Chapter 17 Mistress! Get lost!
The topic was filled with foul language, and netizens were filled with vitriol.
“Is it so easy to be a homewrecker these days? Doing this right in front of the wife?”
“The mistress and her entire family should drop dead.”
“I bet this woman is Miss White from the White family. Who knew the heiress couldn’t handle being alone?”
David, returning from a call, witnessed Mia reading the comments, and his heart skipped a beat, “What are you doing?”
He rushed over and grabbed her phone, “I’ve already ordered. people to suppress the trending topic. Why are you reading what those ignorant people have to say? They know nothing.”
Though startled by the cruel comments, Mia quickly regained her composure.
Seeing David so concerned for her, Mia had no choice but to console him, “They are strangers; their words won’t affect me.”
In truth, she had been through worse over the years.
David finally nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle this.”
Sure enough, the trending topic was suppressed, and Mia’s pictures were no longer visible.
David hadn’t even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when his phone rang shrilly.
“Wendy Swan has tweeted.”
David’s face darkened terribly. If he couldn’t guess that Wendy was doing this on purpose, he would have to be a fool.
Mia took his phone and opened Twitter again.
Wendy Swan V: I never thought … they are old friends, perhaps not what everyone is thinking. Don’t misunderstand.
It looked like she was defending Mia and Joe, but in reality, it only incited the netizens’ emotions once more.
The topic that had finally been suppressed was once again trending, with more and more people concocting seemingly plausible stories online, pushing Mia further into the abyss.
Soon, the fact that Mia was Miss White of the White family was uncovered, causing the White Group’s stock price to plummet.
The Smith family, however, was unaffected.
Seeing this, Mia sneered. Picking on the weak, were they?
She stopped David, who was almost smashing his phone in anger, her face calm, “Let them rant. The bigger the uproar, the
better.”
David, seeing her so composed, felt his anxiety lessen
considerably. He had always known Mia was no rash person, “Do you have evidence?”
Mia scoffed, “Back then, they were hardly discreet. There’s evidence aplenty.”
Just then, a call came in from the White family.
“Mia! You idiot!” a venomous voice shouted from the other end of the phone. Mia’s expression remained impa*sive as she placed the phone on the table beside her, waiting for the ranting to stop before picking it up again.
Sure enough, the voice on the other end had changed to a middle-aged man.
“Mia, not only did you sneak abroad, but now you’ve caused such an uproar upon your return! Whether you apologize on your knees or find another way, seek Miss Swan’s forgiveness immediately, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!”
Listening to her nominal father speak like this, Mia responded with mocking laughter, “Aren’t you most aware of what happened back then? Why don’t you clear it up?”
“You’re insane!” Mr. White yelled in anger, “To clear it up now would be to openly offend the Smith family!”
His voice then softened a bit, “Apologize to Miss Swan and seek
her forgiveness, and I’ll still allow you to be the daughter of the White family. Otherwise…”
“Then I won’t be the so-called daughter anymore,” Mia replied sarcastically, hanging up and blocking the number.
David looked at Mia with concern, “Are you alright?”
Mia shook her head, “They can’t affect me.”
She had long lost hope in the White family, and after learning the truth about a certain matter, all that was left was disdain.
Calmly, she made a few calls and prepared all the evidence.
Meanwhile, Wendy, seeing netizens madly slandering Mia, almost laughed out loud.
Mia’s reputation was now ruined, and even if Joe were to clear her name later, what good would it do?
People would only remember her as a homewrecker and ignore the clarification.
“Leak Mia’s information quietly, including her address if possible,” Wendy sneered, instructing her agent.
