Chapter 468 The Extent of Luke’s Influence In A City
Charmaine picked out many clothes of the latest designs that still had their tags on, as well as trying onseveral pairs of shoes that caught her eye.
Leia's height, body size, and foot size were almost similar to Charmaine's. Charmaine was overjoyedthat those clothes and accessories seemed to be designed for her!
As she continued to pick out items, she asked, "What do you want me to do? Just let me know. I'llpromise to do my best!" "Bianca might have rejected Luke's proposal, but Luke had warned the medianot to spread any negative news about her. Of course, I'm not happy about that. Do this for me,Charmaine, go and buy up the topics and keywords from all the media websites, including Twitter,Yahoo, TMZ, Instagram, and so on. Utterly ruin Bianca's reputation. Make sure that she can't stay in ACity anymore! I'll foot the bill. You'll only have to go and talk to the people in charge, i "Oh, you shouldcontact those verified influencers with at least a million followers too. They might be personal accounts,but you shouldn't underestimate them.novelbin
"You can also consider contacting small-scale print media companies. The major companies would beafraid of Luke's retaliation, but those small ones wont. They're already on the verge of bankruptcyanyway, and they'd snap up any news that might make their papers sell."
Undeniable, Leia was intelligent.
As technology improved, the number of print media readers declined, and their credibility suffered.Many traditional print media companies had shifted their business model online.
Instead of reading newspapers, many people would follow media companies on social media orsubscribe to their feeds. That was how they received the latest information.
Charmaine was about to agree to it, but she shuddered when she suddenly thought of Luke's icy gazeat the engagement ceremony.
"Leia, you know that Luke is the dominant force in A City. He can even control the flow of news. I don'tthink anyone would take up the challenge... " Charmaine said carefully.
Leia interjected before Charmaine could finish her sentence. "What are you afraid of? How are yougoing to get anything done that way? I have your back. Don't forget that my dad is the ProvincialCommittee Secretary and he loves me a lot. With me supporting you, no one would lay a finger on you!You've always wanted to enter the entertainment industry, right? When all that is done, how about I'lltake you under my wing? I can pass on any extra roles to you."
After getting assurance from Leia, Charmaine fantasized about getting her big break in theentertainment industry and being idolized by thousands and even millions of fans. She noddeddeterminedly and said, "Alright, I'll listen to what you say, Leia."
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in Crawford Manor was tense.
The air was depressingly stifling.
Old Master Luke slammed his walking stick on the floor and cursed. "That wretch! Something serioushappened in the engagement ceremony, but that wretch left without saying a word and left this messfor me. This is outrageous! That kid has ruined the reputation of the Crawford family for good..." i
Louis was afraid that his grandfather was overly agitated. He gently patted his grandfather's chest andsaid, "Grandpa, Luke has always been meticulous, and he would not allow any mistakes to happen,much less during his engagement ceremony. There must be something fishy behind this. You don'thave to be angry now; just ask him for the reason when he gets back."
Old Master Rayne sighed. He once again apologized humbly, "I am deeply sorry, Old Master Crawford.I've watched Bianca grow up since she was a young girl, and she's always been considerate andsensible. She must be troubled with something. I've noticed that her complexion didn't look so good atthe ceremony. Perhaps she really does have a fever and a muddled mind."
Wanda also agreed with her father. "My niece has a good character. She's not the kind who wouldembarrass herself in a public situation. Luke had also explained that she had a fever. Please acceptour apologies."
Old Master Rayne and Wanda tried to convince the Crawford family members to forgive Bianca.
They believed that there must be another reason why Bianca would reject Luke's proposal.
Susan sat by the side, daintily sipping tea with an impassive expression, as though whatever happeneddid not concern her.
Allison was livid. She pointed her finger at Old Master Rayne and Wanda and cursed, "Pah! How dareyou mention that shameless woman's name? She has humiliated my son in the engagement ceremony.You're probably a bad role model for her! Let me make this clear. As long as I, Allison Tanner, remain inthe Crawford family, Bianca Rayne will not step foot in Crawford Manor!’
Old Master Rayne and Wanda's faces turned pale.
Old Master Rayne had always been down to earth. He had never been insulted like that before.
His lips trembled in anger, and he could not form a complete sentence." You... you..."
When Allison said that Old Master Rayne was a bad role model for Bianca, she had insulted him andthe rest of the Rayne family too.
He knew that Luke was a good boy, but Luke had a bad mother, not to mention her other identity!
He thought that Allison was perhaps bad-tempered and materialistic after marrying into the Crawfordfamily. All Bianca needed to do was to be careful and respect her. Moreover, Bianca had already bornetwo children for her...
Perhaps eventually Allison would accept Bianca as her daughter-in-law.
However, Old Master Rayne did not expect that Luke's mother was so unreasonable. Not only had sheinsulted his granddaughter, but she had involved Old Master Rayne and Wanda in it as well.
Allison turned out to be no different from a shrew back in the small town.
He would not be relieved that the gentle and docile Bianca would have such a mother-in-law.
Allison did not hold back when she saw that Old Master Rayne was angry. Instead, she grunted coldlyand continued her tirade. "What about me? I'll make it clear that I will not accept Bianca Rayne as mydaughter-in-law. That woman has already gotten herself pregnant even before the wedding. She musthave seduced my son to make out with her so that she wouldn't have to leave the Crawford family. Isn'tthat shameless?
"My son has already stooped to her level to marry her, but she doesn't show any gratitude. Does shehave a heart for humiliating Luke in public? Don't you teach her any manners, or is that how all youRaynes behave? I shouldn't have expected more from poor families!"
