Chapter 1299 The Evil Gaze
Lynette said she did it for Toby, thus she should take the blame alone if she was at fault. She would never drag her family into it, but Toby had gone too far this time.
She even mentioned how the announcement blew her grandfather off, resulting in his hospitalization. Toby further proved his cold-blooded side by not visiting him nor paying his greetings.
Her cries hit the netizens right at their soft spot, gaining her their support. Toby now became the target of criticism because Lynette intended to help him, albeit not grasping the whole situation and doing it in the wrong way. Still, it was callous of him how he decided to treat the Lore Family when she was helping him out, not to mention that her grandfather was once his mentor.
There were even comments about him being infatuated with Sonia. If he treated his tutor’s family in such a way just for a woman, how would his action speak about the credibility of his company?
Would he be responsible for the products catered to the public when he did not show mercy to the Lore Family?
The website was flooded with comments at the drop of a hat. The majority took Lynette’s side and reprimanded Toby, while the minority chose to keep quiet.
After all, there had been plot twists before this and they did not want to jump to a conclusion, especially when Toby had yet to elucidate his stance. Lynette’s side story alone was not enough to say anything.
Needless to say, the rational outsiders filled only the minor part. Most of them believed in whoever shed more tears; their emotions prevailed over their judgments.
Sonia pitied the foolish netizens instead of getting angry, for they could not discern the truth. Thus, what was the use of being mad at the fools?
She shook her head and stopped paying attention to those impulsive comments and Lynette’s crocodile tears.
She knew why Lynette started a live broadcast: to coerce Toby by leveraging the public’s sympathy. With the help of the public’s sympathy and pity, Lynette assumed that he would let the Lore Family off the hook once he could not put up with the oppression.
Ha… Naive.
In fact, Toby was never the one to give in to threats and he despised whoever threatened him. Lynette’s action would not bring her closer to her objectives but would add more reasons for him to hate both her and the Lore Family.
Besides, would she succeed if the netizens boycotted the Fuller Group?
Forget about the company’s nonparticipation in the food industry as well as the necessities manufacturing, which were industries that could easily be boycotted, the company mainly indulged in the heavy industry; real estate; tourism; technology, and other fractions involved in the running of society’s daily life.
Unless one decided to live with nature and never lay foot in civilization, it was compulsory to buy those necessities. Therefore, boycotting the Fuller Group was out of the question.
Despite their empty words on the Internet, the netizens knew that such an alternative was a mere futile protest. They were just letting off some steam at the spur of the moment.
Lynette was the only person thinking that it would be a success.
Sonia sneered while shaking her head. She then gave Toby a call to ask how he was going to settle the issue.
However, he might be busy with something else as he did not pick up the call. A helpless Sonia ended the call and decided to either attempt another call later or wait for him to return the call instead.
Needless to say, she had to get a change and prep for work, which was utmost urgent at the moment. She lifted a few bags of clothes back to her room.
