Chapter 254 We Have Gone Viral

1 shook my head, guiding Madam Young inside. She was all concerned, asking. "Are you okay? What did the doctor say? If Jack had not shown up, I would have been clueless about the whole mess. Girl, you could have given me a heads

1 gave her a small smile. “It's no big deal, all water under the bridge. I kept it from you so you wouldn't worry."

She let out a sigh and glanced outside. Despite Jack's daughter's screw-up and his subsequent begging, he still decided to show his face here. "Isn't he embarrassed?" she asked.

Madam Young looked pretty good, so she's probably feeling better. I decided to switch topics. "Grandma, where are Liam and Emily? I Haven't seen them around.

She answered, "I haven't laid eyes on them since dinner. They probably stepped out. Let's not fuss over them. We barely see them as IS. They should spend some time together, especially now that Emily's expecting. She needs her rest."

She had a point.

The outside had gone quiet. It was not long before Idris walked in.

Madam Young did not waste a second. "Did you take care of the nuisance?"

He nodded once, sharp and quick.

Madam Yo

lips tightened. "Jail's too good for her. She had the nerve to come begging here. Charles told me what happened, and I nearly jumped out of my skin. If you had been any later... I do not even want to think about it. A few years behind bars is getting off lightly."

Idris was by her side in a heartbeat, his usual frostiness replaced by a surprising softness. You're right, Grandma. We'll keep those types out of the Youngs' place from now on."

She nodded in agreement. They had barely exchanged pleasantries when Mr. Zachary walked in. He shot a look at me and Idris like he had a million things to say but could not find the words.

Idris caught the look, though he did not press the matter. "Grandma, it's late. You should hit the hay. We're gonna head out."

Madam Young agreed, her gaze falling on me. "off you go, Yvette. You've had a scare today. Get some rest."

I nodded, all smiles, and said my goodbyes to Madam Young.

Stepping out of the yard, we found Charles pacing like a caged animal. He beelined for us the moment we appeared, his voice tight with worry. "Mr. Young, something has gone down." Idris's brow creased in concern. "What has got you so rattled?"

Before Charles could get a word out, another figure came running up dotting his brow and his face ghostly pale. He was clearly freaked out.

It was Ensio, sweat

The moment I saw their faces, I knew this was no small deal. Idris picked up on it too, giving them a serious look and motioning, "Come with me."

He led Charles and Ensio out of Madam Young's yard and into a quieter spot before stopping and facing them. "Alright, spill it. What's going on?"

Charles and Ensio shared a quick, knowing look before Ensio stepped up, his eyes shifting between me and Idris "Sir, ma'am, about half an hour ago, the news broke out about the lady's murder and body- hiding scandal. It's all over the internet."

1 froze. How did this get out? Did we not have an understanding with the police? Ensio, reading my thoughts, added, "It wasn't the cops who spilled the beans."

Idris's lips tightened, and his eyes narrowed like slits. "Did you find out who did?"

Ensio shook his head. "Our tech team jumped on it right away, but the leaker has gone ghost on us. There's no IP to trace. They think it's an overseas leak, and whoever it is, they are good at playing hide- and-seek."

The leaker's disappearance into the digital ether frustrated Idris, as there was no IP to trace. Idris's frown deepened, and he turned to Charles. "What about the damage control?"

Charles sighed. "I've got people trying to bury the story, but it's like playing whack-a-mole. We take it down, and it pops right back up. Now, it's not just here. The story's gone global, and Young Corporation's stocks are taking a nosedive everywhere."

The worry lines on the three men's faces said it all-Scott Corporation was in for a rough ride.

Lost in thought, I was jolted back to reality by Maxwell's ringtone.

I picked up, and Maxwell's voice rushed out, frantic, "I caught wind of the scandal. What the heck happened? You told me the body was dealt with. Why is it blowing up now?" Chapter 255 Too Fast
