Chapter 28


    What kind of pain did she have to experience for her to talk about such things so nonchntly?


    “I won’t let anyone hurt you in the future,” he said as if he was swearing-


    She ruffled the hair on his head and said, “Stop talking like that. Hurry up and eat your food.” As she


    spoke, she lowered her head and continued eating her food.


    There was a glimmer in his eyes, seemingly in deep thoughts.


    Things got blown out of proportion, but Yvette didn’t expect herpany to fail at suppressing the


    trending topic.


    Now, news about her losing her ring and needing sanitary workers to help her find it was spread all


    over the inte.


    The photos that were posted were especially damning. She was dressed brightly and stood next to


    the garbage pile while a few sanitary workers were bending over, helping her find her ring in the


    pile.


    The stark contrast in the image garnered the dissatisfaction of many people. They used her of


    lacking morals.


    Someone evenmented, “She lost her ring, but she made the sanitary workers look for it


    instead. Those sanitary workers. must be tired after cleaning the road for the whole day. Why


    couldn’t she look for it in the garbage piles herself? Does being a celebrity make her superior to


    others? What right does she have to use the city’s resources like that? It’s not like she’s paying the


    sanitary workers! Why must all of them help her find a ring?”


    Even though Yvette’s fans tried to defend their idol, they couldn’t suppress the negativements.


    It was made worse because there were quite a lot of people at the scene at that time. Many of them


    recorded videos and posted them online.


    “Why can’t I get rid of the trending topic? Seeing more and more negativements on the


    Inte, Yvette couldn’t sit still anymore.


    It can’t be helped. Those verified ounts won’t remove the relevant content. The manager paused


    and said hesitantly. Yvette, did you offend someone?”


    “Who could I have offended?” They were in Strico, and she was backed by the Hamilton family.


    Furthermore, she was now the daughter-inw of the Xanthos family, so it should be others who


    were afraid to offend her instead, except…


    Yvette’s body stiffened. Could it be Jonathan?

    Few people had that much influence in Strico to cause those verified ounts and the media to


    refuse to withdraw their trending topics at the risk of offending the Xanthos family and the Hamilton


    family. Jonathan was one such person.


    Was Jonathan really angry with the Xanthos family because of her sister’s death? But in recent


    years, Youngblood Group had not been hostile to the Xanthos family. It had been running business


    deals with the Hamilton family as usual. In fact, Jonathan had even epted the engagement party


    invitation between the Hamilton and Xanthos families a while ago.


    However, Yvette was not so sure anymore as she recalled the incident with the withdrawal of the


    projection advertising.


    Just one dayter, the police released their investigation result. Combined with a series of


    surveince camera records, it was confirmed that Yvette didn’t actually lose the ring on that day.


    When Yvette went out, the surveince camera along the way showed that she was only wearing a


    ring on her pinky. There were no other rings except for that. When Yvette asked the sanitary worker


    to look for a ring on the grounds that it had fallen off, that same ring was still on Yvette’s pinky.


    Suddenly, Yvette’s reputation on the inte waspletely ruined. Those fans who had defended


    her were unable to help her recover from this situation.


    They couldn’t have done anything else since the police had already issued a detailed investigation


    report.


    Many fans even dered online that they were going to unfollow Yvette and even wanted to be a


    hater instead.


    Meanwhile, some of Yvette’s loyal fans imed that it was unbelievable and was suspecting that


    something had gone wrong with the investigation.


    Yvette was also dumbfounded by the oue. To think that the police actually issued an


    investigation report, and she only learned about it at the same time as otherizens.


    Yvette was trembling all over. How could something like this happen to her?


    Was the image and career that she hail worked so hard to build up over the years going to be


    destroyed because of this?


    But there were worse things awaiting her. Carlos, Jonathan’s personal assistant in Youngblood


    Group, directly called the Hamilton family and the Xanthos family to inform them that Jonathan


    would not be attending the engagement party of the two families.


    This naturally reminded people of the current scandal revolving around Yvette.


    Rosalie was surprised after seeing the police investigation report. She didn’t expect it toe out


    so fast. Moreover, the Hamilton family and the Xanthos family didn’t manage to suppress the news.


    Instead, they seemed to be getting more and more out of hand.


    “Yvette is too horrible. She made so many of our staff find her ring for her that day, but it turns out


    that she didn’t lose it at all!” Everyone in the Ministry of the Environment and Sanitation


    Administration was also talking about this matter.


    “It’s no wonder so many people are rebuking her online”


    “She’s quite a strange one. Why would a celebrity like her im to have lost her ring and made us


    look for it?’ someone


    asked out of confusion.


    “She just had nothing better to do.”


    Yulissa tugged at Rosalie and asked, “Rosalie, I saw Yvette talk with you for a long time that day.


    Do you know her?”


    Queenie, who was passing by, heard this and mocked, “Yulissa, are you kidding? It’s possible that


    Rosalie knows who Yvette is, but it’s impossible that Yvette knows Rosalie! Yvette is a prominent


    youngdy, after all


    “But I saw Yvette talking to Rosalie that day”


    Queenie said as if she had caught the culprit. ‘Is it because Rosalie offended Yvette that she


    deliberately imed to have lost her ring? Wow, Rosalie, so you’re the one who made everyone


    plow through piles of garbage.”


    Because Lucas loved Rosalie, so Queenie had always targeted her. Even Yulissa was surprised


    that Queenie would me this incident on Rosalie.


    Rosalie nced at Queenie and said, “Wow. Rather than ming the deceiver, it seems you’re


    ming the deceiver’s victim as the cause of the deception instead. Your sense of morality is


    indeed quite something”


    Queenie’s face suddenly turned red. She could not retort to Rosalie’s statement, so she red at


    Rosalie and walked away hatefully.


    In the Youngblood residence, Yvette and Howard stood nervously in the hall waiting for Jonathan.


    “Why did you get into this kind of trouble? Rosalie is just a sanitary worker now, and she’s no match


    for you anymore. Why must you pick a fight with her?” Howard lectured his daughter.


    “It’s her fault that Mnie died! If it weren’t for her, Jonathan wouldn’t have been angry with the


    Xanthos family. Even the projection advertising that Zachary had made was all withdrawn!” Yvette


    huffed angrily.


    Howard’s face was a mix ofplicated expressions. His lips moved slightly but ended up saying


    nothing.
