Chapter 26 “Besides, Howard Jung wants to cut ties with me and get a divorce as soon as he saw me being attacked by everyone online. My parents have scolded me terribly as well. They wonder why they have a daughter like me since I did something so unethical by plagiarizing someone else’s work. Everyone has abandoned me. There’s no reason for me to be alive anymore!” Lily had a look of desperation on her face. Lily finally finished speaking. She buried her head in her arms and cried out loudly. The reporter hugged her and said, “Don’t be sad, Miss White. This isn’t your fault. You have simply been fooled by Howard Jung. You’re a young girl that has been blinded by love. Your mistakes are understandable. However, regardless of everything, you need to stay strong. You cannot easily give up on your life just because of this!”
After the reporter finished speaking, he let go of Lily and looked at the camera with an emotional expression on his face. “I believe that all the netizens would certainly stand on your side like me after hearing the entire truth. They’ll help you ask for forgiveness from your family and sister. Meanwhile, you should leave scumbags like Howard Jung. Everyone has come across a few scumbags in their life. You’re still so young. You shouldn’t give up on the beauty of life!”
The video then came to an end.
However, Jocelyn instantly understood Lily’s intentions. Lily publicized her attempted suicide online to gain everyone’s sympathy. She had attracted everyone’s attention and stirred up everyone’s sympathy toward her immediately. The netizens online instantly turned into detectives that were the personification of justice.
(I stand with Lily White. She seems genuine and not pretentious. She is not a devious and scheming woman. Besides, you guys should have realized by now that the evidence online only consists of the texts between Jocelyn and Howard. It has nothing to do with Lily. Lily is innocent!]
(That’s right, I think so too. Previously, people were talking about the video in the restaurant. What’s wrong with a couple playing footsie underneath a dining table? Lily didn’t know that Howard Jung was fooling her!) [I think so too. Lily is so pitiful. A scumbag has dumped her after taking advantage of her. Her biological sister and family aren’t willing to forgive her either. How can she continue living that way? If I was her, I’d try to commit suicide after being pushed to the brink of desperation like her!)
(Lily is a really nice person. It’s no wonder she broke down after encountering such a huge blow at such a young age. How can Jocelyn White do this? After all, she’s still Lily’s biological sister. Her sister has simply made a mistake. Does she need to treat her so harshly?] (Yes, even if Lily has plagiarized her work, why didn’t she stand up for herself two years ago? Why can’t she forgive her now? Her sister made a mistake, but she’s forcing her to the brink of desperation through such harsh means instead of trying to give her proper guidance. How
can a sister act like that? I’m really ashamed of her!) 1 (If a stranger knew about the truth, they would withdraw the lawsuit as well. However, they’re even sisters! Jocelyn White is such an evil woman!)
(Lily, you must stay strong. Don’t give up. You have our support. Leave scumbags far away and protect yourself well!)Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
There were a few clear-headed netizens that commented that although there was not sufficient evidence to prove that Lily was lying, they could not be sure that she was telling the truth just from her side of the story alone! 1
It was a pity that everyone liked taking the side of the weaker party. Nobody was willing to calm down and think things through.
Jocelyn looked at the whole act that Lily had put on. She then looked at the anonymous netizens that were supporting her. They thought that they were executing justice by typing a few words on the keyboard. She found it extremely ironic!
Lily was truly brilliant. She had found a gap in the evidence that Jocelyn had presented and blamed everything on Howard Jung. She had succeeded in portraying herself as an innocent victim.
Besides, her failed suicide attempt had won over everyone’s sympathy. She had succeeded in clearing her name in the public eye!
Howard was now infamous for being a scumbag. It would be easy to just blame everything on him!
Jocelyn did not expect Lily to come up with such a brilliant plan after her failed attempt to drug and film a blackmail video of her that she could use to threaten her in the future.
She stared at her computer with a heavy expression on her face. She wondered what she should do next.
If she continued suing Lily, she would be able to win the lawsuit. However, the netizens will continue criticizing her. Just as Jocelyn was pondering upon it, she received a call from Michael. Jocelyn’s gaze flashed as she took her phone and walked outside. As soon as she left, a heated discussion began in the design department. “What do you guys think about the incident online?” “What else can we think? It’s obvious that Jocelyn White’s designs were plagiarized, but everything has changed after Lily White tried
committing suicide!” “That’s right, she’s an innocent plagiarizer that was oblivious to the truth the entire time. She did everything because she was blinded by love. She got tricked by a scumbag and ended up attempting to commit suicide. Even if Jocelyn White wins the lawsuit, it’s no different from losing it! The netizens aren’t even on her side!” “This is what they call ‘winning a battle, but losing the war’!”
“Since there’s no difference regardless of whether she wins or loses the lawsuit, is she going to proceed with the lawsuit?”
“Who knows? You should ask President Moore!”
