Chapter 18: Let Me Go Home to Inherit My Family Property

After hanging up the phone, a magnified face appears in front of her.

Rex Leanne is curious, "Carol, what did your aunt say to you?"

It seems that Carol has a bad relationship with her family, as eight out of ten times they argue on the phone.

"Oh, my mom wants me to go home and inherit the family fortune,"

Caroline Edwin puts down her phone.

She sits back down on the sofa, picks up her laptop, and starts hacking into the paparazzi's System.

Rex Leanne's eyes shine brightly, "Carol...how much is your family fortune?"

There are many struggling celebrities in the entertainment industry who are forced to go home and inherit millions. Is Carol one of them?

"Not much, just a little bit."

The speed of Caroline Edwin's typing isn't affected, still leaving an afterimage.

"Carol, be more specific."

After all, the standard of wealth for a mover is different from ordinary people.

"Just a few small and broken companies, some fields, and piles of junk that have turned to dust."

Breaking through the other party's firewall, she successfully obtains the unedited original video.

She saves the video and implants a timed unblocking program into the paparazzi's computer.

After twenty-four hours, the computer will automatically remove the virus and there will be no trace of intrusion left to detect.

Rex Leanne, afraid that Caroline Edwin might have some regrets, quickly comforts her softly, "Don't be sad, Carol. This much property is good enough, and working hard on your own is the best way to make a living!"

Since there isn't much property, they should stay in the entertainment industry to make money. Rex Leanne will do their best to help Carol clear up the scandal.

"Mmm,"

Caroline Edwin looks up at Rex Leanne, and seeing their warm-hearted appearance, her coldly glaring peekhole eyes soften slightly.

She lowers her head and continues the work at hand, logging into the Hua Alliance's internal software.

Foxgirl:[Sure, I'll sell the video, we'll split the money 2 to 8.]

J:[Alright, boss, I'll make sure this is done perfectly.]

Stitch Smith receives the video and contacts the entertainment industry's number one paparazzo. They quickly agree on a price, and the deal is made.

J:[Boss, it's done. Sold for 800,000, and the other party will write and publish it soon.]

Foxgirl:[Mm.]

An alert comes in on her phone, and she sees the extra money in her account, licking her lips.

——

After a morning of fermentation, the matter gets bigger and bigger, with the click-through rate rising continuously.

Rex Leanne is full of anxiety, looking at the girl on the sofa hugging a pillow, wondering why Carol isn't worried at all?

The phone rings, and seeing the caller's note, Rex Leanne quickly answers, speaking cautiously and humbly.

"Director, what can I do for you?"

"The company has made a decision to temporarily suspend all of Caroline Edwin's work. Later, I'll have you reassigned to mentor other artists."

"Director, what do you mean by mentoring newcomers? Director, Director..."

Not getting a response after asking for a long time, Rex Leanne looks at the phone screen to find that the other party has already hung up.

Feeling powerless, Rex Leanne collapses onto the sofa, hugging the pillow, with slightly moist eyes.

They sniffle, feeling useless, otherwise the director wouldn't have treated Carol like this.

"Don't cry," Caroline Edwin puts down the pillow, "Crying too much will make you ugly."

As soon as Rex Leanne hears that, they immediately stop sobbing, vainly pulling out a mirror to examine their face.

Caroline Edwin logs onto Twitter, unsurprised to see the latest announcement from Star Universe Entertainment.

Star Universe Entertainment V:[We are deeply sorry for the recent events.

After consultation, the company has decided to temporarily suspend all of Caroline Edwin's work.

We assure you that Star Universe will never shelter any tainted celebrities.]

"Wow! This mudslide is coming out of nowhere," Caroline Edwin shakes her head and puts her phone back on the table.

Picking up her laptop, she switches to the stock center, checking on Star Universe's stock price, which is still in a trough and gradually rising.

Clicking 'Buy,' she inputs the numbers, and buys the maximum amount of Star Universe's scattered shares in the stock market.
