Chapter 162
I learned that trick from reading novels online. The domineering male leads
always use this method to confess their feelings to the female leads. The
whole city will learn of their love story, causing the female lead to be
inadvertently labeled as the male lead’s woman. Slowly but surely, the
female lead will not escape the clutches of the male lead, so what went
wrong?
Despite having spent more than a million, he still failed to boost news of his
romantic confession to Mackenzie into Yeringham’s headlines. Instead, it was
continuously subdued by news related to relatives accusing each other of
being ungrateful.
“Even if you spend ten million, it isn’t going to make a difference. All you’ll end
up being is a sideshow,” Gautier stated the truth, showing no intention of
being carried away by his emotions, unlike his brother.
“Why?”
Hubert was clueless to his brother’s reasons.
“You fool! Don’t you realize the top trending topics are filled with news and
articles attacking Emmanuel? Do you even know how they ended up there?
The money you spent has ended up shaping public opinion for someone
else!”
While Gautier was giving his brother a dressing down, the latter walked over
to take a look.
Only then did he see the headlines filled with news of Emmanuel’s relatives
accusing him of being an ingrate for forgetting about them.
Even the discussion about how the headline had pushed down Hubert’s
confession to Mackenzie had shot up into the top ten trending topics.
“F*ck! Are they idiots? This headline is clearly a result of all the money I spent
on boosting traffic to my article. How can they twist the facts now?” Hubert
fumed.
Unable to help himself, Gautier slapped his brother on the backside and
roared, “Don’t you understand yet, you imbecile? Your confession to
Mackenzie isn’t controversial at all. Instead, only news that is morally
contentious can spark a huge debate online. No matter how much money
you throw at the problem, you’ll only play second fiddle to such news.”
When Hubert finally understood, he exclaimed in frustration, “In that case,
what should I do, Gautier?”
“I can’t believe how dumb you can be!”
Gautier continued in a frosty tone, “Don’t you want the entire city to know
about your romantic confession to Mackenzie? Since these trending topics
can help increase traffic to your article, you should spend money to boost
them instead. On top of that, I’m very sure that Mackenzie and Emmanuel
enjoy a close relationship!”
Only then did Hubert realize what was going on.
That’s right! Even though my article didn’t become one of the top trending
topics, I can use the existing trending topics to destroy Emmanuel’s
reputation in Yeringham. By then, he would be too ashamed to continue
staying in the city, and I would be able to have my revenge!
“That’s why you don’t have to spend two million. Just boost the top trending
topic with three hundred thousand, and it will automatically improve the
traffic for your article.”
Gautier proceeded to give his brother three hundred thousand before
dismissing him.
Thereafter, an insidious smile gradually emerged on his face.
After he was beaten up by Emmanuel, Gautier did a background check on
