FakeNovelChapter 0675 The auction hall's large screen flickered, casting an unsettling light and filling the room with a sense of dread. The once-curious crowd now stared wide-eyed, frightened by Claudia's eerie smile and the sinister laughter echoing from the speakers. Nicholas spread his coat wide and wrappedtightly in his arms. I could hear him repeating softly, "It's okay. Everything will be fine..." But my entire body trembled uncontrollably in his embrace. Fine? How could anything be fine? "Nicholas, why did you chere?" I mumbled the question to myself.
If he hadn't come, there would've been no one to shield me. I might have had to face everything alone, forcing myself to be strong.
I might have been compelled to confront the "so-called disgrace" head-on, instead of having my most unspeakable vulnerabilities laid bare before him.

My face looked pale and hollow in his gaze, and for a moment, I felt lost. As long as he was here, all I wanted was to rely on him.
So much for not wanting to involve him or thinking I could handle things on my own. The moment I saw him, all those resolutions were swept aside.
I shook my head, closed my eyes tightly, and stumbled backward.
"Ari, it's okay. I'll never let anything happen to you!" Nicholas's voice was filled with anguish. He couldn't bear to watchendure so much pain. He blamed himself for noticing too late, for failing to protect me, for makingfeel so insecure.
Realizing something, I abruptly pulled out my phone and pointed it at the screen. "Nicholas, you've already seen the photos. Looking at them again doesn't matter. This time, even if Claudia had nine lives, I'm sending her to prison!" Nicholas froze briefly before lifting his hand to block my camera lens.
"Ari, there won't be any-" Before he could finish, the screen suddenly jumped, and images began pouring out one after another. But... "Why aren't these my photos?" I wasn't the only one confused.
Gasps erupted throughout the room. "Why are all these photos of Mr. Fisher?" Photo after photo appeared-Nelson with different women, many of whom looked incredibly young. The stream of images continued until photos of Nelson entangled with Claudia also surfaced.

The screen wasn't just showing images-it included text descriptions detailing the horrifying experiences of minors at The Secret as well.
The narratives exposed how underage boys and girls were coerced into submission. If they resisted, they were beaten or drugged. There was no escape, no turning back.
To these people, humans were nothing but tools to satisfy desires, each with a clear price tag.
The screen flickered again, now playing a video. In the footage, Nelson grabbed a young girl's hair and smashed her head against the corner of a table repeatedly.
