Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 452

She didn't reply to texts either.

A knot of dread formed in Janina's stomach as she imagined the online storm Wendy was currently enduring.

But she knew that this was precisely the time to stay calm.

So, she opened the influencer's livestream.

In the stream, Mrs. Clifford was still playing the victim card, endlessly complaining about her miserable life.

Baron, wrapped up like a mummy, sat listlessly in a chair, serving as a prop to garner sympathy.

Janina wanted to jump through the screen and beat them all up.

How could they be such good actors?

If Baron was so ill and had just had an episode, shouldn't he be resting?

Why was he still sitting in front of the camera?

Any viewer with a shred of sense could see that this family of three was putting on a show.

Unfortunately, in this world, playing the victim is an easy way to win trust and sympathy.

Janina immediately reported the stream. But the report failed; the livestream continued as normal.

She contacted the employees at her studio, asking all of them to go to the stream and report it.

Perhaps the mass reporting had an effect, because the influencer's livestream soon ended abruptly.

Janina knew this was just a temporary fix that wouldn't solve the underlying problem. Mrs. Clifford's video had already gone viral, reposted and supported by many major influencers.

These influencers had huge followings, and Mrs. Clifford's video was a hot-button social issue. It couldn't be suppressed and would only escalate.

Janina had her PR department pay to get the topic off the trending lists...

Meanwhile, Wendy was in the midst of a firestorm.

How could Wendy be so heartless as to let the parents who raised her live on nothing but porridge and bread?

The holidays were just days away, yet her parents didn't even have a place to live. It was just too pitiful.

While her colleagues didn't show it on their faces, they were gossiping wildly in their private group chats.

The power of the internet was immense. In just over an hour, someone had dug up Wendy's detailed information: her university class, her current company, her home address...

Wendy's boss was a handsome, poised middle-aged man named Cain Page.

He had been in his office in an online meeting with a client when the client suddenly started lambasting Wendy's character.

The client even asked him why he would hire such a person as his secretary.

Cain was completely baffled. He hadn't seen the videos online and had no idea what was going on.

Unaware of the situation, he defended Wendy. "I trust Ms. Clifford's character."
