Clarissa and Matthew did not have enough time to delete the video.
Before they could react, the video was already spreading like wildfire.
As such, if they proceeded to delete it, it would just seem as if they were feeling guilty.
When Clarissa saw the video, the first thing she did was to inform Matthew.
“Let’s keep it. I’ll confront her with this next time. It’ll be a slap to her face.” Clarissa was enraged.
Matthew nodded in understanding and at the same time, he got the Tyson Corporation’s legal team to make preparations.
Perhaps, as netizens had already witnessed the prowess of the company’s legal team from previous experiences, they did not dare to post malicious comments about Clarissa in the newest video, where Hilary accused Clarissa of being a cold-blooded and selfish woman.
After all, legal action had been taken against all those who had joined in to scold Clarissa previously, and that had forced most of them to the brink of bankruptcy.
As such, it was definitely not a joking matter to be taken lightly and those who had some common sense would not involve themselves in the matter.
The comments section was strangely quiet. No one dared to speak ill of Clarissa outrightly. There were only one or two comments that subtly showed support for Hilary.
The majority of the netizens were waiting for the truth to be revealed.
Ellie arrived at Zen Highlands once she received news about the video. When she saw what was going on, she could not help but laugh.
“Clare, this has to be the quietest comments section I’ve ever seen! It’s so ridiculous that it feels almost like a joke…”
It could be so quiet either due to the netizens’ bad experience with the company’s legal team previously or their indifference, but Ellie still found it funny regardless of the reason.
Clarissa shook her head rather helplessly and said, “What’s so funny about it?”
Ellie pursed her lips and replied, “I’m not the only one who finds it funny! Take a look…”
The woman passed her phone to Clarissa. Indeed, there was someone who left a similar comment.
“I suddenly realized how much the internet needs Mr. Tyson. It feels so untainted now, without trolls, keyboard warriors, or anyone spreading rumors. It’s filled with so much love and sensibility!”
“Haha… the original commenter is spot on! It’s the first time I have come across such a sensational video having such a quiet comments section. It’s really funny, isn’t it?”
“Yeah! Mr. Tyson should totally be the ambassador for internet purification.”
“Can anyone afford to hire him?”
“Mr. Tyson, we need you to restore the purity of the internet!”
As no one dared to comment on the video itself, they could just ease their urge to do that by making unrelated remarks like that.
However, they seemed to have gotten on a roll, creating a joyful atmosphere in the comments section.
Even Clarissa could not help but let out a wry smile as she shrugged and returned Ellie’s phone to her.
“It feels like they have nothing better to do.”
Ellie laughed gleefully and leaned on Clarissa, unable to sit up straight.
“It’s all because my Uncle Matt is simply too amazing. He has even become the ambassador of internet purity! My Uncle Matt is so noble!”
Even though Clarissa rolled her eyes at Ellie, she could not help but smile as well.
It did, in fact, sounded quite noble.
However, that nobility could be just enough to infuriate some people.
Just as Clarissa expected, the peace on the internet was almost driving Hilary nuts.
Hilary had even tried to hire professional internet trolls to smear Clarissa. However, when those internet trolls knew what their task was, they rejected it instantly.
The leader of that team of internet trolls was imprisoned for a long while for smearing Clarissa the previous time.
Even though he returned to his original trade after his release from the prison, he learned his lesson and became more selective of the tasks he took on.
As for any jobs related to Clarissa, he will never take it up even if it cost him his life.
What happened to that leader had spread throughout the industry. While he was in prison, he had also befriended the leaders of other internet trolls syndicates.
As such, it would be impossible for Hilary to succeed in finding any syndicates who would be willing to smear Clarissa.
Hilary’s initial plan was to make use of netizens’ malicious comments to pressurize Clarissa, which would be more effective than legal means.
However, she had failed terribly at that and she did not have any outlets to vent her frustrations,
If she did not even manage to carry out that first step in her plan, there was no way she would be able to proceed further.
