[Look, sheâs pissed again!]
[Is she the real Ellinor?]
Lucky Belin: [Bullshit!!!]
After reading the comment section for a while, Ellinor knew that the keen netizen called âLuckyBelinâ
was Belinda.
She left the live stream and replied to Belinda, âYou should hit the sack early, no need to argue with them.â
Belinda quickly sent back a message. âBut itâs getting my goat! Theyâre bashing you without knowing jack!â
Ellinor replied, âIf youâre on the up and up, you donât need to worry about misconceptions. Be a good girl, donât bother with them.â
Belinda sent back a âcrazyâ gif.
Ellinor didnât reply but opened a group chat below Belindaâs.
Chase: [Whatâs the scoop? Why are people suddenly badmouthing you?]
Ida Gipson: [Itâs a noâbrainer that Ellinor was a straightâA student. Who in our village didnât know Ellinor was a brainiac?]
Chase [Exactly! Those folks are talking through their hats! They even said Ellinor stole that girlâs grades, thatâs why she got accepted to Creston University. In fact, it was the Dean of Creston University who personally invited Ellinor!]
Ellinor replied [When rumors fly, the truth often gets lost in the shuffle.]
Chase. [Who the heck are that wailing mother and daughter in the live stream? Blanchet Corporationâs shares are still plummeting badly. This whole thing is a bigger deal than I thought!]
Ellinor replied: [She is my high school classmate and thatâs her mom. They couldnât have caused such a ruckus on their own. Someone must be stirring the pot for them now.]
Chase. [So, what should we do now? With your tech skills, shutting down this forum should be a piece of cake!]
Ellinor pondered and replied: [Letâs see how things play out first, play it by ear. Chase, have you been keeping tabs on the Mendoza family recently?]
Chase: [The Mendoza family? Ever since you cut ties with them, Iâve stopped paying attention. Wait, does this have something to do with the Mendoza family?ã
Ellinor [Please have someone keep a close eye on the Mendoza familyâs activities, see who theyâve been hanging out with. Let me know as soon as possible if anything comes up.]
Chase [Got it!]
Ida: [Ellinor, are you okay? Has Mr. Blanchet taken it out on you?]
Due to this incident, the Blanchet Corporationâs stock has experienced an unprecedented decline.
Ellinor, as the main character, could be held accountable.
Ellinor: [Donât worry, Iâm fine. Heâs not the type to fly off the handle]
Ida: (Thatâs a relief. If the Blanchet family treats you badly, come home right away!]
Ellinor replied [Okay.]
Ida and Chase were not only her subordinates but also her family who grew up with her and experienced countless trials and tribulations.
She left the group chat. Below was an unread message from Bartlett.
Every time she thought of Bartlettâs excessively handsome face, she didnât feel like opening his messages. But she did anyway.
ãEllinor, are you doing okay? Has the Blanchet family mistreated you? If you need any help, just say the wordâ]
This time, Bartlett didnât say anything weird like he usually did.
However, even though Ellinor didnât plan to reply, Theo, who just got out of the shower, saw Bartlettâs message.
