Chapter 356
As the fashion director of IN Magazine, Eva manipulated influencers to cyberbully people. She even discreetly boosted trending topics on social media to increase the visibility of her misdeeds.
Leslie couldn’t help but wonder how she would react when she saw the evidence.
After finishing his tasks, he leaned back in his chair to rest. Then, his phone suddenly
rang.
The employee informed him, “Mr. Synder, we determined that all the photos were digitally altered. Interestingly, the ones where Ms. Simmons‘ face was altered were all candid shots of her.
“Whoever did this must be quite familiar with Ms. Simmons and has access to a
significant number of her candid photos. We suspected that it was an acquaintance, so we followed the clues and found an interesting person.”
Leslie coldly uttered, “Seth Martinez.”
and was.
“You already knew this? It is indeed him.
The person on the other However, it was probably Kimberly who got in touch with him. After that, both of them found someone to leak the photos.
“Seth and Ms. Simmons were together for three years, so he definitely has photos of her from all angles. These photos could be easily manipulated using deepfake technology, making it difficult to detect any signs of tampering.”
“Got it. I’ve also managed to find some photos. Get more people to post them online on Friday,” instructed Leslie.
After saying that, Leslie compressed the file and sent it to Daniel.
Daniel was stunned when he saw the file. After that, he randomly picked one of the files
inside and opened it.
“Damn! Mr. Synder, isn’t this a bit too i–intense?” Daniel called Leslie and stuttered in
shock.
After he was done looking through the photos, Daniel suddenly felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him.
“Bye.” Leslie casually hung up the phone.
Aurelia slept in until she stirred awake naturally. When she looked at the time, it was already 10:00 am.
After getting out of bed, she noticed that Leslie had already laid out the breakfast he bought on the table. Although it was cold, it could still be eaten after reheating it.
After microwaving it for a few minutes, she turned on her phone while eating brunch.
There were still a bunch of spam messages. She didn’t plan to read them, so she went online to check the current situation instead.
Perhaps the salacious rumor about her had gotten out of hand. Therefore, to prevent some people from continuing to spread unfounded rumors, the police issued a statement confirming she had filed a report for it.
They even released the list of individuals Aurelia had filed lawsuits against, which included the four men from the train station.
She had thought that this would stop the spread of the rumors, but she didn’t expect the four men from the train station to retaliate.
Instead of putting an end to the slander against Aurelia, they even went ahead and
publicly disclosed the police statements they had made at the police station online. They had even sworn under oath.
“Did you think you’re innocent just because you reported to the police? We know exactly what kind of person you are, Aurelia!” one of them said.
“We’ll post the police statement here and let everyone be the judge of it! How could she act like that and still want to be seen as a victim?” another mocked.
“It’s unbelievable how women nowadays have the guts to report such things to the police. If I was Aurelia, I would disappear from the eyes of the public instead! Why doesn’t that woman have any sense of shame?” they remarked.
Their statements pleased many male chauvinists, causing a crazy surge in followers.
Furthermore, they were especially fearless after they showed the surveillance footage from the train station.
The surveillance footage had the beginning and end edited out, making it seem as if Aurelia was enraged and used her handbag to hit someone.

Yet, the part where one of them made an inappropriate physical advance was edited out.
Aurelia furrowed her brows as she watched the surveillance footage, She was about to call the police when she received a call from the company.
“Aurelia, you’re required to come to the company to complete your resignation procedures,” the staff informed her.
Aurelia began to ask, “Alright, what do I need to
Before she could finish speaking, the other party quickly hung up the phone, as if not wanting to waste any more time talking to her.
It was truly every man for himself.
Aurelia sighed helplessly and called Dennis, the person in charge of her case.
“Hello, Mr. Clark. Why were they allowed to release the surveillance footage?” she asked.
Dennis replied, “Ms. Simmons, please rest assured. We’ve already obtained the evidence. However, we must uphold the integrity of the chain of evidence.
“Therefore, we typically refrain from releasing our evidence until this integrity is guaranteed. This precautionary measure also helps prevent any potential tampering or destruction of evidence.”
Aurelia nodded. “I sec. What should we do
“Your husband has already provided evidence for those photo manipulations this morning,” informed Dennis.
“My husband? Do you mean Leslie Synder?” Aurelia asked.
Dennis responded, “That’s right. Weren’t you aware? Your husband arrived at the police station early this morning to submit evidence.
“He also requested that we avoid contacting you for the time being, saying that you were upset about the incident. It’s evident that your husband cares a lot about you.”
When she heard this, Aurelia felt somewhat touched.
Dennis continued, “Our technical operations unit has successfully identified the
perpetrator who disseminated the photos and videos. I believe you may be acquainted with this person.”
Aurelia was intrigued. “Who is it?”
