Chapter 259:
At this point, Jacoby began to realize that something was amiss.
He swiftly grabbed his phone again and opened the article, only to be stunned into silence by what he read. The article, which initially appeared to be an exposé on Rosalie’s dark secrets, quickly revealed itself as nothing more than sensational clickbait.
The article explicitly declared that the Campbell family’s collaboration with Skyline Group had drawn the envy of various individuals because of their prominent status.
The article pointedly accused Jacoby of stirring up trouble several times at the Campbell family’s construction site. It further revealed that he had teamed up with Rolland, a notorious fugitive, to deliberately sabotage the Campbell family’s ambitious project.
The author asserted that he had uncovered this nefarious plot and, driven by a sense of justice, felt compelled to expose it and prevent further wrongdoing. The piece included numerous photos of Jacoby engaged in dubious activities in Staville.
Instead of tarnishing Rosalie’s reputation, the article portrayed her as an innocent victim and condemned Jacoby in the harshest terms.
At the conclusion of the article, the author added a scornful remark: “Ultimately, all wrongdoing will be brought to justice p>
Upon finishing the article, Jacoby’s face turned a deep shade of red as he struggled to contain his fury. In a fit of rage, he violently smashed his phone to pieces on the floor.

Jacoby’s face reddened with fury, leaving him momentarily speechless.
Meanwhile, Rolland, who had also read the article on his phone, remained unfazed. With a nonchalant smile, he commented, “It is truly remarkable how these media outlets will fabricate anything for a bit of cash. You may doubt my identity, but I encourage everyone to form their own judgments. It is possible that our honest remarks on the design of the exhibition hall were deemed inconvenient by some, who then framed us deliberately p>
As he spoke, Rolland cast a pointed look toward Ashton and Rosalie.
Although he did not directly name them, his refined rhetoric subtly redirected suspicion toward them.
At this moment, Jacoby regained his composure and quickly sought a way to deflect blame.
