Chapter 64
However, Mason’s calling her “Ms. Colton’ made her a bit uneasy She hadn’t thought that she would meet him for a third time when had chosen that name She said somewhat awkwardly. “Yes, it’s quite a coincidence Mason pointed to her neck with a warm smile,”
Has your wound healed? Celeste was taken aback for a moment, then remembered he was asking about the wound she had gotten from the pregnant woman at the police station
She was somewhat surprised by his memory and care “It’s healed Thank you very much for that day*
“It was nothing.” Mason paused, “Are you alone?”
“I’m meeting someone, but they haven’t arrived yet,” she whispered, “They have no sense of time”
Mason paused, then tentatively asked, “The person you’re meeting, is it a lawyer?” Celeste was stunned, “How do you know?“
Then she realized, “You’re the lawyer!”
Mason smiled, “Yes, I’m the lawyer with no sense of time.”
Celeste was extremely embarrassed, “I didn’t mean that… I thought you hadn’t arrived yet, no… I didn’t expect you to be my lawyer, you don’t look like one at all!”
Mason pulled out a chair and sat down opposite her, asked, “What does a lawyer look like to you? Celeste, somewhat defensive, pointed at his coat, “At least you should be wearing a suit.”
Mason smiled, “Ill take note next time.”
Celeste waved her hand, “It’s just a stereotype, there’s no rule stating what a lawyer should wear, don’t mind me.”
“It’s just a joke, you don’t have to be so nervous, Mason was gentle, ‘Let’s discuss the case first.”
Celeste sighed with relief and nodded repeatedly.
The two exchanged WhatsApp contacts, and Celeste sent the screenshots she had collected earlier to Mason. Mason frowned as he finished looking through the distasteful screenshots, then logged into Twitter on his tablet to filter keywords. Celeste had only screenshot the accounts that had privately insulted her, but in reality, there were many more accounts dedicated to ittacking her after filtering by keywords. Mason categorized accounts that posted similar content, those from the same region and ising the same model of phone to tweet could basically be identified as the same person. Then he used his work account to contact hese Twitter users, first trying to negotiate with them to delete the offensive posts and publicly apologize to “Celestial Haze. Celeste watched from the side, fully convinced of Mason’s identity as a lawyer because the wording he used in his communications was very rofessional and careful. However, these negotiations obviously had no deterrent effect on those people. Some didn’t even bother to eply, others began to curse and acted arrogantly, spouting abusive words, even blocking Mason’s account. Mason calmly saved creenshots and asked, “What kind of punishment would you like these people to receive?”
eleste was taken aback, “Isn’t this a civil case? If we win, at most they will have to delete these offensive messages and publicly pologize, right?”
lason smiled and said, “Cyberbullying is indeed a civil case, and the most severe punishment is compensation, but if you want them › receive a heavier punishment, we can sue them for libel, which is a criminal case and will leave a criminal record. This record will not nly hinder their own work but could even affect their children’s political review.” Can it really be done like that? “Which has a higher hance of winning, defamation or a case about the right to personal reputation?”
