  "How's your wound, Sister Mel?" Lilia was worried about Mellisa's wound. If she had known that the wound only felt itchy, she probably wouldn't have looked this worried.

  Mellisa lightly touched her waist and shook her head. "It's okay. I'm just worried that you will be affected by the news on the Internet. Now that I've seen how you reacted, it looks like you aren't affected at all,"

  "There's nothing wrong with that. Someone deliberately took advantage of this moment to attack me. Don't worry, they won't be able to create waves big enough to shake me," Lilia assured Mellisa.

  After being in the entertainment world for so long, Lilia's mentality had long been built to become invincible. Fake news like this was nothing for her.

  The two sisters leaned back on the sofa at the same time. Mellisa frowned, then looked at her sister with a serious expression. "Aren't you going to explain anything to me?"

  But after saying that, Mellisa seemed to have thought of something. She sneered indifferently.

  "Oh, I forgot. It's just the two of us now, so it might be even more embarrassing to explain."

  Lilia tilted her head and let out a long sigh. "No, of course I'll explain it. So, I intend to let the agency find a way to control the news. Even if it can't be controlled, I don't intend to clarify the news at this point,"

  The model wasn't trying to be tough. This was what she actually thought before. To her, the Pangestu Family was a thing of her past and was not worth thinking about anymore. Besides, if she announced her relationship with the Irwan Family in public, there wouldn't be sincerity in that announcement.

  What's more, a small thing like family background wasn't something Lilia cared about. Even if her family background was contrived or questioned, Lilia was still the wife of the fourth son of the Widjaya Family. That fact couldn't be changed by anyone.

  Of course, this hot topic about her family situation seemed to naturally arouse the public's attention since her live broadcast. But Lilia wasn't stupid enough to believe that there wasn't anyone doing this on purpose behind her back.

  After a moment of silence, Mellisa turned her gaze to Lilia's cell phone. "What's the situation on the internet today?"

  "I don't know, I'm not paying much attention now!" While speaking, Lilia casually picked up her cellphone. When she turned on the screen, she asked Mellisa, "Didn't you bring your own cell phone?"

  "My cell phone is destroyed." Mellisa said lightly.

  Lilia's hand stopped moving for a moment, and she was very surprised. "How did your cellphone get destroyed?! Isn't that your favorite cell phone?!" Lilia demanded.

  After Mellisa was kidnapped in Jakarta, Lilia took her cellphone and asked Clifford to hack her password. She originally planned to change Mellisa's cellphone to a newer model. But Mellisa bluntly said that she didn't need one.

  Lilia guessed that maybe the cell phone had accompanied Mellisa for countless days and nights, so she became emotionally attached to it. Finally, Lilia abandoned her intention. That's why Lilia was surprised to hear her sister suddenly say that the cell phone was broken.

  Mellisa glanced at her with an embarrassed look. "I was so angry when I saw the news that I snapped it in half,"

  Lilia was at a loss for words when she heard that. Her heart felt a little warm and also a little sour.

  The model looked at her social media and said, "Then I'll buy you a new cell phone."

  Lilia felt responsible as the person who caused Mellisa to destroy her cellphone. However, Mellisa immediately rejected her.

  "No need, Leonard bought a new one."

  Lilia's shoulders drooped as she let out a deep breath. 'Brother-in-law is just too amazing!'

  "……Hmm?"

  Lilia didn't speak anymore because the thing in the social networks had strangely changed. The hot topic was still there, but…… the contents of the discussion disappeared without a trace. There was only a blank page with five words written: 'Please try again later'.

  Lilia thought there might be a problem with her cellphone. She tried to move on to another hot topic, but the table was really turned. Only the trending topic of 'Lilia Pangestu's Background' was empty without any content. The rest was still operating normally.

  Mellisa saw the look on Lilia's face that was difficult to explain and frowned. She leaned towards her sister curiously. When she saw the contents of Lilia's screen, Mellisa was also shocked.

  "Is this server down?" She asked in surprise.

  Lilia shook her head and handed the cellphone to her sister. "Doesn't seem so!"

  A few seconds later, Mellisa finished looking through the blank page and threw Lilia's cellphone on the sofa roughly. "Does not seem so!" She agreed with her sister.

  Lilia picked up her cellphone and browsed through other topics of discussion. She had seen someone opening a new topic. That person said that she was blocked for participating in the? discussion regarding Lilia's background!

  Of course, this news disappeared again in less than a minute. The speed of that response made Lilia shudder. There was only one person who could do something like this.

  On this day, many netizens were sending protests to the official social media accounts. They questioned why their account was blocked just for participating in certain discussion topics. Couldn't they have free speech?

  However, the official social media accounts pretended to be stupid and evaded their protests by blaming the broken servers.

  In less than half an hour, Harold called Lilia. His voice sounded a little tired and he was smoking a cigarette. Lilia's manager puffed out her cigarette smoke before saying, "The situation on the internet has been handled,"

  Lilia was sitting at the coffee table fiddling with a set of green tea utensils. She was reviewing the tea making that Alfred taught. Her technique was a bit different, so she planned to have Mellisa drink it first before giving it to Jean.

  Hearing Harold's words, Lilia accidentally bumped into the cup filled with green tea powder. She hurriedly grabbed it and let out a sigh of relief when she managed to save it in time.

  Lilia put the cup in a safe place before replying, "Did you manage to find the IP address of the topic's author?"

  "The virtual address used by the writer is from a server in a foreign country. Joe's still checking it at this point," Harold replied. After that, he took a sip of water and continued, "Now that page is blank, but the topic is still on the trending list."

  Harold was silent for a moment after saying that.

  "Wait a minute, were you the one who asked Jean Widjaya to delete it? Suddenly, I feel anxious about what you are trying to do!" Harold asked in a suspicious voice.

  The Aphrodite Agency had submitted a request to social media platforms to remove the topic. But they replied that they had been ordered to keep the hot topic there.

  After hearing this, Lilia felt like she could guess the ins and outs of everything. It looked like this was Jean's work. The man deliberately blanked out the discussion page, but kept the hot topic on the list. In this way, Jean let everyone who questioned Lilia's background know what it meant to be helpless.

  Lilia smiled a little. "I don't know anything about that. If you find the IP address of the author, don't forget to tell me,"

  Harold was silent for two seconds. "All right, no problem. But what are you going to do with that information?" He asked anxiously.

  "I'll tell you if I find them."

  After speaking, Lilia hung up the phone first.
