Chapter 65 Who Knew It?
Eugene was feeling down.
Brenda wasn't happy in Kevin's arms either.
From what Eugene said, he seemed eager to fix things with Elizabeth.
'Does he still like Elizabeth?' Brenda wondered.
"No way," she thought. "Eugene probably just said that to calm Elizabeth down."
Online, Richard and Ashley's PR team stirred the pot.
They claimed Elizabeth was just trying to shift blame, saying Eugene and Brenda were innocent and Elizabeth was framing Brenda out of dislike.
Richard even posted on his verified account:
[@the Clark Entertainment Company Gold Agent - Richard: I did ask Eugene to look after Brenda before the reality show, but I didn't expect it to cause issues with Elizabeth. My bad, I'll explain to her. Don't misunderstand.]
With both teams hiring people to stir things up, many started to believe them.
Eugene's fans turned on Elizabeth, saying she was taking her dislike for Brenda out on Eugene, making him look bad.
Some mocked Elizabeth, calling her petty and insecure, suggesting the breakup was just for attention and to cling to Eugene.
This public opinion shift favored Eugene and Brenda, making Elizabeth the target of scorn again.
Raymond's team, seeing this, marveled at Elizabeth's strategy.
After downloading the photos, they coordinated with the hired and a celebrity known for exposing scandals.
They were ready to act, but Elizabeth told them to wait until Eugene and Brenda's PR team fully framed her.
Then, they would release the evidence for maximum impact.
When the time was right, they started dropping the evidence.
First, the celebrityupdated two posts:
[@Entertainment Gossip First: Is Eugene really just looking after Brenda because a childhood friend asked? I don't buy it.]
[@Entertainment Gossip First: Don't ask why I didn't buy it; I'm about to drop the photos.]
They uploaded a total of nine photos, each one painting a clear picture of Brenda and Eugene's suspicious rendezvous.
The initial batch showcased the duo alone in various settings, donning four different outfits, hinting at repeated encounters. But it was the final trio of snapshots that truly spoke volumes.
In the first, Brenda was seen nestled up against Eugene, their proximity raising eyebrows. The next captured them sharing a gleeful moment over a phone, their camaraderie unmistakable. And in the last striking image, Brenda's lips appeared dangerously close to Eugene's ear, evoking an undeniable intimacy that left little to the imagination.
The moment these revealing photos hit the internet, the response was immediate and overwhelming. The click count skyrocketed as viewers pored over the incriminating evidence, setting off a digital storm of speculation and intrigue.
"Eugene's Affair with Brenda Confirmed" hit the headlines.
Eugene's fans, who had just calmed down, were now furious with Brenda.
The onlookers were shocked by the twist.
[Can't keep up with today's nonstop news cycle!]
[Eugene just clarified, and now he's been caught out.]
[Says he was just looking out for Brenda. Is this really how he rolls?]
[They look way too cozy in private. Brenda's all over Eugene. Is this relationship really that 'pure'?]
[Brenda's kissing Eugene's ear in private and hugging Kevin in public.]
[Brenda's pure image is toast. She seems to be cozy with multiple guys!]
[Does Brenda's idea of a 'brother' differ from ours?]
[Just declared Eugene is like a brother to her. Is she this close with her real brother too?]
[Are they all lovers?]
[Elizabeth's in a tough spot. Her brother Kevin and ex Eugene both hooked up with Brenda. No wonder she got framed.]
The internet was full of ridicule.
Ashley and Richard were stunned.
They quickly had the tech team verify the photos.
The photos were real, not edited.
They were losing it.
They had had no idea Eugene and Brenda had so much private contact.
Judging by the photos, their relationship was very close.
Ashley wanted to slap Brenda. Eugene, usually so calm, had caused such a mess this time. Their efforts to clear things up were wasted and even helped Elizabeth. With these constant reversals, people would trust Eugene less, causing a crisis.
Ashley, in Richard's office, asked, "What now? Our PR efforts backfired and helped Elizabeth."
She continued, "Didn't you say Elizabeth was banned from further development after leaving Clark Entertainment? But she clearly has a PR team! Who's behind her? This seems planned. We cleared things up, and then they dropped the photos, like they were waiting."
Richard looked grim.
This was the first time he felt so cornered, and it was by his own sister, Elizabeth.
He gritted his teeth. "I underestimated her."
He just wanted Elizabeth to come back, admit her mistakes, and stop competing with Brenda.
He'd then help her as her brother, giving her resources and clearing her name.
He didn't care about her leaving Clark Group because he thought she'd eventually come back.
Now, it felt like she slapped him in the face.
He also wanted to know where Elizabeth's PR team and these photos came from.
But now wasn't the time to dig into that.
He thought for a moment and said, "Hire people to say the photos were taken to mislead. Claim it wasn't just the two of them; I was there with Brenda and Eugene for dinner. I was present the whole time."
This was the only way to clarify.
