New beginning: Billionaire love story

Chapter 180 A lead?

The next day, Claire arrived at her office early, her mind focused on the plan she and Alex had discussed. She had meticulously prepared the document with Sandra to release to the press.

Just as Claire began to review the document one last time, her phone buzzed with a notification. She glanced at the screen and saw multiple messages from Alex. Curious, she opened them and found a link to a video posted online. "What's this?" Claire muttered to herself, clicking on the link. The video loaded, and her heart skipped a beat as she saw a short clip from her wedding with Alex. It was a fleeting moment, captured and shared without their consent. Claire watched the video intently, feeling transported back to that day.

Matthew, who was sitting across from her in the office, noticed her expression. "What's going on, Claire? What are we going to do about it?"

Claire sighed, tearing her gaze away from the screen. "We need to track down the post. It's only been up for three hours, so maybe we can contain it before it spreads."

Matthew nodded, pulling up his laptop. "I'll start searching social media and news sites. We might be able to find who posted it."

While Matthew is on the work tracking the source, Claire decided to call Alex to talk about this unexpected post. It's funny how yesterday they were discussing the press conference that they will hold this week and have prepared everything and now it seems like they have to work on it once more.

Claire dialed Alex's number to talk about this unexpected situation.

"Alex,"

"Claire, why are you calling? Is this because of the video?"

Claire nodded, even though Alex couldn't see her. "It is. I can't believe there is another video about us. How did they get their hands on those in the first place?"

Alex sighed. "I don't know, Claire. I'm wondering the same thing too. But don't worry, Christian has told me about it, and I told him to get the post deleted before it get view and share many times."

"I have tell Matthew to help me trace it back so e can find the person behind this."

There was a moment of silence between them, the weight of the situation hanging in the air. Then, out of nowhere, Alex asked, "Do you still remember that moment?"

Claire's grip on her phone tightened, her expression hardening. "I don't really remember much of it," she replied flatly, her voice devoid of emotion.

"Oh," Alex responded simply, sensing her discomfort. "Anyway, Claire, If you need to go out or anything, be careful. The paparazzi might be swarming, trying to get more information."
