Chapter 411
Within just half an hour, topics such as "Sophia is A Bastard" and "The Vinci Rivera Group'sRecruitment Talk at Trinity University Failed Miserably" made it into the trending list.
Sophia had set a perfect image beforehand. Those hashtags, including "# orphan", "#inspiring", and"#rising against all odds", which had meant to be her labels, became sharp weapons against her afterher image collapsed. Since she was in high school, she had used her "orphan" status to gain attentionfrom the public and become a well-known "inspirational internet celebrity".
Almost all of her fans followed her due to her "miserable" childhood and "never give up" attitude towardlife.
Therefore, when her image collapsed, her former supporters turned on her instantly. Every time hersocial media page was refreshed, she would lose hundreds or even thousands of subscribers. In justten minutes, she could lose tens of thousands of fans.
Sophia had often said on her social media that, [I've been through the stormy rains, so I want to holdan umbrella for others].
Whenever there was a disaster or mishap, she would immediately call on her fans to donate and evenopened a reward function on her social media posts. She claimed that all the rewards would bedonated to charitable organizations.
However, now, some netizens discovered that the donation receipt numbers Sophia had provided werenot found in the respective charitable organizations. This aroused suspicions of fraud. As soon as thenews came out, the public immediately condemned Sophia. Fraud was a despicable act, especiallywhen it was done by exploiting the sympathy of netizens to raise donations.
The netizens stated, [What Sophia has been doing is certainly not "holding an umbrella for others’ aftershe had been through "the stormy rain". On the contrary, she is inflicting more pain on others despitebeing through the adversity herself]
Meanwhile, Albert's side was also in chaos. As soon as Sophia's identity as his illegitimate daughterwas exposed, the media swarmed in like flies that smelled rotting flesh. They instantly surroundedAlbert's company.
Albert was trapped in the company and could not leave.
While anxiously holding her phone, Hylda paced back and forth in the company's office. "Why isn'tSophia answering her phone?
I wonder how she's doing right now," she muttered, and her worry was palpable. The news of Sophia'snosebleed from being hit by a shoe had left Hylda almost going nuts with concern, and she was unableto sit still.
Albert's phone was already turned off. Whenever he turned it on, countless people he knew from themedia would call him to ask about his relationship with Sophia. Sweat beads formed on his forehead.He was obviously caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
He said through his gritted teeth, "Who the hell put up those information?"
"It must be Stella!" Hylda snapped, "I warned you about her before. She must have known something along time ago, which is why she's been going against you. Why didn't you believe me?! She's trying toruin Sophia by bringing this to the surface!"
Albert regretted not realizing the signs earlier. Stella's repeated use of the word "bastard child" duringtheir phone call that morning should have tipped him off that something was wrong. His anger hadclouded his judgment, causing him to overlook it.
He also did not expect Stella to make her move this quickly and ruthlessly. ‘She must have learned itfrom Rainee!' Albert cursed inwardly. He frowned and said, "How much information does she haveagainst us?"novelbin
Hylda's heart tightened. "Albert, do you think she might know—"
"No!" Albert interrupted her. He glanced in the direction of the door and said, "Stop talking nonsense.Let's figure out how to get out of here."
Keegan did not come back all night, and his phone was turned off. Stella could reach Aldor's phone,but he only answered twice.
