Love's Change of Heart

After the news came out, many marketing accounts and internet trolls started manipulating public

opinion.

'I can't believe it! I used to really like Daphne. I even helped her chew out that sc*mbag! Does this

mean that we were bashing ourselves instead? She's now back with that sc*mbag!'

'The apology from Theodore a while ago caused such a commotion. Everyone has joined in on

criticizing him. The most heartbroken ones must be the fans. They criticized him so passionately, only

to find out that they were criticizing their idol's future husband.'

'Goodness! If I were a fan, I would be devastated. What have these fans even been stanning… Instead

of wasting money on idol worship, they might as well spend it on their parents.'

'I'm shocked even though I'm not a fan. There are so many hot guys in the entertainment industry. Why

must she bend over backward for… that?'

Daphne's fans were dumbfounded when they read these comments.

Many of them immediately decided to unfollow her and leave negative comments, while others chose

to continue believing in and supporting Daphne while they waited for her response.

It was already 5.00PM when Daphne finished shooting the advertisement. As soon as she stepped out

of the studio, she noticed the staff outside whispering and discussing something. However, they fell

silent and broke up the moment they saw her.

She looked around and found her assistant. Taking a bottle of water from her hand, she asked while

drinking, "What's going on?"

However, Fish looked somewhat evasive instead of responding immediately.

Sensing something amiss, Daphne remained silent for a couple of seconds before demanding, "Give

me my phone."

Fish reluctantly handed it over. "Daphne, the company called this afternoon and said…"

Daphne opened her Twitter account and saw the news about her and Theodore.

Her eyebrows were immediately pulled together as she enlarged the video and finally saw that it was

taken at the entrance of her residential complex.

It must have been the time when Theodore was waiting there when he attempted to take her away

forcefully.

However, because the video was only a few seconds long and the camera was focused on Theodore,

her fighting against his hold was not captured at all. It actually looked as if Theodore was guiding her to

the car.

After watching for a while, Daphne suddenly burst into laughter. How shameless can a person be?

Without hesitation, she switched to a new page on Twitter to clarify the situation.

However, the screen showed that she had to log in again, and when she entered her password, it

showed that she had typed in the wrong password.

The assistant's voice continued to ring out beside her. "The company called this afternoon… They said

they will take back control of your Twitter account and handle the postings themselves."

Daphne's head shot up and she looked at Fish with an incredulous gaze. "What?"

Fish squeaked, "I asked them about it, but they said it's a rule from the higher-ups. It applies to all

artists under the Pearson Group. There are no exceptions."

"Higher-ups? Who exactly are you talking about?"

The assistant pointed upward and muttered, "They said that it's an order from the president's personal

assistant's office."

In other words, the president had given his permission to carry out the order.

Daphne gripped her phone tightly. She pursed her lips as she looked at her assistant and asked, "Has

the PR department mentioned how they plan to handle this?"

"They haven't contacted me yet. It seems like they want to take a more passive approach."

Daphne didn't even have time to change her clothes. She swiftly grabbed her coat and headed out. "I'm

going to the Pearson Group."

"Wait, Daphne!" Fish hurriedly packed up and chased after her.

Once they were in the car, Fish stole a glance at Daphne's expression and hesitated before speaking.

"Daphne, I don't think the company will do anything about this…"

Daphne only frowned without saying a word.

Seeing this, Fish continued, "I saw a post analyzing that this incident between you and Theodore might

have been intentionally released by the Pearson Group to shift the topic and divert the attention."

Daphne had been so busy with work these past few days that she hadn't paid much attention to what

happened online. "Topic? What topic?"

The assistant couldn't explain it clearly right now. As such, she gave a summary. "It's mainly about the

troubles and disputes between President Pearson… uh… that is, Aidan Pearson, and the current

president of the Pearson Group. I don't really understand it either."

When Daphne heard this, she took a deep breath and regained some composure.

Aidan had occasionally used her and other artists under the company to create topics and generate

buzz, but it had always been something beneficial to both parties.

Something like this—relying on a video that was only a few seconds long and had been taken out of

context, and even confiscating her account to prevent her from clarifying immediately—had never

happened before.

Daphne had met Justin a few times, and she didn't think he was someone who would issue such an

order either.

Eventually, she closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat. "Let's go to the Pearson Group and see

what's going on."

Fish fell silent after giving a nod in agreement. She then took out her phone to observe the trends in

online public opinion.
