The moment this announcement dropped, it caused an even bigger explosion than the last one.

“You’re confused. All those paid agitators posted the most toxic stuff, which means they’re on the lawsuit list.

If Luna could throw money around to hire paid shills, then Mira was perfectly fine tossing cash out to reward the students who had defended her.
After a move like this, who would ever dare insult her again?
In terms of sheer assets, the current Solflare Group was still far behind the old- money Lance Family.
But the crucial difference was that Luna barely held any shares in her family’s empire, and she definitely didn’t call the shots.
To put it bluntly, her only real value was as a pawn for marriage alliances. Her status within her family was worlds apart from Lawrence’s.
On the flip side, Solflare wasn’t a publicly traded company. It had very few shareholders, meaning power was entirely concentrated, and Mira had the absolute final say.
Besides, Solflare had always been involved in philanthropy, frequently sponsoring impoverished students who couldn’t afford their tuition.
To Mira, this sudden burst of generosity was simply a way to treat her own supporters well while rewarding good and punishing evil.
Money was meant to be spent. As long as she felt it was worth it, she would pay up.
Hoarding wealth without enjoying it didn’t make someone frugal; it just made them a miser.
That was why Mira never settled for second best when it came to her clothes, food, or lifestyle. She didn’t always demand the most expensive things, but she absolutely insisted on what she liked best.
This applied to the people around her, too. Whether it was Rachel, the household staff, or her bodyguards, she paid them top-tier industry salaries and threw in frequent bonuses.
Otherwise, why would anyone be fiercely loyal and go above and beyond for her?
Meanwhile, Elara and Leah felt a bit too embarrassed to go collect their money. Mika gently nudged them, “Go on, it’s at the same place we ate last time. Just think of it as hanging but to support my event, plusthere’s great food waiting for you
It was only two bus stops away, or an easy bike ride.
Anticipating that her friends might feel shy, Mira also texted Harvey, telling him to urge his roommates to go claim their rewards.
At the same time, Lawrence and Jude were fiercely debating how Mira’s camp had managed to pull the perpetrators’ names so quickly.
“How on earth did they compile that list in less than twenty-four hours p>
Lawrence asked Jude.
“They have some incredibly elite cybersecurity talent p>
Jude replied without even looking up.
“Now I remember. Back in Melvion_ City when Mira was tearing down Porter Entertainment, even Lucian dn’t hold a candle to her
people.
It’s entirely possible Mira just hacked into the Aethelgard Social Forum herself and pulled the data p>
“Those kids are absolute idiots. They offended the wrong person just to run their mouths p>
“They probably had no idea she was the boss of Solflare Group p>
Just as the two men were deep in discussion, Lawrence’s phone rang. It was his sister.
“Lawrence! Mira is suing me! They’re really pressing charges, you have to think of something right now p>
“Suing you? Suing you for what p>
Lawrence didn’t process it immediately.
“Check the exposed list and see if your sister’s name is on there p>
Jude reminded him.
Lawrence frowned, pulled up the webpage he had just been looking at, and instantly
spotted his sister’s name glaring back at him.
“That absolute moron p>
She had so much money at her disposal. If she hated someone, couldn’t she just pay professionals to do the dirty work? Why would she incriminate herself directly?
He quickly dialed Luna’s number.
“You knew you had bad blood with her, yet you still charged headfirst into a wall.
Were you dropped on your head as a baby p>
“I-I thought no one would find out! I used a burner account to post anonymously, I just didn’t expect p>
“Haven’t I told you a thousand times never to put yourself in the line of fire?
No matter the situation, it’s better to lose money than to take the fall yourself.
Let me tell you right now, I can’t fix this p>
Hanging up the phone, Lawrence looked over at Jude. “What the hell am I supposed to do about this p>
