Chapter 8

It was revealed that Hans and Ramona had encountered each other at the gathering that particular day. Hans viewed Ramona as a potential vulnerability to exploit in order to get to Marcus, and given Ramona's avaricious nature, it didn't require much effort for Hans to manipulate her.

Subsequently, Hans arranged several meetups at taverns, attempting to extract information from Ramona, but she consistently managed to evade his inquiries.

That is, until the night when Hans and his associates kept supplying Ramona with alcoholic beverages. Once Ramona became inebriated, she divulged everything.

The moment Hans heard this, he promptly had someone investigate it. After verifying the details, he swiftly engaged a journalist to expose the story overnight and pulled some strings to make it spread rapidly.

"Oh, if you're skeptical, I even possess a recording of Ramona admitting all of this. I'll forward it to you, no need for gratitude," Hans stated arrogantly before terminating the call.
