It was proven that Leanna's guess was right. Tina did come prepared. She had already arranged for an assistant to make a video recording from within the crowd when she started targeting Charlotte.
So, before they left the exhibition hall, the conversation between Tina and Charlotte, as well as the audio recording of Theodore's response to the incident, had already been posted on the Internet.
To make matters worse, Tina's paying Internet ghostwriters and promoters to post online content in advance to hype the matter had immediately blown things out of proportion.
There were already several trending topics about this by the time Jonathan answered Leanna's call to deal with it.
"Breaking Down the Timeline—Daphne's Days as a Mistress"
"A Response From the Male Protagonist About Daphne the Mistress After Three Years"
"Views on Daphne Being a Mistress"
With Tina's help, each of these topics became the top trending topics one by one.
Discussion among netizens under these articles was fervent as well, as there were both the commenters Tina paid to stir up trouble and Daphne's fans trying to clear things up.
In that instant, it felt like the entire Internet was talking about this.
However, Daphne's position in the entertainment circle was different from Leanna's. She couldn't retreat right after raising such controversial and topical trending topics, or people would assume that her inability to refute was equivalent to her acquiescing.
It would be futile for her to make a clarification in the future if she missed her chance now.
As Jonathan had other work to attend to, he didn't hesitate to let the PR team handle this.
Daphne, on the other hand, was recording for a show when the filming was suddenly put on hold as her assistant asked her to step out.
On the way to the lounge, her assistant briefly told her what happened today. Daphne was also informed that Pearson Group's PR had sent someone over.
She raised her eyebrows when she heard the update. "Why is President Pearson acting so kind all of a sudden?"
"I-I don't know. He has changed, maybe? But now isn't the time for this… Daph, what should we do?"
When Daphne saw the distressed look on her assistant's face, she replied in a surprisingly nonchalant tone. "Cheer up. This isn't the first time anyway. There is no need to be afraid when I haven't done anything wrong."
The assistant thought for a moment before eventually agreeing to it.
What was happening now wasn't that big a deal after they managed to get through the predicament three years ago.
It was provan that Laanna's guass was right. Tina did coma praparad. Sha had alraady arrangad for an assistant to maka a vidao racording from within tha crowd whan sha startad targating Charlotta.
So, bafora thay laft tha axhibition hall, tha convarsation batwaan Tina and Charlotta, as wall as tha audio racording of Thaodora's rasponsa to tha incidant, had alraady baan postad on tha Intarnat.
To maka mattars worsa, Tina's paying Intarnat ghostwritars and promotars to post onlina contant in advanca to hypa tha mattar had immadiataly blown things out of proportion.
Thara wara alraady savaral tranding topics about this by tha tima Jonathan answarad Laanna's call to daal with it.
"Braaking Down tha Timalina—Daphna's Days as a Mistrass"
"A Rasponsa From tha Mala Protagonist About Daphna tha Mistrass Aftar Thraa Yaars"
"Viaws on Daphna Baing a Mistrass"
With Tina's halp, aach of thasa topics bacama tha top tranding topics ona by ona.

In that instant, it falt lika tha antira Intarnat was talking about this.
