Alex committed every detail of Emily’s new identity to memory with a single glance.

He released his grip and started to walk away–only to be cut off by a swarm of police rushing in
They arrested him for disorderly conduct. He didn’t resist, following them quietly to the station.
On the way, he sent Amelia’s info to his assistant, ordering him to track her down immediately,
News of Emily’s arrest exploded online. His name trended everywhere, with wild speculation about his crimes. Opportunists dug up every skeleton in his closet.
Rumors spread that he crushed rivals using illegal tactics
Allegations surfaced of unlawful detentions and even physical abuse.
Whispers about shady deals and ruthless power plays filled the headlines.
Some even dragged Emily’s past into the spotlight–painting her as a desperate beggar, spreading cruel Hes.
They said Alex had grown tired of her, that she’d fled with dirt that could ruin himL
For a brief moment, the internet was on fire with scandal after scandal. The Harrington family’s silence only fueled rumors they were ready to cut ties with him.
The attacles intensified, tanking Harrington Group’s stock and shaking shareholders to their core.
Alex didn’t flinch. He sat coolly in the holding cell, waiting on his assistant’s update.
On the third day, the assistant returned with a lead: Emily’s last known location was Pinevale airport. Alex’s expression shifted–hope flickered. He followed protocol, posted bail, and walked out of the station A crowd of reporters swarmed the precinct doors, camera flashes blinding, questions sharp and relentless. “Mr. Harrington, is it true you’re hunting your ex–wife because she’s holding incriminating evidence?”
Any
y comment on your arrest? As a top–tier mogul, did you ever consider the tallout?”
“Will the Harrington Group drop you?*
“Did you force your ex–wife into divorce? Is her disappearance connected to you?”
At the last question, Alex froze. His ley glare locked onto the reporter who asked it.
The man visibly shivered, recoiling into the crowd.
Alex’s stare was enough to stence a room,
Without missing a bear, Alex moved swiftly–tracking down the online trolls and bringing them, along with his manipulative uncle who’d stirred the pot, straight to Harrington Manor.
He forced them on a live stream, making them confess every detail of their smear campaign.
Alex sat behind them, fingers tapping his knee, face an unreadable mask–silent the entire time,
The tension in the room was suffocating; every breath was measured.
The culprits trembled, some so terrified they lost control
Those who had spread vicious lies about Emily had already been dealt with–silenced, shipped off without a chance to plead With the cyber storm crushed, Alex turned his wrath on the companies that’d tried to exploit the chaos to attack Harrington Group. In just one month, he demolished five or six firms.
Harrington Group swooped in, snapping up their assets and partnerships, expanding its empire with ruthless efficiency.
With everything back under control, Alex booked a flight to Pinevale.
His only focus now: Ending Emily.
