Chapter 365
Chapter 365 Just Friends
In Oceanvile, Catherine came across several high-profile figures on Twitter, all with verified ounts.
One of them was a renowned music producer who had posted a tweet garnering a lot of likes and
followers on Twitter.
“The music industry has seen better days than a decade ago, but we’re still working hard. Let’s not bring
negative influences into the music industry and tarnish thest traces of purity in this circle!”
Although he didn’t directly mention Catherine on Twitter, he had previously liked a post from a popr
blogger who criticized Catherine. It didn’t take much guessing to figure out who he was referring to.
A group of fans joined in. They passionately supported his views and added their own criticism of
Catherine. Branden nced at the man’s Twitter profile and immediately provided Catherine with
background information.
“He is from the Hazels in Oceanvile. He has a niece participating in thepetition.”
With thest name Hazel, she participated in the samepetition. Catherine looked up at Branden and
asked, “Is it Emma Hazel?”
He nodded and replied, “That should be the name.” Even though he hadn’t taken direct action, he had all
the information he needed. Catherine squinted her eyes as she was deep in thought.
She couldn’t help but feel that this situation wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed, especially
considering the frenzy on Twitter. Catherine recalled her homeroom teacher’s instructions and decided to
post an update on her Twitter ount.
Meanwhile, Ronin was engrossed in his game. He was infuriated by those online trolls attempting to
smear Catherine. He could only find sce by eliminating a few opponents in the game. Suddenly, a
notification popped up.
“Your friend has posted a tweet.”
He only had one friend on Twitter, and that was Catherine. The moment Catherine updated her Twitter,
Ronin immediately closed his game and logged onto Twitter to check it out.
Catherine posted a tweet. “Just friends.
It’s all about one’s abilities.”
With these simple words, she made a bold statement. Upon seeing it, Ronin let out a loud cheer and
enthusiastically liked the post. He eximed, “Catherine, that’s amazing!”
After that, he took a screenshot of Catherine’s tweet and shared it in a WhatsApp group. He actively
mentioned all his friends and said, ” Hurry up and show some support for Catherine. Give Catherine
some likes!”
Although most of them weren’t active on Twitter, some of them had verified ounts and a substantial
following.
Triston had a verified ount that indicated he was the CEO of a prominentpany. He also retweeted
Catherine’s tweet and liked the post.
He mentioned Catherine and made ament. “Cheer up, Kathy. Let’s not tolerate anyone trying to ride
on Catherine’s poprity.”
Yesenia was a social media maven who loved to share and had an ount with numerous followers on
Twitter. She also retweeted Catherine’s post on Twitter and rallied behind her.
Initially, the tone ofments on Twitter was overwhelmingly negative, but with these influential figures
showing their support for Catherine, thendscape shifted dramatically.
Some clueless fans made ament. ” How much did Catherine pay to get so many people to promote
and defend her?”
If such ament were made on a typical tweet, it would be ridiculed mercilessly. But when it was made
under Triston and the others’ posts, it only invited scorn for thementer’s ignorance.
Could someone like Triston, who was the CEO of Boren Entertainment and known for his extravagant
lifestyle andvish spending, be bought?
And did the Lamberts need money?
Triston found thement amusing and posted a picture of several ck credit cards from his wallet on
Twitter. Then, he made ament.
“How much for an army of trolls? Can I use these cards?”
The tone of the discussion took a sudden turn, and fans started posting variousments. They pointed
out that even a single card from the set would be enough to buy an airne.
Theymented that a wealthy young man like Triston couldn’t be short on money. As for Yesenia, her
Twitter ount was renowned for extravagance. A wealthy girl like her wouldn’t be short of money.
Their WhatsApp group exploded into chaos due to Yesenia’s and Triston’s provocative actions, and
those who didn’t have Twitter ounts were moring to create one.
However, what intrigued them the most was Branden’s reaction. Before they could indulge in any more
gossip, Yesenia let out a scream in the group.
“Wow! Hurry up and check Twitter. My uncle is so cool!
“Oh, my God…”
Aidan and the others scolded Yesenia for her constant dramatic reactions. They called her
inexperienced. Nevertheless, they couldn’t resist pulling out their phones and checking Twitter to see
what Branden had done.
After all, it was a rare asion for someone as low-key as him to make a public statement. Branden had
always maintained a low profile, with very few reports about him in the media. It was even challenging to
find a single photo of him.

asionally, Branden could be seen at international economic forums during some global summits.
Just as online discussions were focused on how Catherine knew so many people, an official Twitter
ount with no connection to the entertainment industry suddenly retweeted Catherine’s Twitter post. It
drew the attention of the public.
The only official Twitter ount of the Duncan Corporation had shared Catherine’s tweet on Twitter with
a simplement. “Support!”
The Duncan Corporation was known for its formality and seriousness, and its official ount typically
only retweeted thepany’s official activities. Now, it was sharing Catherine’s tweet, who was a
rtively unknown individual in the entertainment industry.
Twitter went wild in an instant. People started digging into Catherine’s background to understand why
she had received so much support from prominent figures.
After Grayson posted his tweet, he happened toe across Branden’s tweet. He gave a bitter smile
and handed his phone to the agent who had been preventing him from tweeting further.
“Even without me, Catherine can still handle it. She is more powerful and impressive than you’ve
imagined.”
The agent nced at Grayson’s phone and was stunned. He was well aware of the Duncans. It was one
of the wealthiest and most powerful families in Zerwick. Their official Twitter ount was now publicly
supporting Catherine. It was evident that they wouldn’t let anything happen to Catherine.
The agent had been trying to prevent Grayson from offending his fans over an artist with little fame. He
thought his approach was correct, but he never expected Catherine to have such a powerful backing.
This time, he had truly miscalcted. The agent hesitated and wanted to exin. He said, “Grayson, I
think…”
Grayson raised his hand to silence the agent and didn’t give him an opportunity to speak. Grayson
smirked at his agent with a face filled with mockery, and his eyes were cold. He stood up with one hand
in his pocket and walked away.
As he watched Grayson’s haughty figure depart, the agent realized that he had indeed offended Grayson
this time.
He knew that he had offended Grayson, but he had no idea how sad Grayson was. Grayson resented his
ownck of strength and realized that he wasn’t as powerful as Branden. Even if Grayson had tweeted, it
wouldn’t have made any difference.
Catherine nced at the Twitter ount of the Duncan Corporation and frowned. She then turned to
Branden beside her and raised an eyebrow in inquiry.
Branden understood her intent. He had originally nned to create his own Twitter ount and retweet
Catherine’s message.
However, he believed that it was too early to make their rtionship public. Catherine was still in school,
and it was better to be cautious.
Time was on their side, and there was no rush.
They could take things slowly.
