Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 627

What was the logic behind this?

Lucy gave it some thought and said, “Why don’t we wait for you to fulfill the one year promise you made to your mom. We can talk about the other year later.”

Joel’s face was wrung further, but he knew that this was the promise he personally made to his mother.

It was the condition for Lucy and him to get married.

He needed to uphold this promise.

Finally, he could only send Lucy off with his eyes.

A driver was waiting for her outside.

Carina jumped out of the car and handed her a hat, sunglasses, and a mask. It was a stealthy disguise. After making sure that she had sufficiently covered her up, she hurriedly brought Lucy to the car and drove away.

Lucy had to miss a few days of work since she was kidnapped by Fourth Cecil. Hence, when she arrived at the production company, she had to compensate for the scenes that needed to be shot for the next few days.

The staff in the production company had naturally seen the gossip on the internet.

They would be curious, even if they did not care.

Yet, they maintained a quietness around her. If Lucy was in their area, they would not bring the matter up.

After all, it was not something worth bragging about.

It was obvious that they were speaking about this sensational news by just looking at their faces.

Lucy knew that they were gossiping behind her back.

She was more than happy to pretend to not know so long as they did not bring the topic up in front of her.

The days peacefully passed by in this manner.

The internet gossip was piping hot for a few days, but Lucy never responded to any of the claims. Jada Swanson started to feel bored playing this game by herself.

Usually, the situation would only bustle when the other side would react, causing a fight between the two.

Since this was the case, the thrill died down.

The netizens who were closely monitoring the story noticed that there was no development. They slowly started to disperse and not care for the story anymore.

This strategy seemed easy, but in reality, was hard to execute.

After all, the norm was for battles to be fought with the exchange of harsh words.

It was not easy to pretend to not know what was going on, to not care, and to not look at the internet. It was extremely difficult.

Lucy was determined, under Susan’s guidance, so she refused to respond no matter how appalling the internet had turned into.

She did not turn on her phone or look on Weibo for a few days to not feel anxious about it.

If she needed her phone for work purposes, Carina would help her deal with the matter.

Hence, although she did not chance upon the wickedness of the internet, Carina had seen it all.

Carina could not help but pity Lucy further.

‘How could these people be this dishonorable?

‘Big Sis Lucy is obviously the victim here. Why didn’t they empathize with her, and instead bitterly hurled insults at her?

‘Look at these people. Are their words even humane?

‘They’re accusing her of being the daughter of a murderer. That she deserved to be berated. They demanded her to quit the entertainment scene. They even told her to go die!

‘These people don’t even know the truth!

‘They’re all just mindlessly hopping on the dark bandwagon!’

Lucy had established herself well over the years in the entertainment circle. She was sitting steadily upon the seat of a critically acclaimed actress.

She received numerous invitations to star in various movies. The competition was tight in the entertainment circle and she had naturally blocked the opportunities of many.

When her relationship was exposed, many quickly jumped on it and made the muddy water murkier.

The internet was shrouded by an evil air of darkness.
