+15 BONUS
Neil sat in a meeting at the Xander Group when his phone suddenly buzzed. His face turned serious as he
watched the surveillance footage.
Without hesitation, he stood up and announced, “We’re ending today’s meeting right here!”
He briskly left the room, leaving a group of bewildered executives behind.
As he walked toward his office, Neil dialed Caroline’s number.
Caroline answered, “Hello?”
Neil entered his office, shut the door, and asked urgently, “Are you okay, Carol?
Caroline was surprised that Neil had found out so quickly.
“I’m fine, Neil. How did you find out?” she asked.
“Ty sent it to me. Why didn’t you tell me?” Neil responded,
“Ty?” Caroline was taken aback. “Isn’t Ty at school? How did he reach you without his phone?”
“It’s not a minor matter,” Neil insisted. ‘Besides, with the surveillance cameras there, it would have come
out eventually.”
Caroline reasoned, “Your grandfather can control online information. If you don’t hear it from me, it’ll be
as if it never happened.”
Neil brought up the news on his screen and saw the top trending post: [The Xander Group’s Chairman, Grayson Xander,
Slapped TYC’s CEO Because of This!]
It seemed that Tyler had already made the incident go viral.

Caroline accepted an ice pack from Josie and applied it to her face. “Neil, let Tyler do as he pleases. I’ll
locate the surveillance footage and keep it for future use.”
“It might be too late,” Neil cautioned. “I believe the Xander Group will hold a press conference soon.”
Caroline was bewildered. “What do you mean?”
“Never mind,” Neil said. “Remember to ice the swelling. Journalists will be coming your way soon. I’ll
check on you later.”
Neil ended the call, leaving Caroline puzzled. She turned to her tablet, which Josie handed her. “Look at
this top trending post, Ms. Shenton!”
Upon seeing the title and video clip, Caroline immediately thought, Tyler must be behind this.”
She scrolled through the comments.
[Is the owner of the white car Mr. Xander Sr.’s granddaughter?]
Yes, she’s the one involved in that cheating scandal with Mr. Jordan, right?]
[Looking at the video, she’s definitely at fault. How did things escalate to violence?]
[Do wealthy people think they can act this way just because they have money?]
[I have so much respect for TYC’s CEO. I’ll share this until old Xander apologizes publicly!]

Caroline couldn’t help but smile wryly at the comments. Tyler had managed to turn this into a major online spectacle in no time.
She realized she had underestimated his hacking skills.
Caroline’s phone started ringing. Concerned friends and associates were checking in on her.
Meanwhile, Reuben informed Evan about the incident at the hospital. Evan, his anger flarign, asked, “Did Mr. Xander Sr. really
hit Caroline?”

Reuben confirmed, “Yes, Mr. Xander Sr. slapped Ms. Shenton because Ms. Love’s car collided with hers.”
Evan clenched his fists. After a moment, he coldly replied, “I see.”
Reuben was taken aback. “Should we assist, sir?
“No,” Evan decided.
As Evan thought about Caroline’s dinner with the Xanders, despite Grayson’s clear dislike of her, Reuben remarked, “Ms.
Shenton is being treated unfairly.”
Evan glared at Reuben. “Then why don’t you help her?”
