Sweet Subterfuge novel by Trina Duo novel Chapter 572

The revelation of Yvette's scandal in the past by the anonymous social media account not only completely ruined her chances of making a comeback in the entertainment industry, but also pushed her illegitimate daughter into the spotlight.

The article that was published was written by Larissa herself, so she blurred out any information that would identify her. During the editing process, Rena carefully reviewed the article to ensure that Larissa's identity wouldn't be exposed before uploading it online.

Nonetheless, no secret could be hidden forever.

Larissa had lived with the Seymour family for many years. Although she was publicly introduced as Yvette's niece, those who were close to the Seymour family could guess that she was actually Yvette's illegitimate daughter after reading the exposé.

In the initial stages, this incident was just casual gossip discussed among the upper echelons. However, after the gossip had spread further, it naturally reached the ears of the media.

Several media outlets had called the Winston Hotel to schedule an interview with Larissa, but they were all turned down by her assistant with various excuses.

Unwilling to give up, the journalists even put on disguises and loitered around the hotel for a few days to lie in wait for Larissa. When that didn't work, they pretended to be hotel guests and made multiple complaints, creating a scene so that they could demand a meeting with the general manager, which was Larissa.

Finally, the exhausted manager of the housekeeping department revealed that Larissa had been hospitalized due to a car accident.

The media outlets had an extensive network of information sources, so it wasn't difficult for them to find out which hospital Larissa was admitted to and even which ward she was in.

The only problem was, there were two groups of men taking shifts, guarding outside her ward around the clock. Not even a fly could enter her ward, let alone a human.

When they could not get an interview with Larissa, the journalists harassed the attending doctors and nurses who were in charge of her, even fellow patients on the same floor who had never met Larissa before.

Fed up with the media's disturbances, the hospital received numerous complaints from everyone on Larissa's floor. In the end, the hospital had to negotiate with Lewis, hoping that he could handle the media, who were becoming a terrible nuisance.

Lewis had been working alongside Gary since he was young, so he picked up some tricks from him on handling troublesome people like the journalists.

Knowing the importance of media in the Internet era, Lewis didn't engage in conflict with them. Conversely, he politely invited all the journalists to a coffee shop nearby and provided them with sensational news that satisfied their curiosity. In exchange, they were prohibited from coming to the hospital to disturb the staff, nor could they try to dig up information about Larissa from other channels.
