Chapter 188 Fabricate Rumor
Anna also paid many people to continuously post negative comments about Isabella.
[Isabella must have gotten her money illegally.]
[Remember? Isabella had many departments shut down Crystal Street's No. 1 store. It's still closed and idle. She must have someone backing her!]
[Exactly! I have a friend in the government who told me Clarence has been paying a lot of attention to Isabella lately, even praising her publicly at important meetings! There must be a secret!]
[Last night, I saw them at a high-end bar. Clarence had his arm around Isabella, drinking. I even wanted to touch Isabella's waist!]
[You don't know the half of it. They were wild. Clarence even spiked Isabella's drink!]
[That's rape. Rich people are indeed sinister.]
Emma scrolled through the posts, her smile growing deeper.
She asked the poster: [Really? You really saw it?]
The poster replied: [Absolutely, it's clear as day.]
Emma felt satisfied and turned to Michael with a smile.
Michael was already furious about the online comments. He wanted to send a legal notice to each person and put them all in jail.
At this moment, Michael's burning anger needed an outlet. He didn't mind destroying the rumor-mongers, but Emma wanted to deal with them herself.
Now that she had gathered the evidence, she smiled and said to Michael, "Michael, you can send the legal notices now. Let's also start a live stream where anyone who doubts me can confront me."
Michael gazed at her confident and radiant demeanor, wanting to pull her into his arms. But he hid his intense love and showed only a faint smile, gently saying, "Okay."
Michael somehow managed to bring those rumormongers to Emma's live broadcast.
This live broadcast attracted a lot of attention. Even before it officially started, it had already garnered the attention of tens of millions of viewers. It was the first time they saw a female victim of rumors came forward to clarify things in a live broadcast.
Some netizens were very supportive of this. They believed that when women face such situations, they should not remain silent but bravely stand up.
However, some people thought Isabella was just seeking attention.
Emma ignored comments from netizens and just quietly waited for the live broadcast to start.
When Emma was still adjusting the equipment, hundreds of thousands of viewers had already flooded into the live room. When Emma and several involved parties appeared on screen, the number of viewers even reached one billion.
Emma pinched her thigh hard, making tears well up in her eyes. But there were too few tears, so she kept wiping her eyes with the back of her hand, trying to make her eyes red and create the effect of crying.
Then she sobbed and asked the man who spread the rumors, Kieran, "Is what you said online about me being raped by Clarence true?"
Kieran expected Isabella to clarify or question him, but he didn't expect her to be so weak.
He hadn't even spoken yet, and Isabella started crying.
Kieran remembered the task given to him by his client, which was to smear Isabella at all costs. So he retorted, "Isabella, have you really forgotten everything that happened that night?"
"Yes, I've forgotten everything." Emma broke down and cried loudly.
The viewers in front of the live broadcast began to sympathize with her and condemned Clarence.
Kieran added, "Once a woman is raped, her life is ruined! You are really pitiful!"
Emma collapsed to her knees, crying hysterically. At this moment, the staff opened another live connection, and on the other side of the camera were Clarence and his team of secretaries.
Kieran's expression changed instantly. He didn't expect the rumors he made up to reach Clarence himself.
But Isabella seemed shameless. She directly asked, "Clarence, Kieran said you raped me a few days ago. Is that true?"
Not only Clarence and his team of secretaries but even the viewers in the live broadcast were stunned.
Emma clearly saw the muscles on the faces of Clarence's secretaries twitching continuously. Clarence also clutched his chest and couldn't lift his head, but he remembered his part wasn't over yet. So he angrily slapped the table, scaring Kieran.
"This is slander. Wait for the court summons!" Clarence clutched his chest, his face reddened with rage.
Kieran was frightened. He pointed at Isabella and accused, "You are really messing around. How can you occupy public resources to talk about these things?"
Emma stared at him with innocent big eyes, "You were the one who initially occupied public resources to discuss these matters. Rape is a criminal case, and the police will definitely investigate it thoroughly."
"Then let them investigate!" Kieran roared. He didn't believe any woman would want to make such a thing public and let everyone know she was raped, even if it was fabricated.
Emma looked at the time on her phone and quietly said, "As you wish."
As soon as she finished speaking, two police officers walked in. They showed their badges and identified themselves, then Kieran collapsed to her knees.
"Who called the police?" the officer asked.
"Me," Emma waved her hand and then pointed to Kieran beside her, "He said I was raped."
The police meticulously inquired about the time, location, and evidence, addressing each aspect one by one. However, Kieran couldn't say anything. He could only continue to angrily accuse Emma, "She is framing me. I never said those things!"
This statement angered the viewers in the live broadcast.
[Isn't that lying? We all heard it!]
[That's right; we have a billion witnesses!]
