Chapter 115: Boss, Need a Loyal Sidekick?
In just two posts, Sophia’s web of lies was mostly torn apart. But things didn’t stop there. Almost as if planned, Benjamin and Lucas posted their own threads.
Benjamin’s post showcased the stock chart for Vanguard Exchange Solutions. Previously on a downward trend, the stock had surged over the last few days, reaching a historic high. “If this is what getting scammed looks like, Olivia can scam me as many times as she wants,” Benjamin commented. He included evidence of his initial investment, which had multiplied tenfold within days.
The comments section erupted with envy. “I wish Olivia would scam me right now!” “Olivia, please scam me! My path to wealth depends on you!” “Count me in for the waiting-to-be-scammed club.” “Waiting to be scammed! This is my ID. Count me in!”
Lucas’s post was more concise. He simply shared his gaming records from the past few days, showing he had been duo-queuing with Olivia. He left a single remark: “If you’re not interested in this gaming legend, I am.”
Many who were Lucas’s friends on the gaming platform quickly checked his match history. Over the past few days, Lucas had been teaming up with a player named “Instant Riches.” The results showed Lucas consistently underperforming, while “Instant Riches” delivered MVP-worthy stats, with over 20 kills per game. The onlookers were stunned. “This is practically a professional gamer’s level of skill!” “I need ‘Instant Riches’ to add me as a friend! Boss, carry me!” “Olivia, please notice me! I might be your long-lost relative!”
“Olivia, I’m awful at gaming but hopelessly addicted. I’m great at giving compliments, though. Boss, do you need a loyal sidekick?”
In just half a day, all the negative rumors about Olivia were completely torn apart. The atmosphere on the forum took a bizarre turn.

Chapter 115: Boss, Need a Loyal Sidekick?
Those who had spread the rumors desperately tried to delete their comments. But on the campus forum, posts and comments over an hour old couldn’t be removed. The only thing they could be thankful for was that the forum allowed anonymous replies, so their embarrassing comments wouldn’t be traced back to them.
With every rumor disproven, the credibility of the original post was reduced to nothing. Furious at being misled, students became determined to unmask the identity of the poster. The Sullivan family and the Wilson family were also working with hackers to track down the culprit behind the defamatory rumors.
Sophia sat frozen in her chair, cold sweat trickling down. In just a few posts, Hudson and the others had obliterated everything she had carefully schemed. No one believed her accusations anymore, and many on the forum were calling for her to apologize. Hudson and Asher even declared they would press defamation charges against the poster!
At this moment, Sophia’s only solace was that she had posted anonymously…
“Could it have been Mia who did this?” one performing arts student speculated after the dramatic reversal. “It really seems like something Mia would do. She’s always bullying Olivia. I heard her family is on the verge of bankruptcy. Maybe she was just venting her frustration.”
Hearing the whispers, Mia’s face darkened instantly. Sophia, sensing an opportunity, chimed in, “Mia, no matter what, Olivia is still our classmate. How could you slander her like that?”
Mia glared at Sophia, feeling completely wronged.
