“Great. Can you do me a favor? A food blogger named Hanson will be uploading a video later today to expose himself. I need to make sure that the public flays him enough that he could never make a comeback.”

Though taken aback by what Casper said, Tiana agreed readily. “Okay, I’ll let my contacts know.”
