The old man's attempt to manipulate public opinion online had backfired before, and they were well aware of it. However, backed into a corner, they felt they had no choice but to release the information, even if they suspected it might backfire again.
What they hadn't anticipated was the unwavering stance of the online community. More importantly, someone was fanning the flames from behind the scenes.
For days, the internet buzzed with gossip about the situation. Then, out of nowhere, news of Hyland Riley's death was made public. Along with it, photos of the family butler meeting with Martin Riley were also leaked online.
Hyland Riley, being a convicted murderer, didn't stir much sympathy with his death. Instead, the public was more intrigued by whether his passing would prompt Martin Riley to return to the Riley Family.
