Chapter 75
Sweet Subterfuge
Break out of this predicament?
She did think about it and did intend to do it. But before that-
âI donât want to drag the hotel or you into this.â
At Covenfordâs branch office of Microworks Corporation, Dylan was scrolling through his phone in the presidentâs office. He swiftly scanned through the article posted by a gossip Twitter account about that specific episode of âThe Mediators Roomâ.
âTsk, it holds the same opinion as the previous articles. They didnât even bother changing up the formula.â He fixed his glasses and glanced at a certain someone who was buried in documents. âThese social media accounts slandering Larissa are from the same company. Either the company is doing this on purpose to incite views, or someone has deliberately spent money to screw with Larissa.â
Kevan gave him a cold stare. âYou seem to care about her a lot.â
Dylan sneered right back. âNot as much as you care about Sharon.â
The frigid aura surrounding Kevan faded a great deal.
âI heard that a lot of netizens have complained about Larissa to the Regal Dynasty as well as to Soaring Corporation. So, what are you going to do? Will you help her settle things?â Dylan asked.
Kevan recalled a report that he had just received.
âNo, I wonât need to.â He smiled faintly, a hint of pride in his eyes. âShe can handle it. But-â His expression changed drastically, and a cold gleam appeared in his eyes. âThose social media accounts must be investigated. If there really is someone pulling the strings in the dark-â
Larissa spent a week preparing. During that time, more and more netizens slandered and insulted her online, as if this was how their âjusticeâ could be shown.
The main branch of the Regal Dynasty had given Mr. Compton a lot of pressure, but he held on as best as he could and only temporarily suspended Larissa for the time being.
Janine and Dick accepted several interviews from various news outlets, and they proceeded to play the victim while condemning Larissa.
âOur boyâs money has been taken by our daughter-in-law, and we canât even pay for his medical fees!â
âThe payment reminder from the hospital has already increased so much that thereâs a stack of them.
The nurse said that if we donât pay up, our sonâs medication and treatment will be stopped, and he will be kicked out of the hospital!â
âWe really donât know what else we can doâ¦â
Therefore, a huge wave of netizens started a donation campaign for them. Larissa even saw someone she knew forwarding the donation link on Instagram. She was not sure if that person was truly unaware that Travis was her ex-husband, or if they were doing it on purpose to make her feel bad.
She took the initiative to call the editors of âThe Mediators Roomâ, and they seemed to know that she would call and were waiting for this day.
