Lydia, alarmed by what she saw on social media, quickly told Brayden, “The internet’s buzzing with fake news. Someone’s posted edited clips from the livestream. People are accusing Hannah of deliberate murder!”
Upon checking his phone, Brayden found that the web was indeed awash with skewed conspiracy theories, suggesting Hannah had sabotaged her fellow competitors.
Clearly, someone was pulling strings from the shadows.
“Should we remove this trending topic?”
Presenting Bryson with the online chatter and biased public opinion, Brayden said, “It seems like there’s an instigator fanning the flames here.”

After scrolling through his phone, Bryson responded, “No, let’s not kill the trending topic. We should have the event organizers release the full livestream. That should be sufficient.”
“Got it! I’ll make sure it’s done.”
Bryson handed his phone back to Brayden and walked over to Hannah.
The investigator on the scene recognized Bryson and courteously asked, “Mr. Mitchell, you were also a witness. Any insights?”
Without a word, Bryson subtly positioned Hannah behind him, protecting her.
Bryson then briefly recounted the incident to the investigators.

Upon cross-referencing the eyewitness accounts with the Livestream, the investigators found no anomalies and simply took down Hannah’s contact details for possible future inquiries.
Watching a few people exit the VIP room, Bryson’s eyes narrowed.
These weren’t the people from Muvrand.
After taking statements, the police left with the individuals.
The venue manager came up to Bryson.
“Sir, you have an internal call from Muvrand.”
Knowing who was on the other end, Bryson instructed Brayden to look after Hannah while he took the call.
Having been through the interrogation, Hannah stayed silent, uttering no words.
“Come, let’s sit down for a bit,” Lydia suggested, concern etched on her face as she supported Hannah’s shoulder.
Hannah nodded softly and followed her friend to a nearby sofa.
Out of nowhere, a hand appeared, offering Hannah a bottle of water.
Looking up, she saw it was Declan. Her face turned frosty, and she refused the water.
“Declan, why even bother with her? She’s clearly ungrateful!”
