.........

The night breeze was blowing past the treetops. It was very quiet.

Against the moonlight, with exquisite jaw and the outstanding contour of his face, the man's side face looked more handsome.

Staring at her, Ford said in a deep voice, "Julia, you don't have to be so polite with me."

Julia was stunned. The man's voice rang out again, sounding calm and determined. "You can rely on me anytime."

His words reminded Julia that she seemed to have gotten used to being strong and independent and that so she seldom relied on others.

Thus, her refusal of his help had nothing to do with manners. She was really used to it.

Ford suddenly grabbed her left hand, entwining his cold slender fingers with hers.

He said determinedly as if he were performing some sort of solemn rituals.

"Don't do this."

Having managed to work for her hand free, Julia looked at him with bewilderment. "This isn't like you."

Her words discourage him to say further.

Julia didn't care. She turned and left. After taking a few steps, she stopped. Turning around, she said, "I mean what I said before. I feel good that we don't get entangled with each other."

She said determinedly. Without pause, she turned and got into the car.

Standing motionlessly, Ford clenched his hands tightly under his sleeves. An indescribable feeling descended on him, causing him to be unable to breathe.

After a while, he regained his coldness and catch up with her, "Have it checked if those people get involved." after that he left without waiting any of her reply.

....

In the car, Julia came to an awareness that she was still wearing Ford's coat, which had been soiled. Ford had a fetish for cleanliness. Julia thought it would be better to wash it before asking Marvin to return it.

She was in no mood for pondering on what Ford had just said a while ago. She logged on her Twitter, finding that the most two hottest topics were about her.

Marvin explained aside, "Two videos have been posted. One is about your beating someone in a car, and the other is about forcing a girl kneeling down. The video with the former content was posted first. After netizens found out that you were related, a netizen called 'Rabbit' provided the second video."

'Rabbit' also posted a long comment, saying that Julia was a beautiful but vile person who abused staffs at will. 'Rabbit' felt that she should tell the public about this matter. The essay with about one thousand words seemed to be well—founded.

Marvin continued, "This is just the beginning. What's worse, Cindy openly gave a like to this post. Then a twitter user, verified to be Sandy, post a comment about what happened, which made this news to be the hottest topic."

Narrowing her eyes, Julia clicked on the hottest post, which was written by Sandy.

In the post was stated,["First of all, thank you for your concern. I'm a nobody, but I have never expected I would attract everyone's attention. This matter happened many days ago. Originally, we didn't dare to say anything. But you have given me encouragement to tell you about it. I hope no one else will be hurt like me..."]

As Julia read the post, she was more disappointed, as if she and Sandy were performing the play about the farmer and that ungrateful snake.

And the post continued with ["Right now, my aunt and I don't dare to go out. I'm just a girl from a poor mountain village, afraid of retribution..."]

Julia sneered. Then she turned back to her latest propaganda news, below which there were more than 200,000 comments.

As expected they were all nothing but insults.

"I'm serious. I hope that you will die soon!"

"I wish you die tonight b*tch!"

"How damn disgusting you are! After slapping Sandy, you even forced Sandy to kneel down!"

"I just want you to know that I have just followed your Twitter so as to scold you. After scolding you, I'll cancel my attention!"

"Julia hasn't responded yet. Who knows if it's true or false? I don't believe it. It must be a rumor."

"The netizen posting the former comment must be blind. Can't you see Julia slapped that girl, who even knelt down and begged her with tears in her eyes? Those are all high—definition videos! Stop putting in a good word for her!"

"Who wants to slap this bitch with me? I'll be willing to be detained for at most 15 days!"

Julia couldn't help but laugh at their stupidity.

"I'll go with you! I can slap her and make her cry!"

"I'm so happy that so many people cursed her!"

Julia looked at these familiar curses, as if she had returned to the days when she was under attack. The comment area had directly turned into a paradise for the people who hated her. Anyway, they didn't need to be responsible for their comments, so they can curse as much as they could.

She logged out without saying a word.

Marvin was very angry. "Unbelievable! Sandy appears to be pure. I have never expected that she would do such a disgusting thing. She made up everything."

Julia just hung her head. Marvin didn't know what she was thinking.

However, he had no choice but to continue telling her some bad news.

He scratched his head. "The video about sports meeting isn't accessible to the public now. A few companies made it clear that they would stop cooperating with you, saying they wouldn't invite you to be up in their shows or plays. As for the programs you have recorded, the party concerned haven't made any response yet, but we still need to be prepared."

Marvin didn't say what to prepare, but everyone understood.

If the variety shows and the program that had been recorded cannot be broadcast on TV, the organizers wouldn't shoulder the loss.

Then, Julia would receive letters from counsels claiming compensation.

The more Marvin thought about it, the angrier he became. But what he should do now was to find substantial evidence to solve the problem.

Just now, he contacted the program crew. That day, there was only one camera diagonally opposite the lounge in the corner. In other words, Sandy's feign act had managed to gotten filmed but Julia who was splashed with scorching coffee wasn't.

How ironic.

Not to mentioned what happened on the train. First, the train's surveillance couldn't be easily accessed. Then, the video was shot by a mobile phone. It only captured Julia hitting an old man. The train was so noisy that it was impossible to hear what Julia said before hitting that wretched hag.

Julia thought that both the time and the misleading public opinion seemed to have been planned in advance.

It was obvious that someone was trying to trick her, taking advantage of this opportunity to distort the truth.

She didn't know how she was feeling right now.

Sad?

Hell no.

In the past, when she was under attack, she also tried to explain for herself. However it was no use since nobody listened to her.

This was the time when public opinion decided everything. Sometimes, silence was better than any other way to protect oneself.

After a while, Julie said, "Help me find out where Sandy is now."

After she ordered, Marvin immediately went to handle it. Not long after, he found out that Sandy was currently in a five—star hotel.

Julia sneered. This facade b*tch can even afford to check in a five—star hotel. It seemed like she had hooked a rich man.

"Let's go to confront her."

Marvin asked, "Now?"

Yup now.
