"Seren, are you the poster who claimed to be the sole witness?"
When Seren got the call, her heart skipped a beat.
Who was this mystery caller?
How on earth did they know her online handle right off the bat?
"Who the heck are you? Some kind of scammer? Listen here, buddy, I'm broke as a joke. So, if you're trying to hustle me, you can take a hike!"
But before she could hang up, the voice on the other end let out a deep, steady chuckle. "Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Leo, an attorney with The Howard Group's legal department. I'm calling today to check if you're the person behind that ID and if you've been posting under it. If so, I regret to inform you that cooperation and the provision of certain documents are necessary for a matter we're currently handling."
Seren's pulse raced. She indeed used that username, and lately, the only thing that could tie back to her was the actress Ivy.
She'd made a few comments online, never expecting to stir up such a storm. Somehow, her posts caught fire, with social media influencers sharing her thread and making her an overnight sensation.
Transitioning from being a nobody in real life to a hot topic online, with followers hanging on her every word, her ego soared, not to mention the enticing prospect of cashing in.
"Big shot lawyer, huh? And how did you get my personal info? Just so you know, that's a privacy violation, and I can sue for that!"
