Ellen laughed upon hearing that. Meanwhile, Jared suddenly pulled her into his arms
and said, “It looks like you've had enough rest.” “Jared, are you even human? Ellen
asked surprisedly.
“| can be anything other than human when you're here with me.” As soon as he spoke,
he carried her toward the master bedroom. The streetlights lit up when night fell.
Selena had been waiting for Jay’s message in the hotel, and finally, she received it.
He finally found a solution after careful consideration. Jay happened to be familiar with
the competitor who had competed with Ellen.
He decided to bribe the competitor to admit that he had secretly taken Ellen's money
and intentionally lost to her, who was a newcomer. Since the competitor felt resentful
and humiliated for losing to a newcomer like Ellen, he was more than happy to seize
the opportunity and smear her name.
Jay explained his plan to Selena over the phone. and asked her to be patient. “Can
you denounce Ellen’s championship qualification by doing this?” Selena asked.

“Even if you can’t take away her championship qualification, you can still ruin her
reputation and make her win without honor.”
“Okay, then I'll wait and see. As long as Ellen’s reputation is ruined, I'll let you go,
Selena said. “Selena, this is as far as | can go, Jay said helplessly.
With that, Selena immediately went online and followed the comments made by the
contestant. As expected, he spread rumors. about the incident online, which instantly
caused a buzz.
Media outlets even reposted his post and spoke out about it. Meanwhile, the furious
Selena posted more than a dozen insulting comments about Ellen, all of it which were
extremely inappropriate.

news. Her goal was to ruin Ellen’s reputation and make her the object of criticism and
abuse on the internet. Before this, news about Ellen and Jared was still trending, but
the topic of the suspicion of Ellen's championship being rigged quickly rose to the top.
Fans who had previously held a favorable opinion of Ellen could not believe that she
had paid to gain the championship. Moreover, media analysts speculated that Ellen's
championship was bought by her boyfriend, Jared, and everyone instantly believed it.
There was no doubt that the president of Presgrave Corporation could manipulate the
results of the competition through power and money and at the stime, promote
his girlfriend as the champion.
Ellen received a call from the team leader at 8.00PM. “Ellen, have you seen what's
happening online? What's going on?” the team leader asked.
Ellen had no idea what had happened since she hadn't touched her phone at all.
“Nicholas, did something happen?” she asked.
“Your opponent, Alden, said that you paid him off before the competition. He
intentionally lost to you and let you win the championship. Is there any truth to this?”
“Nicholas, what are you talking about? There’s no such thing,” Ellen said firmly. She
didn’t expect Alden, would resort to such means to discredit her after losing the game.

that he was displeased about losing the game. However, right now, he was trying to
ruin her reputation using such means. This infuriated. her very much.
“Are you sure?” Nicholas asked again. “I'm sure, and | certainly did not bribe him.
Moreover, | didn’t even know him before this.” Ellen was very certain.
“It seems that many people don’t believe you won the championship fairly this time.
It's okay, Ellen, we'll talk to them about this. Don’t be too bothered by this as we know
your capabilities,” Nicholas comforted her and hung up the call.
After that, Ellen quickly sat on the couch and searched for information related to
herself on her phone. She saw Alden’s posts, which directly accused Ellen of bribing
him to make him lose the game. Upon seeing that, she breathed heavily while anger
burned in her eyes. She couldn't believe that such shameless people existed!
Soon, Jared walked over with a glass of water and saw her biting her lips while staring
at the phone screen furiously. “What happened? Is something wrong?” he asked
concernedly.
