Top Assassin with Superpowers Reborn novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 The Victim Charade

The banquet had a simple goal: to fix Clara and Michelle’s reputation.

Word of their kneeling incident had spread through Capaville’s elite circles, turning them into laughingstocks.

No one said it to their faces, but the gossip behind their backs was brutal.

Thanks to the spin team’s work that day, online opinions had shifted.

The PR crew had rebranded the whole mess as a school bullying case-painting Clara and Michelle as poor, victimized girls. Margaret? She was framed as the unreasonable, violent bully.

Now, hordes of people were bashing Margaret online-some paid trolls, some genuine netizens. True or fake, the narrative had flipped.

Matthew and the Millers saw the shift and jumped at the chance to throw this banquet. They invited all the rich and powerful in the circle, hoping to rebuild Clara and Michelle’s status among the elite.

They also called in every major media outlet.

It wasn’t really a banquet-it was a celebrity damage-control press conference.

Soon, Clara and Michelle would cry for the cameras, play the victim, and cement their innocent image.

The media would spin the story, making netizens feel sorry for them and gaining them even more fans and clout.

Take down Margaret and boost their own fame? It was a win-win.

Clara’s and Michelle’s outfits were a far cry from their usual glitzy looks,

They wore plain clothes, their faces pale and haggard-enough to make anyone who didn’t know the truth feel sorry for them.

Halfway through the banquet, the pre-arranged reporters swarmed in. Microphones and cameras instantly locked onto Clara and Michelle,

“Ms. Tucker, Ms. Miller, is it true you’ve been bullied at school?”

“Ms. Tucker, Ms. Miller, rumor has it Ms. Margaret Tucker bullied you because Mr. Miller rejected her at the engagement party. She’s getting revenge, isn’t she?”

Question after question trashed Margaret.

Clara’s eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling. “I-I don’t know. I daren’t talk about Margaret’s business…”

To netizens watching, she looked like someone who’d been hurt but was too scared to speak up. Anger toward Margaret grew even hotter.

“Mr. Miller, your engagement to Ms. Margaret Tucker was called off. Can you tell us why? We heard you ended it because she ran off with another man.”

Finished

Jose nodded calmly, coming off as graceful and mature on camera. “That’s true. But everyone has the right to pursue happiness, so I don’t blame her.”

It was a masterful line-shifting all the blame for the broken engagement onto Margaret.

A popular media outlet was live-streaming the event, drawing 2,000 viewers. Netizens watching flooded the comments, defending Clara and Michelle.

[Margaret deserves to be punished! Bullying her own sister like that!]

[I heard she grew up in the countryside and only moved back to live with the Tuckers a year ago. Must’ve picked up rude, violent habits there.]

[Mr. Miller is so unlucky! As the Miller heir, his fiancée cheated on him with another guy. That’s a total slap in the face-my heart goes out to him.]

[Don’t be fooled by Margaret’s looks! I heard she was ugly before. She definitely got plastic surgery!]

[Exactly! It’s hilarious-guys are calling her a ‘fairy’ and ‘the most beautiful woman. A plastic surgery fraud doesn’t deserve that!]

[Hey, screw you! You’re the fraud-your whole family are frauds! You ugly jerks are just jealous!]

[And for the record-Clara and Michelle knelt down voluntarily in the video! How is Margaret the bully here?]

Some people still stood by Margaret, unshaken by the changing narrative. But their voices were too faint- like drops of water in the ocean.

[Margaret’s a plastic surgery fraud and a bully! She must’ve threatened Clara and Michelle into kneeling!]

[Yeah! I read a story saying she’s the leader of a gang at school!]

[Anyone who runs a gang of troublemakers can’t be a good person!]

The spin team was good-really good. Public opinion was now completely one-sided.

“That’s all for the interviews, thank you,” Matthew said, putting on a noble act. “Please help these poor girls get the justice they deserve.”

It was 6:30 PM.

After the interviews, Clara and Michelle left the banquet hall for a hotel lounge to catch their breath.
