Natalie turned off the TV and sighed.
She wasn’t expecting the public opinion shift completely in just a matter of hours.She took out her phone and began reading news about Emani on the Internet.
All the brands that she had previously endorsed announced the termination of her contract, and the comment section for each article was bombarded with hate speech against Emani.
Even on various social media platforms, this was the hottest issue, and the netizens didn’t hold back with their criticisms.
Emani had done many other despicable things in the past, so people didn’t really find it hard to believe that she had also framed Natalie this time.
Gradually, they began expressing their regrets in public, and some even apologized to Natalie for wrongfully pinning the blame on her.
As Natalie scrolled through the social media sites, she realized that Emani’s account had been officially deleted and could no longer be found.
She seemed to have been banned from the Intemet altogether.
Just then, Natalie received a message from Gerda.
“I heard that Emani’s Twitter account has been deleted.Serves her right! Finally, the whole thing has been brought to light! I am so pleased with how things tumed out.”
The text ended with a couple of cute smiling emojis.
Natalie pursed her lips and smiled as well.
For some reason, the sight of the comments and her friend’s text brought her comfort.She felt her anger slowly ebb away.
At last, this matter could be laid to rest.
“Looks like the trouble Emani caused is finally cleared up.”
Sebastian stood at the door, a gray, woolen scarf wrapped around his neck.He was carrying a large grocery bag in one of his hands.
Natalie turned to him with a wide grin on her face.
“Someone posted the footage of us by the lake that day on the Internet. It proved that Emani fell into the water by herself.Now, everybody is apologizing to me. This feels so good.”
Sebastian chuckled under his breath.
His pretty little wife was so simple and naive.
If it were his former self, he would have looked down on her with disdain.
But now, he could only feel sorry for the likes of Natalie, who often got bullied by the rich and the powerful.
He made up his mind to protect her for the rest of their lives, no matter the cost.
Sebastian strode across the living room and went straight to the kitchen.
“I’ll make some good dishes to celebrate,” he said as he passed by.
Natalie hurriedly put on her slippers and followed after him.
“Great!” she said happily.
“I want to eat some braised pork, please.”
They bickered in the kitchen for a while.
All of a sudden, Natalie turned pensive.
“Don’t you think I’ve been too lucky lately, Sebastian? Emani has gotten away with her evil deeds all this time. Why was she exposed now, after so many years? Isn’t it too much of a coincidence?”
Sebastian’s hand froze While in the jewelry store Insi time, he had noticed that something was going on between Emani and Natalie.
The first thing he did was to tell his people not to renew Emani’s contract once it expired And when than heard that she had signed a contract with Klein Silk Fabric, he kept an eye on her.
After all, Klein Silk Tabric belonged to the Klein family On the same day the scandal was exposed and Natalie was being accused of by the public, Sebastian immediately asked the public relations department of the Larson Group to deal with it.
Fortunately, there was a lot of dirt on Emani before Not long after Emani’s career took off, her company bought off all the paparazzi who had dirt on her to keep their mouths shut, in order to maintain her good image His last resort in exposing Emani’s dirty past was making his men do a secret investigation.
Then his next step was to approach Kirby, a renowned reporter in the entertainment industry.
Over the years, he had reported a lot of exclusive news that were all proven to be real.
Hence, his name became famous.
Sebastian knew Kirby was the right person to expose Emani’s secrets.
So he asked this reporter to write a long article using the information he had given him.
At first, Kirby hesitated.
It was because he knew too well that the information Sebastian had asked him to revealed could completely end Emani’s career.
Unlike him, Sebastian was merciless.
If it was only a simple argument, he wouldn’t have come to this point.
But Emani deliberately framed Natalie and used her fans to bully the latter online.
How could Sebastian tolerate it? On second thought, he knew that exposing Emani’s true colors was not enough to salve the problem.
It would be better if they found evidence that could prove Natalie’s innocence.
Everyone should know that she didn’t really push Emani into the water.
So on that night, Sebastian ordered his men to search for all the tourists that were there at that time.
Fortunately for Natalie, someone among thousands of tourists had taken a video of Natalie and Emani.
Sebastian snapped out of his trance and turned around to look at Natalie.
His eyes were calm, coupled with his deep and perfect features, creating a powerful visual impact.
“Aren’t there people analyzing this matter online? Such dirt on Emani had been dug out and been exposed before, but her PR
teams had paid to suppress them.Considering her ill personality, Emani must have offended many celebrities and reporters. Taking advantage of this opportunity to drag her name through the mud will give a fatal blow to Emani.This is a win-win situation for both the reporters and her rivals.”
In a daze, Natalie quietly listened to Sebastian’s analysis.
The more she learned about Sebastian, the more she realized that he was different from the rest of the people she knew.
His temperament, behaviors, and thoughts were all very unique.
At that moment, Natalie felt that he was a wise person in disguise all along.
As she got closer and closer to the real Sebastian, Natalie felt a little jittery for some reason.
“Well, your analysis makes sense.”
Pretending to be calm, Natalie smiled at Sebastian before walking back to the sofa in front of the TV.Her eyes were glued to the screen.
A lot of things happened in Seacisco during that winter.
Emani, a popular celebrity, had been the center of criticism.She basically lost everything, including her fans.
New faces soon occupied the big screen of the central square of Seacisco.
Emani was just another pretty face.
People would soon completely forget about her now that she was gone.
Two weeks after the incident, Natalie went back to work.
Nothing much had changed the employees of Larson Group still talked a lot about her.
But this time, they weren’t badmouthing her.
They were all sympathizing with her alter she had been framed by Emani.
Either way, Natalie didn’t really care.
All she cared about now was her and Sebastian’s family.
Everything else didn’t matter. The hours passed like the cold piercing wind outside.
When Natalie got off work, it was still snowing heavily. Putting on her gloves and scarf, she walked out of the building, and headlight of.a luxury car.
Natalie heard the door closed, and when she looked up, she saw a man walking in the foggy snow. It was Kent.He looked fairer with his black coat in the snow.His nose was a little red because of the cold.
With just this handsome face, anyone who didn’t know him much would think he was a good man.
“It’s a cold day.How would you like to have a cup of coffee with me, Miss Quinn?”
Kent stepped on the snow to get to Natalie, but then he kept his distance and kept his voice calm and respectful.
Natalie could not refuse because he had helped her again just recently, so she pointed to somewhere in the distance and said,
“There is a coffeehouse right around the corner.This will be my treat for all the help you rendered the last time.”
Kent was rather amused, so he asked, “Do you have to keep things so formal all the time? I wasn’t expecting repayment”
Natalie simply stared at him and shrugged her shoulders.She said, “In that case, there’s no need to go and get coffee with you.Can I go home now?”
