Chapter 300 Clarification
Three days later, an article titled "The Elsa You Don't Know" emerged out of nowhere and swept the news headlines.
[I don't want to defend Elsa or discuss her relationship status because many things are only clear to those involved. But I can talk about some verifiable things Elsa has done.]
The person who wrote this article claimed to have worked with Elsa and wrote this at the beginning.
[After her mother Leslie passed away, Elsa returned home to save her brother Vincent, who had congenital heart disease, by selling alcohol to fund his heart transplant. This is a tragic but inspiring story.
But what I want to talk about is what Elsa did after marrying Luke. There are two things she did. First, she built a $120 million highway for a impoverished county. Second, she reported a real estate company for failing fire safety standards, causing the entire project to restart, which to some extent protected people's lives and property.]
This person even posted a thank-you letter from a government department on the public network system.
[Instead of judging a woman based on her relationships, can't we broaden our perspective and consider her achievements as an individual and a true member of society?
If marrying into a wealthy family is seen as a stain on Elsa's life and worth condemning, then what about these things she has accomplished? Do they not deserve any reward?
Moreover, there is doubt about Elsa's unscrupulous means to marry into the Taylor family. After all, she left the marriage with nothing.]
Out of ten news headlines, Elsa occupied three: #Elsa's Accomplishment, #Elsa And Road Construction, and #Elsa Robbing the Rich to Help the Poor".
These two were barely understandable to netizens, but the third was simply outrageous.
Less than 20 minutes after the headlines were posted, a well-known domestic feminist blogger shared them with a tweet.
[When will society stop using slut-shaming to bind a beautiful woman, allowing her to freely blossom and realize her value? Only then will this society be hopeful.]
This writer was highly respected and had fought for gender equality for decades. In recent years, she had regained popularity with the development of the internet, amassing millions of female followers.
Her words directly accused netizens who criticized Elsa's chaotic love life, significantly influencing public opinion.
[Exactly, Elsa is beautiful and excellent. Should she be scolded just because many people like her?]
[Actually, the so-called "seducing" Luke isn't that serious. Luke himself said it was voluntary.]
[Without knowing the full story, I won't comment. But if the road in my impoverished county is completed, it will be much easier for us to sell our goods. Thank you, Elsa.]
[Did Elsa marry into the wealthy family to help the poor?]
[I bought a house in that community! I know about the fire safety rework. I didn't expect it was Elsa who reported it.]
Elsa looked at the screen full of praise and almost forgot that she had been accused a few days ago.
Netizens were too easily incited and too easily used.
Of course, she didn't have such a former colleague who worked with her. This was obviously a plan to clear her name. She could easily guess that the planner was Luke because the media under Terry's control were the most active in sharing it.
Luke's explanations were useless. If he stood up and repeatedly said that the Taylor Group's PR department was lying, it would inevitably affect the Taylor Group's future credibility.
Now he chose to downplay the matter and emphasize Elsa's personal qualities, taking an unconventional approach, which turned out to be effective. This move was the right one.
"Luke isn't that heartless after all. He still remembers to clear your name," Chloe said.
"I was smeared with false accusations and then cleared with things I didn't do. I got scolded for two days, then was praised to this point. Indeed, the majority of netizens lack independent thinking." Elsa found this magical realization both sad and laughable.
Luke messaged her privately: [I promised I would give you an explanation. For now, this is just a temporary measure. I will prove your innocence and make my mother apologize. As for the marriage contract, I will also let the public know that you were originally my rightful wife.]
She replied: [No need, this is enough.]
She didn't rely on netizens for a living. Whether they liked or hated her didn't matter. As long as it didn't affect her real life, it was fine. The explaination of the marriage contract was unnecessary.
When Luke wanted to say something more, he found himself blocked again.
