Chapter 47
“What should we do?” she asked anxiously. This was a difficult situation to handle.
“Don’t we have witnesses? As long as we can prove that you didn’t do it, then the netizens will think that the other accusations are also fake,” he replied.
“But they were already fake!” Nydia retorted.
Jesse snorted lightly and looked at her with a mocking expression, but he didn’t say anything.
Nydia felt uneasy with his silence.
“If you need me to do anything, just let me know,” she said.
“Okay,” Jesse replied indifferently, using his eyes to signal that she could leave now.
Nydia had no choice but to leave for the time being.
She couldn’t figure out who had released the article. It couldn’t have been Willette, who was the main instigator of this whole thing. Releasing the article would only harm her. So who else could it be?
Not many people knew about this.
Meanwhile, Jesse had already started making calls.
“Find out who wrote this article and contact a bigger media outlet. Wait for my instructions,” he ordered.
“Okay, Boss.”
“We don’t need to control the comments or decrease the search rankings for now. Just leave it up there.”
“Boss, won’t this have an impact on our company?”
“Tell the company to prepare a detailed report on the data from when this situation started to escalate. We’ll discuss it in tomorrow’s meeting.”
“Okay, I’ll take care of it.”
Nydia couldn’t hold back anymore and went to find the hacker.
She asked the hacker to help find out who wrote the article and if possible, to also find out who gave the information to the writer.
Information like this usually goes through several hands, and she needed to know the source in order to resolve the issue.
She waited for the hacker’s message and didn’t check the comments on Weibo during that time. She turned off her phone directly because in this situation, countless unknown numbers would definitely call her, and turning off her phone was the best solution. However, what she didn’t expect was that the impact of this incident was huge, and it spread quickly.
Molly and Tavish were also affected at school. A teacher took photos of Molly and Tavish and posted them online. The online netizens were once again in an uproar.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Are these two children not Jesse’s children? Jesse should do a paternity test,” someone commented.
“Are you blind? Can’t you see that the girl and the boy look alike? They are like two peas in a pod with Jesse,” another person responded.
Someone even compared Jesse and Tavish’s photos side by side, and Tavish was like a miniature version of Jesse. The two children’s looks were there, and people couldn’t help but like them.
“Rumors spread like wildfire, but the truth takes time,” one person commented.
“With just one article and two photos, they accused her of murdering her own son. Can’t they provide some substantive evidence?” another person criticized.
“Jesse and Nydia haven’t come out to deny it. What does that mean? Are they looking for a public relations crisis?” someone speculated.
Because of this incident, Molly and Tavish were already being asked about it by other kids at school.
“Tavish Pascall, were you really thrown into the lake by your mom? Is she really trying to drown you?” a kid who heard about the incident from adults at home came to school and asked Tavish. This boy didn’t get along well with Tavish and often picked on him.
Tavish looked at him coldly and said, “Of course not!”
“But everyone is saying that, and your mom doesn’t like you. She must want to drown you!” the boy retorted.
Before Tavish could say anything, someone suddenly rushed out and punched the boy in the face, saying, “How dare you badmouth my brother!”
