Sunny quickly took the phone out of the drawer. Then, he plugged one end of the data cable into the phone and the other into Lucas' computer before plugging in his flash drive. He did all of that very swiftly, but just when he was about to copy the video into his flash drive...

"What are you doing?" asked Lucas coldly, appearing in the room.

Sunny immediately froze in place. He stiffly raised his head and said, "Lucas... I was... was just looking up some information on the computer..."

Lucas narrowed his eyes. "Why would you use my computer instead of yours?"

Sunny started to panic even more. “Umm.... I... I suddenly remembered I missed out on some information when I came in here, and I was worried that I'll forget again if I didn't look it up now, so I thought I could just use your computer..."

While he spoke, Sunny had sneakily unplugged the data cable and put the female influencer's phone into his pocket.

Lucas' expression remained unchanged. He easily saw through what Sunny did. He took a step forward and stretched out a hand. "Hand it over."

Sunny pretended he did not know what Lucas was talking about. His eyes darted around as he said, "Hand... Hand what over?"

"How dare you still lie when you've already been caught in the act? Is this where you put your mind into? Learning how to lie instead of studying?"

At the mention of studying, Sunny became a little ashamed of himself. He knew he could not keep his lie from Lucas anymore, so he obediently handed over the phone to him. "Lucas, I'm sorry. I admit I took the phone, but I just wanted to..."

Lucas took the phone and held it up in front of Sunny's face. "I don't care what you were thinking, but you shouldn't have posted that video online to slander someone who's helped your grandfather in the past! "What...?" Sunny was stunned. He did not understand the words coming out of Lucas' mouth.

Lucas scoffed. "Did you really think everything is fine just because you blurred out our grandfather's face? I only testified against Corinne at the police station because I thought she had done something to hurt Anya. You know I won't tolerate anyone who did anything to hurt her. The police had concluded that the case had nothing to do with Corinne, and you still did something like this to slander her? Aren't you afraid of the others calling the Rivera family ungrateful?"

"Lucas, what are you talking about? I wasn't the one who posted that video online," said Sunny, feeling very hard done by.

Lucas frowned when he saw how firm Sunny was. He could not help but think he had gotten the wrong person...

"Lucas. Sunny. What's going on? I was on my way down to get some water, but I heard the two of you arguing," said Anya, who suddenly appeared in the study dressed in her pajamas. She looked at the two o them with worried eyes.

Sunny was happy to see her because he knew she would always take his side. He immediately ran up to her and said, "Anya, Lucas was so mean to me. He was accusing me of doing something I didn't do even when I told him I wasn't the one who posted that video online to slander Corinne."

Anya frowned and gently patted Sunny on the shoulder to calm him down. Then, she turned to face Lucas and said, "Lucas, you shouldn't accuse Sunny when you don't have solid proof. What if
