Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Fiona Vaughn Is Blacklisted by the Company

President Quinn felt like he’d just been struck by a bolt of lightning from the heavens!

No, that’s not right! It was more like money falling from the sky—and he caught it without even doing anything!

Double the pay!

This wasn’t just a small amount of money!

President Quinn had never seen such an easy deal before. There weren’t even any performance targets—he just needed to make sure that Fiona Vaughn and her mother would never recover their reputation in the public eye!

The incident at Radiant Group’s relocation ceremony had spread everywhere, and he’d heard all about it. Plus, Kane Motion Pictures Group’s Director Goldsmith had personally come out to apologize. With all this evidence, it would be nearly impossible for Fiona Vaughn and her mother to clear their names!

Where could you find such a guaranteed moneymaker!

...

President Quinn was all smiles at once!

"Of course, I guarantee Young Master Law will be satisfied!"

"Young Master Law, besides dominating public opinion, do you have any other requests?"

Adrian Law casually glanced at him.

"Just do that, and it’ll be enough. I’ll provide all the materials you need."

"..."

My God, there’s business this easy? The client even provides the ammo!

Who says The Eldest Young Master Law is some ruthless shark in the business world, tearing his enemies to the bone?

As far as President Quinn was concerned, the guy was a walking, golden money tree!

President Quinn was grinning from ear to ear, nodding eagerly at Adrian Law.

"Of course, anything for The Eldest Young Master Law—I’ll make sure it’s taken care of!"

Adrian Law nodded slightly, then left together with Wyatt Law.

After they got in the car, Wyatt thought for a moment, then looked over at Adrian Law in the front passenger seat.

"Young Master, does Young Madam know what you’re doing for her?"

"No need to tell her. As long as it’s resolved, that’s enough. I just want Cecilia to worry a little less."

"..."

Wyatt was speechless—he suddenly felt like he’d just been force-fed a giant mouthful of PDA!

Young Master really spoils Young Madam too much!

Everyone used to worry that the Young Master would die alone, and since meeting Young Madam, the whole vibe’s changed—he’s turned into a complete wife-doting maniac!

...

The very next day, the internet was in an uproar about Fiona Vaughn and Florence Warner. That huge "EXPLOSIVE" tag on Weibo—no one could ignore it!

Not to mention all the newspapers, radio stations, even TV was running with the story of the Radiant Group Chairman’s wife persecuting her stepdaughter!

Fiona Vaughn was at the hospital with Florence Warner. By the time she realized she needed to hire some internet trolls, the news had already gone viral. There was no way to suppress it anymore!

"How did this happen? I clearly told Tyson to suppress all the media coverage!"

Yesterday’s livestream had been interrupted, and she’d asked Tyson Law to use his connections to delete posts and videos en masse!

Weibo was still calm at the time, but now it’s everywhere, completely out of control!

On the sickbed, Florence Warner’s eyes widened when she heard her daughter’s words.

"What? You couldn’t keep the news down?"

She immediately pulled out her phone and started scrolling through Weibo—instantly, she saw dozens of top comments cursing her out!

—Radiant Group Chairman’s wife was a foot massage parlor girl? Even someone with her "profession" can marry into wealth? That’s wild!

—What do you mean ’marrying into wealth’? She’s obviously a homewrecker using pregnancy to force her way in! She even got the original wife killed!

—Did you guys not see? Florence Warner gave birth to Fiona only two months after the legitimate wife—Radiant’s chairman is a scumbag! Cheating during the wife’s pregnancy!

—I get nauseous now when I see Fiona. ’Nation’s First Love?’ ’White Moonlight?’ It’s all fake! Homewrecker’s daughter wants to be a homewrecker too—must be genetic!

—That’s not all! The Warner woman tried to drug the legit daughter—so wicked!

...

Florence Warner was so furious she nearly couldn’t catch her breath, her body shaking wildly like a leaf.

"What is all this nonsense!"

For years, she’d been the most fabulous Chairman’s wife at Radiant Group; no one had ever dared slander her like this!

Her anger peaked and she flung her iPhone to the floor.

Seeing Florence Warner like a crazed shrew, Fiona Vaughn was even angrier inside.

"Mom, pull yourself together—the journalists are waiting outside and are about to interview you. Remember to cry, okay?"

"Everything that happened, it’s all Cecilia’s fault! She ruined your face. You need to talk about how pitiful you are!"

Now that things had come to this, if they didn’t milk this for pity, there was no way to calm things down!

Netizens have short memories, but if Florence Warner keeps acting all high and mighty, she’ll just drown in everyone’s spit!

...

Florence Warner hated it, but there was nothing else she could do. She had to agree!

When the time came, a flock of reporters swarmed in.

This time, Fiona Vaughn had learned her lesson, only inviting friendly media from ASC Television.

"Ms. Warner, do you have anything to say about this incident?"

"I...I..."

Florence Warner couldn’t squeeze out a single tear. Desperate to look pitiful, she glanced pleadingly at Fiona Vaughn.

Fiona cursed her mother for being useless. Her own pale lips trembled twice before tears started rolling down in big fat drops, like a battered flower in a downpour.

"Boohoo...please, don’t make things hard for my mother... You’ve all seen her face..."

"My mother’s face was ruined by my sister. If it weren’t for her, my mom would never have lost her way like this."

"But at the last moment, Mom came to her senses. She never really let my sister drink the drugged tea. My mom has a soft heart, how could she ever hurt my sister..."

Fiona Vaughn wept as she spoke, giving nearly an hour-long interview with the reporters.

Florence Warner truly couldn’t talk her way out of anything, but with that badly burned face, Fiona figured it was enough.

When the interview video went online, she confidently checked the comments—only to find it was all negative feedback.

—How is that called being soft? If she was really kind, why buy that kind of drug?

—Yeah, and still trying to blame the eldest Miss Vaughn for the burned face? If it’s true, why didn’t Warner call the police, why wait until now?

—Strongly request Fiona Vaughn get out of showbiz! Stealing her sister’s boyfriend and still having the nerve to get engaged!

—Her mom is even worse. How does she have the face to be seen in public?

...

Fiona’s eyes turned bloodshot as she scrolled.

Who the hell is behind this smear campaign?

Thousands of comments, and not a single positive one in the top twenty!

Grinding her teeth, Fiona finally decided to spend money and buy herself some internet trolls for PR.

But after asking three companies, not one of them would take the job!

Now Fiona really felt like she was about to cough up blood—but things were about to get even worse!

...

Ms. Warner from ASC Television walked over and shot her a haughty sideways glance.

"Miss Fiona, your work performance has been off lately. For the next three months, you don’t need to attend any events!"

"Oh, and by the way—that luxury perfume endorsement? Because you’re plagued by negative press, it’s been reassigned to Andy."

Fiona stood there frozen, a chill running down her spine.

Was she...getting banished by the company?!
