Chapter 487
Joshua cocked his head, his eyes cold and razor-sharp. "That apology doesn't sound sincere to me."
Lottie's face crumpled, tears spilling over as she sobbed to Allison, "I'm sorry, Ms. Allison, | really am. Please, I'm
begging you-letgo. | shouldn't have spread rumors about you, shouldn't have embarrassed you in front of
everyone. Please, just givea chance to fix this."
Allison's gaze was icy. "Post a three-thousand-word apology on every social platform you have, pin it to the top
for a month, and paya hundred thousand dollars for emotional damages."
Lottie went pale, looking miserable. "Ms. Allison, | have hundreds of thousands of followers on Weibo and Little
Red Book. My whole inccomes from brand deals and sponsorships-if | post this, my whole image will
collapse..."
"So you're saying no?" Allison shot her a look that could freeze water.
Lottie bit her lip, looking even more pitiful. "It's not that | won't do it—it's just... this
is too much. You're askingto destroy my own career."
Someone in the crowd chimed in, "Ms. Allison, her whole online persona is 'foreign-educated, rich, and classy.""
Allison's voice was cool and steady. "If you don't want to apologize this way, that's fine."

A flicker of relief flashed in Lottie's eyes. "Thank you, Ms. Allison, | knew you— Allison cut her off, voice flat.
"Then we'll settle it in court."
Lottie froze, her mouth half-open.
The crowd started whispering.
"Ms. Owens is being generous. If it were me, I'd have called her out right here."
"Generous? Please. Ms. Allison's move is brutal-she's basically ending Lottie's career."
"Oh, con. Clearly, you don't get how the inteworks-it forgets everything. And honestly, Lottie's pretty
shameless. Once this blows over, she'll be back making money like nothing happened."
"Totally agree. The intenever remembers."
Lottie's eyes darted around as she did the math. If she went to court, with the Fisher and Owens families power,
this wouldn't stop at an apology or smoney-she might even end up in jail. There was that one influencer,
Kate, who got sued for slander and actually served time.
Losing her reputation was bad, but jail was much worse.
She took a shaky breath and said, "Ms. Allison, I'll do it. | accept your conditions."
