Chapter 1315 We''ll Sink Or Swim Together


    Like a rubber band stretched to its limit, public sentiment rebounded forcefully when pulled too far.


    The Inte users grew increasingly discontent with the vitriolic tirades of the online trolls. Their


    relentless, calcted attacks on J had left many unable to stomach any more.


    Through meticulous probing, the curious observers uncovered a shocking truth: most of the trolls


    berating J were mere mercenaries, paid to tarnish her digital reputation.


    This revtion sparked a wildfire of anger, causing these hired digital saboteurs to face the fierce


    retribution of the online crowd.


    Armed with diligence and a righteous indignation, the users unmasked these professional trolls,


    exposing their social media profiles and personal photographs. Now, they found themselves on the


    receiving end of public scorn, reviled even by passersby on the street.


    While these trolls had sullied the names of countless celebrities in the past, they had never been on


    the receiving end of such a bacsh. In their distress, they sought to deflect the me onto Vivi.


    The de facto leader of the trolls confronted Vivi, his words sharp and unyielding. "You stirred up this


    storm, Vivi. Being on the payroll doesn''t mean we''ll be your scapegoats. It''s high time you step up


    and face the music."


    Vivi''s voice wavered with anxiety. "I''ve filled your pockets. You can''t abandon me now. If you dare


    leave me to the wolves, I''ll drag you down with me.


    We''ll sink or swim together."


    The troll leader merely scoffed at her threat, countering, "Dream on if you think you can pull us into


    the abyss with you. You better brace yourself for the onught of online fury, not to mention the


    wrath of the White family and the Larson Group." With that, he hung up, leaving Vivi to stew in her


    own dread.


    Vivi crumpled to the floor in despair, the phone slipping from her grasp.


    She could never have imagined that things would end up like this.


    She had masterminded online smear campaigns, stirred up controversies, and thrown other


    influencers under the bus, all without ever being unmasked. In fact, these machinations had only


    served to amplify her digital following and influence, elevating her to Inte stardom and


    enhancing her financial and societal standing.


    This emboldened her to hire trolls and take aim at J, believing her actions would remain


    shrouded in the shadows of the inte. She had oftenunched blistering attacks on her rivals, yet


    she had always managed to escape unscathed.


    But thew of averages eventually caught up with her. Those who sow the wind will reap the


    whirlwind.


    Now, the public outcry was spiraling out of control, and the digital crowd was baying for blood. They


    wouldn''t rest until the puppeteer pulling the strings was unmasked.


    Unwilling to take the fall, the trolls sought to shift the me onto Vivi, hoping to escape the public''s


    wrath.


    Vivi, despite her dubious past, had always tread lightly around J in the public eye. She was well


    aware that she was no match for thebined might of the White family and the Larson Group


    backing J.


    Desperate to shield herself from detection, Vivi steeled herself and redialed the troll leader''s


    number. "We''ve been in cahoots for a while, let''s not sour things over a minor hup. I have a n


    to defuse this situation. Pin the me on Mandy. She has enough clout to stand up to J. Once


    the dust settles, I''ll give you a hefty payoff and we''ll call it a day."

    Vivi found the prospect of crossing Mandy daunting, but the powerhouses supporting J were far


    more intimidating.


    Moreover, Mandy had a bone to pick with J, and it was her design that had sparked criticism of


    J. Making Mandy the scapegoat seemed like the perfect out.


    "Consider it done," the trolls assented without hesitation. With a new target to bear the brunt and a


    cash incentive, why would they refuse?

    Soon, the trolls'' usations set the Inte aze, subjecting Mandy to a barrage of online vitriol.


    Upon learning of her predicament, Mandy swiftly issued an online statement. "I would never stoop


    to such disgraceful tactics. If I had ndered J, may misfortune befall me, such as a fatal


    ident, or losing my limbs, rendering me incapable of designing."


    Despite Mandy''s fervent denials, the wrathful users turned a deaf ear. They swarmed her social


    media, unleashing a torrent of insults and usations.


    This digital maelstrom didn''t escape Lexi''s notice.


    She presented her boss with the troll post using Mandy of smearing J. With a dismissive


    snort, she remarked, "Mandy had iting! She deserves to be called out online. She targeted you


    deliberatelyst time, and now she''s hired trolls to tarnish your reputation. She''s beyond contempt!"


    As J watched the users continue their digital onught against Mandy, she rubbed her chin


    contemtively. "I don''t believe Mandy is behind this."


    Lexi, taken aback by J''s assertion, sought rification. "Why would you think that? The trolls


    have squarely ced the me on her."


    In her characteristic calm demeanor, J replied, "While Mandy can be headstrong and conceited,


    she''s fundamentally a straight shooter. She''s not one to resort to backstabbing."
