Chapter 176 Go Back Overseas
Allen asked, “Lucien, are you hurt?”

Lucien gave a careless shrug. “I'm fine. Guess | have Luna to thank for not dying.”
Luna’s face drained of color. She hadn't expected things to have escalated so far.
Allen’s expression darkened. “Luna. What do you have to say for yourself?”
Tears welled up in Luna’s eyes. “I didn’t mean to. It was just a thoughtless comment.”
Kaia’s eyes were like ice. “Do you know a ‘thoughtless comment’ can kill someone?”
She took a step forward, voice sharp. “You made a careless remark during a livestream, and it turned into a
storm. And now you want to play the victim?”
Zane's heart sank. Looking at his children-useless, both of them -he could only shake his head.
He said, “Kaia, calm down. Fortunately, Lucien’s okay. But as Lucien’s brother, | have to say this-if someone
wants to throw their life away, it’s not our job to throw ours in after them. At the end of the day, that boy just
wasn't strong enough.”

Kaia didn’t flinch. She knew Zane had never liked her. For whatever reason, she’d never been welcin his
eyes.
Lucien, however, wasn’t about to let her take the fall.

“That's not how this works, Zane. If the contestant had actually jumped, and word got out that it happened
because of Luna's targeted comments, she would've been ripped apart by public backlash.”
Zane's face stiffened.
“Con, Lucien,” he argued. “It’s not like Luna really told anyone to do that.”
Lucien let out a quiet scoff. “No? Then what would you call this?”
He threw a folder on the table. Inside were screenshots-chat logs and payment records of her buying negative
trending topics.
With a raised eyebrow, he smirked, “So, would you call this ‘manipulation’ or what?”
Zane's face twitched as he forced a neutral tone. “What is this?”

Lucien leaned back lazily. “Why don’t you ask Alyssa?”

Alyssa, sensing her cue, shot Lucien and Kaia a confident look. She was ready.
“Sure thing, Uncle Lucien.” She stepped forward, picked up the folder tically. “Grandpa, Uncle Zane-oh my
gosh. These chat logs... is that Luna? Luna, did you actually pay people to smear Kaia online?
“And it’s not just that. You hired trolls to flood the livestream
too!”
Her voice grew sharper. “You've got money, huh? Spending tens of thousands of dollars like pocket change. You
really went all out trying to destroy Kaia.”
Luna felt the blood drain from her face. Her mind was spinning.
Oh hell, I've been stabbed in the back.
Lucien knows everything. I'm done!
She turned toward Alden, pleading with her eyes, silently begging him to help her. But in his eyes was that
disgust. He was looking at her like she was something dirty.
Panic flared. She snapped, “No! These screenshots are fake! They're edited. It's not real!”
She lunged for the papers in Alyssa’s hand and tore them to shreds, sobbing, shaking with fury.

Lucien didn’t even blink. He turned to Zane, voice cold. “Now what, Zane?”
Joanne stepped in, unable to stay silent. “Lucien, Luna was foolish, yes. But this time, it really was a mistake.
Luna, apologize to Lucien and Kaia. On your knees.”
Lucien’s eyes darkened.
On her knees? As if I'd want that.
He straightened his cuffs and spoke evenly, “First, she'll post an apology on X, admit her mistake, and announce
her retirement from the industry. Second, didn’t she settle overseas a while back? Then stay there.”
“No!” Luna gasped in disbelief. “You can’t do this! You don’t have the right! Alden, say something!”
Her voice cracked. Her home, her career, her husband— everything was here. Why should she be the one to
leave?
Zane looked like he wanted to argue, but words failed him. “Lucien, isn’t that too harsh?”
Lucien’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Allen, who had been silent. “Dad, do you think | went too far?”
Allen let out a silent sigh. He knew Lucien was right. If Luna

He made his decision. “Luna, do as Lucien says. Go back overseas. And Alden—if you want to go with her, | won't
stop you.”
Zane and Joanne both gasped. “What?”
“This has nothing to do with Alden!” Joanne exclaimed,
stunned.
Allen's face was set in a deep frown.

His sharp tone cut through the tension like a blade. Zane and Joanne instantly fell silent.
Kaia shot a cold glance at Luna, who looked at her with barely concealed hatred.
What's the point of hating me? Blthat loser she chose to stick with. She dug her own grave.
Luna collapsed to the floor in a daze, unable to believe her ears. Being sent abroad-did that mean she’d never
