Group would leave answers that were concise, straight to the point and downright mean.
Gradually, the people who were applauding the Pearson Group account started to be hostile toward it.
'This person must be sick. Ridiculous!'
'This must be a fake account. Otherwise, it's hacked.'
'Will the employees of the Pearson Group put in a little more effort? Why are you joining in the fun at
such a time? You should be fired! Oh, I'm so mad!'
'Will the relevant supervisor of Pearson Group take care of this? This employee is like a mad man. I
only criticized McKinney, and not him. Why did he come for me out of nowhere?'
While the Internet trolls were speechless, a certified Twitter account belonging to a senior manager of
the Pearson Group tweeted, 'Thanks, but there's nothing I can do about this because the one holding
the official account now is President Pearson.'
Everyone was dumbstruck, and immediately afterward, the Lux Jewelry employee who broke the news
before posted another tweet. 'I told you so, but nobody believed me then. The ex-husband of McK is
President Pearson.'
Within thirty seconds of this tweet, the comments beneath her previous tweet that were criticizing
Leanna were all deleted without a trace.
Right when everyone thought that the president who was taking charge of the Twitter account would
continue arguing with the Internet trolls, he suddenly issued a grave statement.
'All comments and posts with malicious intent toward Miss McKinney are untrue. Miss McKinney was
once the legal wife of the president of Pearson Group, and even though they divorced due to some
misunderstanding, they have maintained a friendly relationship the whole time and President Pearson
is trying to win her back at the moment. Please make sensible comments or the Pearson Group will
reserve the right to sue for personal attacks and pursue legal responsibility.'
As a huge corporation, the lawyers employed by the Pearson Group were the elites of the industry.
Once they had really sent the solicitor's letter of demand, they would definitely proceed with the legal
procedures and not joke about it.
All of a sudden, the discussions on the Internet came to an abrupt stop.
The paid ghostwriters and business accounts were doing this because they were paid, anyway, and
now that the matter had blown up, they could possibly be thrown under the bus, too.
Meanwhile, after Carlile saw the statement posted by the official account of Pearson Group, her face
turned pale, and she slumped into the couch as though her energy was all drained out.
Suddenly, something popped into her mind after a few good minutes, and she hurriedly scrambled for
her phone. With trembling hands, she called Georgina and stammered, "M-Miss Crossley, have you
seen the news on the Internet? Leanna McKinney… S-She's the—"
"I know."
Panic-stricken, Carlile uttered, "It's over. It's a gone case this time!"
With a hint of annoyance in her voice, Georgina said, "Why are you panicking? Didn't I already tell you
that nobody can do anything to you if you insist that the jewelry you received is already in that
condition?"
"B-But it's the Pearson Group we're speaking about! They can easily see through this cheap trick of
mine." Tentatively, she asked, "Should I just make a public apology now?"
"Aren't you just proving that you're guilty if you apologize now? Leanna didn't even bring forward any
evidence yet, so I don't know what you're afraid of."
Carlile bit her lip. "But Miss Georgina, I'm afraid of offending the Pearson Group… I may even get
censored."
Georgina sniggered. "What a joke! Do you really think that Aidan Pearson can hoodwink the public?"
"After all, the power of the Pearson Family is—"
"The Pearsons are powerful, but what about my family?"
Without a doubt, Georgina was just trying to assure her with her words, but she didn't dare to be as
brazen as she was anymore while waiting to see the reaction from Leanna's studio. Once they
provided the evidence, she would apologize immediately.
Meanwhile at Leanna's studio, they didn't take advantage of the statement by the Pearson Group,
which was still a hot discussion. Instead, they remained silent and didn't respond to anything.
However, the quieter they were, the more anxious it made Carlisle, wondering what they were up to.
…
"The b*stard really renewed my knowledge of him. A knight in shining armor. Oh, how many women
wouldn't be touched?"
While Leanna was quiet, Zoe set her phone aside and dashed into the kitchen. "Nana, are you sure
you don't want to have a look?"
"Yes," Leanna replied, rinsing the vegetables and continuing to chop up something else.
After that, Zoe read out all the replies by Aidan word-by-word, and it didn't make any difference whether
Leanna read it or not.
Picking up an apple, Zoe then started to bite into it as she leaned against the kitchen door frame.

Actually, he didn't lose this round; he simply never won before.
Silently, Leanna sighed. "That's enough. Get Louis here for dinner."
"Oh, okay. I'll give him a call right away."
After Zoe left, Leanna peered at the cell phone next to her and paused for a few seconds. Then, as
though she was pierced, she quickly kept her gaze away.
Initially, she didn't plan to deal with the comments on the Internet. It wasn't like she had never been
criticized before. There were still two more days to Christmas, and once the celebrations were over,
she would slowly drop the hammer. One by one, she would hit Carlile with her blows and find the
chance to draw Georgina out as well.
Despite that, she didn't expect Aidan to cause this commotion now, throwing her off guard and into
confusion.
Although he had done no less of sweet-talking recently, it didn't occur to Leanna that he could go to this
extent, which was rather astonishing.
Who would have expected that the president of the Pearson Group would stoop so low as to argue with
netizens using his company's official Twitter account? Besides his mouth which was as mean as it had
always been, none of his other actions were fitting with him at all.
However, this fight also changed everyone's stereotyped opinion of Aidan. Some even suggested that if
he would start a lecture to teach others the art of arguing without the use of a single curse word, they
wouldn't mind paying for the class.
During dinner, Zoe couldn't help but wave her hand across Leanna's face when she caught her
smirking goofily. "What's on your mind?"
Hurriedly, Leanna set her thoughts aside and cleared her throat, her ears turning pinkish. "Nothing, I-
I'm eating."
Pouting, Zoe said indirectly, "It's Christmas Eve in two days' time. What are we doing? Do you guys
have any plans?"
"We'll just stay at home, I guess," Leanna said. Then, she recalled the tragic situation the last time and
quickly added, "Only the three of us! Don't invite or tell anyone else!"
"You're just playing the ostrich," Louis muttered.
"Huh?" she blurted.
Zoe nodded in agreement. "Yeah. On Christmas Eve, you'll definitely be having dinner. Even without
the need to invite, the person who should be here will show up for sure."
Her words left Leanna speechless.
