She had no reason to care about these people’s slander. At most, she would sue those arrogant trolls in court like before.
Audrey browsed Weibo for a long time and realized that there was still no mention of Frank and Eric in the posts. Instead, the media kept harping on her, Liz, and Elena.
“What a joke.” Audrey couldn’t help but sneer again.
Audrey saw some self-proclaimed “wise” netizens stand up and explain that she, Liz, and Elena had long become mortal enemies. Liz suddenly wanted to kidnap Elena out of hatred.
At this moment, Liz’s fans even jumped out and said that Liz was completely innocent. Liz had resorted to the kidnapping because she was forced to. She was actually a very innocent and kind person.
Simple? Kind? Audrey didn’t realize that Liz had such beautiful qualities.
The public opinion online intensified. Audrey’s company even called and asked her what she wanted to do next.
“What else can I do?” Audrey said to the company’s person-in-charge, “Haven’t I been rumored by trolls enough? If I respond to them now, the situation will only worsen.”
The person-in-charge didn’t look too good, but considering the traffic this matter brought, he decided to follow Audrey’s suggestion for the time being.
“My dear,” the person-in-charge said to Audrey in a pleasant manner, “I hope that you can turn the situation around like before. Otherwise… we can only consider whether we should terminate the contract with you.”
Audrey wasn’t surprised by the person-in-charge’s current attitude. She and the company were partners to begin with, so it was normal for the company to abandon her out of interest.
“No problem,” Audrey replied readily. “As long as it doesn’t violate morals or the law, I can accept any decision the company makes in the future.”
After the person-in-charge hung up, Audrey cursed at the empty room.
Similar to Audrey, Elena’s company was also silent.
Later, Audrey even asked Elena how she planned to handle this matter. Elena only found it funny.
Elena: Dear, why are you in such a hurry? I was the one who was kidnapped! Liz hurt me and your sister. No matter how public opinion ferments, as long as I maintain my identity as a victim and face the public, my interests will never be harmed.
Audrey: You’re about the same as I thought.
Elena: You know, compared to us, the netizens are more concerned about what will happen to Liz. You have to know that we are all adults. The law will not be lenient when it comes to crimes. Besides, Liz is already at the end of her tether. This time, no one will help her.
Audrey: I hope she will be punished by the law.
Elena: Me too.
… .
The Lance family was furious that Charlotte had been kidnapped by the crazy Liz.
Gary even pressured the police, saying that he had to make Liz pay the price.
However, Abner noticed another key point.
“Although Liz is an adult, no matter what, she’s just a woman with limited strength. I really can’t imagine that she can kidnap Elena and Charlotte on her own and drag them to the rooftop of the school.”
“She definitely has accomplices,” Audrey said with certainty. “It’s just that I don’t know if the police have already found the people involved in the crime.”
“I also feel that I should meet Liz,” Audrey said.
“If you want to see her, I’ll inform the police in advance,” Gary said. “As long as the case is over, I’ll definitely make Liz pay the price.”
At this moment, Anthea came downstairs.
“Is Charlotte still not awake? It’s already 8:30 pm.” Gary’s gaze couldn’t help but be a little complicated.
Anthea shook her head gently. “She… Charlotte still doesn’t want to talk to people. When I went into her room, she went straight into the blanket and pretended to be asleep.”
“This incident has indeed affected her a lot.” Gary didn’t know about Charlotte and Frank. He only thought that Charlotte had suffered a strong psychological blow when she was kidnapped.
