Chapter 19 Bird in a Gilded Cage ‘Lux Jewelry is too dumb. How can they not do a background check on their designer before signing the contract? How can they hire a homewrecker to be in charge of the First Love series? This is such a horrible reflection of it.’ ‘They have ruined such a great opportunity.
I reckon that this will be Lux Jewelry’s biggest flop since the start of their business.’ ‘Have everyone stopped finding out information on McK? I’m quite keen to dig more information about her. Be a sleuth and find out more about the wealthy guy too. We must ensure that this despicable duo ends up in disrepute.’ The comments on the internet became increasingly intense and Leanna’s background was revealed entirely. However, there was not even a mere mention of the alleged wealthy man’s identity at all. At that moment, Harvey quickly rounded up the staff and called an urgent meeting to try and find a solution to diffuse this situation in the shortest time possible.
Nonetheless, this matter was clearly a pre-arranged plot with someone fuelling the flames behind the scene. As soon as they removed the matter from the trending chart, there would be trolls on the internet who would create another hashtag and make the matter resurface on the trending chart. The force of this scandal seemed to be pressurizing Lux Jewelry to come up with a statement announcing their termination of contract with Leanna; in other words, they intended to keep this up until the protagonist was ruined. Leanna could clearly tell that this was a malicious plan toward her, therefore, Lux Jewelry evidently realized this too.
However, the termination of Leanna’s contract was not the major issue here. If this matter was allowed to persist and nothing was resolved, then this completely unjustified slander would tarnish Lux Jewelry’s reputation significantly. Still, the comments on the internet varied and no matter what action Lux Jewelry took, they would still be accused of siding with Leanna. Perhaps most people did not even care about finding out the truth, but they were much keener to see the situation turn out to be what occurred in their minds, a well-written plotline per se. Harvey spent the entire afternoon in his office without stepping out at all and Lux Jewelry was bombarded by enquiring phone calls from the media.
They were asked whether they were aware of this matter prior to the scandal. Furthermore, some press members even tried hard to gain the first interview regarding this incident. Leanna sat in the meeting room and looked at the condemning comments on the Internet written for her. Suddenly, she had a vision of herself in possession of a million fans, though all of them were, in fact, anti-fans. Truth be told, this matter was rather straightforward as she could easily figure out who was the puppeteer behind; there were only a handful of people who knew about her former marriage. Besides, that entire piece on the Internet was mainly dissing her and throwing shade at her character.
