Chapter 416 Brazenly
Abigail agreed with Luna. She felt powerless and angry. Suddenly, the office’s phone rang. It was someone from Fairy Meadow, so Luna picked it up right away. “Yes?” she asked coldly.
Abigail huddled closer.
“Miss Smith, it’s me. It’s about that case on the internet. Do you want to deal with it so we can post it on Twitter?” Howard asked.
Luna was surprised. “Fairy Meadow isn’t complaining because of the scandal?”
“We’re partners now. There’s no need to talk about that, and who even knows if it’s the truth. We just do what we need to do and make a statement about the scandal. There’s a launch event tonight,” Howard said nonchalantly.
That scandal broke out the moment they struck a partnership. Howard knew that L.Moon’s enemies were behind this.
“You don’t believe it?” Luna was surprised.
Howard chuckled lightly. “You did say someone was trying to attack L.Moon. The fact they did this right before our partnership could officially begin means it’s part of their tactic.”
“I see. I’ll make the statement. The event will go on as usual tonight.” Luna then hung up, feeling a
lot better.
Abigail heaved a sigh of relief as well, but before Luna even did anything, the videos online were quickly dealt with. L.Moon made a statement declaring that the video was made by Al and that they would investigate the matter. The statement sounded too formal as if the company didn’t care about the issue. If they had panicked, people would think the scandal was true.
Not long after the statement was posted, much to Abigail’s surprise, the government’s official Twitter account released a video talking about how business owners would use AI to create videos to attack their competitors. She reposted the video right away and saw her fans’ replies.
‘Miss Smith might not be too prominent, but L.Moon got this far thanks to her as well. I can’t believe someone would make this kind of video just to attack L. Moon. Just because she’s a woman, they think slut shaming will take her down, huh?
The competitor is awful. I can’t believe the government’s not looking into this. If every successful businesswoman has to face this kind of video, no woman will start a business. Come on, find out who the culprit is. I’m shaking here.’
Disgusting. I’ve been following L. Moon, but I’m not a fan. Even I think this is disgusting. I feel angry on Miss Smith’s behalf. What kind of trash company would do this?”
1/3
Everyone was condemning the culprit online, and Abigail was moved. Even though the scandal did affect them a little, there were still many people who were on Luna’s side.
The joint press release was an event important to Fairy Meadow and L.Moon. Howard was the one who got the venue, and L.Moon just had to play along. At night, Abigail and Luna reached the venue, but the moment they got out of the car, the reporters surrounded them. Abigail quickly stood in front of her friend.
The reporters trained their cameras on Luna. One of the reporters quickly asked, “Miss Smith, is it true that the video is Al-edited? The person in the video looks just like-”
