Chapter 1319 A Turn Of The Farce
Vivi remained on her knees, orchestrating a theatrical plea for an extended period, yet neither J
nor Brandon reacted. The spectacle seemed to be a one-person show, leaving Vivi feeling deeply
humiliated and embarrassed.
Vivi looked at J, bewildered.
But as she lifted her gaze, she locked eyes with J, whose expression held a certain knowing
amusement, as if she had already deciphered Vivi’s intentions.
An inexplicable shiver ran down Vivi’s spine.
“Why did you stop?” J cocked an eyebrow, her tone dripping with sarcasm as she looked down at
Vivi. “Aren’t you going to continue crying and pleading for mercy?”
Avoiding J’s gaze, Vivi felt a surge of embarrassment but persisted with her performance, sobbing
and imploring, “I only hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive me and let go. of this resentment.
After all, I had no part in what transpired.” J’s eyebrows rose even higher. “Are you implying that
you weren’t responsible for hiring online trolls to target me? If not you, then who?”
Tears streaming down her face, Vivi sniffled, “All my ounts are managed by my agency. The trolls
were hired by them, unbeknownst to me. I implore you to forgive me for my ignorance and let me off.”
The onlookers, swayed by Vivi’s deste and pitiful disy, started speaking up in her defense.
“It appears this poor girl was entirely in the dark. Miss, please consider granting her an opportunity to
make amends.” “Companies can be ruthless, and many influencersck true autonomy. It seems this
girl is merely a puppet of her agency.” “Indeed, Miss. Given your privileged background, there’s no
need to press her further.”
Hearing the crowd rally behind her, Vivi experienced a surge of satisfaction, a sly grin spreading across
her face, hidden by her disheveled hair.
When she raised her head again, the smirk on Vivi’s face had morphed back into a pitiful expression as
shemented, “If Miss White still harbors anger towards me, my only recourse would be to atone with
my life.”
The bystanders cast even more empathetic nces at Vivi.
Upon hearing Vivi’s words, J’s gaze became more mocking. Feigning confusion, J inquired
loudly enough for everyone to hear, “Is that so? Then the payment ount used to pay the Inte
trolls was also controlled by your agency, wasn’t it?” Vivi was caught off guard. “I…”
J interrupted her, raising her voice in indignation. “I can’t believe your agency even manipted
your personal payment ount, using your funds to pay those Inte trolls! That’s utterly
reprehensible! This is a human nghts vition!”
Upon hearing J’s words, the onlookers who had been advocating for Vivi fell abruptly silent, their
looks of sympathy now reced with skepticism.

It was indeedmon for mediapanies at that time to maintain tight control over their social media
influencers’ actions and behavior. However, it was impossible for the agencies to exert control over the
influencers’ finances and payment ounts, and utilize their money to hire inte trolls. Despite their
susceptibility to rumors, the bystanders were able to see through such a tant ruse.
Vivi’s expression frozepletely, and the rehearsed pleas she had prepared seemed to desert her in
the face of J’s words. She was taken aback to discover that despite the public scrutiny, J didn’t
capitte under the pressure of public opinion and grant her immediate forgiveness. Instead, J
swiftly detected Vivi’s blunder and skillfully redirected the narrative. speechlessness,
Spotting Vivi’s speechlessness, J relentlessly pursued the matter. “Don’t worry, I’m not an
unreasonable person. I can’t toleratepanies overstepping their boundaries either. My husband’s
firm has a proficient legal team that will certainly assist you in taking legal action against such a
company and help vindicate your name.”
