Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

Chapter 90
“It would be a shame for Ms. Stone if Mr. York plays for the other team.”
Jasmine added regrettably, “That would be a disappointing result now that someone had the prowess to woo Mr.York.Speaking
of which, do you think the heir swings the other way?”
Serenity replied amusedly, “How would I know?”
It was only their suspicion, but of course, Mr.York’s sexual orientation would be determined should he accept and marry
Ms.Stone.
Nevertheless, what did it have to do with Serenity? The hottest gossip, even if it was about Mr.York, was not worthy of Serenity’s
time.Jasmine, however, loved getting into it.
Every so often, Jasmine would babble about local big stories within Serenity’s earshot.
Refusing to engage in gossip, Serenity took out her tools to get into her crafting.
Jasmine rambled on under her breath while checking out the trending news.
She was reading an article when her expression slowly turned grave.
Not too long later, she slammed hard on the cash register.
The loud smack startled Serenity.
“What was that about, Jasmine? You scared me.”
“D*mn it! This is outrageous!”
Seething with rage, Jasmine got up and passed her phone to Serenity.
Jasmine uttered furiously, “Seren, is this article about you and Liberty? Your names and a photo are on the news.
The two girls in the photo look like you and Liberty.

“It’s written that all you and your sister only ever cared about are yourselves without regard for your family, and that you turn your
back to your sick grandmother.
Apparently, you never visited your family for over ten years, and now the old lady is sick because she misses her
granddaughters dearly.”
Serenity got a bad feeling about it.
She swiftly took the phone from Jasmine and read the trending story.
A photograph of a younger version of herself and her sister was also tweeted.
The article really riled Serenity up.
Needless to say, someone among the relatives posted the tweet, but there was no telling which cousin it was.
The tweet disclosed her personal information such as name, photo, and personal mobile number.
The sisters were published as villains, shunning the family after the grandparents tried to make ends meet to raise the sisters
and afford their education.
Yet, the kindness and love were repaid by years of absence.
Now that the grandmother was critically ill and wished to meet the granddaughters by her deathbed, the sisters refused to even
turn up at the hospital.
It was such a believable lie.
At the very end of the tweet, the poster appealed to the netizens to contact Serenity and Liberty so the sisters would rush to
Wiltspoon General Hospital to visit the grandmother for a final goodbye.
Serenity’s hands were shaking by the time she got to the end of the article.
It never occurred to her that these people would be so shameless to smear her andLiberty’s names online.
The sisters went viral, probably because it was paid content.
The purpose was to drag the sisters’ names through the mud.

Although Serenity and Liberty were ordinary people, the tweet put the sisters in the forefront of abuse by keyboard warriors.
Fueled by a pretentious sense of righteousness, these keyboard warriors hid behind online anonymity, skinning the sisters alive
and tearing into them without getting to the truth of the matter.
The sisters would be exposed to cyberbullying! Fifteen years had passed, but Serenity’s relatives were just as brazen and
ruthless as before.
They jumped on Serenity and Liberty without mercy and consideration that they were family!
These relatives sure went the whole nine yards to make Serenity pay for the old hag’s medical treatment! “Are you okay, Seren?”
Jasmine was worried as her best friend was burning in hatred.
Keeping to herself, Serenity scrolled through the comments.
Judging by the mean comments about them sisters, the relatives must have spent a lot of money on trolls.
