His Wicked Obsession (Archer and Virginia) novel Chapter 276

"Get those trending topics taken down immediately. And contact Starlight's PR team. I want a formal statement drafted and posted from the official corporate account within ten minutes."

Zachary agreed instantly from the other end of the line.

Archer hung up and noticed both of them standing there. He looked directly at Miles. "Don't worry. All your medical records and the legal files from back then are safely with the Vanderbilt legal department. Julian Caldwell knows exactly what to do."

Exactly eight minutes later.

Starlight Entertainment posted a lengthy update on their official account.

There was no emotional manipulation, no sob story—just cold, irrefutable evidence.

Attachment 1: A clinical diagnosis of severe depression when Miles was sixteen, alongside a diary entry Virginia had found when he was eighteen, explicitly detailing the psychological abuse and emotional neglect he suffered at home.

Attachment 2: A signed 'Waiver of Medical Treatment' authorized and signed by Richard and Eleanor Sutton when their son, Wesley, was left in a comatose state at eighteen following a car crash.

Attachment 3: Five solid years of medical billing records from the Swiss Recovery Center for the Chinese-Swiss patient, Miles Sutton. The receipts clearly showed millions of dollars in expenses, none of which were paid by the Sutton family.

The caption was a single, devastating sentence: [Do not preach morality when you have not suffered the pain. Starlight Entertainment will be pursuing full legal action against all defamatory claims.]

The moment the post went live, the narrative flipped entirely.

The fanbase exploded.

[Holy sh*t! They actually signed a waiver to pull the plug?! And now they have the nerve to beg for cash?!]

[I am sobbing. Our boy had severe clinical depression when he was only sixteen. He must have been in so much agony!]

[Those bloodsucking parents can go straight to hell! Sue them into the ground, Starlight!]

"Thank you, Mrs. Caldwell."

The formal address made Madeline flinch.

She forced a strained laugh, desperately trying to bridge the gap. "Sweetheart, why are you being so distant?"

"Look, I wanted to come stay with you and take care of you after your accident, but Chloe had a sudden breakdown. She was threatening suicide, refusing to eat or drink for days... I really couldn't leave her alone."

Virginia lowered her eyes, watching the pale purple ripples in her tea. She didn't say a word.

Madeline bit her lip, her voice cracking with genuine distress. "You've been through so much with this crash. I know I've failed you in a lot of ways over the years."

She paused. "But I raised Chloe from a baby. Seeing her in such a terrible state, constantly threatening to end her life... I just don't have the heart to abandon her. Ginny, you're the older sister. Can't you just be a little more understanding?"
