On Weibo, a huge controversy erupted over Chloe Sinclair being cast as the female lead in *Rivers and Mountains*.

Sharon Thorne’s rabid fans, in particular, were extremely dissatisfied.

Sharon Thorne had inexplicably ended up in trouble with the law, but some of her fans still couldn’t believe it.

[Chloe Sinclair is unworthy of the role. It clearly should have been our Sharon’s. If she weren’t Gabriel Sinclair’s sister, how could she possibly have landed this part?]

Chloe Sinclair’s fans exploded with anger when they saw this comment.

Sharon Thorne lost the role because she was double-booking shoots, so what was the deal with her fans blaming their "sister" for it?

[If Sharon Thorne’s fans have a problem, they should go get it checked out. This happened so long ago. Do we really need to spell out how she lost her role?]

[Sharon Thorne’s career is already dead and buried, and people are still trying to defend her.]

[@StateAuthorities, @AntiCultHotline, please, we’re begging you, do something about this.]

Before the matter could escalate much further, many people were suddenly silenced.

[Who the fuck reported me]

[I got banned too. Figures. The capitalists are all in it together.]

[Heh, this makes me sick.]

The most aggressive of Sharon Thorne’s top fans were all banned, and a crowd of people in the comments below applauded.

Chloe Sinclair looked at the WeChat message from Jasper Shaw, a faint smile gracing her lips.

Boss Shaw: [I’ve already had someone ban these haters’ accounts. Don’t be afraid.]

A moment later, he called her directly.

Jasper Shaw’s voice was deep and pleasant, like an ancient cello in a grand hall, with a magnetic quality that was tantalizing to the ear. "Do you want to sue them?"

Chloe had originally wanted to say "forget it," but Jasper said, "Don’t let yourself be wronged."

So, the words on the tip of Chloe’s tongue changed in an instant. She said seriously, "Yes."

Jasper Shaw seemed very pleased.

In truth, even if Chloe hadn’t decided to do anything, he wouldn’t have let these netizens off easy.

Some people think that just because it’s the internet, they can spread rumors as they please.

It only takes a moment to start a rumor, but you’ll run yourself ragged trying to debunk it.

What if Chloe were just an ordinary person with no one to back her up? What would she have done if she’d encountered something like this?

Jasper couldn’t bear to imagine it.

"Little one, I’m really looking forward to your show’s premiere."

Hearing this, Chloe’s face instantly flushed red, and her mind went blank.

After a while, just when Jasper Shaw thought Chloe had hung up, he heard the young woman’s voice, as faint as a mosquito’s buzz. "If you’re interested, Mr. Shaw, you can watch it then."

Jasper Shaw was stunned for a moment, then let out a soft chuckle, his voice tinged with a faint doting tone. "Alright. I’ll definitely watch it then."

On her end of the line, a blush had already spread across Chloe’s face, and she hung up without a second thought.

"Old pervert," Chloe muttered.

But even as she said it, there wasn’t a trace of anger on her face.

After hanging up, Chloe felt a bit bored. She thought for a moment and decided to go check on the lab.

The foundational theory and setup for the high-temperature superconductor were already complete. As soon as the materials arrived and were assembled, the entire experiment would be virtually finished.

This was a full half-month earlier than she had anticipated.

"Welcome, Master."

Just as she opened the lab doors, a mechanical voice sounded from the center of the room.

Immediately after, all the lights in the lab switched on at the same time, dazzling and luxurious.

Chloe changed into her lab coat at the entrance. After repeatedly checking herself to make sure everything was in order, she then entered the lab.

"Master, the system has detected a person near the research lab. Malice value: 30."
