Chapter 406
After Mason dropped Celeste off at Pinecrest Manor, he drove away
Owen changed car in the garage, bringing the clothes Celeste had given him, and hurriedly returned to the scene.
Celeste stood in the yard for a while before going back inside.
In just half an hour, topics like Angel being an illegitimate daughter and Quantum University’s presentation encountering an accident quickly climbed the hot search list.
Angel’s previous image was just too perfect.
Orphan, inspirational, rags to riches-these labels, once her image collapsed, immediately became weapons to attack her
As a famous “inspirational internet celebrity,” she had been using her orphan status to attract attention since middle school. Most of her fans paid attention to her because of her “tragic” background and “never give-up” attitude.
So when her image collapsed, her supporters instantly turned into haters.
Her account lost hundreds to thousands of followers every time it was refreshed, and in just ten minutes, she lost tens of thousands of followers. What’s worse, Angel always said things like “I’ve been through the rain, so want to hold an umbrella for others” online. Whenever there was a disaster somewhere, she would immediately call on her fans to donate and even open a reward feature on her website, claiming to donate all the rewards to charity.
However, some netizens found that some of her donation numbers couldn’t be found in the corresponding charity organizations.
Suspected of deceiving donations.
As soon as this news came out, Angel immediately became the target of public criticism.
Deceiving donations is a very despicable behavior, especially when it involves tricking the sympathy of netizens.
She’s not “going through the rain and holding an umbrella for others” at all, she’s clearly “going through the rain and pouring cold water on Shawn’s side was also in chaos. Once Angel’s identity as an illegitimate child was exposed, the media rushed in like flies smelling rotten meat, surrounding Shawn’s company in no time.
others”!
Shawn was trapped in the company, unable to leave.
Helen anxiously walked around the company with her phone. “Angel still isn’t answering her calls. I don’t know how she’s doing now.”
Helen was worried and almost sick. When she saw the news of Angel being beaten and bleeding from her nose, she couldn’t sit still.
Shawn’s phone was already turned off because as soon as he turned it on, countless calls from the media and netizens would come in, asking about his relationship with Angel.
His forehead was covered in sweat, clearly caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Who the hell put this up there?!”
“Who else could it be but Celeste?” Helen said angrily. “I told you to be on guard with her. She must have known something a long time ago. That’s why she dared to defy you over and over again. Why didn’t you believe me? She’s bringing this out into the open to ruin Angel!” Shawn was also filled with regret. He should have guessed what was going to happen after Celeste’s phone call this morning.
At the time, he was too focused on being angry and didn’t think about it, let alone imagine that Celeste’s actions would be so swift and ruthless.
She had learned Caitlyn’s cruelty to the extreme!
Shawn’s face darkened as he said, “What else does she have in her hands?”
Helen’s heart tightened. “Shawn, do you think she knows…”
“No way!”
Shawn cut her off, glanced at the door, and said thoughtfully, “Don’t blabber, let’s figure out how to get out of here first.”
Liam didn’t come back all night, and his phone was off. Owen’s phone could be reached, but he only picked up twice, and each time the answer was, “Mr. Reed is busy.”
Trisha also saw the news online and called her to gossip, “I told you there must be something fishy about your dad being so nice to her, and I was
right!”
“Looking back now didn’t we realize that Angel’s round face
the same mold”
The more Trisha spoke, the more she realized 1
