There was none. The trending topics were all about some other celebrities. ‘Jeremy must’ve buried the news after
all…’
However, she had a lot of unread messages on her social media account. She tapped open to see them. She
received the most messages from Annie, which was right at the top of the list. She started to read them all after
clicking on the chat window.
[Corinne, have you and Uncle Jeremy reached home?]
[Corinne! Corinne! You’re trending again!]
[Someone has posted some screenshots of the news in some forums abroad.]
[Corinne, the mother and daughter who accused you of stealing the daughter’s university spot is doing a live
stream in some app. They’ve painted themselves as some poor victim. You should look.]
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAttached to the message was a link.
Corinne quickly clicked on the link and saw it was indeed Josephine and her mother.
The older woman was sobbing while describing the ‘injustice’ Corinne brought on to her daughter. Josephine, as
usual, was crying with her head lowered.
Thousands of people were watching the live stream while angry comments poured in.
[Are we going to just watch and do nothing while Holden Group bullies us regular folks?]
[They’re nothing but evil capitalists!]
[The SAT exams are the only chances for us ordinary people to change our lives, yet rich people didn’t think twice
about stealing that chance away from us!]
[They’re pure evil! They’ve even buried the news in the country, so we must do what we can to keep this topic alive
abroad. We must bring justice to Miss Josephine!]
[Yes, you’re right! We must keep this topic trending!]
At that moment, a social media user called ‘LuckyAnn’ posted a comment that was starkly different from the rest.
[Stop talking bullsh*t! Corinne wasn’t even married to Jeremy when she was in high school. Even if the Holdens
were capable of helping her to fake the SAT grades, why would they do something like that for someone they don’t
know?]
[The fact that you’re speaking up for the Holdens must mean that you’ve been paid off by them!]
[LuckyAnn: F*ck you!]
[Everyone, look! She knows she’s been exposed. That’s why she’s cursing like that!]
LuckyAnn then replied, [You brainless bunch don’t even know when you’re being conned by others! Don’t you know
Corinne came from a poor background too? How could she have the money to pay off the school?]
[Haha! We have nothing to gain from this, so if there’s anyone who’s been conned, it’s you! Tell me: Just how much
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmis the Holdens paying you to comment here? Let us know so we can earn some of that sweet moolah, too.]
[Yeah! Let us earn some of that money, too!]
It was a good thing there were still some sane people in this world as another social media user posted, [I was in
the same high school as Corinne. I remember she was a kind girl and the belle of the school. She was never
involved in any scandal, and even though she often skipped class, she still managed to get top scores in all of her
exams…]
[Don’t you think it’s weird that she still manages to get top scores in all of her exams when she skips class often? If
what you say is true, then that just means she’s been faking her exam scores before the SAT exams. And if you’re
lying, it just means you’re one of the other people being paid off by the Holdens!]
[I’m not! I’m just telling it like how it is.]
[Then can you tell us why Corinne often skips school? Is it so that she can fool around with some guy?]
[That must be it! I mean, what girl would skip class that often without a good reason?]
LuckyAnn then commented, [Oh, just piss off, would ya?]
