Chapter 487 - 484: Exposure

In the past few days, Silas Sinclair and Liana Marsh had also witnessed the power of the internet.

They knew they could use public opinion to make Chloe Sinclair yield.

They had originally thought that once the video was posted, many online users would support them.

So after filming the video, they gleefully watched some TV, waiting for online users to pressure Chloe Sinclair into breaking her silence and complying.

Half an hour later, when they opened the short-video app and saw the comment section, their faces turned deathly pale.

Contrary to their expectations, the comment section was filled with a torrent of curses.

Moreover, many users had even tagged the police’s official account.

The comment section—

"Heh, I couldn’t believe the recording was fake at first, but I didn’t expect you to walk right into the trap yourself."

"I’m speechless. Someone call the cops."

"Isn’t this already a crime? Your whole family should just go to jail."

"You still want our little sister to donate bone marrow to your kid, so why don’t you donate? ’No harm’? Even if there’s no harm, she’s not donating to that good-for-nothing son of yours."

"Just tag the police. They need to thoroughly investigate this whole thing from start to finish and give our little sister the justice she deserves."

"’If you don’t want anyone to know, don’t do it.’ And you still lied to us, saying you didn’t receive any money? Did you just pocket that two million?!"

Many people felt they had been used as pawns by the couple, and it left a very bad taste in their mouths.

More than anything, they felt apologetic toward Chloe Sinclair.

As a result, they flocked to Chloe Sinclair’s social media page to apologize.

Chloe Sinclair glanced at her social media, didn’t say anything, and simply turned off her phone.

She let out a soft sigh.

In her past life, she never received a single apology, right up until the day she died.

But now, looking at the tens of thousands of apologies, she felt nothing at all.

The apologies had come too late.

But because of this incident, Chloe Sinclair’s fans and the onlookers who had been used turned their outrage directly on Silas Sinclair and Liana Marsh.

And information that had originally been well-hidden was unexpectedly dug up by many online users.

Among the revelations, Chloe Sinclair’s middle and high schools collectively came out to refute the rumors.

The two schools Chloe Sinclair had attended didn’t have official social media pages, so they could only post clarifications on their official websites. Later, when the situation blew up, they also tried to contact the media with the story, but at the time, the media had completely ignored them.

The reason it was discovered was that some furious users had dug it up.

"I’m not really on social media; I heard about this through my friends’ feeds. The name Chloe Sinclair sounded familiar, so I downloaded the app to take a look. I’m here to clear up a rumor. It’s true that from seventh to ninth grade, Chloe Sinclair’s grades were terrible—almost last in her class. But everyone knew she was a very diligent student, and we all thought she was smart. It was just that her test scores were often very low. However, in the year of the high school entrance exams, Chloe Sinclair got the top score in her entire grade and the entire city, getting into the best high school in our city."

"She should have been interviewed for this. The school never expected Chloe Sinclair to score so high, so they all rushed to her house. They even brought a large sum of money for her parents. But when they got there, Chloe was gone. They eventually found out she had gone to work in another city."

"You might think it was to support her family, but it wasn’t. Her brother didn’t do well on his exams and could only get into a private vocational high school. The tuition was over 30,000 a year, and her family didn’t have that kind of money. So they made Chloe Sinclair go out and work, with no intention of letting her continue her education."

"When the reporters and school administrators found her, she was at a construction site, earning over 300 a day. By then, she had already been working there for almost twenty days. No one could have imagined that a fifteen-year-old girl could last that long on a construction site."
