Ultimately, Mark was sentenced to life imprisonment for multiple serious crimes. Brenda and Victoria also received their due punishment, and all illegal gains were recovered.
Sterling Group returned to my control. I implemented drastic reforms, purging all the
parasites.
I put all my work on hold to focus on accompanying Clara.
Two years later, Clara had recovered her health. She successfully took over Sterling Group’s Public Relations Department, and the business flourished, with the media calling her a new star in the business world.
One ordinary Tuesday morning, I had just finished approving documents in my office when Ms. Davies, my assistant, burst in, looking panicked:
“Mr. Sterling, something’s happened! Private videos of Ms. Sterling suddenly leaked online and are going viral!”
I shot up, opening my computer. Sure enough, on multiple social media platforms, snippets of the videos from when Clara was drugged and posed were being widely shared.
The captions all claimed that the Sterling Group heiress had a chaotic private life, involved with multiple men…

A surge of rage shot from my feet to the top of my head.
Clara had just finished attending a business forum and was now surrounded by reporters. Flashing lights and malicious questions surged like waves:
“Ms. Sterling, are the videos authentic?”
“Do you confirm that the person in the video is you?”
Clara’s face was pale, almost on the verge of collapse, but she bravely held her head high:
“Those videos were staged after I was drugged by Mark and others. The court has already ruled on this. Please do not let yourselves be used any further.”
I immediately contacted the IT department, demanding the videos be deleted, and called an emergency meeting to deal with the crisis.
Ms. Davies reported:
“Mr. Sterling, we found the source. The videos were released by one of Mark’s former
cellmates. Someone provided them with funding.”
Half an hour later, an unknown number called:
“Alex Sterling, long time no see. How are your sister’s videos? Want them to disappear? Five hundred million, not too much, right?”
It was Mark’s voice. He was able to make calls from prison!
I scoffed:
“Mark, last time I was soft–hearted. This time, I’ll make you truly regret ever being alive.”
Mark sounded triumphant:
“Don’t think I’m scared of you! I don’t care anymore. If I don’t get the money, I’ll leak even
more videos!”
