Frustration twisted Bennett’s expression as he furiously clicked on the comments section, intending to write a harsh response and teach this clueless blonde girl a lesson.
However, to his astonishment, the most liked comment contained an address.
“After going through all the major home–buying guides this house in Eragos hits every single red flag! Huge pitfalls everywhere! If you’re buying a second–hand house, make sure to steer clear of these traps, seriously!”
“Wait a minute, isn’t this the house from the neighborhood next to mine? My family almost purchased it!”
“The current owner of this house must be having terrible luck.”
“Does anyone know who owns this place? Maybe someone should warn him, geomancy is no joke!”
“There’s no need to feel sorry for this homeowner. He completely desees what’s happening!”
Beneath this discussion, an “insider” shared revealing details about Bennett’s past actions, how he heartlessly cast out the girl he raised when he learned she wasn’t his biological daughter, ignored his elderly mother while she wasted away in a nursing home, sabotaged competitors in his industry, and the true cause behind his financial downfall. Every disgraceful act was laid bare, leaving him with nowhere to hide.
Onlookers couldn’t help but sigh.
“This is exactly what people mean by retribution. Bad deeds don’t go unpunished; they just take time.”
“With so much wealth, yet he mistreated his own mother and adopted daughter? Who would ever trust him in business? He’s the kind of person who would stab you in the back the moment you let your guard down!”
“I’ve been checking out properties in Eragos recently, and I never expected to stumble upon this kind of rumor. The internet truly never disappoints.”
“Haha! I can confirm this rumor is legit. Because of my ob, I attended the bidding event for South City’s development. Bennett strutted in like he had the deal in the bag, acting all smug before the results were even announced. But when he lost, he was completely umiliated. It was priceless.”
“Wait, did he have insider info? Did he try to pull string and bribe officials? Someone like that definitely needs to be investigated!”
“Agreed! How does a man like this live in such a luxurious home? Authorities should look into him!”
“Eragos, stop sleeping on the job and do something about this!”
Bennett’s face twisted when he saw the last comment, and he swore inwardly.

D*mn it!
Now they wanted to investigate me? These d*mn gossips! They were going to regret this!
He grabbed his phone and yelled at his secretary, “What are you waiting for? Get that person to take down the video, right now!”
His frustration, panic, and fury all crashed together, his head throbbing as if it might explode.
What an absolute disaster!
The assistant sighed in frustration. “Mr. Read, I already attempted to get in touch with this blogger before coming to you. Her account is private, and she isn’t connected to any official group. She completely ignored my messages, and I had no way to reach her.”
Bennett shouted furiously, “She spread false rumors about my house and made me suffer financial losses. I demand that she pays for this!”
Hearing his unreasonable demand, the assistant felt helpless. “Mr. Read, she never specifically referred to your house. She only discussed some negative geomancy features that other users pointed out. And the original poster has a foreign IP address, so there’s no way for us to trace them.”
“Why am I stuck with someone as incompetent as you
Bennett was so enraged that his face turned red, his yelling loud enough for neighbors passing by to overhear. They whispered among themselves, throwing curious glances toward his yard.
Furious, he slammed the gate shut, instinctively lifting his phone, ready to smash it onto the
ground.
His hand hovered in the air before he hesitated, suddenly reconsidering. Frustrated, he could only vent his anger by kicking off his slippers.
“Haha, Boss, that was a genius move! Now, not only is Bennett’s house impossible to sell, but all the trouble he stirred up is out in the open. The whole company is on the verge of chaos!”
At first, most people online had no idea who Bennett was. However, as rumors and fortune–telling discussions spread, curiosity took hold.
Within just a few hours, both Bennett and his house skyrocketed into the top ten trending topies on short video platforms.
Rex got the update from Mia and immediately rushed to find Charmaine
He had been eagerly waiting for the downfall of the Nelsons and the Reads. Now, watching Bennett face the consequences of his own actions was incredibly satisfying.
