Chapter 51
At that moment, whatever the person on the other end of the phone said, Jared’s expression softened slightly. “I don’t care what you do. You have to. the robot design blueprints within three days. Lynette is just a woman. Can’t you even Handle a woman?”
Robot design blueprints?‘ Arya suddenly thought.
Before her father’s accident, he had been working with Lynette on the design plans for a new robot project.
Is the design that Jared is trying to steal the one from Keller Group? So that’s why Jared wanted to kill Dad, seize the company’s shares, and take everything that belonged to him. What a ruthless heart he has,‘ she wondered.
A flash of terrifying ferocity rose in her bright eyes, and her slender fingers gradually clenched into fists.
Without hesitation, she called Leroy. “Leroy, someone in the company is trying to steal the robot design blueprints and plans that Dad and Lynette were working on. Please help me identify that person within a day.”
However, Leroy’s teasing voice came through the phone. “Arya, what happened when Mr. Barnett took you back that night? Did you two have a
passionate encounter?” Arya was taken aback for a moment.
When did Leroy become so vulgar and gossipy? Who has he been hanging out with these past two years while I was gone?” she thought.
She frowned and said, “I’m talking about something serious here.”
Leroy chuckled mischievously. “So am I.”
Arya sighed, “Nothing happened that night.”
She had been so drunk that she was barely conscious. Finn wasn’t the type to take advantage of someone in that state.
Although Finn could be a bit forceful at times, he would only act when she was sober. Except for that night in the forest when she had been the one to initiate things with Finn.
Leroy clicked his tongue on the other end. “Arya, I think your husband is lacking.”
Arya didn’t feel like engaging in Leroy’s nonsense and got straight to, the point. “Leroy, has anything happened at Keller Group since you took over?”
Leroy got serious. “On the surface, Keller Group seems to be functioning normally, but in reality, it’s in complete disarray. But don’t worry, with me in charge, I’ll expose those who are harming the company within three days. However-”
Arya furrowed her brows. “However, what?”
Leroy’s voice deepened slightly. “The TV hostess Natalie, who deliberately live–streamed us drinking by the river that night? Do you know her?”
Arya was puzzled. “What live–stream? What are you talking about?”
She hadn’t known about Natalie’s live–stream because the next morning, Finn had ordered all the videos and news to be taken down.
Leroy explained, “That night when we were drinking by the river, a host named Natalie live–streamed it. It caused a sensation on the internet. Then Mr. Barnett stormed in and took you away, looking like he was ready to tear someone apart.”
Arya was stunned for a moment. ‘No wonder Finn looked so angry when I woke up that morning. It was Natalie’s live–stream that caused the misunderstanding,’ she thought.
Although Arya had briefly met Natalie at the Barnett Mansion before and didn’t like her, she hadn’t considered taking any action against her.
Since Natalie deliberately live–streamed me drinking with Leroy to sabotage my relationship with Finn, I should definitely give her a taste of her ov medicine,‘ Arya thought.

Chapter 51
After hanging up the phone, Arya directly hacked into Natalie’s phone and was surprised to find several videos of animal abuse stordare
There were videos of her tying a cat to a gas stove and burning it alive, drowning a pet dog by pressing its head underwater, and cutting off sarar limbs.
Interestingly, Natalie appeared in each video, seemingly to document and preserve the acts.
Oh, no. She looks so gentle, but she has a penchant for animal abuse. I’ll let everyone see this woman’s true face,‘ she thought.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Arya directly uploaded those videos through Natalie’s own X account.
Within less than five minutes of the videos being posted, they successfully made it to the trending list. Netizens continuously forwarded and commented on them.
(Oh my god. Natalie is so vicious, able to be so cruel to animals?]
[Look at Natalie’s fierce expression; she seems like a psychopath.]
[My goodness, Natalie seems so gentle, yet she can do such terrifying things?]
(I used to be a fan of Natalie. I never expected her to be a devil in disguise.]
At that moment, Natalie was on her way to the TV station when she suddenly received a call from the station’s director. “Natalie, we’ve seen the videos online about you abusing animals. I’m sorry, but after discussing it, the TV station has decided to temporarily remove you from your hosting position.”
Natalie was stunned. She quickly checked her phone and found that twenty minutes earlier, her X account had posted the animal abuse videos stored on her phone.
What’s going on? I never touched my phone,‘ she thought.
With no time to ponder further, Natalie hurriedly deleted the posts on X. However, it was too late; the videos had already been downloaded and forwarded by countless netizens.
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Natalie made a phone call, almost shouting, “Take down all the videos about me abusing animals from the internet immediately. In ten minutes, I don’t want to see any videos related to me.”
Unbeknownst to Natalie, everything she was doing on her phone was being clearly monitored by Arya.
When Arya heard Natalie’s frantic voice, a mischievous smile curled the corners of her lips. “Wanting to take down the videos completely? We’ll see if you have that ability.”
Meanwhile, at the Barikien Mansion, Malcolm was having breakfast with his father, Aiden, and mother, Nora.
Nora noticed that Malcolm looked rather gloomy and seemed preoccupied, so she asked with concern, “Malcolm, why do you look so sullen today? Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
Malcolm forced a smile and said, “Mom, I’m fine.”
In reality, he was extremely anxious. After hearing what Eloise had said yesterday, Malcolm felt that his authority had been severely challenged by Arya,. and his anger had peaked.
So, after sending Eloise to the hospital, Malcolm had hired two hitmen from the black market to set fire to Keller Villa, hoping to tea
‘a a lesson.
However, the hitmen had lost contact, and when Malcolm sent someone to check Keller Villa this morning, it was still intact with no signs of fire damage.
Moreover, there were now more than a dozen bodyguards stationed outside Keller Villa.

Malcolm was worried that last night’s operation had failed and that the hitmen had been captured. ‘If those hitmen are caught, will they expose me?” he
thought.
Just as Malcolm was on tenterhooks, the butler suddenly approached and reported, “Mr. Barnett, Mrs. Barnett, Finn has arrived.”
