CHAPTER 134: CHAPTER 133: A POTENT DOSE

"Norman Bennett, if you’re busy, go ahead. I’ll head back first."

The man reluctantly released her, speaking softly, "Alright, be good at home. I’ll come back early tonight."

After leaving Melody Harmony, she didn’t go straight home but instead asked Lana to drive to Luna’s place.

...

――― Melody Sun Estate.

This is a medium- to high-end neighborhood, but the security said no unauthorized people are allowed in. Fortunately, Luna came to pick her up.

Inside the living room, after settling down on the country-style sofa, she said, "Luna, do you remember Simon King? Has he not divorced his wife yet?"

Upon hearing Elliana Lyle mention Simon King, Luna was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why suddenly bring up Simon King?"

Even if Simon King turns into ashes, she would still remember him; she has yet to exact revenge for the last time when he severely beat her!

Luna then said, "They shouldn’t have divorced, what’s up?"

"Weren’t you collecting evidence of Simon King’s infidelity last time?"

"Yeah, but after I sent the infidelity evidence to Simon King’s wife, I heard nothing further."

Luna speculated, "Maybe Simon King used some means to deceive his wife."

"Hmm."

Elliana frowned in thought. Norman Bennett mentioned that someone like Simon King wouldn’t get divorced, likely because of the company’s group interests.

So, if Simon King divorces, it would severely harm him, causing company division, especially since Simon King is the at-fault party. His fate would be even worse!

"What’s up? Why suddenly ask this?" Luna handed over an instant coffee, looking at her with some curiosity.

She remarked earnestly, "Luna, just give his wife another strong dose, and this marriage is almost certain to end."

"Yeah, right." Luna nodded in agreement, raising an eyebrow, "Do you want to start with this? Has he been bothering you again?"

Elliana shared the difficulties Norman Bennett faced, which piqued Luna’s interest. She had been busy with various matters and hadn’t had the time to take revenge on Simon King; now, opportunity knocked.

As for that "strong dose," the two tacitly understood each other without needing to say it aloud.

...

――― Bennett Family villa.

Since Luna needed to check some information, she returned to the villa. Summer Hue, whom she hadn’t seen for days, also sent her a message.

Summer: "Sis, it’s sorted out. Post it on Weibo, use any text you like."

Summer: [Pictures]

...

There are a total of five pictures, all of them well-retouched. They didn’t change her face to someone else’s, but added contact lenses, and the white background wall morphed into a bamboo forest, especially with the special effects—an absolute masterpiece.

CatCat: "No problem, I’ll post it right now."

When Elliana opened Weibo and checked her profile, she was stunned.

Several statuses had already been posted, including her afternoon tea selfies, which she sent to Joy Lyle via WeChat.

Needless to say, it was Victor King’s diligent operation. Since she hadn’t had time to film recently or appear publicly, he wanted to keep her popularity.

Recently, the trending list had a lot of new things, especially Eleanor Llyod’s case—she went abroad for a career transition and unexpectedly disappeared.

Though she didn’t particularly care if Eleanor was missing, a living person suddenly vanishing abroad without a trace seemed odd.

Could it be...

Eleanor went to find Shane Southwell!

At the year’s start, Norman Bennett mentioned to her that Owen Sutton had connections abroad, so the task of finding Shane Southwell was assigned to Owen Sutton.

So far, there had been no clues at all.

A message from Summer Hue on her phone brought her back to reality.

She copied the text Summer sent, uploaded it along with the five promotional images, and that was it.

...

Night fell.

Just as Elliana was about to lie down on the bed, she heard the sound of a car outside.

Her first reaction was that Norman Bennett was back, but she thought the man wouldn’t come back this early.

Looking out the window, it turned out Norman Bennett had returned!

So when he said he’d come back early, he really meant it.

"Norman Bennett~" she excitedly and happily ran downstairs, throwing herself into his arms.

The man placed his hand on her waist, gazing seriously at the little girl in his arms.

This familiar lotus fragrance made Elliana take a deep breath, then she looked up with a cheeky smile and said, "Norman Bennett, I thought you were just saying you’d come back early."

"When have I ever lied to you? Hmm?"

"Never~"

The man suddenly picked her up, catching her off guard. In her panic, she quickly grabbed his neck to steady herself.

Inside the room.

Elliana lay on the bed, waiting for the man to shower, though not just idly; she checked Weibo to see the ad’s response.

However, the response was not as "positive" as she had believed.

A blogger who sells baby products @ed her. It wasn’t an attack, but neither was it friendly.

BearMommy:

@EllianaLyleStudio, you’re a woman too, right? You’ll be a wife and mother someday. Are you that short on money? Why advertise games? Do you know the harm games cause to children?

As a public figure, many children will look up to you as an idol and role model! As a celebrity, you should have the right values and outlook on life. Either apologize or be my enemy! And be an enemy to all women!

...

After reading this, Elliana felt a bit confused. How did she become an enemy to all women?

Beneath the post were some highlighted comments.

MySweetiePie: "Really dislike this woman, constant scandals, cruel and ruthless, persecuting influencers without backgrounds. Orion was ruined by this woman, and she’s both ugly and has an uglier heart!"

IronPotNoodles: "Isn’t she supposed to be the daughter of a rich family? In need of this petty cash? I think she’s a "god-daughter," utterly compromising to earn dirty money! Let’s all report and complain about this game and Elliana, chase her out of entertainment!"

StepByStep: "Previously drove a classmate to death, and now targeting the youth. If this game promotion isn’t stopped, grave misfortunes are inevitable! Parents dying on the streets! Please @EllianaLyleStudio reconsider."

BagBag: "Ugh, hasn’t finished the counterfeit goods issue and already jumping on celeb hype? Could you refund the money? These items are for kids, and you’re not responsible when problems arise? After so many complaints, do you think riding someone’s coattails will settle it?"

...

This blogger had nearly 200 comments underneath, and though the slander seemed unable to gain much traction, she was honestly quite angered.

She also saw a video of Orion playing victim, but in reality, he hadn’t lost family or home; he was just playing the victim card!

And this baby product blogger was someone she used to follow, which is why she saw it. Initially, she followed because she thought the blogger’s child was cute.

But when she saw the last highlighted comment, she couldn’t help but scroll down, and indeed many people mentioned counterfeit goods.

If not now, when to report it?

After submitting complaints to the business administration and on Weibo, she returned to check her own Weibo comments, which were obviously free of trouble, friendly and amicable, currently having a hundred thousand likes and eight thousand comments.

Seems the promotional effect was satisfactory.
