Chapter 841 Those Years
The Beaumont family moved quickly on this side.
Stella was relatively unknown domestically.
However, overseas, due to Rebecca's actions, she appeared in several outrageous headlines.
And because of her identity as the illegitimate daughter of a tycoon, quite a few people were aware of her.
When the news spread like wildfire, overseas onlookers were greatly shocked.
Initially, everyone just watched the news, but as the online buzz grew.
Soon, someone online posted some solid evidence, including the recording of Stella confronting Rebecca.
Later, a photographer who had followed Stella came forward to apologize: [I was paid a large sum of money back then to follow Stella for about three to four years. She is truly a very kind person, often feeding and taking care of stray animals. But I took the employer's money and, for the employer's benefit, shot many staged intimate photos of her with men, some of whom Stella didn't even know. But because her private life is very simple, with few friends, and her boyfriend has been the same one for over a decade, and very few friends. In order to create the effect of her promiscuity that the employer needed, I had no choice but to use staged photos of her with strangers to make up the numbers.]
The photographer wrote a lengthy post.
In it, he mentioned several things that deeply moved Stella, such as when her wallet was stolen while backpacking, leaving her with only a piece of bread. While waiting for rescue in the wilderness, she even shared half of her bread with a homeless child. For example, Stella's beloved cat passed away after many years. She gave the kitten a heartfelt funeral and burial and made a substantial donation to charity in the kitten's name.
Under this, the photographer emphasized, 'Because I have been following her for a long time, I have a rough idea of her financial situation. That donation almost depleted all her money! She is truly a kind-hearted girl.'
He also mentioned Stella's boyfriend of over a decade.
The photographer: [Her boyfriend is also a scion of a tycoon, but unfortunately, he seemed to believe the scandals I fabricated and has been on and off with her.]
Below this, he attached some cherished photos: [These photos were all taken after they broke up, showing Stella in tears of sadness.]
In several photos, one was taken at the airport.
Stella looked pale, half of her face hidden in her scarf, without any luggage.
She sat curled up in a corner chair at the airport.
She gazed at the sunset outside the window, tears rolling down her cheeks.
She exuded a sense of complete brokenness.
The photographer also commented: [That tycoon is not a suitable match for her. In the midst of their on-off relationship, he had many beautiful girlfriends, including some well-known supermodels. Stella was not happy by his side.]
This post garnered significant attention overseas.
In the eyes of the public, Stella was seen as a perfect victim.
She was beautiful and affectionate but always bullied and let down. Yet, from her social media accounts, people can sense that she was an optimistic person, especially in her latest post.
She and her husband, witnessed by family and friends, joyfully kissed in beautiful wedding attire.
There were comments below.
Unknown: [After seeing so many photos of Miss White, it feels like only in this one, Miss White is genuinely happy.]
Unknown: [I just read some accounts. Miss White and her tycoon ex-boyfriend were on and off for sixteen years until she finally woke up and met her current husband! She looks really happy with him!]
Unknown: [After witnessing Rebecca's framing of Miss White, I am so angry. She was originally outstanding with her childhood sweetheart tycoon boyfriend! All destroyed because of her sister's jealousy! No matter how good her current husband is, the end of her sixteen-year relationship is still regrettable!]
Unknown: [Can you believe some people find it regrettable? Have they not seen the actions of this tycoon scumbag? After seeing the photo of Miss White crying at the airport, even as a bystander, my heart broke multiple times. She is so pitiful! Since they are lovers, why doesn't he trust her? He is a tycoon; is it so difficult to investigate a matter? Just because of some fabricated photos, he doesn't trust his beloved? I always believe that love should be based on mutual trust. I can't understand his behavior.]
As Wyatt's cousin said, after this incident sparked widespread attention on foreign internet, it quickly stirred up heated discussions among netizens in the country.
But the focus in the country is quite strange.
Unknown: [Great, Secretary Woods has appeared in the sensational plot again!]
Unknown: [I saw on the foreign internet that when no one believed Miss White, only Secretary Woods protected her like a war god!]
Unknown: [This woman can easily steal my heart, as always!]
Unknown: [Essentially, Secretary Woods is just a very good person!]
Of course, besides that, many people were focusing on the event itself.
Unknown: [I want to pity the beauty. The previous generation's affairs are hard to say, but this sister actually pushed her sister into the abyss for ten years. She is really ruthless!]
Unknown: [My goodness, has this tycoon scumbag been through rehab? Miss White is so beautiful, and he didn't marry her for sixteen years?]
Unknown: [Come on, fresh gossip! Before Miss White got married, this scumbag actually went to find her, and he even had a car accident; so pitiful!]
Unknown: [Wait a minute! I boldly guess, could this scumbag be friends with Mr. Solomon?]
Unknown: [Reliable sources say that he did grow up with Mr. Solomon.]
The situation escalated.
Apart from those focusing on the event itself, the most intense interest was in the photographer's text and images.
The identity of that tycoon gentleman garnered much attention, and soon, Wyatt's identity surfaced.
Just as people were criticizing Wyatt, Stella's social media account went live, updating a new post simultaneously at home and abroad.
Stella: [Thank you all for your concern; I am very grateful; I am doing well now; please rest assured. Mr. Durham is a very good and kind person. The mishandling of emotional issues was our shared responsibility. After the separation, causing him harm because of me is something I do not want. Please do not launch personal attacks against him anymore.]
On the domestic side.
After Stella posted this, Fiona's alternate account reposted it. She didn't add any text, just a repost.
After Stella's post had gone out, some people expressed their understanding.
While others continued to criticize her, accusing her of losing her rationality and dignity for love.
At this moment, the Durham family's public relations team was also urgently handling the situation.
When public opinion is overwhelming, simply banning keywords is ineffective, and discussions will still take place.
But fortunately, at this time, Stella unexpectedly posted on social media.
The head of public relations sighed in relief, then looked at Wyatt's parents, saying, "In theory, Ms. White posting this at this time is of no benefit to her. Originally, people on the internet were sympathizing with her, but now there are many more criticizing her."
Emma looked extremely upset.
On her iPad, Wyatt's cousin sent many events related to Wyatt, including recordings and the photographer's text and images.
