Chapter 28
What kind of pain did she have to experience for her to talk about such things so nonchalantly?
“I won’t let anyone hurt you in the future,” he said as if he was swearing-
She ruffled the hair on his head and said, “Stop talking like that. Hurry up and eat your food.” As she spoke, she lowered her head and continued eating her food.
There was a glimmer in his eyes, seemingly in deep thoughts.
Things got blown out of proportion, but Yvette didn’t expect her company to fail at suppressing the trending topic.
Now, news about her losing her ring and needing sanitary workers to help her find it was spread all over the internet.
The photos that were posted were especially damning. She was dressed brightly and stood next to the garbage pile while a few sanitary workers were bending over, helping her find her ring in the pile.
The stark contrast in the image garnered the dissatisfaction of many people. They accused her of lacking morals.
Someone even commented, “She lost her ring, but she made the sanitary workers look for it instead. Those sanitary workers. must be tired after cleaning the road for the whole day. Why couldn’t she look for it in the garbage piles herself? Does being a celebrity make her superior to others? What right does she have to use the city’s resources like that? It’s not like she’s paying the sanitary workers! Why must all of them help her find a ring?”
Even though Yvette’s fans tried to defend their idol, they couldn’t suppress the negative comments. It was made worse because there were quite a lot of people at the scene at that time. Many of them recorded videos and posted them online.
“Why can’t I get rid of the trending topic? Seeing more and more negative comments on the Internet, Yvette couldn’t sit still anymore.
It can’t be helped. Those verified accounts won’t remove the relevant content. The manager paused and said hesitantly. Yvette, did you offend someone?”
“Who could I have offended?” They were in Strico, and she was backed by the Hamilton family. Furthermore, she was now the daughter-in-law of the Xanthos family, so it should be others who were afraid to offend her instead, except…
Yvette’s body stiffened. Could it be Jonathan?
Few people had that much influence in Strico to cause those verified accounts and the media to refuse to withdraw their trending topics at the risk of offending the Xanthos family and the Hamilton family. Jonathan was one such person.
Was Jonathan really angry with the Xanthos family because of her sister’s death? But in recent years, Youngblood Group had not been hostile to the Xanthos family. It had been running business deals with the Hamilton family as usual. In fact, Jonathan had even accepted the engagement party invitation between the Hamilton and Xanthos families a while ago.
However, Yvette was not so sure anymore as she recalled the incident with the withdrawal of the projection advertising.
Just one day later, the police released their investigation result. Combined with a series of surveillance camera records, it was confirmed that Yvette didn’t actually lose the ring on that day.
When Yvette went out, the surveillance camera along the way showed that she was only wearing a ring on her pinky. There were no other rings except for that. When Yvette asked the sanitary worker to look for a ring on the grounds that it had fallen off, that same ring was still on Yvette’s pinky.
Suddenly, Yvette’s reputation on the internet was completely ruined. Those fans who had defended her were unable to help her recover from this situation.
They couldn’t have done anything else since the police had already issued a detailed investigation report.
Many fans even declared online that they were going to unfollow Yvette and even wanted to be a hater instead.
Meanwhile, some of Yvette’s loyal fans claimed that it was unbelievable and was suspecting that something had gone wrong with the investigation.
Yvette was also dumbfounded by the outcome. To think that the police actually issued an investigation report, and she only learned about it at the same time as other netizens.
Yvette was trembling all over. How could something like this happen to her?
Was the image and career that she hail worked so hard to build up over the years going to be destroyed because of this? Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
But there were worse things awaiting her. Carlos, Jonathan’s personal assistant in Youngblood Group, directly called the Hamilton family and the Xanthos family to inform them that Jonathan would not be attending the engagement party of the two families.
This naturally reminded people of the current scandal revolving around Yvette.
Rosalie was surprised after seeing the police investigation report. She didn’t expect it to come out so fast. Moreover, the Hamilton family and the Xanthos family didn’t manage to suppress the news. Instead, they seemed to be getting more and more out of hand.
“Yvette is too horrible. She made so many of our staff find her ring for her that day, but it turns out that she didn’t lose it at all!” Everyone in the Ministry of the Environment and Sanitation Administration was also talking about this matter.
“It’s no wonder so many people are rebuking her online”
“She’s quite a strange one. Why would a celebrity like her claim to have lost her ring and made us look for it?’ someone
asked out of confusion.
“She just had nothing better to do.”
Yulissa tugged at Rosalie and asked, “Rosalie, I saw Yvette talk with you for a long time that day. Do you know her?”
Queenie, who was passing by, heard this and mocked, “Yulissa, are you kidding? It’s possible that Rosalie knows who Yvette is, but it’s impossible that Yvette knows Rosalie! Yvette is a prominent young lady, after all
“But I saw Yvette talking to Rosalie that day”
Queenie said as if she had caught the culprit. ‘Is it because Rosalie offended Yvette that she deliberately claimed to have lost her ring? Wow, Rosalie, so you’re the one who made everyone plow through piles of garbage.”
Because Lucas loved Rosalie, so Queenie had always targeted her. Even Yulissa was surprised that Queenie would blame this incident on Rosalie.
Rosalie glanced at Queenie and said, “Wow. Rather than blaming the deceiver, it seems you’re blaming the deceiver’s victim as the cause of the deception instead. Your sense of morality is indeed quite something”
Queenie’s face suddenly turned red. She could not retort to Rosalie’s statement, so she glared at Rosalie and walked away hatefully.
In the Youngblood residence, Yvette and Howard stood nervously in the hall waiting for Jonathan.
“Why did you get into this kind of trouble? Rosalie is just a sanitary worker now, and she’s no match for you anymore. Why must you pick a fight with her?” Howard lectured his daughter.
“It’s her fault that Melanie died! If it weren’t for her, Jonathan wouldn’t have been angry with the Xanthos family. Even the projection advertising that Zachary had made was all withdrawn!” Yvette huffed angrily.
Howard’s face was a mix of complicated expressions. His lips moved slightly but ended up saying nothing.
