Unaware of this, Aylin and Ryker arrived at the popular bakery on the street corner. The
enthusiastic staff recommended their new dark chocolate cake. The whipping cream was sweet but not greasy, and the frosting design was exquisitely cute, winning Aylin’s affection.
The two of them found a sunny spot to sit down. Ryker laughed brightly, and the proud man raised an eyebrow, “What do you think? I knew you’d like it!”
Aylin curled her lips and said, “The taste is indeed quite good.”
The two of them were chatting casually when Aylin’s phone suddenly started buzzing with message
notifications. Aylin didn’t notice.
Ryker pursed his lips, “Aylin, your phone is ringing.”
Of course, he didn’t want his date with Aylin to be interrupted, but the fact that someone kept messaging Aylin must mean it was something important.
Unexpectedly, the message on the phone was from Hugo.
He texted: [Ms. Koch, today’s trending topics on Twitter are quite unfavorable for our company’s
image.]
Then, he added: [Someone is spreading rumors about you. Do you want the PR team to handle it?]
Moreover, he wrote: [It has already risen from third place to the top trending spot; it seems like there’s a driving force behind it.]
Aylin put down her fork, furrowed her brow, and opened Twitter.
Upon checking the top trending topic on Twitter, it was strikingly titled: [Model Sally assaulted by Aylin at a dinner party – what’s the motive behind the daughter of the Koch family’s deliberate attack?]
Upon opening, it was even more outrageous. Sally’s fans could be described as insanely supportive, with one person posting dozens or even hundreds of comments, all speaking up for Sally and overwhelmingly accusing and blaming Aylin.
One wrote: [Isn’t this a society governed by the rule of law now? Those who bully others by flaunting their power should be punished! So what if she’s a socialite? She’s just a blood-sucking capitalist! Disgusting!]
Another commented: [Exactly, they must have beaten Sally up so badly out of jealousy and did it on purpose!]
Someone else wrote: [So having money means you can do whatever you want and hit people randomly? I suggest you thoroughly investigate that so-called spoiled young lady. She probably
hasn’t done this kind of thing just once! Hiding behind her status!]
Condemned by both words and writings, their faults are too numerous to count.
Scrolling down further, there was another middle-aged director, once as famous as Bob, who came out to act as a mediator and a defender of justice, expressing his opinions.
He wrote: [I’ve worked with Ms. Truman several times, and she is a dedicated and kind-hearted model. If money and power can be used to harm others at will, then such unhealthy practices will prevail in the industry. It is crucial for the relevant authorities to strictly regulate this!]
The speaker made a strong and compelling argument, which was met with a chorus of agreement and praise in the comments section.
Aylin’s face was cold as she continued scrolling down, her fingertip pausing on a video. With a sneer, she clicked on it.
“Sally is my friend, I never thought something like this would happen…”
The witness in question was none other than Sariah, who just yesterday had tearfully begged Aylin for mercy, promising to turn over a new leaf!
.Sariah was sobbing, looking utterly fragile and harmless. “Yes, I was there that day. I saw Aylin hit Sally… Aylin was so fierce, I didn’t dare to intervene… She’s my sister, but I think hitting someone is still hitting someone, I can’t cover for her…”
This move quickly won the favor of Sally’s fans, who praised Sariah for her actions, saying that it was the behavior of a truly well-mannered young lady from a prestigious family, and that this was
the demeanor of a true socialite.
And here, Aylin’s image is that of a domineering and arrogant capitalist lady who oppresses others with her power!
Public opinion, though intangible, can have a significant impact on many things.
In just one hour, the stock data of the Koch Group had already experienced fluctuations. Even though the company’s official social media account had issued a clarification statement, people always tend to form their initial impressions, and they were all denouncing the company in the
comment section.
