The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1496

After being helped into the car, Damon's face turned grim despite Chloe's apparently good mood. "You sure have a lot of fans, huh?"
Chloe looked towards the hospital entrance. Her side profile revealed she was indeed in high spirits.
Damon smirked slightly, "If I ever do something that disappoints you, I bet your fans would tear me to shreds."
Chloe raised an eyebrow. "Planning on disappointing me, are you?"
"I once thought about trying to be more than just a passerby in your life, but rather your final destination."
In fact, he didn't care much about what that girl said. But her words, “You’re just a passerby in Chloe's life,” instantly turned his face stone cold.
The only uncertainty in his life was the woman in front of him. Back then, he went all out to pursue her, but couldn't guarantee he wouldn't let this woman leave him.
Sometimes caring too much about someone wasn't a good thing. Because he cared too much, he wasn't sure what sacrifices this woman would make for him. His fear wasn't that she didn't love him, but that she loved him too deeply.
What a contradiction.
However, Chloe didn't overthink things. Thinking about the people's attitudes in the hospital lobby earlier, she guessed the internet must have been buzzing.
She opened a webpage. The hottest topic was “Chloe's man got ‘snatched’ by a woman dressed like a pink polar bear.”
The comments below were all criticizing Damon. The most common narrative was that he was a bad guy.
The same idea but expressed in a million different ways.
"Why are there so many jerks!"
"Love comes quickly and leaves just as fast. Men always deceive. I'm done with love."
"In this day and age, we guard against thieves, robbers, and friends, but in the end, we still have to guard against men."
"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're good looking!"
"He looks decent and elegant, but he's just a wolf in sheep's clothing. It's okay to hang out with guys like this, but investing feelings is a no-no."
"I feel for Ms. Summers. So many things have happened in just a few days. And now she's been cheated on, again. It's just..."
"Who is that shameless hussy dressed like a pink polar bear? The whole world knows Ms. Summers and Mr. Harper are a couple, and she dares to be the third wheel!"
"If I knew who she is, I'd teach her a lesson for Ms. Summers!"
"Right! There are just too many trashy people these days, we should clean them up one by one!"
Chloe couldn't quite describe her feelings at the moment. Being protected on one hand and scolded on the other was a peculiar feeling.
But thinking about it, these people meant well. It was just Damon, who'd been misunderstood as the bad guy and scolded so viciously. Some of the comments were so harsh, she couldn't bear to read them.
Her delicate fingers swiped through the webpage for a long time, then she awkwardly scratched her forehead, sneaking a glance at Damon. What should she do?
After a moment of thought, she quietly put away her phone, intending to pretend she didn't see anything. She'd let Damon find out for himself.
However, just as she was about to put her phone away, Damon stopped her.
"Hey... "
Damon casually unlocked her phone and followed her browsing history. Chloe saw his face turn extremely dark after just a brief glance. This visible shift, from hot to cold, scared Chloe. She quickly leaned over, comforting him, "Don't be angry. They meant well. Those who don't know the truth are innocent. Don't take it to heart."
Damon pursed his lips, pointing at a comment with a grim face. "Who's this? Has no manners at all?"
Chloe peeked at the screen, a netizen commented. "Just by looking at this woman's dress, you can tell she's scheming. Judging by her figure, she should be in her forties. Still trying to act cute, it's disgusting! Mr. Harper's taste isn't that good, to treasure someone like this."
Chloe didn't know how to respond; she couldn't argue against such comments. No one understood the situation on social media platforms better than her. Freedom of speech and cyberbullying were rampant. Even she had used the media or these platforms to fight back against many people.
Every situation had its pros and cons. That was just the way society was; she didn't expect everyone to like her or support her, which would be too good to be true.
So, when necessary, one should learn to digest and ignore certain comments. What they said was their business. She still had to do what she needed to do.
Chloe knew herself very well. There was no need to live as others expected her to, for people who didn’t matter. It was impossible.
"There's no stopping this, just ignore it." Chloe said softly, without much comfort in her voice.
Damon was a smart guy; if she could let it go, he would see it even more clearly.
But then, he logged into his own social account. There weren't many messages on the account, but he had more followers than some top-tier celebs.
Chloe looked at him in confusion and had no idea what he was planning to do. But then she saw him, with his distinct fingers, clicking on the trending posts, and one by one, reported those netizens who made malicious comments about the "woman dressed like a pink polar bear".
There was no such thing as "anonymous reporting," and he was very active in the topic under the ID "Damon"!
Soon, there were red warning signs all over the discussion area.
All said——
"You have been reported by 'Damon.' Please watch your language."
Suddenly, the discussion area was filled with complaints and pleas of various IDs.
"Oh my god! This jerk reported me!"
"Me too! He reported using his real name, I've got to give it to him, he's brave!"
"I was reported too, I noticed, as long as it's an opinion against that lady, they've all been silenced!"
"Haha! Is he upset? Can't take it? Does he know the impact of his actions on Ms. Summers?"
"Seriously, I'm beginning to think Damon is way out of line!"
