Chapter 713


    Josh Batton only made the joke because they knew each other very well.


    Moreover, it happened many years ago.


    He didn’t think it would be dug up now.


    Josh shook his head, helplessly.


    After scrolling through Weibo a while longer, he discovered an ‘anti-Josh Batton’ group on Weibo.


    There were at least a million people in it, and these were all his anti-fans.


    Apart from a bunch of made-up negativements about Josh, people shared criticisms of his


    acting skills, his singing, and his dancing. Somebody even imed that Josh didn’t graduate from


    primary school and that his educational background was all made up.


    When he scrolled further down, he discovered even more ridiculous stuff.


    There was a rumor that he had an intimate rtionship with Georgie Clementine, hispany’s


    CEO.


    It also imed that he gave up on renewing the contract with his previouspany and switched


    over to X Entertainment because of their rtionship…


    Allegedly, his career was smooth sailing after he joined X Entertainment because he treated


    Georgie very well.


    Josh felt very speechless after going through such false ims.


    Some anti-fans could make things up out of thin air.


    If they wanted to defame someone, they coulde up with all sorts of reasons. After scrolling


    down, he even saw an anti-fan iming that Josh really did drugs and hired prostitutes. The person


    even said that Josh’spany bribed the police to protect his image. There was also a im that


    the news about a teacher supporting him was also true, but hispany had made it seem like it


    was all made up.


    In fact, the ims all seemed logically wless.


    There were also countless likes andments that agreed with the original post despite how


    absurd the ims were.


    Everyone in the group seemed to be acting as if they were speaking from and upholding the moral


    high ground.


    In these people’s eyes, everything Josh’spany did was part of a conspiracy.


    Josh had no idea how many of these were professionally hired anti-fans and how many of them


    were genuine passersby.


    Meanwhile, X’s bodyguards really did toss Shawn into a river in the city.


    They left right after doing so.


    After climbing his way out of the river with difficulty, Shawn sat by the road in a downtrodden state


    while he tried to call someone back home with his phone.


    However, his phone was thoroughly soaked, and it was no longer usable.


    Suddenly, the sky turned dark.


    It looked like it was going to rain.


    Cold breezespped against his body from all directions, giving him goosebumps all over.


    At that moment, he had never felt angrier in his life.


    He felt like a rat that had been kicked around on the streets.


    Never had he felt this much shame before.


    “Josh Batton… X Entertainment, you’re all done for!” he uttered through gritted teeth.


    After that, Shawn limped across the road and grabbed a taxi home, ignoring the odd stares from


    people around him while he did so.


    ***


    After returning home, Shawn immediately got to work on defaming Josh.


    He swore to himself that he’dpletely destroy Josh.


    In fact, he offered to spend 300 million dors to ruin Josh’s reputation.


    The anti-fans became increasingly excited because of what Shawn said, and they started spewing


    more nonsense on the inte.


    Many social media tforms, including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and Weibo, were all riddled


    with various negative videomentaries about Josh.


    ? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    These people defamed Josh by saying he was an incapable artist with a poor personality, and they


    said that his image was all crafted. They criticized Josh for being ugly and relying on makeup to


    look better.


    Someone even looked for traces that Josh went through stic surgery and shared sphemous


    things about it. Apart from that, they imed that Josh was able to get past loopholes in the legal


    system. In fact, he was able to be cleared of allegations that he did drugs or hired prostitutes


    because of that.


    They even shared screenshots of Josh being close with Georgie in their daily lives through a


    compiled video, and they named it ‘the dominant CEO and his wife’.


    They were saying all sorts of things to defame him.


    Moreover, they also criticized Josh for having poor taste in fashion.


    Every single video about Josh was responded to withments that ‘Josh Batton must be


    destroyed’.


    It seemed like Josh was the number one public enemy on the inte.
