Chapter 243
Outside City Hospital, Bowen received a call. “Mr. Turner, as instructed, we’ve anonymously reported the suspicious circumstances surrounding Arthur’s fall to the police. They’ve dispatched officers to the Military Hospital to investigate,” the caller said.
Meanwhile, at the Military Hospital, Arthur was already out of danger. Before Stanley could I put on his “doting father” act for the media, several uniformed officers appeared and flashed their badges at him.
“Sir, we’re the city police. You’re suspected of attempted murder. Please come with us,” an officer said.
The news about Stanley’s arrest by the police spread quickly. Simultaneously, the intense discussion between Lynn and Aubree went viral, instantly escalating the incident.
Arthur’s grandparents were also taken away for investigation. Since Lynn was pregnant, she received special consideration. She wasn’t allowed to leave Rithol City for the time being and was required to cooperate with the police at all times. Arthur was also placed under protective custody.
When the news broke out, Ronald was livid. He never intended for this incident to directly take down Playzy, he only wanted the Morgan family to stir up controversy online to prevent the truth from surfacing.
According to Ronald’s plan, Playzy would be bogged down by this incident and take a massive hit. He would then seize the chance to prop up Carmen’s MindDrift and crush Playzy.
He never expected Aubree, amidst her troubles, to sabotage MindDrift. But then again, Carmen was just a fool. She couldn’t wait to jump right into the trap set for her.
MindDrift was beyond salvation, but Ronald found some comfort in the increasing public backlash against live streaming.
Since MindDrift is doomed, I might as well make Aubree suffer too. It would be even better if the Morgan family could stir up more drama. If Arthur were dead and that sparked public outrage, it would lead to the best outcome,‘ he thought.
However, who would’ve thought that in the end, the very fire Ronald started ended up burning him instead?
With the Morgan family under investigation and Bowen discreetly passing messages, the situation had garnered intense public attention online, causing the city police to remain vigilant.
As for Ronald, he was uncertain if the authorities would uncover the truth. Justice had a long reach, and he no longer had time to focus on teaching Aubree a lesson. His top priority was to figure out how to distance himself from the entire situation.
At this point, Aubree knew she didn’t need to lift a finger; the situation would naturally ease by itself. In the end, the outcome was as she had expected.
Then came an unexpected twist: Arthur regained consciousness and revealed how his father had plotted to push him off the building.
As a result, the entire Morgan family was convicted on varying degrees of charges. Lynn, overwhelmed, suffered a miscarriage. However, even after her recovery, there was no way for her to escape imprisonment.
Upon his discharge from the hospital, Arthur was picked up by his maternal grandparents, who lived in another city. Unfortunately, Ronald managed to walk away unscathed.
He had only reached an agreement with the Morgan family; he never explicitly fold them what to do. He provided the money, and they handled the rest. Whatever methods the Morgan family used had nothing to do with him.
Aubree remained undeterred. Her mission now was to dismantle the Wilson Group step by step. Once that colossal, towering tree finally toppled, it would mark the demise of the Wilson family.
Controversial incidents related to livestreaming kept cropping up one after another. Not long after, new regulations were introduced to tighten control over the industry. Seizing the opportunity, Aubree launched two new livestreaming channels: product–based livestream sales and PK–style interactive battles.
The official announcement specifically stated that the purpose of PK was to encourage mutual promotion and learning between streamers. If the

platform detected any violations or inappropriate language, the livestream would be immediately shut down, and in severe cases, the account i permanently terminated.
Unlike MindDrift’s lack of boundaries, Playzy’s approach was more humane and regulated. With the launch of these two new livestream forma, Play experienced another surge in traffic. Of course, some streamers still tried to bend the rules and push the limits, but things remained within control.
