However, the relentless reporters persisted with their ruthless questions. "Do you feel guilty for causing your husband's death?"

Tom couldn't hold back any longer. He quickly turned to face the reporter and shouted, “What are you talking about? Would you feel guilty if your family member died? What kind of heartless and stupid questions is this?"

The reporters fell silent after being scolded, not daring to pursue any further. They quietly watched the group leave the scene.

On the other side of the room, Holden came across the news and even stumbled upon the live broadcasts conducted by those reporters.

His brows furrowed as he scrutinized the flood of information regarding the Anderson Group. The deeper he delved into it, the stranger things got.

Although the Anderson family mentioned by online netizens wasn't considered a top-tier aristocratic family, they had no problem effortlessly moving through the upper echelons of society. So why had his investigations into the Anderson Group come up empty-handed?

Holden pondered for a moment, then immediately decided to look into Darian's and Jasper's backgrounds. The requested information arrived swiftly.

Glancing at the documents that showed Darian's date of birth, Holden immediately noticed something unusual.

According to the previous data he had obtained from the dark web, Theodore was fifteen years older than Ariana.

But based on Darian's age in these documents, it would mean that Theodore had been born when Darian was still a minor. It was impossible.

Holden's suspicions heightened at this realization.

The previous information from the dark web must have been tampered with. Moreover, that meant there was a mole amongst those who had access to the dark web!

Holden tossed the documents aside with a loud thud and called out, "Shawn!"

Under the watchful protection of her teammates, Ariana returned home, seeking refuge from the relentless storm of online rumors and conspiracy theories.

The digital frenzy showed no signs of abating, as an army of bloggers, numbering in the millions, unleashed a torrent of speculations. Some even dared to insinuate a dark grudge held by Ariana against the Anderson family, suggesting she could have masterminded Theodore's car accident.

As the whirlwind of falsehoods continued unabated, Ariana, regaining her composure amidst the chaos, resolved to confront the chaos with truth. She penned a comprehensive explanation, bolstered by the official investigation report detailing the dockside ship explosion.

However, the virulent tide of slanderous comments seemed insurmountable. The internet had become a battlefield, where it looked like disinformation and baseless rumors were being commanded by an unseen hand.

Ariana harbored suspicions that someone was puppeteering this sinister show, employing an army of internet trolls. But identifying the puppeteer seemed impossible. The situation had spiraled to a point where no clarification could calm the tide.

Then, a user named Mr. M emerged, wielding a series of impactful images. These data charts depicted the dire extent of Ariana's condition at the time of her accident. According to the data, her survival had bordered on miraculous.

In addition to the data, Mr. M shared haunting pictures from the accident scene. They showed Ariana covered in blood, her abdomen swollen- a stark testament to her perilous condition. They vividly conveyed the gravity of her ordeal.
