CHAPTER 100: CHAPTER 100: LEGAL, MARRIED, DEEPLY IN LOVE

Holly saw the marriage certificate in Blake Sinclair’s hand and, as if sensing it, immediately checked her phone.

Someone on the Weibo plaza had already screenshotted and shared Blake Sinclair’s latest post, with his post at the top marked with a deep red ’explosive’ tag.

Just a minute ago, a blank-avatar user named Blake Sinclair posted on Weibo, "Blake Sinclairy: Legal, married, very much in love."

The first picture is a photo from inside the marriage certificate, the second a side profile of her holding flowers at the registry office entrance.

Weibo crashed instantly.

When the page finally refreshed, all the onlookers flooded under this Weibo post, and the usually reticent Blake Sinclair was patiently replying to netizens’ comments one by one.

"President Sinclair, did you really marry Holly? Is it not just hype?"

Blake Sinclair replied: "Yes, legally documented. [Close-up of marriage certificate JPG]"

"Why was it never publicly acknowledged before? Why announce it now?"

Blake Sinclair replied: "I didn’t have Holly’s consent."

"So this time, did she ask you to clarify?"

Blake Sinclair: "No, I acted first and asked later. She’s glaring at me right now. I’ve prepared to kneel on a keyboard."

To know that Blake Sinclair, a prominent figure in Beldon, the revered and untouchable jade of the Sinclair Family in the eyes of Beldonians, was being so down-to-earth and publicly joking about kneeling, it immediately touched the hearts of many netizens.

The comment section went wild, and people found joy, bouncing around under this Weibo post.

"President Sinclair, why did you marry Holly?"

Blake Sinclair: "Love, no complicated reason."

"President Sinclair, since you said love, why do you look impatient and angry in the small house photo?"

Blake Sinclair: "Not angry or impatient, it was because she wouldn’t let me hold her hand at the time, and I felt a bit wronged."

The word ’wronged’ caused the netizens to go wild with this straightforward and sweet display of affection, going crazy over the couple.

"I’m dying from this cuteness! My mom asked why I was kneeling while looking at my phone!"

"The high-cold CEO is actually a big, wronged puppy! What a charming contrast!"

The hashtag #BlakeSinclairSweetWrongedExpression# shot to the second spot on trending topics.

But then, the marketing accounts who were just bouncing around started stirring trouble again: "Posting a random edited marriage photo won’t fool anyone, can you prove you’re Blake Sinclair? Or is this a high-profile imitation account catching attention?"

Blake Sinclair saw the comment and replied with two words: "Hold on."

Within a few minutes, Blake Sinclair’s avatar changed to a sunset silhouette of a woman, with a new yellow ’V’ certification and clear homepage information labeling him as "Chairman of Sinclair Group, Blake Sinclair."

Netizens exploded, swarming over to this marketing account’s comment section to crusade: "Audacious! Who gave you the nerve to doubt President Sinclair? You’re really done this time!"

"Weren’t you talkative? Oh, deleting comments now? Expect a lawsuit!"

Before the marketing account could respond, a new notification popped up at the top of all network users’ Weibo.

Officially certified from Sinclair Group: "To celebrate President Sinclair opening Weibo, we are hosting a lottery, with 216 prizes of 521,314 yuan for sharing his post.

The lottery conditions: leave a blessing and share President Sinclair’s official announcement, requiring netizens to be law-abiding and have not posted extreme statements online. The platform will draw the winners, and Sinclair Group holds the right of final explanation, with no need to follow.

521,314 yuan, 216 prizes, totaling nearly a billion yuan! The whole internet went crazy!

"I’m not good at math, can someone tell me how many digits that is?"

"Here comes the class math representative, that’s 521,314 yuan times 216... it’s a lot of money! President Sinclair is generous!"

"I have a guess, could 216 be Holly’s birthday?"

"President Sinclair is really going all out! I believe it, shared, hoping to win!"

"Dear heavens, please let Blake Sinclair and Holly be my ultimate couple, may they have long-lasting happiness and many children!"

Shortly after, Blake Sinclair replied under this Weibo post: "Thank you for your blessing, someone from Sinclair Group will contact you soon to give you an extra gift of a newly released car from Sinclair."

This reply caused a frenzy among netizens, who rushed to offer blessings, and the comment section was filled to the brim with good wishes.

All the trending keywords were related to Blake Sinclair, and the plaza was filled with shares of his official announcement.

User12387: "I heard you can pick up money here?"

Blake Sinclair Holly99: "Mom and dad, I want to be your only daughter."

OfferHollyYacht: "I will worship Blake Sinclair and Holly as my eternal gods, who dares to oppose?"

GetRichGetRichGetRich: "Heavenly match, earthly match, my cp must go left love, everyone step aside! My cp must go left love, everyone step aside!"

NotShippingWhat: "Bless Blake Sinclair and Holly with everlasting love, finally, this prosperity comes to me!

Fans were crazed, completely forgetting why they originally came to Weibo.

A few still clear-headed voices whispered in the comment section: "Has everyone forgotten? We came for an explanation, but the previous photo hasn’t been clarified yet."

Immediately, a netizen retorted, "Get lost! What explanation? If you don’t need the two eyeballs above your nose, you can donate them!"

"President Sinclair posted the marriage certificate, stop making trouble here. The couple is good, why are you causing trouble?"

"Exactly, if you’re so idle, go work in an electronics factory or something."

Seeing the situation calming, Mia Chapelle’s fans quickly stirred the waters again, "Even if Holly married Blake Sinclair, isn’t she still cheating while married? What about Zion Pence? What about the man in the first picture?"

This statement caused murmurs as some netizens began to waver.

Yes, although Blake Sinclair explained their relationship, what about the other two?

The first photo showed Holly entering a hotel with that man and not coming out for a night, how to explain her entanglement with Zion Pence?

This comment quickly rose to the top.

But soon enough, Blake Sinclair reposted the comment, adding: "That person is me."

Netizens were confused and began to ask: "What do you mean, President Sinclair? The man in the hotel photo is you? But the photo doesn’t quite look like you?"

Blake Sinclair replied, "It’s an angle issue. That night, I was with Holly the whole time."

He wasn’t lying; after finding Holly from Frederick Fletcher that night, she was indeed with him, though some details didn’t need full explanation.

Blake Sinclair’s reply was a reassurance.

Netizens felt relieved, "See that! All you marketing account trolls, retreat!"

Those people remained unconvinced: "But at that time, President Sinclair and Holly weren’t married yet, what were you doing at the hotel?"

"Can you be sensible? Haven’t you ever gone to a hotel with your partner while dating? You don’t understand the couple’s romance?"

"President Sinclair: I took my future wife to a hotel, so what? Is that illegal?"

This troop claiming to be the guards of Blake Sinclair and Holly’s love blocked marketing accounts and other trolls alike, quickly making all doubts disappear.

Mia Chapelle’s fans, noticing the shift in the wind, immediately came up with a new argument.

LalalaDrum: "Capital is truly amazing, but why not explain Holly and Zion Pence’s photo, are they childhood sweethearts too?"

HollyIWillLoveForever: "The person above is clearly a Mia Chapelle fan, but maybe delete your shared lottery post on your homepage before commenting? Hypocrite! Shark! Wall!

LalalaDrum: "Is this your so-called quality? So harsh? I just wanted an explanation."

HollyIWillLoveForever: "Here comes the mean little girl! I don’t hear you, you have bad breath! Stinky!"

LalalaDrum: "You’re so uncultured, fans really follow the idol! Until now it’s just Blake Sinclair replying, where’s Holly? Hiding? Surely she admits to cheating while married, ruining others’ families will bring retribution, right!"

HollyIWillLoveForever: "Modern fetal preservation technology is just too strong! Has saying this made your unfortunate life feel any better? Get lost!"

JadeTreeFallsOnHollyLeaf: "Hey, I’m not trying to interrupt, just wanted to say, Holly just posted on Weibo."
