"Useless, that girl is a fan of the Doe, and they have a deep relationship, otherwise she wouldn’t have come to her house directly to help guard the door."
Evelyn Clayton spoke slowly, her eyes flickering, "Moreover, she obviously acted on Doe’s instructions. As soon as she sees us coming, she’ll record it and make it public, making netizens think Gem’s people are coming to hassle and stir up trouble."
Yara Reagan was quite angry: "So what do we do next?"
"Didn’t she record it?" Evelyn Clayton chuckled lightly and took out the phone she’d been holding.
She unlocked her phone screen, revealing that the recording indicator was still showing it was recording.
Yara Reagan was a bit puzzled: "Huh? What does this mean?"
"In case that girl edits the video before releasing it, at least we’ll have evidence." Evelyn Clayton said casually, pressing the pause button, "We can start our actions officially after she posts the video."
Yara Reagan slowly understood: "You mean, to ride the wave of that girl’s actions, and then—"
"Exactly. Tell Rhys Jacobs to have the publicity team ready. As soon as we see a video of us online, release clarifying evidence. The attitude must be modest and sincere, first admit mistakes, then provide evidence that we didn’t make hastily tailored clothes."
Yara Reagan clapped excitedly: "So your plan is to go all in, waiting for the fever pitch of public opinion to change everyone’s view of Gem!"
Evelyn Clayton smiled, which counted as agreement.
Currently, the online backlash against Gem and Evelyn Clayton has reached its peak. In the internet age, information is updated every minute and second. The discussion about her and Gem hanging on so long is not only because someone is manipulating behind the scenes, but also because netizens are indeed sensitive to such matters.
Moreover, after the incident, neither Gem’s official account nor Evelyn Clayton’s personal account clarified the situation, nor did they engage in a public spat with the side that exposed them, which made netizens feel that this matter was true.
But Evelyn Clayton chose a different path.
She didn’t want to tear anyone down, even bringing Doe into the same camp, showing the lowest posture and most sincere frame, letting netizens see Gem convincing others with virtue and evidence.
Back in the car, Yara Reagan excitedly contacted Rhys Jacobs, rattling off what had happened.
Rhys Jacobs quickly understood Evelyn Clayton’s strategy, continuously reassuring her to rest easy.
Meanwhile, feeling a bit fatigued, Evelyn Clayton sat in the back seat, unable to resist checking her phone several times.
Keith Donovan said, tonight...
Her mind was in chaos, and just as Evelyn Clayton realized her anticipation of meeting James Grant, her phone suddenly vibrated.
It was a message from Keith Donovan.
"Ten o’clock tonight, Yuehai Phoenix!"
Keith Donovan seemed to be in high spirits, with a ’shy kitty’ emoji following the message.
Evelyn Clayton laughed, shaking her head.
"Phew, finally caught a break." Yara Reagan, done with the call, relaxed quite a bit, "Will we be able to sleep well tonight?"
The past couple of days, neither of them had slept well. Fresh chapters posted on novel⚑fire.net
Evelyn Clayton nodded: "Come sleep over at mine, I’m going out tonight."
Yara Reagan puzzled: "Huh? Where to?"
"To grab a meal," Evelyn Clayton replied vaguely, her expression somewhat evasive.
Yara Reagan eyed her suspiciously, and seeing Evelyn Clayton remain silent, she leaned over directly for a look.
"Keith Donovan?!" Yara Reagan exclaimed, "What’s he asking you out for?!"
