Chapter 176 The True Face of Scarlett
Scarlett stole the data from Bella's phone through Bernard and secretly copied it to her phone.
Then she personally edited the video, pixelating her grandfather's face, and used special means to hack the blogger's Twitter account to accuse Katherine of her 'misdeeds,' causing a huge uproar online.
As for the real influencer, she was so scared by Bernard that she ran back to her hometown and didn't dare to go online!
Bernard would never let go of those who offended his family easily, no matter who they were. But he was always indifferent to outsiders, so even if he saw that the scandal about Katherine was false, Bernard wouldn't bother with it.
As for her grandfather, he was a famous scientist, spending every day in the lab researching things. He wouldn't care about those online matters at all.
Recently, due to an experiment, her grandfather's eyes were injured by harmful gases and haven't healed yet. He wouldn't notice anything at all!
However, Scarlett still felt that the current effect was far from satisfying. The hype had already died down, and it was obvious that Alex had intervened to help Katherine!
Realizing this, Scarlett became even more jealous. What did Katherine do to deserve Alex's help?
Scarlett's eyes shifted slightly as she thought of another idea. She picked up her phone, logged into Twitter using a secondary account, and spread a scandalous rumor about Katherine.
Soon, netizens began to retweet and comment.
[That scammer once bullied her classmates; she looks so petite but is capable of all sorts of evil, even bullying!]
[Bullies deserve the worst!]
[Her private life is so chaotic. She even had an abortion? She really deserves her bad karma!]
[She sleeps with different men every day, so disgusting.]
Those agitated netizens didn't care about the truth; they just wanted to vent their anger online. So Scarlett's tweet quickly went viral, with retweets increasing rapidly.
Seeing those malicious comments cursing Katherine online, Scarlett's lips curved into a smile, feeling delighted.
Afterward, she dialed Alex's sister Fiona's number with clear intention.
The phone rang for a while before it was answered. Fiona's voice sounded groggy. "Hello? Who is it?"
Fiona was currently abroad, and it was four in the morning there.
Scarlett knew this, but she still made the call. "This is Scarlett. Fiona, sorry to wake you up."
Recognizing Scarlett's voice, Fiona's face lit up with a smile. Her tone instantly shifted to one of warmth and affection.
Fiona asked, "Scarlett, it's you! I heard you come back, but unfortunately, I'm abroad with grandma taking care of grandpa, so I couldn't come to see you!"
Scarlett smiled gently and said, "It's okay. We can hang out when you get back!"
Fiona responded, "Sure! By the way, Scarlett, why did you call me at this moment? Is there something you need?"
Scarlett feigned hesitation and replied, "It's nothing much! I bought you a gift in Korvania but found out you weren't in Janetrick when I got back, so I wanted to ask for your address so I could send it to you."
Fiona was touched and then answered, "Scarlett, you're so considerate, even getting me a gift! I wish you were my sister-in-law! Then, I wouldn't have been stuck in the detention center for over ten days, and now I'm being sent abroad by grandma for discipline. I don't even have personal freedom anymore!"
Scarlett pretended to be surprised and inquired, "What happened? Scarlett, how did you end up in a detention center?"
Thinking about it made Fiona furious. "It's all because of that Katherine, that contry girl married to my brother! That woman is a snake in the grass!"
Scarlett sighed sympathetically and said, "Oh! Speaking of which, Sophie was also detained today! I'm really upset and can't get her out, so I wanted to talk to you to vent my frustration."
Fiona was shocked and asked, "What? Sophie was detained, too? What happened!"
Scarlett hesitated, then, with a sigh, gave in to Fiona's persistent questioning. She carefully selected the details of the incident, painting a picture that cast her in the most favorable light.
After listening to Scarlett's account, Fiona was outraged. "Damn! It's Katherine again! She must have framed Sophie! My brother married a jinx!"
Achieving her desired effect, Scarlett then 'cautiously' asked, "By the way, Fiona, you haven't been online today, have you?"
Fiona replied, "No, I haven't! I've been browsing this country's websites lately. What's going on online?"
Scarlett advised, "Fiona, make sure grandpa and grandma don't see the Janetrick internet, or I'm afraid they might get sick from anger."
Fiona asked, "What's going on? Did something happen online related to our Melville family?"
Scarlett advised, "Fiona, you shouldn't look either. Please, don't look!"
Unable to resist Scarlett's half-revealed statements, Fiona had already opened her tablet to check and was furious after seeing it!
Fiona shouted, "That shameless bitch! If it's exposed that she's our Melville family's daughter-in-law, won't our family's reputation be ruined by her? No way! I have to tell Grandpa and Grandma now and have them urge my brother to divorce Katherine immediately!"
Scarlett pretended to dissuade her. "Fiona, don't do that, it's not good."
Fiona was already getting dressed. "Scarlett, don't worry about this! Our Melville family will never tolerate such a woman disgracing our family!"
With that, she hung up hurriedly.
Hearing the busy tone on the other end, Scarlett laughed sinisterly. It seemed everything was going smoothly!
Returning to Melville Manor, Katherine went straight upstairs, eager to wash off the dried and sticky cola on her body.
Alex followed her upstairs, but as soon as he stepped into the room, Katherine's small hands mercilessly pushed him out, trying to shut him outside the door!
Alex raised his hand to block the door, preventing her from closing it. He raised an eyebrow and looked at Katherine with dissatisfaction. "Didn't you agree to get along? Why don't you let me in now?"
