Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 467

The stark black-and-white flyers were weaponized pages of character assassination, meticulously listing every fabricated sin to destroy Willow.

The explosive slander blanketed the village like a suffocating black net.

Everyone who read the flyers was struck dumb, their eyes wide with shock. The pristine image of the gentle, composed, and hardworking woman they thought they knew shattered into a million pieces.

Nobody bothered to fact-check the claims, nor did anyone care to look for the obvious holes in the story. That was the tragic reality of isolated communities—people were simple and straightforward, making them incredibly gullible and prone to mob mentality.

The locals had no concept of PR spin or malicious framing. Their straightforward nature made them dangerously susceptible to mass manipulation. A single vicious rumor on a cheap piece of paper was all it took to permanently overwrite reality.

When Ethan's parents saw the flyers, their stomachs dropped, paralyzed by a sickening wave of panic. They were deeply protective of their boy, simple yet cautious by nature. Even if they had their doubts about the accusations, it was a risk they absolutely refused to take.

To them, it was better to be safe than sorry. If even a fraction of the flyer was true, Ethan spending every day with her would inevitably corrupt him. As parents, their worst nightmare was their child falling in with the wrong crowd and picking up toxic behavior from a degenerate.

So, that very morning, they strictly forbade Ethan from speaking with her again.

Ethan didn't understand and tried to press them for reasons, but they blew him off, telling him he was too young to understand and didn't need to know the details.

But Ethan had his own mind. He knew Willow was a good person, and he genuinely liked her. Because of that, he completely ignored his parents' warning.
