Walking over, he saw his parents watching the live stream. They scrolled quickly through the comment section and spotted a comment or two criticising Violeta.
Niall exhaled in frustration, "What's the point in worrying about a few trolls? Just report them."
Irene replied, "It's pointless. We already reported them, but they said it doesn't count as insults."
After a moment of thought, Niall proposed a straightforward solution. "Well, in that case, let's just purchase the company. That way, we can ban whoever we choose, correct?"
Irene slapped her thigh. "Exactly! We were so worked up just now. Didn't expect this twist! Honey."
Anton immediately called his secretary to check on White Bear TV. The acquisition might take time to happen, but investing as shareholders? That could work! Once Violeta returned, everything was already settled. White Group had acquired White Bear TV, becoming its largest shareholder.
Those troll IDs? Each one got banned!
"I'm back, Mom, Dad! Liam's here, too. I won the match!"
Irene put down her phone and ran to Violeta, beaming joyfully, "Vio, you're back! Tonight, your dad and I watched the live stream! You're amazing, our precious!"
"Yeah, Vio, I watched your match too! So cool!"
Though Violeta saw it as routine, being surrounded by family praise made her feel bashful.
"I've just made it to the finals but haven't won yet. Please don't praise me too much."
Irene said, "Of course you can win! Who's as capable as my daughter?"
"Thanks, Mom."
Irene hugged Violeta's shoulder and said, "Oh, by the way, don't take those insults seriously and don't let them affect you. You're the best."
Insults directed at her?
Violeta had experienced so much in her previous life that she wasn't bothered at all by these online trolls.
She couldn't care less.
But she hadn't expected her family to be so concerned.
Violeta smiled reassuringly and said, "Mom, I won't let them get to me, so don't worry."
Anton joined in. "It's reassuring to hear that. But remember, it's fine if it somehow gets to you. Dad's taken a step ahead by investing in White Bear TV. We can shut down any negativity by banning those who spread it!"
Violeta, taken aback, inquired, "Invested, you say?"
Niall contributed, "Absolutely, I witnessed it myself when I returned. There were Mom and Dad on the couch, handling trolls head-on. That's when the decision to invest was made—a move to permanently close the doors on all their accounts, once and for all."
Goodness.
