SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS-Chapter 862 - 860: PANICKING

Sitting inside the cell, Paul couldn’t help but wonder what he really got himself into.

It was supposed to be another simple job: interview a victim, spread the awareness of two-faced people, get his money, get famous and gain more subscribers. But in just hours, the world he had created seemed to be crumbling down.

How did he get her?

He couldn’t help but ask himself as he looked at the pitiful victim he once was interviewing, but now was in the same situation as him.

It all felt like a dream now, but that was the cold reality.

They had taken on a person who was not like any other. He had done a bit of quick research and had seen the numerous threats that Diamond had made against people like him. But he didn’t believe it. Which famous person, especially these celebrities, didn’t fear them?

With just a single video from them, they could destroy their lives. So, what was there to fear?

He believed that all this while until he found himself sitting across a cold-blooded lawyer who fearlessly handed over a file full of interesting things that he believed only he knew and yet he found himself naked in front of that lawyer.

Such a powerful person. Why did he provoke her?

Now it was already too late to regret.

The whole internet had seen him getting arrested and yet those people didn’t even send anyone or call him. Were they trying to cast him aside now that he was in danger?

Thinking about what that lawyer suggested, Paul couldn’t help but feel tempted. If he didn’t save himself, he might end up staying behind bars for crimes he committed previously.

He suddenly looked at the police officers on duty and his eyes lit up as he thought of something.

Paul hurried to his feet and took large strides to the bars. "Officer, can I make a call?"

****

Meanwhile, in a certain room, a couple was entangled, naked and covered by pure white sheets. There was a recently extinguished cigarette on an ashtray and the room had the smoke from the cigarettes.

The couple on the bed didn’t have happy smiles on their faces, but their eyes seemed to be riddled with worry.

"Have you found out what’s going on? Did anyone call yet?" the female asked panickily as she looked at the man lying next to her.

The man shook his head as he placed the phone, he was holding a moment ago on the bedside.

"There is nothing."

The woman panicked when she heard that. She nervously asked, "Then, what should we do? Do you think that he will sell us out?"

The man scoffed when he heard that and pulled the woman in his embrace, "Feli, he wouldn’t dare. If he does something like that, then his career would crumble. Moreover, we didn’t leave any evidence. Would he even point it at us?"

When the woman, Feli, heard that. She sighed with relief and her face suddenly lit up.

"That’s good. I was worried for a moment, Jack. I don’t want to see that lunatic retaliating. We have concerts to perform at."

Jack smiled as he caressed his lover, though his gaze darkened when he heard about that lunatic.

"We might have failed this time, but it won’t remain the same. Besides, I have checked the news about Diamond and she is losing followers and fans."

Feli trembled with excitement when she heard that. "Is that true? Haha, then the move was worth it! It’s a pity that they got caught early before they could damage her any further!"

Jack agreed to Feli’s words. Who made such an unknown person just come up and take all the fame that was supposed to be theirs?

They weren’t the only ones who disliked Diamond. There were many of them. They were in this industry for a long time and gave their all to singing and performing. And yet someone who popped from nowhere. In just a few months, she had made a buzz which none of them ever caused.

The number of followers on her social media accounts was too terrifying. When they compared that with theirs, they wished they could assassinate the other and erase her from the world.

Not only that, but when Diamond released her songs, they kept an eye on the stats and it made them nearly explode with fury.

Watching as the number of downloads surpassed millions in just a few days, how could that be possible?

Right now, if they were to check the number of plays on Quetube for the lyric’s videos, they would want to cry.

It was simply unbelievable. She only has five songs sung in two languages and yet she had managed to reach a point that the both of them failed.

And to think that Diamond dared pick May to hold her mini-concert, they didn’t know what to do.

Everyone was clamoring to attend Diamond’s concert, but what about theirs?

There was no mention of it. It was as if the news about their concerts just went cold. Even the online local articles kept on talking about Diamond. How could that be tolerated?

Thankfully, the heavens heard their prayers. The video of Agatha who got kicked out by Diamond went viral. People online sometimes don’t care about the truth. They just want to take the story as they want it.

Seeing the hate comments against her, the two lovers decided to take things further. They hired Paul, who ran the THEINSIDER page and paid him handsomely.

Who knew that before the interview even lasted thirty minutes, things would end that way?

They spent the whole day separately worried about getting exposed, but after the day ended, there was no such thing.

Perhaps Paul was afraid of exposing them and didn’t have any evidence to tie them to the matter, thus they were saved.

All the worry suddenly vanished. They could continue with their concerts in peace. Although they failed to cause a lot of damage to Diamond now, she still suffered a blow, and that was enough.

For now, they would just continue to monitor the headlines and see where the matter would go.

What the couple didn’t know, however, was that the moment they failed to show concern and called Paul. Paul started having ideas, and the couple was going to regret it in the future.

Who made them anger a woman equipped with an AI system and a professional when it comes to exposing gossip and scandals?

They were destined for a wonderful expose in the future.

*****

At the same time, Kiara, sitting in the office, was not having it easy. She was blowing with anger as she saw the numerous confessions these staff were sending.

Who would have guessed that despite the numerous warnings, some people would be so bold to reach their hands where they shouldn’t have?

To make matters worse, there were even a few from the law firm. She felt like she had failed Diamond, and that made her so angry. However, seeing them confessing also made her feel at ease. At least, they were repentant and were willing to change.

Of course, the matter would depend on how Diamond wants to deal with it. After all, if she wants everyone sentenced, Kiara would have no choice but to follow the order.

These people stole from the company and that alone was enough to sue them.

****

Nancy wasn’t having it easy as well. She didn’t know who was helping her, but the more she received the information on the people she was looking into, the darker her expression became.

Although the project was never under her, it still made her furious when she thought about the kind of rotten eggs that had been working for Diamond all this time.

From stealing cash, selling goods underground and using other means to take things from the shop. There were so many things that these capable employees were doing. Nancy just wanted to clear the whole group.

Unfortunately, among the rotten apples. There were still several good people who weren’t part of these corrupt people.

She could only make two lists and continue to focus on the matter seriously.

She couldn’t keep the supermarkets closed. They would be losing money.

****

On the other hand, the staff who had decided to confess their sins were nervous as they watched their phones with red eyes.

They haven’t received any responses and that scared them. They kept on refreshing, but there was nothing.

They didn’t know if they would be forgiven or not. After all, for some of them, they have already used the money while for others, the money was still there but invested elsewhere.

They could only anxiously wait and hoped that they would be shown mercy.

However, there were others who still didn’t believe that they could be caught and didn’t think that Diamond was that capable.

Why confess and reveal themselves? Wouldn’t that be foolish?

Besides, how could they be caught when they did everything in secret?

One of them belonged to the laboratory. After the warning was issued, that person didn’t even panic but even called the person he was working with.

"In the days that follow, I will try to send the rest of the formula to you. Remember to send the balance."

[I will send it even now. What you have sent already, we can see progress. As long as you send everything, I promise to even give you a fatty bonus!]

The man smiled happily when he heard that.

"I won’t disappoint you!" he readily agreed before ending the call.

He greedily rubbed his hands, already seeing the money in his account.

Who didn’t love money?

As for loyalty, what does that have to do with him?

He was only loyal to money.

But what if he were to learn that from day one, all his actions had been faithfully recorded? What would he do?
