Not Your Doormat Anymore novel Chapter 88

"Those are your rights, but if you want to take legal action, you'll need to hire someone to draft the complaint statement," the officer informed me.

"No worries. I have a lawyer."

After our brief conversation, Rachel deleted the video while we watched. Then, she recorded another video, apologizing to me in tears and admitting her mistake.

When the video was posted online, the netizens who had been leading the charge in slandering me were left completely dumbfounded.

"What? That's it? Has it even been five hours since this started?"

"Wow, they move this fast now? Don't these things usually drag on for at least three to five days?"

"This was the fastest counterattack in history!"

"This is why you don't commit defamation. You could actually get arrested for it!"

While the online crowd remained stunned, Lindsey had already set up a business account upon my request and uploaded the evidence in a video format to clear my name.

Despite a few paid trolls continuing to spread hate, most people were able to judge the situation fairly—especially after the police department's official account reposted the same video.

By the time I got home that evening, everything had been resolved. I was now being called the "fastest CEO" online.

I wasn't particularly fond of the nickname, but when I saw the growing number of followers on my social media, I decided to let their little joke slide.

After I announced that I would take legal action against those who had helped spread false information about me, those people followed in Rachel's footsteps and uploaded apology videos of their own.

Mom and Dad had noticed the sudden shift in public opinion. When they saw me return home, Mom grabbed my hand, clearly concerned.

"You've been through so much, Jace. What's wrong with those people? How dare they spread lies

when they don't even know you!" Mom said angrily.
