Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 274

Chapter 274

After all, Christopher had no one to rely on except Layla. On the other hand, Zavier and Zaiden had worked at Solace Corporation for over 40 years. Hence, their connections within the company were wide and deep. In the past, with the presence of Kendrick, the two parties could maintain a balance, but now this balance had been broken.

Within the company, those who had chosen a side had long made their choice. Those who hadn’t chosen a side were probably still on the lookout. One could say that Christopher was surrounded by wolves.

Since they could hurt Zachary and Kendrick, they could hurt Christopher too.

No one could tell what would happen next.

Christopher answered, “I know, Joyce.”

Joyce nodded and was about to leave. She halted and looked at Christopher again. “Are you publicly announcing your brother’s medical treatment in Nardor today?”

Christopher only hummed in reply.

Although Solace Corporation was not a listed company and could not explain everything to the public, many of its projects involved many enterprises and even government departments. That had to be explained to them.

But once Kendrick’s accident was made public, one could imagine the sheer amount of opinions on the matter.

Joyce looked at Christopher worriedly and said, “Chris, you have to be mentally prepared. The public opinion may not be so easy to deal with this time.”

Christopher replied, “Don’t worry. I can handle it.”

He had already informed the Public Relations Department and contacted the best public relations team in the industry. Once the news of Kendrick’s accident was made public, he would control the direction of public opinion and minimize the impact.

However, he knew that public opinion was the most uncontrollable thing.

Especially now that Kendrick was incapacitated, other enterprises would view it as a great opportunity for them and would not let the chaos end in a hurry. Moreover, the internal administration of Solace Corporation was in disunity, and they wouldn’t let Christopher be the Acting Chairman that easily.

Therefore, as soon as the news of Kendrick’s accident became public, a financial influencer posted an article about the family behind Solace Corporation-the Solace family who founded the company more than 200 years ago and continued up until Christopher’s current situation.

The article revealed information about every chairperson of Solace Corporation.

The financial influencer concluded that only the main house’s eldest son was qualified to take over Solace Corporation. Then the article continued with some of the company’s achievements during its heyday and details of that era’s prominent family, the Solace family.

These days, people were already curious about the inner workings of a wealthy family, and they were even more curious about the Solace family now.

Therefore, as soon as the article was published, it immediately attracted many netizens who liked gossip to join the discussion. At first, they treated it like a joke. After all, it was none of their business.

But soon, someone shared the article and left an insidious comment, using a way of speaking that seemed like they were an insider in the circle. The comment started by mentioning the ex-chairperson and the current chairperson of Solace Corporation, who had been successively involved in an accident. Then, the comment ended in an envious tone, where the commenter said Christopher was too lucky.

The seemingly ordinary comment aroused the suspicion of many netizens. Soon, the comment was viewed so many times that it became a trending topic.

The subsequent comments made by the commenters changed from a joking tone to a darker one as the situation escalated to infighting between brothers in a rich and powerful family. They made conspiracy theories about whether Christopher was the one who hurt his father and brother to take over the company.

Then someone began to dig up Christopher’s past. As a student, Christopher had disciplinary problems, as he fought with others and bullied his classmates. Later, he was involved in debauchery and became an irresponsible playboy. He abandoned his girlfriend, who had been with him for many years, and cheated with a third party. He got her pregnant, and she had his child.

All of his past misdeeds were making the public angry.

Then, the netizens figured out the third party who was involved in Christopher’s relationship with his girlfriend of many years+Yuliana.

They dug up everything about Yuliana, from her birth, her parents, to her ex-husband and their divorce.

The netizens maliciously guessed that Yuliana’s divorce was because she cheated on her husband with Christopher during her marriage.

Moreover, Yuliana’s father made people even angrier.

Public opinion on the internet had gone entirely out of control. The online verbal attacks against Christopher and Yuliana were nasty. They cursed them with words like “a bitch and a son of a bitch is a pair made for each other” and “scummy adulterous couple.” Some even cursed their newborn child.

For three days in a row, the online verbal attacks did not stop.

“That’s too much!” Looking at the online abuse, Xandria was so angry that she

almost cried. “It was Annabelle who seduced Harry first. Why would they call you a mistress and a bitch? Shouldn’t the bitch be Annabelle?”

After seeing the abuse online, Xandria specifically went to the Solace residence to accompany Yuliana. Yuliana never competed with others for anything. Even if Yuliana had someone like Damian for a father, she did not use privileges. She had been relying on her achievements and had moved step by step

any of her to get where she was right now.

Yuliana was in a daze these days because she had not been subjected to such abuse before. Especially when she saw how they cursed Rowan on the Internet, she had the urge to retort for the first time. However, when she picked up her phone and typed a few lines, she suddenly calmed down and stopped.

“It’s useless to say anything in response. After all, they’ll continue their abuse, and they can even do it more fiercely,” Yuliana reasoned inwardly.

One was powerless against public opinion. Once people set their minds on a certain perspective, it was hard to sway them. Even if they find out they were wrong after some time had passed, they would be ashamed to admit it. Instead, they would distort the truth to prove that they were right.

Yuliana said, “Christopher called for the company to collect evidence. When things cool down a little, he will sue several netizens.”

Legal means may not be completely effective for cyber violence, but at least they could deter it.

Xandria replied, “Yuliana, don’t worry. I’ll use an alternate account to have a go at them. Just watch while I roast these online trolls!”

So, Xandria created an alternate account before fighting with the netizens. Unfortunately, Xandria did not become happier after she joined the fight. Instead, she became increasingly angrier, and rage surged through her entire body.

From the get-go, these netizens pointed out that Xandria’s account was, in fact, Yuliana’s alternate account. Not only did they attack Xandria more fiercely, but they also kept ridiculing her. She had accidentally made a typo, and the netizens said she was illiterate and uneducated due to that mistake.

Xandria was so angry that her heart pounded intensely in her chest. Finally, she flung her phone away.

“Why are these online trolls so unreasonable?” Xandria was so angry that she was. about to cry. “Yuliana, you did nothing wrong. Why did you get scolded the most in the end?”

Seeing Xandria like this, Yuliana’s eyes were also wet. Yuliana turned around and held back her tears.

“Yeah. Why did I get the most scolding in the end?” Yuliana wondered despairingly.

Yuliana couldn’t figure it out, but there were too many things in the world that couldn’t be figured out.

Xandria left the Solace Residence at night.

After she left, Joyce came over and talked to Yuliana for a while. The former advised the latter not to read the comments of the recent matter on the internet, lest the latter feel upset. The Public Relations

Department of Solace Corporation was already trying to remove the trending topic, block related topics, and suspend the accounts of some online trolls.
