Magic 99

It would have been impossible for Caelus to board the cruise ship so smoothly without help from an insider. As for who the insider was, there were still no clues to that. 

What could be confirmed was that once Caelus was captured, the insider wouldn’t sit still. They would try every possible way to silence him. 

That was why Lucius couldn’t let Caelus die so soon, and he also had to find a way to keep him alive and pry the truth out of him. 

He turned to Keane. “Who do you think the insider might be?” 

Since all the guests on board were nobles and elites, Keane didn’t dare make any accusations lightly. But he still voiced his suspicion. “On the surface, among all the guests, there’s only one who has a feud with you, Mr. White. It’s Darrell from the Foster family! 

“With Mr. Foster’s status and influence, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to use some means to sneak Caelus onto the ship.” 

Darrell? Lucius mulled over the name, sinking into thought. 

At that moment, the Woodward household had fallen into unprecedented chaos. The cause was Skyler being caught by Marnie in the act of having an affair with Marceline. 

In a fit of rage, Marnie had completely abandoned her composure and brawled with Marceline, causing a huge stir and pushing the Woodward family into the center of public opinion. 

Skyler had never imagined that sneaking around for a little fling would end in such an ugly 

mess. 

Marnie, on the other hand, had never imagined her husband would stoop so low as to have an 

affair with a saleswoman. 

No wonder Skyler had been so eager to tag along every time she went shopping at that jewelry store. Accompanying her had only been a cover. His real purpose was to carry on a secret affair with Marceline behind her back. 

When Marnie fought with Marceline, there had been countless bystanders, so it badly damaged her reputation. 

In order to quell the scandal, she spent a fortune hiring paid commenters to control the 

narrative. 

With her online army deliberately steering the conversation, Marnie’s image swiftly shifted

from a brainless person into the pitiful wife whose marriage had been intruded upon by a scheming mistress.

This was thanks to the fact that, back when she had been in the entertainment industry, most of Marnie’s roles were of virtuous wives and loving mothers. It had left her with a wholesome 

image in the public eye. 

A seasoned veteran of the industry, Marnie released a heartfelt apology video the very next 

day. 

On camera, she looked haggard, delicate, and pitiful as she sincerely apologized for her public fight with Marceline. Even if her marriage had been invaded, she said that she shouldn’t have caused such an ugly scene. 

The apology video quickly garnered public sympathy. After all, in today’s society, people deeply despised homewreckers. 

Soon, Marceline became the main target of online attacks. 

The hired commenters seized the chance to amplify the narrative, heavily promoting Marnie’s quiet charity work since her retirement from the entertainment industry. That won her another wave of popularity. 

Marceline, on the other hand, not only got fired from the jewelry store but also ended up trending on social media as the object of scorn. 

Meanwhile, Sonia, who had survived her own ordeal, also used her hacking skills after returning home to filter out and delete all online posts attacking Marnie. 

Thus, within less than two days, Marnie’s brawl sandal was smothered under other trending topics. It was all thanks to Sonia’s efforts, coupled with the paid commenters. 

The long–retired Marnie also seized this chance to make a comeback of sorts, while at the same time venting the collective anger of all wives whose husbands cheated. 

Although public opinion on the internet had been temporarily contained, internal conflict within the Woodward family was escalating. 

Skyler was driven nearly mad by Marnie’s foolish actions. Ever since the scandal had spread online, Woodward Group’s stock prices had been plunging.
