[Claire is fickle. She was originally Allen’s fiancée, but secretly had an affair with
Frank. When Allen found out, he followed her abroad, but Claire chose her old love. The two conspired to quietly kill Frank.]
In just a few days, this rumor spread like wildfire across the internet. It was obvious that someone was behind the scenes stirring up trouble. However, the public, unaware of the truth, began to mourn Frank’s death, and their sympathy quickly turned into anger towards Claire and Allen.
Frank, a recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, had been widely admired, and his death had already been widely publicized online. Now, his tragic fate only intensified the outcry, and both Allen and Claire’s relationship were quickly exposed.

In response to the rumors, Claire took immediate action to clear her name. She went live online to verify her side of the
story. She presented the official annulment
of her engagement to Allen, as well as the
Peace Prize medal Frank had given her.

“Before joining Médecins Sans Frontières, I
had already annulled my engagement with
Mr. Allen Brown. This Peace Prize medal was a gift from Dr. Frank during his lifetime.””
“I deeply apologize for taking up public resources, but I will not stand idly by while Dr. Adler’s legacy is tarnished by these lies. I will hunt down the person responsible for spreading these rumors.”
“I have already chosen to end things with Mr. Brown. We will never be together again in

this lifetime. I will follow Dr. Adler’s example and dedicate my life to Médecins Sans Frontières, helping those affected by war and disaster.”
Frank’s parents also testified on Claire’s behalf.
Meanwhile, Allen stared at Claire in the video. She had really changed. She was no longer the Claire who once revolved around him. She had become more captivating, more radiant–and he realized he no longer deserved someone like her.
As soon as Claire’s video was posted, public outrage spread, with everyone searching for the source of the rumors. Eventually, Allen tracked down the person responsible for the lies–Evelyn.
“I knew it was you. Who else would hate me

and Claire this much?” Allen said.
Evelyn, unwilling to accept defeat,screamed even as the police took her away.
“Haha, it’s all your fault, Allen! If it weren’t for you, Frank wouldn’t be dead, and Claire wouldn’t be suffering like this…” Evelyn shouted in shrill voice.
Allen stood frozen.
Later, Evelyn confessed to her involvement. It was she who had revealed the location of Médecins Sans Frontières to the rebel forces, leading to the missile strike that destroyed the camp building.
Once the truth came out, the public’s fury intensified. Evelyn was sentenced and imprisoned, never to be released.

“Claire!”
At the departure gate in the airport, Allen chased after Claire.
Claire turned around to look at him, her face devoid of expression. Since Frank’s death, she rarely smiled.
“Claire, have a safe journey.”
