After Stephen left in a hurry, the scene erupted into chaos.

That video shattered their plan to use a scapegoat! It could even backfire on them and make the consequences more severe!

Even though the video was quickly deleted, it was too late. Some people had seen it, and some had saved it. People abroad could also easily find the video.

Cold sweat broke out on Simon's forehead.
