if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong.
for the last few hours, my phone has been ringing. my aunt has been calling me non-stop. a hoard of reporters is waiting at my door since last night.
i tap on the link that my aunt has sent me. it is a video. in the screen, i see the same reporter who visited me yesterday.
he smiles at the screen and starts: kamiyama shintaro, the revolutionary business tycoon, is known for his humanitarian works and his significant contributions to the society. kamiyama hitomi was a graceful and dignified woman in society. she is also known for her social work. but, is this the truth? around eighteen years ago, kamiyama shintaro seduced his married secretary and impregnated her. kamiyama hitomi's first husband divorced her and left the country with his second wife. shortly after the divorce, kamiyama shintaro married kamiyama hitomi. she gave birth to his son who is currently in high school. however, her child from her first marriage never got off the trauma given by her mother and kamiyama shintaro. she is living as a hikikomori at her grandparents' house with no job or a will to live. will kamiyama family take responsibility for kamiyama shintaro's sins? will they let her continue to live such a life? kamiyama family is keeping their mouths shut regarding this matter.
the video shows my blurred figure yelling like a gorilla, "kamiyama hitomi and kamiyama shintaro are human wastes."
this video is spreading like wildfire. what's more? social media is going crazy over this. my name is also leaked. my high school picture is uploaded by an unknown account. some people are abusing the kamiyama family. some are badmouthing my mother.
what the hell? do i have to hack these accounts and teach them a lesson?
i let out a laugh. i crack my knuckles and start doing the work. i will teach all of them a lesson for messing with me.

on the other side, kamiyama family is sitting in the living room with dark expressions. an old secret is out. takeuchi rie's words have made it worse. kamiyama's shares have gone down significantly ever since the news came out.
takeshi has a deep frown on his face. his day didn't do any good. he fought with some boys. they have been badmouthing his mother and father. the whole country is pointing fingers at them. he can't believe that his parents were that kind of people.
kiyohira has a different reaction from his brother. this woman! she is the troublemaker. she is seeking their attention to getting money just like her gold digger mother. only a vicious woman can give birth to another vicious woman.
grandmother kamiyama takes a deep breath. her son only made one mistake in his life. it was that he loved a woman like hitomi. in reality, they had met in college and wanted to get married. but, grandmother kamiyama and her husband didn't agree with their relationship. hitomi disappeared and married someone else. her son also married a woman from a good family. shintaro's first wife died during childbirth.
when hitomi reappeared in his life, he gave her a job to keep her close. at first, he didn't know that she was married. when he found out, she was already pregnant with his child. her son was a fool. he was angry for a while, but he forgave her in the end. hitomi divorced her first husband and married him. he wanted to bring her first daughter to his family, but she refused.
"i will handle this." kiyou stares at takeuchi rie's blurred figure in the video.
"what will you do?" grandmother kamiyama asks weakly.
"kamiyama family will take responsibility for this human waste."
he uses the same word that rie used for his father.
"how?" takeshi is rather worried about his half-sister. his elder brother's anger is no good.
"i will give her what she wants."
