Chapter 1071 Starting the Counterattack
As soon as the question appeared on the screen, people stopped commenting and stared at the screen.
Just in case new comments would drown out this one and they could not get a response from Sydney.
Smiling, Sydney looked up at Julien.
Sensing her gaze, Julien put down his phone and said, "You can tell the truth."
Julien noticed this question apparently and knew why Sydney was looking at him.
Sydney took a deep breath, "Seriously?"
"For sure." Julien nodded and added, "You're the victim. And you don't have to ask me. You can do anything you want. That's your right."
Sydney replied with a smile, "All right. Then I will make my own decision."
With that, she fixed her eyes on the screen and answered the question: [No hatred. Why do they dare to be so presumptuous? Money is undoubtedly the driver.]
Sydney's reply made netizens excited.
[Aha, are you saying the Squirrel team was backed up by someone else? The benefits they got from the brains behind the scheme prompted them to start a rumor about you regardless of risks.]
Sydney gave a thump-up to this comment and replied: [Exactly. The brain behind the scheme is a woman who adores my Mr. Flint. Alas, this is on Mr. Flint's charm, or she would not attempt to cast a bone between Mr. Flint and me by causing misunderstanding. If her approach works, she'll have a
chance to replace me, won't she? Fortunately, Mr. Flint never doubted me. I want to thank Mr. Flint's trust, @ Julien Flint. ❤]
Julien caught Sydney's reply to the question.
The words "my Mr. Flint" burned inside him like a flame. He gazed at Sydney with deep feeling through his burning eyes. In addition, his breath became heavy.
Sydney flushed with shame and thought, '"Julien's eyes seemed to bore a hole in mine. If Luke weren't here, he might even strap my clothes."
Sydney gave Julien a look with a blush, signing him to stop staring at her.
Julien smiled, upraised his cell phone, and pointed at the screen, "I like this form of address. But I prefer another one."
Sydney blinked in confusion as she looked at the words he was pointing at. "Which one?"
Julien stated slowly, "My husband."
Sydney's face was burning. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Luke sneered, "Of all the nerves! How could you brazenly ask Syd to address you as her husband so since you're unmarried?"
Julien gave a contemptuous glance at Luke and said, "It's just a matter of time. Are you jealous of me?"
Luke snorted and said nothing.
Jealous?
No doubt!
How could he be careless? She was the one he loved!
Not having received a reply, Julien looked away and was complacent about his victory over Luke.
Two men's reactions left Sydney not knowing whether to laugh or to cry.
She didn't bother to give a damn, so she headed down to her cell phone.
There were lots of new comments after her reply. She was so curious.
[Jesus! Turns out the paramour created a scandal about Mr. Flint's real girlfriend to replace her. How ridiculous she is!]
[Correction. This woman's not much of a paramour, because only someone who has a substantial relationship with a man can be called that. She's a fervent admirer at best. But she's indeed ridiculous. ]
[I'm a staff from Flint Corporation. As a noted eligible bachelor, Mr. Flint naturally has many admirers. But why has he never been involved in any scandal? Mr. Flint has told every family with daughters in his circle not to propose any marriage alliance to him, or he would show no mercy. I've never seen a woman in his circle court him. But this woman's moves really take me by surprise. I wonder if she didn't know our boss' warning or wanted to give it a shot. Whatever it is, she's got nerve.]
[No wonder Mr. Flint is scandal-free. Typically, no executive is immune from scandal or nubile young ladies. Mr. Flint, however, is the opposite. It turns out that the richer a man is, the more restrained he becomes. He's really incredible. I really envy Ms. Raines.]
Sydney laughed despite herself when she saw the comments.
Julien looked up at her, "Why are you laughing?"
Sydney covered her mouth, smiling, "The netizens say you're a man of quality."
"Am not I?" Raising his chin, Julien asked proudly.
Sydney was amused by his expression, "Of course you are."
'God, I have no idea that he's narcissistic. But he's cute.'
[Have you noticed that Ms. Raines mentioned two official accounts, namely, the Squirrel team and the McDaniel Network when she clarified the situation? The Squirrel team is the media that released the fake scandal. Is McDaniel Network the mastermind behind this affair?]
[It should not be the McDaniel Network but the daughter of the group's president. I've confirmed with my friend who worked there. It is said that Miss McDaniel has contacted the technical department today, ordering them to manipulate public opinion and keep the matter a trending topic. You got me?]
[Turns out Miss McDaniel is the real mastermind behind this plot. How selfish she is! She harmed her family and her family's company for her own benefit. Mr. Flint and Ms. Raines won't spare her.]
People finally found the real mastermind from their discussion.
Someone even asked Sydney to reveal her plan of revenge.
Sydney gave no reply because she had no idea about that.
Not getting a reply, they didn't urge Sydney but instead began cursing Miss McDaniel on McDaniel's official website.
Although the Squirrel team used them to attack Sydney, they knew that this team was not in control and that Miss McDaniel was the real mastermind.
Netizens, therefore, vented their anger on the McDaniel Network and Miss McDaniel.
Miss McDaniel, however, did not have social media account, so the McDaniel Network suffered a double attack.
Netizens didn't spare the Squirrel team that used them before.
Mr. Guzman was out of the office as he had been put in prison by Zach. A leaderless team and netizens' attack plagued the team members. They were mad at Mr. Guzman terribly!
