Jasper Shaw was mid-sentence when he saw the look on the young woman’s face and instantly understood everything.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "This is my fault, too."
Chloe Sinclair looked up, confused, and let out a soft sound of inquiry.
Jasper Shaw sighed. "Sunward Entertainment was the only profitable business Joseph Shaw had. I used the incident with your brother to bring it down, so he’s probably directing his anger over it at you."
Joseph Shaw had nothing left now.
The old master refused to even acknowledge him as his son. Recently, he’d even been looking into how to legally disown him.
Now that he was in trouble, not only was his own father not helping, he was trying to cut ties. On top of that, he was drowning in debt. Joseph Shaw’s life had been an absolute nightmare these past two days.
He tried to take advantage of Silas Sinclair and Liana Marsh’s arrival to get some money out of Chloe Sinclair.
But not only did he fail to get any money, he ended up in the news.
Knowing Joseph Shaw’s character, he definitely wouldn’t let it go so easily.
Chloe Sinclair was a little surprised after hearing the explanation.
"You’re the one who brought down Sunward Entertainment?"
"Mhm. I was also the one who reported Joseph Shaw for soliciting prostitutes."
Chloe Sinclair: "..."
’What an expert at screwing over his own dad!’
’But I love it!’
Chloe Sinclair laughed out loud, then said, "Nina Sinclair was the one who called Silas Sinclair and Liana Marsh here. I didn’t expect Nina to bring about her own doom so soon. Without their cash cow, the two of them would obviously set their sights on me. As for that so-called father of yours, he might want revenge, but right now he’s more interested in getting some money from you and me."
"What’s the plan now?"
Chloe Sinclair: "We wait. The real show is just getting started."
She paused. "As for the account that led the charge in reposting the video, I don’t plan on letting them get away with it."
It was an account with a decent following, yet it spoke out to chase clout and stir up public opinion without understanding the full story. Chloe Sinclair detested this kind of behavior and would never tolerate it.
She remembered in her past life, a video account had once stolen a photo from the internet without knowing the context, leading to the person in the picture getting doxxed.
Worse, some media outlets and marketing accounts never bothered to learn the truth. They blindly followed the trend and reposted the video, creating a massive public outcry that led a doctor to commit suicide by taking sleeping pills after being doxxed.
This was a complete loss of basic human decency.
And now, if it weren’t for this account reposting the video, it wouldn’t have created such a huge vortex of public opinion.
Hearing this, Jasper Shaw nodded. "Okay, I’ll take care of it when I get back. And don’t overthink the comments online. This will all pass."
After all, Chloe Sinclair was still a young woman, and the things people were saying online were incredibly vicious. Jasper Shaw was afraid she’d take it to heart.
In reality, however, Chloe Sinclair had been verbally torn to shreds in her past life. These venomous curses and screens full of doubt no longer affected her at all.
Jasper Shaw wanted to stay and keep Chloe Sinclair company, but he had urgent matters to attend to and had no choice but to leave.
「At three in the afternoon」
Chloe Sinclair herself still hadn’t responded.
Although her fans were anxious and wanted to clap back at the doubters online, they held back, afraid of causing more trouble for their idol since she hadn’t said anything.
