Chapter 57

"Oh my God, this woman looks so young, but she's with such an old man. She must be his mistress, right?"

"Exactly. Looking at that silhouette, she really does look like the daughter the Taylor family just found. Could it really be her? The Taylor family is so rich, why would she need to be someone's mistress?"

"Who knows? Maybe the Taylor family doesn't like her, so she found an old man as her backer. It's disgusting just to look at."

"Who is this old man? How capable is he of keeping the Taylor family's daughter?"

Freya looked at the abusive comments and couldn't stop grinning: Evelyn, your day has come. Let's see how you get out of this one!

She even registered several fake accounts to stir things up in the comments, saying she knew Evelyn and it was definitely her. She also claimed that Evelyn was already restless when she was with the Thomas family, and now that she's back with the Taylor family, she's gotten even worse.

At this moment, Evelyn had already returned to the Taylor Mansion. As soon as she opened her phone, this post was pushed to her feed.

Seeing the maliciously distorted photo, Evelyn's expression darkened. These people could make up so many stories based on just one photo.

Reading the comments that twisted the truth below the post, Evelyn felt somewhat irritated. It wasn't that she cared about people slandering her, but she felt bad for dragging Terrence into this.

Terrence was a highly respected medical authority, and he was being misunderstood like this. She felt really guilty about it.

Evelyn registered an account and posted a brief statement: "The photo is false, this is malicious slander. Evidence has been preserved. Legal action will be taken against those spreading rumors. Court summonses are on the way."

As soon as the post went up, people immediately commented, mostly mocking her, saying she was guilty and that's why she was saying such things.

Evelyn didn't bother with them. She knew that saying more now wouldn't help. Once she presented evidence later, it would clear both her and Terrence's names.

When William saw the post, his expression instantly turned cold.

He recognized at a glance that the old man in the photo was Terrence, and the scene was clearly from when they had dinner together. The person who took the photo only captured Terrence and Evelyn, but didn't include him. The photographer's intention was obvious.

The more William looked, the angrier he got. He immediately had Chase arrange for online supporters to control the comments and delete posts, and also requested the restaurant's surveillance footage. He posted photos showing that he was there too.

"Regarding the online comments about my fiancée, Ms. Taylor, they are pure fabrication."

"The person dining with us was Mr. Terrence Wheeler. He came specifically to discuss medical matters because he admires Ms. Taylor's medical skills. Yet this has been maliciously twisted into rumors, which is completely unacceptable. The Brown family will strictly pursue all legal responsibilities of those spreading rumors."

This statement immediately caused a sensation online. Not only did the Brown Group's official account post to clarify the situation, but people wanting to curry favor with the Brown family all reposted it, completely burying those slanderous photos.

Public opinion instantly reversed. Those who had previously mocked and slandered Evelyn apologized one after another. Some people began to get curious about Evelyn's medical skills, wanting to know just how skilled she was to earn Terrence's admiration.

Just then, a netizen commented: "I think I recognize this Evelyn! Last time at the hospital, I saw her save a critically ill elderly lady. Her technique was really professional. Many people were helpless at the time, but she stabilized the lady's condition as soon as she stepped in. Now that I think about it, that elderly lady seemed to be Mrs. Gwendolyn Brown!"

As soon as this comment was posted, it was immediately pushed to the top.

"What? Mrs. Gwendolyn Brown? The one who was seriously ill for a long time, whom even Terrence couldn't help?"

"I must have been blind to misunderstand such an amazing person. I'm sorry, Evelyn!"

"The daughter of the Taylor family is just so talented and has such amazing medical skills. The Taylor family is so blessed!"

The comment section completely changed tone, full of admiration and apologies for Evelyn. Some people even started digging into Evelyn's background, and the more they found, the more impressed they were. They all became her fans.

Meanwhile, Freya watched the online opinion reverse and angrily threw her phone on the ground, her face ashen and her whole body shaking.

"Impossible! How could this happen?" Freya screamed, her eyes full of unwillingness and anger.

She had thought she could ruin Evelyn's reputation, but instead, Evelyn became famous and admired by everyone, while she became a laughingstock.

She picked up her phone and called Amelia. As soon as the call connected, she started yelling at her.

"Amelia! Did you do this on purpose? You clearly knew that the old man was Terrence. Why didn't you tell me? You just wanted to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you?"

On the other end, Amelia heard Freya's angry roar and showed a cold smile, but pretended to sound innocent: "Freya, don't be angry. How could I deliberately not tell you? I only just found out that the old man was Terrence."

She paused, then continued: "Freya, I know you're angry, but don't worry. Even though Evelyn didn't get her reputation ruined this time, there will be other chances."

Freya was shaking with anger, but couldn't find a reason to argue back.

"Besides, I have some good news for you." Amelia's tone softened a bit, with a hint of temptation. "Isn't the Thomas family about to go bankrupt? Your dad and brother are going crazy with worry. I've already taken care of this for you. I've invested ten million dollars in the Thomas Group as an angel investor. That's enough for the Thomas Group to recover and start over."

Freya froze for a moment. The anger on her face dissipated somewhat, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes: "Are you telling the truth? You really invested ten million dollars in the Thomas Group?"

"Of course it's true," Amelia said with a smile. "When have I ever lied to you? Freya, don't worry. I'll always help you. As long as you cooperate with me, we'll definitely be able to ruin Evelyn and leave her with nothing."

Freya's anger was mostly dispersed by this ten million dollars. What she cared about most now was the Thomas family. As long as the Thomas family could recover, she would still have a chance for revenge.

She took a deep breath, suppressed her unwillingness, and said, "Okay, I trust you. I'll listen to you from now on. We must ruin Evelyn!"

"That's right," Amelia's lips curved into an imperceptible cold smile. "Alright, calm down first and think carefully about what to do next. If anything comes up, call me anytime."

Freya agreed, and after hanging up, she quickly called Mason to confirm.

The phone was answered quickly, and Mason's voice was full of barely concealed excitement, several degrees louder than usual: "Freya? Why are you calling? Is something wrong?"

Freya's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Dad, I heard someone invested ten million dollars in the Thomas Group. Is it true? How is the Thomas Group doing now?"

"It's true! Of course it's true!" Mason's voice became even more excited. "The funds arrived yesterday afternoon. The Thomas Group, which was about to collapse, has finally recovered. We can pay back the suppliers now."
