Chapter 101
Rita:‘I don’t care. You have one week.” She hung up.
Jiang Wenhui sat on the floor, feeling like she’d fallen into an ice cave. If Shaw Huishan found out about “that“, he might bring that mother and son into the family. No, absolutely not!
For the next two days, the internet raged. Initially, most people found my response compelling and credible. But slowly, dissenting voices emerged. Anonymous posters claiming to be the Shaw Corp employees called me a drama queen, saying the airport incident showed my true colors. Then, someone claiming to be a hotel employee claimed my video was fake, pointing out that the pillars in front of the hotel were under construction at that time; the video showed no such construction.
More and more such posts appeared. Influencers and prominent bloggers chimed in, analyzing details, making wild speculations. One blogger took a different approach, explaining AI technology, detailing how easy manipulate faces, video footage, audio, and chat logs. Suddenly, both sides‘ evidence was questionable. Even micro–expression experts and psychologists joined the fray, grabbing their share of the spotlight. Netizens couldn’t figure out who was telling the truth. The discussion reached fever pitch. Public opinion swung back and forth. Some supported me, pointing out that even if everything else was fabricated, the fact that I was his wife was undeniable. Also, the evidence suggested that Rita was not as innocent as she seemed, and she had a clear mistress vibe. Others supported Rita, arguing that a wealthy heiress would be more passionate and naive, possibly unaware of her role in the affair. She was willing to kneel, to be slapped–clearly deeply in love. Also, if Rita had harmed Jiang Wenhui, would Jiang Wenhui still defend her?
The spectacle continued for three days. Netizens eagerly awaited the next chapter. Yet, the key players remained silent.
Zach and Gary monitored the situation, secretly updating Evan. Evan remained calm, listening each time. In the morning, I woke up, stretching on the balcony overlooking the ocean. I hadn’t checked the comments; my phone was off and in my bag. I anticipated the outcome. The internet is a battlefield; if you understand the rules, so do your opponents. I drove all night and arrived at my grandmother’s house. After eating, I slept for a day. It was only this morning that I felt better. My grandmother’s house is in a fishing village. My parents were here for a few days. Dad was out fishing with my uncle, and Mom was helping Grandma dry fish. Grandma and Mom sighed when they saw me exercising on the second–floor terrace.“Our daughter is being bullied, and we can’t do anything,” Mom said, suddenly getting an idea, holding a fish.“Mom, maybe…we should go to Yancheng and tell the Luo family about YanYan. If we can’t protect her, they can.”
