Chapter 8
Leon’s face changed dramatically.
1 gestured for Callum to leave with me.
Callum followed me a few steps, then suddenly stopped. “Julia, give me thirty seconds to deal with this scumbag.”
He handed me his glasses, then quickly walked back to LeonL
Before Leon could react, Callum grabbed his collar, slammed him against the wall, and landed a solid punch.
1 I quickly called out, “Callum, don’t fight!”
Seeing me intervene, Leon’s eyes lit up with hope. “Julia, you really…”
But I completely ignored him, asking Callum with concern, “Does your hand hurt?
Leon froze, and the wooden box in his hands fell to the
e ground with a thud.
I crouched down to pick it up. “Since you don’t treasure it, I’ll take it with me.
Leon frantically tried to grab it but was firmly restrained by Callum, unable to get close to me.
He said somewhat desperately, “Julla, I’m not neglecting it. I already bought the best urn for our baby. These… ashes, I’ll have them made into a diamond and wear it forever, to always remember this mistake.”
“Enough, Leon.” I stopped him from continuing. “Stop doing these things that only move yourself. They’re meaningless. Whether you remember or not has nothing to do with me. But I want you to know–the baby will never forgive you, and neither will 1.”
I moved out of our original pack house.
Leon came to my new residence many times but couldn’t even get through the door.
I had told the security guards in advance not to let this Alpha in to harass residents, and to call the police it necessary.
Callum invited me to join the law firm he had opened.
After recovering my health, I officially started work, living busy and fulfilling days
Thus continued for over half a month until one day I suddenly received several strange text messages, all containing abuse directed at
Someone even called to play horror sound effects.
My first instinct was that Leon was behind it. I was about to call the police when Mia contacted me. “Julia, Emma put you on the internet!”
I clicked on the video she sent a few seconds of surveillance footage from outside Emma’s apartment building
It cleverly captured only the moment I impulsively pushed Noah away, causing him to fall and cry, while completely omitting the earlier scene of Noah throwing the compass at me and Leon pushing me afterward.
This video was tagged with #female lawyer #child abuse, and a small account in the comments had doxxed my personal information
Although the video didn’t have high engagement, the twenty plus comments were all criticizing me, showing my behavior had angered people.
[How is this person not arrested yet and still allowed to practice law openly?1
This woman is obviously no good. If I were the kid’s parents, I would have kicked her to death on the spot!!
I looked at the share count–single digits.
After screenshotting the evidence, I quietly paid to boost the video and help it trend

The next day, the video gained traction with more and more people following the doxxed personal information in the comments to send me abusive texts and calls, while Emma capitalized on the attention by starting a livestream, tearfully adding details to the trending
topic.
According to her livestream, she had asked an old classmate and his mate to help take Noah to kindergarten due to an emergency, but the jealous mate violently pushed her child when he tried to hug “auntie,” brealding his tailbone.
Using netizens‘ sympathy, she streamed for three consecutive days while Leon called to warn me not to go out, worried that extreme netizens might cause me trouble.
Leon said, “Or I could take you to Caelora Bay for a vacation? You’ve always wanted to go there, haven’t you?”
I didn’t answer his question but asked him one instead, “You witnessed the entire incident. Would you be willing to go online and tell the truth to help clear my name?”
Leon fell silent.
After a long while, he finally said, “Julia, Emma…. she didn’t do it on purpose. She’s raising a child alone–it’s not easy. If I clear thing up, how will she get by in the future? Don’t worry, netizens are like this. Once the story loses steam, they’ll forget about you. No one will keep harassing you. So I thought I’d take you away for a while. Once we avoid this period, everything will be fine…”
I smiled knowingly and hung up..
I hadn’t actually planned to ask Leon for help he just happened to call, so I asked casually.
On the fourth day, while Emma was livestreaming and selling products white complaining, police knocked on her door.
Seriously? Spreading rumors about a lawyer and expecting to get away with it?
