    Chapter 228 Malicious Comments


    Lennon was ruthless when beating upn


    “I got beaten up like this, and no one cared. Tan said in a intive voice.


    “I was just trying to do a good deed to help a junior who got pregnant, but look what happened,” he


    continued.


    “Their influence is just too great. They came to hit me yesterday, and today, the researchb I work for


    fired me.” His voice was filled with distress, almost to the point of tears.


    Cherise frowned and turned up the volume on the online live broadcast.


    “I got him fired from the research institute,” Damien said while leaning back in his chair, not bothering to


    look up, as he sliced an apple for Cherise. “I was the one who got him into that job in the first ce. But


    he did something against my trust, so I requested that the institute terminate his employment. I don’t


    see anything wrong with that.”

    Cherise pondered momentarily and agreed, “That’s fair enough.”


    It was Cherise who had initially requested Damien’s help to secure a job forn at the research


    institute. He had gotten the position solely because of the connections rted to his association with


    Damien. Losing a job essentially handed to him through those connections when those ties were cut


    wasn’t an unexpected oue. But onlineizens had a different perspective.


    “Poor guy, don’t lose hope, bro!”


    “Don’t stress, buddy, we’ve got your back for some sweet revenge!”


    “@AdianaOfficial, you just gonna let them get away with this?”


    “Lennon, that’s cold-hearted!”


    “Cherise, that’s not cool!”


    “Lennon, this is uneptable!”


    “Cherise, you should know better!”


    A flood ofments filled the live stream.


    Asizens rallied behind him,n sought to fan the mes of support. He exaggeratedly sighed and


    remarked, “Hold on, everyone. Cherise probably has her reasons.”


    “She has her own matters to deal with, after all…”


    “But I’m truly at the end of my rope. As someone without power and influence, oppressed by the


    privileged, what recourse do I have other than contemting the unthinkable?” His words hung


    1/2


    heavily in the air, and he stood, peering out at the distant sea as if contemting a plunge


    The live stream feed became a sea ofments – some encouraging him to reconsider others hurling


    ineults at Cherise and Lennon, and somementing the state of society


    n!” A young man in white rushed to his side, grabbingn’s arm. “Don’t give up, no matter what Let’s


    figure this out together.”


    “Look at all the people supporting you online. We’ll speak to the head of the institute, and hell surely


    listen,” A girl chimed in, her words resonating with the live chat audience.


    “Let’s gather at the institute’s entrance and make our voices heard together!”


    “Let’s persuade the director: it’ll make a difference!”


    Cherise clutched her phone, her eyes scanning the array ofments fromizens. She was taken


    aback by the malice people could muster. Oblivious to the truth, they refused to investigate, letting a


    mere brawl video paint her as a promiscuous woman who had an affair with Lennon and was now


    pregnant. Their words, harsh and defamatory, poured in without remorse


    “Stop reading theirments.” Damien interjected, shielding her phone with his hand. “I’ll handle this”


    Cherise closed her eyes, but the hurtful words echoed in her mind. “I want. I want to deal with it


    myself,” she stated, her head held high as she looked at Damien with a determined gaze. “I want to


    reim my reputation and honor on my own.”


    Damien assured her. “I can protect you.”
