But the article's author suggested that all this was Violette's orchestration, designed to swindle Elijah out of his fortune.
Violette made her fortune in the B country, which she considered her second home. Couldn't her connections and her wealth in B Country help her resolve the crisis when she was kidnapped in her own hometown? Did she really need Elijah to fly in on his private jet to her rescue?
And so, Elijah threw ten billion into the fray, only to return home heartbroken and alone. The author was convinced Elijah had been tricked by Violette. Duped not just out of love, but more critically, out of ten billion.
The article concluded that even a shrewd man like Elijah could be played for a fool by a woman. If one wanted to keep his wealth, he must stay away from women, especially a good looking 'powerful woman' like Violette. Because her wealth was basically obtained through men.
The article was circulated widely and soon became a sensation. Such explosive news, if true, would be quite a shocker.
—[I think there's some credibility to this news. A few days ago, Elijah did fly to B Country on his private jet. My friend who works at the capital airport told me.]
—[So it seems that Elijah is a hopeless romantic?! Ten billion, oh my god! Violette sure knows her game.]
—[Violette probably won't dare to return home, huh? How long would her company have to run to earn ten billion.]
—[Can Elijah call the cops in this situation? Can he recover this massive amount of money? [pondering] ]
...
After the article blew up, the online public opinion started to boil over even more. Many people went to the Dennis Group's official account page to accuse them.
Many netizens even went to Kylee's page to warn him—
—[Kylee, your sweat girl is a huge scam artist. She swindled Elijah out of ten billion. Be sure to hold on tight to your wallet. Don't let her deceive you.]
Joey: "Yeah. I just contacted the magazine's staff, but they were extremely arrogant. They refused to take down the article, even stating that our president is a public figure so they haven't infringed on any of his rights."
Brandon: "The capital behind 'Wealth & Technologies' is an old rival of Elijah. It's no wonder they're acting so brazen."
Joey: "I see. If the president sees this article, he's bound to be furious."
Brandon pondered, "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. This incident serves as a wake-up call. Elijah has indeed been a little too love-struck. And the amount he spent on Violette is way more than ten billion. It could also serve as a warning to Violette."
"But Violette won't be able to see this article in B country."
Brandon chuckled. With the news spreading like wildfire, how could it not reach her ears? He wondered how she'd react upon reading the news.
