Chapter 233
Stephen’s flashlight was as bright as the sun, stopping right beside Ethan’s face, blurring his features. Hence, people could only make out his figure.
“He looks a little familiar, but I can’t recall where I’ve seen him before.”
Many people commented, “Yeah, he looks familiar.”
“Where exactly have we seen him before?”
“Search the internet! Find any young man that looks similar to this person in the photo!”
The internet started searching for the identity of the Grand Marshal’s mysterious mentee. When Stephen saw it, his back was drenched in sweat. In a panic, he dialed Simon’s
number.
“Dad, someone has posted a recording online, and everyone is looking for Ethan now.”
Simon also saw the video online. He immediately ordered the video to be deleted and banned it from being posted online.
“They might be searching, but they can’t possibly find Ethan that quickly.” Simon
comforted Stephen while also assuring himself. “The people will start with the young and promising individuals, not a criminal like Ethan.”
Stephen thought about it and found it made sense.
“Then what should we do next?” he asked.
Simon fell silent at Stephen’s question. He had not figured out a solution yet.
Just then, there was suddenly a flood of posts online.
“No need to look any further. Ethan Rivers is the Grand Marshal’s mentee.”
“We have the photos here.”
High–resolution photos were posted below the post. Once the posts and photos went viral, everyone was stunned.
“Ethan is the mysterious mentee?”
“Huh? Isn’t he a fake?”
“These photos are high–definition. If you compare it to the screenshot from the recording, they look almost the same!”
“Is Ethan really the Grand Marshal’s mentee?”
The people did not know what to believe. If it was true, did that not mean all the insults

they threw at Ethan were also insults against the Grand Marshal and everyone who contributed to Riveria?
Their minds went blank.

A few other calm ones asked, “If Ethan really is the Grand Marshal’s mentee, why is he imprisoned?”
“Obviously, someone is jealous of his achievements and wants to take it for themselves.”
The people wanted to read more about it, but the next second, the post was deleted.
It was Simon who noticed those posts and had them deleted. When he checked who posted it, the posts were made from overseas.
“It must be Shawn, Howard, and the others! They’re stirring up trouble, even trying to expose the truth.”
No one could know the truth; that matter had to be under wraps! However, as more posts were deleted, people started to get suspicious.
“Why are the posts gone? And we can’t find the recording anymore?”
“Stephen, come out right now! Did you delete them because you’re in the wrong?”
“Did you guys steal Ethan’s achievements and even imprison him?”
Reading those comments made Stephen feel like he was about to pass out. The people had figured out the truth!
How should he respond?
Meanwhile, the federal government also went to Simon. “Simon, what’s going on?”
“Is Ethan the Grand Marshal’s mentee or not?”
Simon knew the federal government would eventually catch wind of it but not so soon. He had not come up with a solution yet.
With no other choice, he bit the bullet and denied it. “No. How could Ethan be the Grand Marshal’s mentee?”
Someone brought up the photos and screenshot. “In that case, how do you explain the photos online?”
Simon looked at the photos, and cold sweat quickly formed on his forehead. How was he supposed to explain it?
His mind raced, buzzing with thoughts. He cursed Ethan, Shawn, and Howard, who were all responsible for the mess.
