Chapter 705 Changing the Public’s Opinion
While Sonia was working on uploading her post, Toby got to work as well. He pulled his phone out and logged onto his social media accounts before typing a few sentences and posting it online. He was a well-known businessman, so he had a large following. His followers ranged from regular citizens to other wealthy entrepreneurs. The moment he made a post, there were a lot of people who received notifications on their phones. These people were shocked as Toby was a man who barely used social media. How could one not be surprised when he suddenly updated his status?
Toby’s followers hastily tapped on their notifications to check his post, and they all gasped in astonishment when they saw what he wrote. ‘I’m writing to ask everyone to stop tagging me. I also hope that you guys will stop claiming that @Sonia doesn’t match up to my standards or that she’s bad or manipulative. I’m not as blind as you guys think I am. Being in the position I am, do you guys think I’m clueless about this matter? It’s a fact that she hasn’t done any of those things that others accused her of, but she’d still be the best woman in the world even if she has done such a thing!’
His status was like a huge rock being flung into a peaceful lake—it created huge waves that impacted everyone on the Internet. ‘Gosh, the big boss actually spoke up! His vegetated account is finally back in use! Sonia’s riding on his coattails!’ someone commented.
‘Our big boss, who never uses his social media accounts, is doing it for his ex-wife… No, they’re back together now, so she’s technically his girlfriend. Why is this so touching? Especially when he said that she’s the best woman even if she had made some mistakes… Gosh, this is just too sweet! He’s like the domineering CEO who makes an official announcement for his lady in TV shows… That explains why Sonia wants to get back with him. I’d also do it if I were her,’ someone else commented.
‘Hey, hey, hey! Aren’t you guys getting off topic here? We should be talking about whatever Jessica accused Sonia of! According to Mr. Fuller’s post, it seems like Jessica is lying. Am I getting this right?’ someone asked.
‘You’re right. Mr. Fuller does seem to be claiming that Sonia hasn’t done whatever Jessica accused her of,’ another person replied to the previous comment.
‘That’s fun. One claims that she did it, while the other says that she didn’t… Who’s telling the truth?’
‘Personally, I have more faith in Mr. Fuller. The Fuller Group is huge—Mr. Fuller wouldn’t risk being exposed for saying something that isn’t true just because of his personal favoritism. The public’s opinion has power over everything, so even an important figure like President Fuller would be impacted if the public were to go against him. I believe the person in charge of such a huge company would know better than to put himself in such a risky position,’ someone stated.
‘I agree!’ someone replied to the comment above. ‘I’m on Mr. Fuller’s side too! Jessica, who popped up out of nowhere, is much less reliable than Mr. Fuller. What Mr. Fuller said is right—it’s impossible for a man of his status to not know the sort of person Sonia truly is. He must know what she has or has not done, right? Furthermore, if Sonia had done such a thing in the past, why didn’t Jessica point it out earlier? Why is she doing it now? There’s clearly an issue here.’
‘I think you guys should pause your discussion temporarily. The other person involved just posted a status announcing that she’ll be hosting a press conference. Go take a look!’ someone commented. It only took a short while for Toby’s social media account to blow up—it wasn’t just netizens who were commenting, but there were also a large number of media and marketing accounts who were reposting his status to rub off on his fame.
However, it was an undeniable fact that Toby’s post had allowed many netizens to gain some perspective on the matter. On the other hand, once Sonia made an announcement about her press conference, she received a pop-up notification with a headline that was bolded by some news site. The headline was too eye-catching for her to ignore. “Fuller Group’s president updated his social media account?!” Sonia couldn’t help but read the headline out in surprise when she saw the bolded words.
“Hmm?” Toby looked up at her when he heard her talking.
“Did you post something?” Sonia lowered her phone as she stared at him.
“Yeah,” he replied.
“What did you post?” Sonia felt her heart racing. Her gut feeling told her that his post was related to her.
“Why don’t you look at it yourself?” he asked as he chuckled.
