Chapter 274
After all, Christopher had no one to rely on except La. On the other hand, Zavier and Zaiden had
worked at Sce Corporation for over 40 years. Hence, their connections within thepany were
wide and deep. In the past, with the presence of Kendrick, the two parties could maintain a bnce,
but now this bnce had been broken.
Within thepany, those who had chosen a side had long made their choice. Those who hadn’t
chosen a side were probably still on the lookout. One could say that Christopher was surrounded by
wolves.
Since they could hurt Zachary and Kendrick, they could hurt Christopher too.
No one could tell what would happen next.
Christopher answered, “I know, Joyce.”
Joyce nodded and was about to leave. She halted and looked at Christopher again. “Are you publicly
announcing your brother’s medical treatment in Nardor today?”
Christopher only hummed in reply.
Although Sce Corporation was not a listedpany and could not exin everything to the public,
many of its projects involved many enterprises and even government departments. That had to be
exined to them.
But once Kendrick’s ident was made public, one could imagine the sheer amount of opinions on the
matter.
Joyce looked at Christopher worriedly and said, “Chris, you have to be mentally prepared. The public
opinion may not be so easy to deal with this time.”
Christopher replied, “Don’t worry. I can handle it.”
He had already informed the Public Rtions Department and contacted the best public rtions team
in the industry. Once the news of Kendrick’s ident was made public, he would control the direction
of public opinion and minimize the impact.
However, he knew that public opinion was the most uncontroble thing.
Especially now that Kendrick was incapacitated, other enterprises would view it as a great opportunity
for them and would not let the chaos end in a hurry. Moreover, the internal administration of Sce
Corporation was in disunity, and they wouldn’t let Christopher be the Acting Chairman that easily.
Therefore, as soon as the news of Kendrick’s ident became public, a financial influencer posted an
article about the family behind Sce Corporation-the Sce family who founded thepany more
than 200 years ago and continued up until Christopher’s current situation.
The article revealed information about every chairperson of Sce Corporation.
The financial influencer concluded that only the main house’s eldest son was qualified to take over
Sce Corporation. Then the article continued with some of thepany’s achievements during its
heyday and details of that era’s prominent family, the Sce family.
These days, people were already curious about the inner workings of a wealthy family, and they were
even more curious about the Sce family now.
Therefore, as soon as the article was published, it immediately attracted manyizens who liked
gossip to join the discussion. At first, they treated it like a joke. After all, it was none of their business.
But soon, someone shared the article and left an insidiousment, using a way of speaking that
seemed like they were an insider in the circle. Thement started by mentioning the ex-chairperson
and the current chairperson of Sce Corporation, who had been sessively involved in an ident.
Then, thement ended in an envious tone, where thementer said Christopher was too lucky.
The seemingly ordinaryment aroused the suspicion of manyizens. Soon, thement was
viewed so many times that it became a trending topic.
The subsequentments made by thementers changed from a joking tone to a darker one as
the situation escted to infighting between brothers in a rich and powerful family. They made
conspiracy theories about whether Christopher was the one who hurt his father and brother to take
over thepany.
Then someone began to dig up Christopher’s past. As a student, Christopher had disciplinary
problems, as he fought with others and bullied his ssmates. Later, he was involved in debauchery
and became an irresponsible yboy. He abandoned his girlfriend, who had been with him for many
years, and cheated with a third party. He got her pregnant, and she had his child.
All of his past misdeeds were making the public angry.
Then, theizens figured out the third party who was involved in Christopher’s rtionship with his
girlfriend of many years+Yuliana.
They dug up everything about Yuliana, from her birth, her parents, to her ex-husband and their divorce.
Theizens maliciously guessed that Yuliana’s divorce was because she cheated on her husband
with Christopher during her marriage.

Moreover, Yuliana’s father made people even angrier.
Public opinion on the inte had gone entirely out of control. The online verbal attacks against
Christopher and Yuliana were nasty. They cursed them with words like “a bitch and a son of a bitch is a
pair made for each other” and “scummy adulterous couple.” Some even cursed their newborn child.
For three days in a row, the online verbal attacks did not stop.
“That’s too much!” Looking at the online abuse, Xandria was so angry that she
almost cried. “It was Annabelle who seduced Harry first. Why would they call you a mistress and a
bitch? Shouldn’t the bitch be Annabelle?”
After seeing the abuse online, Xandria specifically went to the Sce residence to apany Yuliana.
Yuliana neverpeted with others for anything. Even if Yuliana had someone like Damian for a father,
she did not use privileges. She had been relying on her achievements and had moved step by step
any of her to get where she was right now.
Yuliana was in a daze these days because she had not been subjected to such abuse before.
Especially when she saw how they cursed Rowan on the Inte, she had the urge to retort for the first
time. However, when she picked up her phone and typed a few lines, she suddenly calmed down and
stopped.
“It’s useless to say anything in response. After all, they’ll continue their abuse, and they can even do it
more fiercely,” Yuliana reasoned inwardly.
One was powerless against public opinion. Once people set their minds on a certain perspective, it was
hard to sway them. Even if they find out they were wrong after some time had passed, they would be
ashamed to admit it. Instead, they would distort the truth to prove that they were right.
Yuliana said, “Christopher called for thepany to collect evidence. When things cool down a little,
he will sue severalizens.”
Legal means may not bepletely effective for cyber violence, but at least they could deter it.
Xandria replied, “Yuliana, don’t worry. I’ll use an alternate ount to have a go at them. Just watch
while I roast these online trolls!”
So, Xandria created an alternate ount before fighting with theizens. Unfortunately, Xandria did
not be happier after she joined the fight. Instead, she became increasingly angrier, and rage
surged through her entire body.
From the get-go, theseizens pointed out that Xandria’s ount was, in fact, Yuliana’s alternate
ount. Not only did they attack Xandria more fiercely, but they also kept ridiculing her. She had
identally made a typo, and theizens said she was illiterate and uneducated due to that mistake.
Xandria was so angry that her heart pounded intensely in her chest. Finally, she flung her phone away.
“Why are these online trolls so unreasonable?” Xandria was so angry that she was. about to cry.
“Yuliana, you did nothing wrong. Why did you get scolded the most in the end?”
Seeing Xandria like this, Yuliana’s eyes were also wet. Yuliana turned around and held back her tears.
“Yeah. Why did I get the most scolding in the end?” Yuliana wondered despairingly.
Yuliana couldn’t figure it out, but there were too many things in the world that couldn’t be figured out.
Xandria left the Sce Residence at night.
After she left, Joyce came over and talked to Yuliana for a while. The former advised thetter not to
read thements of the recent matter on the inte, lest thetter feel upset. The Public Rtions
Department of Sce Corporation was already trying to remove the trending topic, block rted topics,
and suspend the ounts of some online trolls.
