At that time, Alice was still lost in dreams. She dozed until the sun was high, woke up to a message from the enforcement officer, and anticipated news on her case. She tapped on the message and saw...

Alice was incredulous at the enforcement officer's dismissal of her claim.

The Phillips Group was innocent? The revelation stunned her.

Could Lilah wield such influence? No, it must be Gerard behind this.

The audacity of the wealthy appalled her. Despite their wealth, Gerard's and Lilah's frugality knew no bounds.

Gripping her phone, Alice felt a surge of indignation. The skin of her palm blanched from the pressure. She refused to be subjugated so easily. It was her right to be compensated.

Taking a steadying breath, Alice steeled herself. She wouldn't give Lilah the satisfaction of seeing her defeated.

Alice confronted the officer, typing, "Did Gerard pressure you? I'm the victim here. It's your duty as an officer to protect my right!"

The officer replied promptly, "Ms. Wilson, Lilah has reasonable grounds for your dismissal. Perhaps you should go ask her."

Alice retorted, “Lilah's grounds are nothing more than personal. She doesn't Like me and wants to take away my power. How can you give in to that? You're the law enforcers!" Her frustration poured out through her words.

The officer's continued denial fueled her resolve.

At last, she came up with an idea. She recorded a video and shared a screenshot of the officer's messages alongside it.

In the video, tears streaked her face while her voice resonated with unwavering conviction. “I could never have imagined their influence would be so extensive. I am scared, but I will never admit defeat because of this. Giving in would only embolden them. There's no telling how many more victims there will be."

When the video was released, waves of shock reverberated across the online community.

"Unbelievable! Is the Harris family so powerful? No wonder Lilah acts so high and mighty."

"I've been waiting to see a slap in Lilah's face. How can this be happening?"

"We demand the court to hold the Phillips Group accountable.

Otherwise, we will not stop drawing attention."

The netizens felt that their rights and interests were compromised, so they commented directly on the court's official account to cause trouble. The court's officials were left at a loss for words.

A lone voice countered, “Don't judge and stop talking if you don't know the whole story."

Everyone thought this netizen was implying something, but the public perception was clear: Alice was the victim.

This sentiment was not lost on Lilah's social media either. Comments under her most recent tweet surged to a staggering one hundred thousand as workers expressed their outrage.

As she witnessed the fervor of online support, Alice's bitterness subsided somewhat. Even if she couldn't get the money, she found solace in the thought that Lilah wouldn't be left unscathed. Besides, Lilah would also affect the stock of the Phillips Group. By that time, what Lilah would lose would be much more than the compensation.

The spectacle unfolded into the afternoon until Lilah finally broke her silence.
