Chapter 444: Chapter 438: Crushing

Translator: 549690339

One could say that the news was like a massive bomb being thrown onto the internet, with the exposure of those unbearable conversations and contents. Those who previously supported Jay Summer, as well as the netizens, found everything inconceivable. If the saying “forcing the crowd to fall” held any water, it was truer nowhere else than for Jay Summer who seemed to make enemies everywhere. As more and more celebrities disclosed the fact that Jay had been blackmailing them, everyone got to know Jay’s true colours.

However, no one saw that this was just the beginning. Many pieces of evidence started surfacing online, but a recorded phone call was drawn into attention under Olivia Thatcher’s guidance. Needless to say, the phone conversation was between Finn King and Jay Summer. During the conversation, King had explicitly mentioned Finn Lewis by name, as well as how to tackle him. He also vaguely hinted that he was acting on someone else’s orders.

A wave of panic ceaselessly gnawed at Norton James’ heart. He hadn’t thought that things would change so dramatically in just a few short hours. He had just deleted all the videos and other things from his computer. But clearly, it was too late. The development of the matter had already far exceeded his expectations. The phone conversation had shifted the netizens’ attention from Jay Summer to Finn King.

While the relationship between King and James was rather secretive, it nonetheless could not withstand investigation.

When a post titled “Stunning Private Life of a Third-Generation Rich Kid” suddenly surfaced online, the video embedded in the post shocked James so much he spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

The storm stirred up by Finn Lewis wasn’t as intense as imagined. Only a few hours later, around midnight, Lewis received a call from Cindy Yoder. Cindy wasn’t particularly close to Lewis. Still, since she was the one who had contacted him on the previous two occasions, she naturally took the initiative to reach out to Lewis this time as well.

“Mr. Lewis, this matter has blown up,” Cindy Yoder said, forcing a bitter smile.

Before receiving this call from Cindy, Lewis already knew that someone had made a move – to be more accurate, some higher-ups had gotten involved. All videos online had been deleted and thoroughly concealed in a short time. Then, several video platforms posted announcements stating that their sites had been hacked and that they needed to maintain the servers once again.

Although topics on platforms like micro research couldn’t be shut off, the absence of influential bloggers meant the discussion couldn’t continue. Soon after, Lewis received Cindy’s call.

Of course, the fact that the posts and videos could be swept clean in such a short time had something to do with Lewis refraining Olivia from resisting because if Olivia were to resist, they would have no way to stop her.

“This has nothing to do with me. I’m the victim here.” When else would he play innocent, if not at this time?

“We know, we were aware a while ago that someone tipped off the factory, intending to undermine your company and relook into any violations related to the ‘Conquer the World’ affair. Oh right, Mr. Yoder, why did you call ?” Lewis asked.

Cindy was speechless for a moment, only realizing then that he hadn’t relayed the main point during their lengthy phone call.

“It regards Norton James and the affair. Although I know that you, Mr. Lewis, aren’t really involved, you are one of the parties affected. So, we hope that you wouldn’t delve into this matter anymore. Rest assured, Mr. Lewis, Norton’s case will be handled sternly. We hope that you believe in the country’s determination in this matter,” Cindy said earnestly.

“Ah, I believe in it. I have no issues with that. However, I can’t exactly control what happens online.” Lewis shrugged, knowing full well that his fan was taking the fall for him.

The videos about Norton James that were exposed online should have been associated directly with the hacker who initially exposed Jay Summers. “Mr. Lewis doesn’t need to worry about this. We’ll handle it. Just don’t openly voice your opinions or comments.” Once Cindy heard this, she let out a sigh of relief and quickly replied.

“Rest assured, Mr. Yoder. I’m not that ostentatious.” Lewis replied with a chuckle.

Hearing Lewis’ response, Cindy couldn’t help but retort inwardly, “You aren’t ostentatious? You openly threw tens of millions in a live broadcast. If this isn’t ostentatious, then what is? If you weren’t that ostentatious, I wouldn’t have been so anxious to call you.”

“Alright then, if there isn’t anything else, I’ll hang up now.” After ensuring that Lewis was alright, Cindy did her job and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

“Thank you, Harris.” Lewis replied smilingly.”

Cindy replied with a “You’re welcome” and hung up. After Lewis put down the phone, Sarah Wood on the other end of Celeston City put down her phone.

After putting down the phone, Sarah looked at Kay Lee and said in astonishment, “Your man is really domineering.”

“Stop teasing, tell me what happened.” Kay Lee’s face turned slightly red, but she did not refute and quickly asked Sarah.

“What else could have happened? I estimate he’ll spend the second half of his life in jail. Plus, not just him, the entire Johnson Clan is likely to be brought down. Mr. Samuel has been so infuriated he’s been hospitalized. If it wasn’t for Mr. Samuel’s unyielding character, his honor undeserving of being tainted by his descendants, you would be watching a report about this case on the television right now,” Sarah quickly explained.

“Really?” Kay Lee was startled, as well. She hadn’t expected that Norton James would be thrown in jail in just two short days.

Not only was Kay Lee surprised, the Davis Clan, including Cypress Davis, also learned about the incident. But after they found out, all that remains was their silence. What else could they say? Given the attitude the Davis Clan held when Lewis first arrived, Cypress Davis didn’t know what they should say.

If Cypress Davis and his group were somewhat calmer, Thunder Davis and the other young people were thoroughly dumbfounded. They felt helpless. Although Lewis wasn’t present but they constantly felt an indescribable pressure. Who was Norton James? They had known Norton James for a long time. In their eyes, Norton James was a true favored child of the heavens, so brimming with vitality. It could be said that even the mayor of the city would have to give some face when seeing James.
