The runaway groom novel (Irene and Isaac) novel Chapter 70

Chapter 70

Mrs. Watson had always been calm and composed — why was she panicking out of the blue?

Irene quickly put aside her work and asked, “What‘s wrong, Mrs. Watson?”

Mrs. Watson held out her phone in front of her. “Here, take a look.”

Irene glanced at the screen and saw that it was a video of the little piece of theater that Samantha put together at Central Hospital this morning. Someone has uploaded it online, but it was clipped and framed in a way that portrayed Irene as the villainess.

She did not need imagination to tell who was responsible –Samantha herself had done all that this morning solely for this!

With networking being as advanced as it is, it is very convenient to get someone flamed online if one is willing to pay enough for traffic. After all, netizens are rarely smart and believe whatever they see, never once trying to

uncover the truth for themselves. In fact, the worst ones are so warped in world view and character that they could drive a perfectly nice person over the edge!

She remembered a similar case that made the news recently, where a girl had entrusted a courier for the delivery of some food to her father. The girl tried to tip the courier for his help, but the courier refused, insisting that he was just happy to help. Still, the girl felt guilty and grateful , so she sent him fifty dollars worth of gift cards.

That, however, left her flamed by netizens for giving too

little.

The courier had been altruistic, while the girl was conveying her gratitude, only for her to suffer such ignominy.

Naturally, unable to bear the widespread condemnation, the girl committed suicide.

It was obvious from that case alone that netizens could kill without doing anything physical , making them far more horrific than the hangman!

And this was ultimately Samantha‘s goal– to make netizens flame Irene to death.

Irene, however, was not that narrow–minded that she would decide to end herself over some petty remarks.

Instead, she was going to cherish herself more.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Watson was grumbling, “Who are these people? This is ridiculous! How could they say such horrible things ? Telling people to die without knowing them?”

As every comment beneath the video was an one–sided outrage campaign against Irene, the mere sight of it angered Mrs. Watson.

Mrs. Watson nodded. “Of course. Just say the word.”
