Chapter 440 Couldn''t Care Less About the Hype


    "With the way things are going now, doesn''t it indirectly confirm my rtionship with Wayne?" Grace


    said, just as her phone dinged.


    After reading the text message, her eyes darkened.


    Zoey replied, "If you don''t deny it, the public will probably take it as confirmation of your rtionship


    with Wayne. But this might not be a bad thing.


    "Aren''t you trying to get into content creation and creating an ount? Given the heat from this


    incident, you could use it to attract traffic—"


    Before Zoey could finish, Grace immediately rejected the idea, "No."


    Grace''s eyes were fixed on the new text message from Wayne, which was simr to what Zoey had


    suggested.


    Wayne was also a content creator. He understood the need to use traffic from the incident.


    The scandal involving him and Grace had gained unprecedented attention. Although they hadn''t


    interacted much, leveraging this hype for publicity didn''t seem like a bad idea to him.


    Thus, Wayne also intended to neither confirm nor deny the news.


    But Grace was straightforward. "Zoey, help me control the public opinion. In ten minutes, I''ll release


    a statement."


    Upon hearing this, Zoey couldn''t help but tease, "Gracie, are you doing this because you''re worried


    Xander might get the wrong idea?"


    Grace hummed in agreement, confirming it.


    Zoey eximed in surprise, "Gracie, you''re so cool! You''re wasting such a great opportunity to avoid


    a misunderstanding with Xander."


    After all, people online nowadays went to great lengths for attention, using any means necessary.


    There was nothing they wouldn''t do.

    But Grace disdained such tactics. She refused to resort to hype to gain attention and poprity!


    "Gracie, I would do the same if I were you. There''s no need to let baseless rumors affect your


    rtionship." Zoey joked. She clicked around while trying to calm Grace down.


    "Don''t worry, I''ll find out who uploaded the pictures. It shouldn''t be hard to have them delete the


    post."


    But before Zoey could finish, she sensed something was amiss. "Gracie, these photos might not


    have been leaked by ident. It might have been a deliberate move by someone."


    Zoey noticed the photos were all posted by marketing ounts, using tactics and tricks typical of


    these news ounts.


    As a publicist herself, Zoey was all too familiar with these tricks.


    "I think we should investigate who is behind this."


    …


    Jessica and Susan had initially thought that uploading the photos would lead to Grace being


    attacked by brainless fans.


    So they were utterly shocked to see the tide turn. 80% of thements online were rooting for the


    couple.


    Jessica looked at thements, infuriated.


    She mmed her phone and roared, "What''s going on? Are these people blind? We can''t just let


    Grace off the hook!


    "Theseizens must be wrong. Maybe they are paid bots by Grace. Does she think she can


    control public opinion with some money? In her dreams!"


    Seeing this, Susan asked, "What should we do now? The situation has turned outpletely


    different to what we expected. It''s backfiring on us. Moreover, if Benjamin finds out about this ..."


    Susan couldn''t help but shiver, feeling a growing sense of dread.
