on them began to drop.
Just then, the doorbell rang again.
Scarlett Jennings raised her hand calmly, "Oh, it’s the person I called."
Getting up, she went to open the door.
Lewis Harper and Dexter Bolt noticed her attitude and figured she understood the situation.
Realizing the scares they had faced and the work they had to do for so long, she even called them some takeout.
Because Scarlett Jennings hadn’t shown any anger or blame towards them since her arrival, they subconsciously chose to forget the ’ghost’ incident earlier, believing this was her way of burying the hatchet.
Lewis Harper thought about the money he just spent and felt a little pained, but seeing Scarlett Jennings seemed reasonable, he planned to ask her to persuade her cousin later to waive Fiona Harper’s two million.
He was thinking this when Scarlett Jennings had already opened the door.
The next moment, a group of uniformed officers rushed in, swiftly subduing the two.
Lewis Harper and Dexter Bolt couldn’t even comprehend what was happening.
What about the late-night snack?
"Did you call the police?!"
Lewis Harper was incredulous.
She caused this mess, yet she dared to call the police!
"Behave!"
A nearby officer sternly ordered, sounding procedural, "Lewis Harper, we received an online report, and now you are suspected of a suicide incitement case. There is chat record evidence, and the victim’s parents have also reported it. We need to take you back for questioning according to the law."
Lewis Harper was dumbfounded.
Only then did he recall the online chat screenshots from earlier, his expression turned to horror again, and he wanted to explain, but the officer just said,
"We will thoroughly investigate the chat screenshots, but we’ll discuss this further at the station."
Seeing Lewis Harper was finished, Dexter Bolt quickly cried out,
"He incited the suicide! It’s got nothing to do with me, officer, even though I was in that group, I didn’t do anything extreme! I didn’t break the law!"
The officer leading the charge was Officer Yuan, who still had an unresolved trafficking case, and Scarlett Jennings had landed another case on him.
Now, he looked at Scarlett Jennings because it was she who reported Dexter Bolt.
Scarlett Jennings turned to Dexter Bolt with cool eyes,
"Are you sure?"
Under her gaze, Dexter Bolt’s heart raced like a drum, but he forced himself to remain calm.
"Of course."
Scarlett Jennings didn’t argue with him, directly turning to Officer Yuan,
"He has a password-protected folder on his computer’s C drive. You’ll know if there’s any crime after you check it."
Hearing her words, Dexter Bolt couldn’t maintain his calm anymore, his face changed, and he tried to dash towards the computer in a bid to destruct evidence.
"Stop him!"
Officer Yuan ordered, and Dexter Bolt was immediately pinned down by a nearby officer.
Officer Yuan went straight to the computer and asked Dexter Bolt for the password.
Dexter Bolt gritted his teeth and said nothing. Scarlett Jennings suddenly spoke up,
"Three zeroes, three ones."
Dexter Bolt shot a terrified look at Scarlett Jennings.
Officer Yuan didn’t have time to ask her how she knew the password. He entered the password, opened the folder, and was met with a series of hidden videos.
One glance, and his expression twisted with complexity.
A nearby officer couldn’t help but glance as well. The next second, he felt like his eyes were tainted.
The secret recordings were all of various men.
There were recordings from toilets, bathrooms, and even... hotels.
As he skimmed through them, he vaguely saw Lewis Harper among them.
Officer Yuan only skimmed through briefly, but it was clear this guy’s crimes wouldn’t go unpunished.
He immediately called for professionals to come over, dismantling Dexter Bolt’s computer as evidence and retrieving those cameras once their locations were confirmed.
As they were taken back to the station, Officer Yuan couldn’t help but cast a complex glance at Scarlett Jennings.
In just one day, she had handed them several big cases.
The workload today alone was equivalent to their usual half-month’s worth.
But undeniably, this young girl had true skills.
"Tonight’s matter has already been connected to higher-ups by the Security Bureau. The rest is up to the police. You should go home and rest tonight."
Officer Yuan spoke as kindly as possible.
Scarlett Jennings, however, didn’t react much, simply nodded obediently and said, "Then I’ll go home now, see you tomorrow."
"Yes, tomorrow..."
Officer Yuan instinctively replied, then suddenly looked at Scarlett Jennings with a nuanced expression.
Wait, are you coming again tomorrow?!
