Chapter 1586
Hannah asked, âWhatâs going on?â
Her agent sent her a link via WhatsApp, âIâve sent you through WhatsApp. Click on it and see for yourself.â
When Hannah opened WhatsApp, a bold headline immediately caught her attention: [Hannah Accused of Secretly Having a Tycoonâs Child â Body Out of Shape, Looks Distorted.] âWho the hell would dare insult me like that? Iâll give them a piece of my mind!â Hannahâs temper flared at the headline. No woman would stay calm when being insulted like that. Upon clicking the link, Hannah was greeted with a collection of photos featuring herself, casually dressed in the very same outfit that she was currently wearing. This meant the photos were taken today. But how in the world could she look so hideous?
Standing nearly 57â³ tall and weighing a mere 100 pounds, her figure was slender. It would be a challenge to find someone thinner than her in this mall. Yet, in these photos, she was made to look grotesque. âNelly, look at these photos. Do I look like this to you?â
Cornelia took her phone and exclaimed, âImpossible! Youâre not nearly as chubby as they make you look.âe2
She instinctively zoomed in on the photos and quickly found the problem, âThese photos arenât just bad angles. Theyâve been intentionally edited to make you look badâ
She pointed at the counter behind Hannah in the photo, âSee how itâs all warped? Itâs clearly Photoshopped.â
Her agent also mentioned over the phone, âEveryone knows the photos are photoshopped. But the real issue isnât the photos; itâs that the gossip column is claiming youâve secretly had a child for a tycoon. Youâve been recovering at home from an injury and havenât been seen in public for so long. Not only would the general public believe this gossip, but your fans could too.â Unexpectedly, the link she was browsing suddenly disappeared, Hannah tried to reopen it, but the page kept reading Link has been deleted.â
Soon after, she received a WhatsApp message from Steven, [Hannah, Iâve taken care of it. Those defamatory photos of you wonât be seen by anyone anymore.]
Hannah retorted, [My affairs are none of your business.]
Steven replied, [But Iâve already intervened. Do you want me to have those links restored?]
Hannah asked, [Can you do that?
Steven said, [Hannah, let me do something for you. You never let me help, and itâs making me feel insecure.]
Hannah questioned, [Can you or canât you?]
Steven assured, [Yes! Absolutely yes!]
Hannah asked, [How long will it take?]
Steven promised, [Immediately!]
In no time, the agentâs link was accessible again.
Hannah reopened some apps, and the previously suppressed hot trend instantly shot back to the top. The negative trends about Hannah were multiplying. Steven asked, [Hannah, are you really going to let these defamatory trends continue?]
Hannah didnât respond.
Steven added, [Hannah, Iâve managed to clear the crowd that was watching. Can I come upstairs to see you now? If you donât respond, Iâll take it as a yes.]
Hannah immediately replied, [No.]
Steven suggested, [Hannah, we could go back first. Now that youâre trending, people will soon figure out youâre here. It could be unsafe if too many people show up.] Hannah had the same thought. [Nelly and I are leaving now. You can do whatever you want.]
Steven sighed. What on earth had he done to deserve this?
