Chapter 376
In the next three days after the ident, Glenn had been at home all the time. Since Patrick had
controlled the public opinion, most of the paid influencers on social media wouldn''t mention us as
they forwarded Emily''s posts.
Even though someone did, the post got deleted immediately.
If someone mentioned us in thements, the paid posters hired by Patrick and theizens would
spontaneously scold them.
Over these three days, nobody judged Glenn and me, the victims. Whoever mentioned us would be
scolded. In theizens1 opinion, we couldn''t be more miserable enough and that we shouldn''t be
implicated.
Therefore, up to now, only Emily and Shelton were the leading roles in the whole scandal.
However, over the past three days, all the paid posters and influencers started to take advantage of
the poprity of this scandal and madements about this matter. Although most of them
criticized Emily for being a mistress, more and more of them began to target Shelton.
After all, he took the initiative to do it.
And Emily was just a little maid.
If he hadn''t taken the initiative, the whole scandal naturally wouldn''t have taken ce.
In manyizens'' opinion, Emily was just a 20-year- old girl whose world view hadn''t yet been
completely solidified. After meeting Shelton, who was gentle, considerate, sexually potent, and
sessful, she naturally was confused and did something inappropriate.
This kind ofments gradually gained support on the Inte.
Seeing this situation, other paid posters began to makements and voiced their own opinion.
Theizens were powerful. In just a few days, Shelton, who was originally a benevolent and kind
doctor, became a degenerated viin, bringing discredit to the industry.
When I flipped through thesements, I couldn''t help but feel a little worried in my heart.
If I were the protagonist, no matter how mentally powerful I was, I probably would copse.
However, over the past few days, no matter how theizens scolded Shelton, he didn''t voice his
statement. I even wondered whether he had gone abroad and that he wouldn''t bother with these
things in City Y at all.

Recently, Nancy and I had been working on designing the teahouse.
We had a tacit understanding. And regarding the style of the teahouse this time, both of us were
familiar with it.
So while designing the teahouse, we handled it with ease.
That evening, we were going to refine the drawing and work out a draft. To finish the work in one go,
the two of us worked overtime for a while.
After we finished refining the drawing, we revised whichever part failed us.
By the time we were done, it had been 11 p.m.
Nancy nned to send me home.
However, we smelled strong alcohol as soon as we went out.
I turned my head to look for where the smell came from. Then, I saw someone leaning against a
corner of the wall and sitting still there.
Nancy and I were both shocked.
We looked at each other and decided to go over there together.
Nancy took out her cell phone and turned on the shlight, illuminating the corner of the wall.
Under the light, I saw that the one lying there was none other than Shelton, the poprly-searched
one online.
"Why is he here?"
Seeing him like this, I felt sad. After a moment of hesitation, I walked over and pushed him, "Are you
awake?"
Shelton lifted his eyelids slightly. Seeing that it was me, he twitched the corner of his mouth, smiled,
and said, "Seeing me in this state, aren''t you quite happy?"
I didn''t expect that after I hadn''t seen Shelton for days, the first sentence he said to me would be
actually this.
I didn''t know why Shelton would think so. There was no hatred between us. Why should I like to see
him end up being in such a miserable situation?
I frowned slightly, "Get up. It''s cold here. I''ll get a taxi for you and send you home."
He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Home? You''re not there anymore. There''s no home."
His words touched me. I wanted to help him up. However, Shelton was so heavily weighted. Even if
he was sober, I probably couldn''t help him up. Now that he was drunk, making him more heavily
weighed. In that case, no way that I could support him.
Nancy stood next to him and said, "Call the police." "Don''t." I took the fact that Shelton was popr
online into my consideration. If he went to the police station, he surely would dominate the trending
topics once again. So I said, "Let''s try to help him up."
Nancy and I spent a lot of effort dragging Shelton into the studio and putting him on the sofa.
After that, I found that I had been sweating profusely.
In fact, I wasn''t sure whether Shelton was indeed drunk at our door or just acting. There probably
would be a lot of bodyguards waiting for uster.
After all, because of the scandal online, he was utterly discredited. And it was likely that he would
do something desperate.
I said to Nancy, "You should go home first. I''ll call Patrick and let hime here."
"I''ll keep youpany." Nancy refused to leave me alone.
"It''s okay. I''ve been with him for so long. And I know what I''m doing. You can leave now."
Under my repeated persuasion, Nancy left in the end.
As soon as Nancy left, I nned to call Patrick.
However, when I took out my cell phone and nned to dial Patrick''s number, someone suddenly
reached out one hand and grabbed my cell phone.
I turned around in fear and saw Shelton, who had been drunk just now, was awake now. He looked
at me with my cell phone in his hands.
However, the look in his eyes was extremely disoriented, indicating that he was still drunk.
After confirming that he was still drunk, I felt a little d in my heart.
However, I was a little nervous as well, fearing that it would be a trap.
As I was worried about what Shelton would do next, he suddenly sat up from the sofa with a bitter
smile at the corner of his mouth, tilting his head, "See? After leaving me, you are living a good life.
So, no one needs me."
"It is not like this," I said subconsciously.
However, I didn''t know why Shelton would suddenly say this.
Shelton had apletely blurred look in his eyes. He raised his head and looked up in my direction.
It was unknown whether he was looking at me or not. Moving his lips slightly, he said, "Sure
enough, no matter where I am, I''m redundant. No one will like me. Do you know? In fact, when I
was young, my mother often scolded me."
"She scolded me for being a good-for-nothing, saying that I didn''t have the ability to make my father
stay with us and that I couldn''t do anything well. So I had been more conscientious than others
since I was a child, hoping to win my mother''s praise. However, no matter how hard I tried, including
scoring 100 and getting first ce in the whole grade in the examination, my mother wouldn''t praise
me. However, as long as I failed to do something well in the slightest, my mother would beat me up
and scold me, saying that I was useless."
I stood there and listened to Shelton''s words. A scene showing a helpless little boy and a cold and
cruel woman showed up in front of me.
It turned out that Shelton was so poor when he was a child.
I took two steps forward.
Without looking at me, Shelton continued, "When I was very young, I knew that I was a child of the
Cowell Family. At that time, I often read the news of the Cowell Family in the newspaper. Originally,
I didn''t feel much about it. But when I was in my senior year at high school, Patrick began to be
covered in every report...
"From then on, my mother scolded me to a more intensifying extent. Shepared me to Patrick in
every way. I had been a top student at Patrick''s age and had won a top-grade prize in International
Mathematical Olympiad, which she had forgotten. Every time I retorted, she would hit me...
"After I took the college entrance examination, she knew that I probably would leave her. So she
used me to vent her anger on me and asked me to studymerce, saying that I should be better
than the children of the Cowell Family. At that time, I secretly changed my major in the application
form into medicine."
Hearing this, I was originally sad.
However, at this time, a strange smile suddenly appeared on Shelton''s face. After a long pause, he
continued, "I changed my major at college to kill her without leaving any traces behind."
