Chapter 97 Resolving Public Opinion
Not far away, an angry voice rang out. Kittie pushed the wheelchair over, with Evans sitting in it, his anger palpable.
Pearl was taken aback. "Dad, how did you come over here?"
Olivia thought that as long as she found a breakthrough from Pearl, everything would be fine, but she didn't expect Evans to come over.
The moment she saw Evans, her face turned pale. "Evans."
Evans looked at her seriously. "How can I not come when you bully my daughter like this,Olivia? I always thought you were a bit stingy but not bad at heart. I never expected you to be this heartless, criticizing my daughter in front of the media. How could you be so cruel?"
"Evans...it's not..."Olivia said, "I didn't criticize her, I just said that Pearl lacked respect for me!"
Evans frowned, not wanting to hear any of her explanations.
They completely fell out. "What does Pearl's reputation mean to you? It's just a tool for your own benefit! Since you want everyone to know, then let them know how many bad things your family has done!"
Olivia now realized her fear. She cried and pleaded, "Evans, Evans, please don't do this. We are family. Your brother is in danger. How could you be so heartless?"
Kittie had enough of her pretending to be pitiful. "This is the price you should pay. Say anything you want, but don't defame my daughter!"
The public's opinion changed again.
Olivia's family were like blood-sucking leeches, constantly draining from them.
As the brother, Evans did his best to help them through their difficulties, but received no gratitude in return. In the end, they even spread rumors about his daughter.
Netizens were completely shocked.
[Damn it, there's even a twist.]
[These two shameless people are the ones who received benefits and then cursed at others. I can't believe I was fooled by these two women. They deserve to die!]
[Me too, I thought they were weak, but they were only pretending. I cursed at them just now. I hope it all backfires on them! Let's quickly catch them and look at them with disgust!]
S[he is still a university student. She can lie at such a young age, I wonder what she will do in society. What school is she from? Just put her on the blacklist and never let her find a job!]
[Pearl is so pitiful, with so many comments are cursing at her. Yet she can still bravely stand up. I truly admire her courage. If it were me, I would definitely collapse. Thankfully, I didn't curse at her. I hope good people have a peaceful life!]
[She clearly did a good thing, but got defamed like this, being unfairly cursed at. Those who cursed her should apologize.]
[We don't know the details, I have no comment!]
The public opinion took a turn, andOlivia and Isabelle received severe criticism.
Pearl never shows mercy in her actions. After hanging up the phone, she said to them, "I have already called the police. They will be coming soon!"
Olivia suddenly panicked. She didn't expect things to escalate to this point. She cried and begged, "Pearl, Pearl, please don't do this. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said those things in public. I beg you, don't call the police and arrest us!"
Pearl did not believe that she truly regretted it. It was only when the knife was held to her throat that she showed a hint of remorse. "If you had thought about this outcome earlier, why didn't you consider it when you came? Why didn't you think about the public opinion I would face? You never thought about any of this, so don't blame me for being heartless!"
"We didn't think about that. We just came to plead with you, to beg Oscar. Your uncle has no other options, he needs money. I cheekily came here, but... yes, someone instigated it!"Olivia nearly forgot about this matter. "When we came, we encountered a woman. She said I shouldn't have come, that I wouldn't be able to see you. And because you treated me so coldly, I believed her and followed her request to tarnish your reputation. It wasn't what I truly wanted!"
Pearl had also suspected this, so she asked, "Who is it?"
Olivia was stunned. "I don't know her name. I didn't have time to ask for her name. She was a young girl. I was so foolish to believe a stranger's words!"
She cried even harder because she realized she had been deceived.
Meanwhile, Isabelle couldn't bear the attacks from netizens. Her face turned pale as she cried, "What should I do? I'm completely finished. I won't be able to do my internship. No company will want me. Pearl, Pearl, please help me clarify this. I'm not so malicious. How will I ever face people, how will I work?"
They were all begging Pearl.
"Pearl, I'm begging you. Not for my sake, but for your sister's sake. I apologize to you!"Olivia knew how serious this was, but for her daughter's sake, she had to plead with Pearl.
Pearl remained silent, knowing that being kind to others meant being cruel to herself.
Kittie took hold of them and said, "Don't apologize, as if we bullied you. You made a mistake and now you have to face the consequences!"
Seraphina, amidst the crowd, saw the situation changing. Pearl resolved their dilemma. Her beautiful face completely twisted.
She never expected Pearl's luck to be this good.
This could be turned around!
Seraphina didn't want to be caught, so she quickly retreated from the crowd.
The journalist also realized that she had spoken too harshly and offended Pearl because the facts were not as she had presented. So she said, "Ms. Harris, I apologize for what happened earlier. I didn't understand the facts, but I have already aired the story. The slander you faced was too much. I believe they have learned their lesson!"
The journalist continued, "Regarding your complaint against me..."
Pearl didn't want to engage with her.
Just then, the police arrived and wanted to take them to the police station for questioning.
"Ms. Harris, Ms. Harris." The journalist chased after Pearl, who didn't want any trouble, otherwise her credibility as a journalist would be compromised, and everything she reported in the future would be questioned.
The TV station would also no longer value her.
Pearl walked toward the crowd that was being surrounded by security guards.
They all held eggs and vegetable leaves, all of the same variety. Little did they know that Pearl was a formidable character, decisive and never willing to be mistreated. They thought that throwing a few vegetable leaves and eggs would be the end of it. "Someone hired us to throw these things, we don't know the law, we don't know anything!" They quickly distanced themselves.
Pearl asked, "Who hired you?"
"It was a woman, young, she said she would give us each 20 dollars if we threw the eggs," they replied.
Pearl frowned, another woman. It was very likely the same person. Who had she recently offended? She hadn't offended anyone! There were many people on the street. She was sure that person would be nearby, watching the commotion. She scanned the crowd and suddenly stopped in her tracks, her expression turning grim.
