Chapter 550
"She should just go to hell and stop messing with Summer!"
In fact, the trending topic, 'Olivia's secret involvement with different men', was manipulated by Summer's company.
Under the leadership of their public relations team, the members of the fan group's emotions were stirred and they
started off by casting doubt on Olivia's character, to finally resorting to name-calling and boycotting her to force
her to leave the entertainment industry. Everything was conducted quite smoothly.
There was also a social media account that looked to be newly registered. The account was mainly set up to reveal
the dirt on Olivia's past. The person spoke about how Olivia chose to be with a beggar seven years ago and
disregarded her father's strong objection before ending up giving birth to a child. Subsequently, her father had
forced her to leave the country.
The comments below were very nasty and everyone seemed to relish their snide remarks. There were all sorts of

Meanwhile, Summer saw the insulting comments grow as time went by and she couldn't help revealing a smug
smile. Well, that woman was quite smug before this, but now look at the mess she's in!
At the same time, Summer took advantage of Olivia's current viral status to reveal the incident from a few days
ago when Olivia performed resuscitation. The gist of it was that Olivia had an issue with Sean, so she chose to save
Eric but ignored Sean.
Instantly, Sean's fans joined the lynching mob and started to boycott Olivia too.
Furthermore, someone even photoshopped Olivia's photo into a funeral picture and posted it online. They
commented viciously for her to kill herself and not waste the earth's resources. This happened during a tumultuous
period as everyone on the Internet fought with each other.
Lara had also gotten wind of the content on the Internet, and although Samantha didn't manage to kill off Eugene,
the former hadn't expected that Samantha would have succeeded in pushing Olivia into such dire straits. Well,
Eugene is intent on targeting Roberts Company, huh? Then I'll make sure that he loses his position as the president!
She colluded with Edward and then they instantly made their way back to the Nolan Residence.
At that point, Merlin was completely unaware of everything happening outside.
Meanwhile, Edward didn't rush into bringing up the matter. However, he directly brought up the point that Eugene
was quite against Roberts Company lately and he had already snatched several of Roberts Company's main clients.
Slightly resignedly, Lara spoke. "Dad, you have to do something. We're a family after all. His actions of targeting
Roberts Company is as if he's targeting me too. All of these years, you've seen how I've treated him, so it's quite
rude of him to do this. I'm one of his elders after all, so if I fight back against him then it would make us look like a
joke to the outsiders. However, if I just suffer this indignation silently, I would not be able to explain myself to the
hundreds of employees of the Roberts Company!"
Merlin glanced at the two and took a sip of tea before commenting casually, "I haven't asked that child yet about
the actual issue behind this matter. However, I reckon that it's quite possible that he targeted the Roberts Company
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor the development of our company. I don't believe that he would be seeking revenge for a personal grudge like
what you mentioned. Rocky's in charge of the company, so his priority would definitely be the future of our
company. He wouldn't fool around with the company either. Besides, we're all foes in the corporate world and since
each of us represents a different company, then whoever's capable enough would win. How can you bring up family
ties in such a competitive environment?!"
Lara's brows were tightly furrowed at that point. Evidently, Merlin was biased toward Eugene. Just then, she
furtively signaled to Edward with her eyes.
As soon as Edward sensed his wife's instruction, he instantly responded, "Well, if that is the case, I think that you
should attend tomorrow's shareholders' meeting at the Nolan Group. Are you aware that Eugene's recently gotten
into a relationship? It's that doctor who treated you—Doctor Maxwell. For the last few days, his girlfriend's been
trending on the Internet and it has already had an effect on the company. Our share prices have dropped two
points in an hour. If this goes on, it won't be long before we come to a trading halt due to the fall in share prices. All
of the shareholders have been calling me to find out the reason!"
As soon as Merlin heard that, he was momentarily taken by surprise. "What sort of news is that?"
Instantly, Edward took out his phone and showed Merlin the conversation between the beggar and Olivia. The
exchange of words was explicit and quite vulgar.
