Chapter 794
After clicking in a few minutes later, she noticed that there were thousands of replies to her comment not including those from her paid trolls.
She was shocked at how immense the response was.
Evidently. Arielle was extremely influential online.
At that moment, Wendy had mixed feelings over the entire matter.
How can Arielle attract so much attention online?
It’s one thing for her to be popular in real life, but to wield so much influence online really makes her an eyesore.
However, Wendy quickly regained her composure. After all, Arielle wasn’t being popular right now for the right reasons such as her piano performance or translations. Instead, it was due to the heartless actions of her father.
The comments about her must be negative.
However…
“That‘s right! Henrick Southall! Isn‘t he the Chairman of Southall Group who kicked my goddess out of the family?”
Wendy nodded. “That‘s him! Arielle‘s dad, Henrick Southall!”
However, the next comment wrote:
“She doesn‘t need a useless dad like him. Perhaps, she was kicked because she didn‘t agree with his actions.”
“That must be what happened. Given how virtuous she looks, she must have a heart of gold too. Therefore, she must have been chased out of the family because she tried to stop Henrick.”
“My goddess is so kind and pitiful. Boohoo! I swear I will protect her no matter what!”
Widening her eyes, Wendy was baffled.
“What‘s going on? Why is this happening? This must be an outlying spastic comment.”
Seized by hysteria, Wendy scrolled further down to read the comments. However, all of them were either sympathizing with Arielle or asserting that she wasn’t in league with Henrick.
Trembling in rage, she staggered backward and knocked onto the bathroom countertop. It almost caused her to lose her balance and fall.
Holding onto the washbasin, she seethed with anger.
What‘s wrong with netizens nowadays? She had never met a group that was so difficult to manipulate.
Wallowing in her misery, Wendy was sick of looking at her phone.
Unknown to her, she had missed a separate fast-rising trending topic.
While she was raining her fists hysterically onto the countertop, the school bell rang.
Regaining her composure, she rushed back into class,
So what if Arielle has won over the netizens? At the end of the day, hasn‘t she chosen to skip class out of embarrassment? The monthly exam is right around the corner. After missing so many sessions, she would likely be kicked out of preparatory class by Donovan if she doesn‘t make it to the top twenty. By then, I‘ll post her results online and her reputation as a top student will be ruined. Therefore, I have to be patient.
By the time Wendy returned to class, Donovan hadn’t arrived yet.
After taking her seat, she asked her classmate curiously, “Why is Mr. Baxter late again? Doesn’t he always come into class before the bell?”
Her classmate shook her head. “I don‘t know. He seems distracted ever since he got married. Perhaps, he is enjoying marriage so much that he doesn‘t want to get out of bed.”
Stunned, Wendy asked, “Since when did he get married? Why didn‘t I hear about it?”
The classmate shrugged. “Everyone in school knows about it. Why haven’t you heard? Before this, there were rumors online about Donovan getting together with Queenie Mill, the famous doctor. The school insisted that he take responsibility for his actions before allowing him to come back and teach. Subsequently, both of them registered their marriage the next day. Since he has just gotten married, it’s natural that he is less focused on us.”
“However, we’re already in the second period of the afternoon.” Feeling upset, Wendy furrowed her eyebrows.
