---- Chapter 8 Saul grabbed my phone. "Don't look at it anymore." I slowly closed my eyes and dared not look at Saul. "Have you seen it?" I asked in a hoarse voice. He held my head against his chest. "This person has been posting the entire night. Whenever my guys delete her post, she posts another one. "Thave my guys figuring out her IP address. They should have the results soon." Morning came, and Saul's assistant waited for him in the living room. He immediately stepped forward when he saw Saul. But he hesitated when he saw me behind him. The reason was obvious enough: It had to be the posts. "Whatever it is, just tell us. You don't have to hide it from me." Saul's assistant instinctively looked at him. After Saul ---- gave his okay, he said, "Based on the IP address, we figured out the sender's address. It's from the Stalner family." I was not surprised at all when I heard this. Saul said nothing and just looked at me. "Call the police and have them handle it." They were quick to catch the person creating all this slander. It was Cloud. Again, I was not surprised when I learned about this. I had always known that Cloud was not as innocent as she presented herself to be. Before I left, she had spoken to me and revealed her true colors. "How does it feel like to be abandoned, Yelena? I've been fighting over Niel with you on purpose. It's your fault for having a better life than mine anyway. "You were doted upon since you were little, while I ---- was an orphan. "But your parents are dead now, and everyone hates you. You're much more miserable than I am." At that thought, I suddenly had a terrifying suspicion and looked at Saul. "Honey, Cloud hates me so much that she wants to ruin me even at the risk of going to prison. Do you think my parents didn't actually die from an accident?" Saul hired a private detective and soon brought news over. My instincts were right. Everything pointed to Cloud. So, I had Saul hand the evidence over to the police. To my surprise, Neil was the first person to approach me about it. The Stalner family's business had plummeted because of this. He looked much more haggard than before and no longer looked like a wealthy, noble man. ---- After seeing me, he forced a smile. "Yelena..." I scowled as I waited for him to finish speaking. "Could you forgive Cloud and write a letter of pardon for her?" Without thinking, I said, "Never!" Neil had a pained expression. "Since we grew up together, please forgive her. What happened to your parents is just an accident. Cloud would never do something like that." Inever expected him to continue defending Cloud despite the concrete evidence. "Niel, while our relationship ended in an undignified fashion, I'm still grateful to your parents. Iris still picked me and proceeded with the engagement after the Lewis family went through its darkest hour. I owe her that. "But that doesn't mean I've forgiven you. You have no right to plead for forgiveness on Cloud's behalf."
