Chapter 173
FL
Emmanuel felt a little awkward. Why do I feel like a kept man, being protected
by my beautiful wife? Fine, I’ll admit it. This feels great!
Meanwhile, Hubert also sensed something was off and hastily went to
Gautier.
At that moment, Gautier had already returned home from work. When he
heard from Hubert that someone was defending Emmanuel online, he
immediately checked using his phone.
He found that the internet was awash with vindications supporting
Emmanuel. He curled his thin lips into a smirk. “Ha! It seems like Mackenzie is
helping him.”
“What? Mackenzie is helping him?” Hubert became even more disgruntled.
Why is my goddess helping him?
“What exactly is his relationship with Mackenzie?” Hubert exclaimed.
Gautier was also very curious. However, he never thought that Emmanuel
was actually Mackenzie’s husband. Otherwise, he could’ve easily figured out
the truth by carrying out an investigation at City Hall.
“Calm down. Even Mackenzie can’t save the Verkade family’s enemy. I give
you my word!”
With that, Gautier immediately gave the instruction using his phone to pay
the internet water army to smear Emmanuel.
The next instant, the internet was flooded with users slandering Emmanuel.
They mindlessly insulted Emmanuel, spreading baseless rumors and
directing vulgar remarks at him.
Seeing those comments, Emmanuel furrowed his brows. These are obviously
bot responses. Their words are nonsensical.
Unfortunately, those netizens, having low IQs and eager for drama, were
easily swayed by those comments.
“Don’t panic. Bots will never be able to defeat real people.” Mackenzie
sneered, knowing it was Gautier playing tricks behind the scenes.
Not backing down, she immediately texted Lexi, ordering her to start
countering.
At the same time, Jamison thought the comment he posted and his call to
chide others were taking effect. “Haha. It seems like the public’s eyes are still
sharp!”
Just as the grandfather–and–grandson duo was about to gloat again, they
suddenly discovered that those scornfully abusive comments against
Emmanuel were being rebutted, stating they were bot responses.
“D*mn it! When did Emmanuel become so capable? How did he manage
this?” Jamison, an ignorant dropout, knew nothing about those technical
aspects related matters.
What baffled him even more, was how Emmanuel, a guy earning an annual
Salary of eighty thousand, had the money to hire ghostwriters.
“Jamison, your trending topic has dropped to third place,” Henrietta piped up.
“How is that possible?” Jamison was taken aback and puzzled.
Many people were still following and commenting on his article, so how could
the popularity decrease?
As soon as he refreshed the homepage, he saw that the top two trending
topics were two clarification posts published by Roselynn and Emmanuel.
While some people in Yeringham merely followed the news mindlessly, most
were not fools. With the solid evidence now, how could they not know who
was telling the truth?
All of them went to support Roselynn and Emmanuel. Coupled with
Mackenzie’s frenzied subscription to internet water army services, Jamison’s
article, which relied solely on machines to boost its popularity, simply couldn’t
compete.
Upon refreshing again, the article had fallen out of the top three trending
topics.
Jamison’s grand plan was starting to turn south.
“Haha! The news about my confession made it to the top three!”
Hubert, having noticed the change, quickly forgot about dealing with
Emmanuel. Being a simple–minded scion, Hubert desired to let everyone
know about his romantic confession to Mackenzie was above anything else.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
While Hermann and his grandson were at a loss and staring blankly at the
computer screen, powerless to turn things around, a group of agitated
villagers pounded on their front door.
“Hermann, Jamison! Stop distorting the truth online and bringing shame to
Greendale Village!”
“That’s right. Come out here and face our criticism!”
