Ignoring Sophia's desperate cries, he strode out of the room.
The moment he was out of the hospital, he called his Beta.
"Dig up all the dirt you can find on Sophia Summers and bring it to my office."

The Beta was efficient.
Within two hours, a thick file was on his desk.
Daniel went through it, page by page.
With every page he turned, his expression grew darker, the rage inside him burning hotter.
When he finished the last page, Daniel finally snapped.
He kicked over his chair and let out a string of curses.

He had first met Sophia at an awards ceremony.
At the time, she had some buzz but hadn't won anything.
After the ceremony, he saw her backstage, quietly giving herself a pep talk.
She had a fire in her, the same fire he'd seen in Emily when she was twenty.

That was why he had pursued her.
He thought she was like the twenty-year-old Emily: bright, hardworking, and never one to give up.
But it was all a lie. It was all an act she had put on.
Sophia already had a sugar daddy, a rich older man.
She found him too old and had set her sights on Daniel instead.
Every one of their "chance" encounters had been carefully orchestrated by her.
The attack on Emily in the parking garage was also her doing.
She had stirred up her fan groups, encouraging them to stake out the location and "teach Emily a lesson."
Veins throbbed in Daniel's temples, his eyes glinting with a cold, hard light.
He handed the file to his Beta.
"Leak all of this. And terminate her contract immediately."
Within minutes, the entire internet practically broke.
Sophia's scandals dominated the trending topics.

The web was flooded with vitriol directed at Sophia.
[OMG, she looks so innocent, but she had a sugar daddy the whole time.]
[And she stirred up her fans to do her dirty work? So if they get arrested, it's their fault and she's blameless. What a move. Her fans are so pathetic.]
[Someone should have said something sooner. Everyone knows Daniel and Emily are fated mates. When Sophia announced they were together, everyone was cheering for them. I thought their values were messed up even back then.]
[Yeah, even though Emily hasn't acted in years, her old movies are amazing. I really liked her. And now her sacred bond was destroyed by this manipulative bitch. Poor Emily.]
[Daniel is a scumbag too. He deserved to be cuckolded.]
Reporters swarmed the hospital, ignoring the fact that she had just had surgery.
They shoved their cameras in her face.
"Ms. Summers, is this information true? Did you really have a sugar daddy and frame Ms. Vance?"
"Ms. Summers, don't you feel any guilt for what you've done?"
...
Sophia was on the verge of a breakdown.
She grabbed anything she could reach and threw it at them, screaming for them to get out.
But the reporters were relentless, crowding her room.
It wasn't until the nurses called security that they were finally removed.
The nurses had also seen the news. Their looks were now filled with contempt.
In an instant, she had gone from a beloved star to a social pariah.
The shock was too much for Sophia to handle. Her mind snapped.
She clutched a pillow, muttering to herself that she was the Luna of the Black Moon Pack, a globally famous superstar.
The hospital, seeing her unstable mental state, had her transferred to a psychiatric facility.
Daniel no longer paid any attention to Sophia.
He ordered his Beta to use all available resources to find Emily.
He had to find her, admit he was wrong, and fix their relationship.
Soon, the Beta found out that Emily had bought a plane ticket to the UK.
But her exact location within the UK was a dead end.
Daniel flew into a rage.
The entire company walked on eggshells, terrified of being the target of his anger.
After he calmed down, he gave a grim order.
"Keep looking. Even if you have to tear the UK apart, find Emily."
