For a moment, La failed to react to that statement. It took another moment for her to
understand what Luke meant.
Luke was truly an old hand at this. He was a slippery and cunning businessman.
After La’s own marketing campaign, Caroline had negative press hounding her steps. As long
as they tied Sonia to Caroline, Sonia’s sterling reputation would dissipate into nothing.
Thinking of this, La rushed the advertising department to have Sonia’s sponsorship
announcement on Twitter go viral.
Because of theparison with Daphne when the sponsorship announcement was made, Sonia
had gotten on the list of trending topics before. However, that had been two weeks ago.
Now, after hertest boom in poprity, everyone was reminded of the initial announcement.
La didn’t stop there. She went a step further.
Beyond having the initial announcement go viral again, La had the advertising department get
someone to release fake news on a massive scale.
The news implied that Caroline was the one backing Sonia and had done all this to go against
La herself.
She also paid for people to flood thements, swaying public opinion. Now,izens all thought
that Caroline had spent all the money on Sonia, not the quality of her clothing.
This caused everyone who had made an order to worry about the clothes‘ quality and try to get a
refund.
At the start, there were only a few dozen refund requests. Later, this shot up to number in the

She hadn’t fought back against the smear campaign conducted against her online because La
had been smart about it this time.
La hadn’t gone at her directly, but rather indirectly. All the posts La shared were about how

Since La said that Caroline had given Sonia financial backing, she would give credence to it.

Caroline kept looking at Sonia, who had her head lowered and hadn’t spoken all this time. “What
