Chapter 426\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour father has the original video,\u201d Lucius explained through gritted teeth. The man in it was originally one of my uncle\u2019s mistresses. I had your father\u2019s people replace her face with Larissa\u2019s, but somehow, they completely botched it!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia\u2019s expression transformed from feigned shock to a radiant, relieved smile. \u201cOh, is that all? For a moment, I almost misunderstood.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius studied her face, his glower slowly morphing into a look of heated intensity. \u201cIf you don\u2019t believe me, I can prove to you that I like women.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pulled her into his arms.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia froze, then quickly adopted a bashful demeanor. \u201cLucius, I\u2019ve told you before, I want to save myself for our wedding night. I believe you. You don\u2019t need to prove anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Lucius, frankly, wasn\u2019t in the mood anyway. \u201cFine,\u201d he conceded. \u201cBut you\u2019ll post a clarification on your Twitter account for me later.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Livia nodded. \u201cOf course\u2026 Well, I won\u2019t disturb you any longer. I\u2019ll head home now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Lucius didn\u2019t stop her this time, she scrambled out of his embrace, grabbed her phone and purse from the sofa, and hurried out of the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once he was alone with his assistant, Lucius kicked the crystal table in front of him, sending it crashing to the floor.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFind out if Larissa was behind this!\u201d he roared.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had never been so publicly humiliated, turned into a laughingstock for the entire city. It was unforgivable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Absolutely unforgivable!\u00a0<\/p>\n
If it was Larissa, he would make sure the whole world knew her as a whore.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outside Neverending Night, Livia collapsed into the driver\u2019s seat of her car, clutching her stomach as she howled with laughter.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He deserved it! Lucius was now a social pariah, a city\u2013wide meme.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once she had composed herself, she took a small digital recorder from her purse. She had recorded the entire exchange in the VIP room\u2013Lucius\u2019s fury, his lackeys\u2018 pathetic fawning, all of it. If she knew Lucius, he would try to pin the entire debacle on her father\u2019s tech team at Gale Entertainment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Not on her watch.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 426\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, she didn\u2019t dare release the audio herself. She would send the recording to Lansas\u00a0<\/p>\n
and let her handle it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Back in the \u201cRegal City Tattler\u201d chat, Avril was the first to see the trending topic on Twitter. She immediately forwarded the video of Lucius and his uncle into the group, tagging the users who had been mocking Larissa earlier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril\u2019s Joy: [Hey, look! Here\u2019s the Mr. Lincoln you all worship! Turns out he has some interesting hobbies. Gay is one thing, but incest with his own uncle? Whoa, this is explosive!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prodigal Prince: [\u2026]\u00a0<\/p>\n
The chat, which had been quiet, suddenly erupted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[What? What\u2019s this about him being gay? And incest?]\u00a0<\/p>\n
Avril\u2019s Joy: [Go look! It\u2019s all over Twitter! A sex tape of Lucius and his uncle! Better watch it fast before it gets scrubbed!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[No way! This is insane. I\u2019m going to look now!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Holy crap, it\u2019s real? I just watched it. It looks like a deepfake, though!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[It has to be a fake, but it\u2019s an insanely good one. You can\u2019t even see the seams!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
The comment section under the Twitter video was just as chaotic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Can a tech bro analyze this? The video doesn\u2019t match the hashtag. Not that I\u2019m complaining\u2013Lucius and his uncle is way more interesting than Jagger and Larissa.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Okay, the important parts are blurred, but I have to say, Lucius has a pretty decent body, especially compared to his uncle.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Saving this for\u2026 research purposes before it gets taken down.]\u00a0<\/p>\n
[Is it just me or is Lucius\u2019s voice incredibly seductive? As a married woman, my morals are being seriously tested right now!]\u00a0<\/p>\n
