Meanwhile, Scott actually overslept, and by the time he woke up, it was almost 9:00 am.
"Fuck! I actually woke up late for Shannon's last day of streaming!"
He immediately grabbed his phone and tapped straight into Shannon's livestream.
However, he saw a notification on his phone before he could even tap on the livestream.
It was a notification of Shannon's trending hashtags, showing "#Shannon meets up with sugar daddy at night" and "#Shannon is being kept."
He could make out each word on its own. Yet, when pieced together, he couldn't understand them.
Who was the one being kept? Shannon?
His eyes widened in surprise, and he immediately checked the trending hashtags. After learning the entire situation, Scott was livid.
He didn't even think twice before calling Caleb. "You're crossing the line, Caleb! You actually went and hired someone to slander Shannon!"
He even went as far as saying that she was a kept woman! How could he stoop so low?! He clearly didn't care about the Jensen family's reputation anymore.
Caleb had just reached the branch company and was in a foul mood. As soon as he received Scott's call, his expression turned even more grim.
A single incident resulted in him being held accountable for all online smear campaigns against Shannon.
Only a fool would slander her like that! Scott was such an idiot to think that he would do something like that!
Caleb didn't want to deal with his foolish younger brother anymore, so he immediately hung up. After thinking about how Scott accused him of something he didn't do, he suddenly felt very disgruntled.
He called his assistant and said, "Go find out who's behind this smear campaign against Shannon. Get me results within an hour! And I want all the evidence to back it up."
After being blamed repeatedly, Caleb was determined to uncover the truth and reveal the mastermind behind it all.
He intended for Scott to kneel and repent after he had shoved all the evidence in his face!
After taking a closer look at their profiles, it was discovered that Scott and Shannon were following each other, implying that they knew each other to some extent.
As a result, the online trolls immediately jumped at the opportunity to leave negative comments.
"Shannon is quite impressive! She has just entered the entertainment industry and already found herself a rich young scion to look out for her. She also has plenty of wealthy fans who sent her Starry Skies. She certainly has plenty of backers."
"No wonder she had such generous supporters from the beginning. It seems like she's been building a network of wealthy backers for quite some time."
Scott was furious when he realized that they were using him to target Shannon. He got so furious that he completely forgot Thomas' warning to stay out of the spotlight.
After searching through his phone, he finally came across a selfie that he had taken. It was a photo where he had intentionally captured Shannon feeding Marshmallow in the background.
It was also the only photo of him and Shannon together.
Scott immediately posted the photo along with the caption, "She's my cousin! If you have a problem with that, bring it on!"
