Chapter 475: Chapter 467: The Augustine Family’s Crimes Exposed to the Public

Rob belatedly realized: "The captain didn’t tell you anything?"

Josh didn’t want to speak anymore.

Rob shrunk his neck, oh no, he seems to have ruined the captain’s little romantic moment.

He cleared his throat: "Qiao Xixi, can you promise me one thing?"

Josh looked at him expressionlessly.

Rob: "Please, absolutely, act as if you never heard this."

Josh pointed behind him: "Do you want to take a look back?"

Rob suddenly felt a surge of killing intent coming from behind and started to run.

With a dull thud.

Rob whimpered, holding the bump on his head, looked pitifully at Yuze, who was stepping on him: "Captain, I know I was wrong..."

Yuze’s face was dark: "Too late."

Rob was about to cry: "Captain, don’t be mad, a good man doesn’t fight with a woman, you wouldn’t hit a woman, right?"

Seeing Yuze unmoved, he changed tactics and turned to Josh for help: "Look at him! He’d rather focus on my mistake than be the first to apologize to you, he doesn’t love you enough!"

With a thud, Rob was thrown downstairs.

He quickly spread his wings and whizzed away.

A battle was about to ensue, he must quickly get away from the battlefield.

Yuze cleared his throat, looking in Josh’s direction: "Uh, I didn’t mean to deceive you."

Josh laughed angrily: "How rare, watching me each time after coming out of the instance, accounting for when I can pay off your money, afraid of using too much money, leaving you strapped."

Yuze knew he shouldn’t laugh, but couldn’t help bending his lips slightly: "I really know I was wrong, I shouldn’t have deceived you, but watching you seriously calculating was just too cute."

Josh cast a web, trying to hang him up from head to toe.

Yuze quickly turned and vanished.

The two of them went back and forth, their figures flickered and paused repeatedly on the third floor.

The chandelier was stepped on by Yuze, wobbling precariously, only to be caught by Josh’s web and pulled down forcefully, rendering it completely ruined and falling.

There was no one below, only the shattered remains of the crystal chandelier.

"Josh! Yuze! You little brats, what are you doing again? Get down here!" Ma Qi’s heart-wrenching roar came from downstairs.

The next day.

Josh handed the video she made to Joyce, who was a pro at public relations.

As long as Joyce had the video, he naturally knew what to do.

Sure enough, a few days ago, the internet was abuzz with rumors about Josh and Xue Guo, and Xue Guo even came forward to respond regarding wedding date matters.

But on that day, a clarification video from the official account of the Mysterious Guild shot up to trending, followed closely by Josh’s personal account sharing the clarification.

The entire interstellar network exploded.

The clarification video showed Josh confronting the Augustine family.

Glennan admitted that the so-called engagement was made behind Josh’s back, and that Josh wasn’t aware of it, so the engagement couldn’t be valid.

Meanwhile, Josh also included Susanna’s remarks.

Susanna’s attitude of disregard towards Marquis Grant’s family and Cherry’s nonsensical babbling.

Joyce released the video without cuts, so the entire confrontation was basically exposed.

In addition, it included the previous conversations between Josh and Cherry.

Cherry admitted to abandoning Josh on the Garbage Star after giving birth to her, and also confessed to hiring fans to attack Josh.

After Josh shared it, she also effectively played the victim card.

Captioned: [The fault isn’t with the Garbage Star, but with those irresponsible people who abandon others there. The Garbage Star isn’t dirty; dirty are those who dump trash there without dealing with the aftermath.]

This statement resonated deeply with countless civilians on the Garbage Star, who fervently shared Josh’s and the official’s clarification video, liking and supporting Josh.

Soon, Josh’s background was fully unearthed.

Claimed as a lady of the Augustine family, but she was left on the Garbage Star since birth, found only when she was 15, and was not favored at home.

Following this, countless people claiming to be servants or friends of the Augustine family emerged, describing in detail how Cherry unfairly treated and abused Josh.

Incident after incident, even more comprehensive than Josh’s own memory.

Josh’s fans rose up in fury, and her fanbase being naturally combative, they launched a mad assault on the Augustine family, including Granel City.

Netizens expressed that abandoning a newborn is a grave crime, on the Federation Planet, it’s punishable as murder.

Though the mastermind was Cherry, Glennan was an accomplice; even if not sentenced to death, he should face life imprisonment.

Glennan, not being stupid, quickly retorted, claiming that the Augustine family’s losing of Josh was accidental.

He even presented evidence of their efforts through the years to find Josh.

But soon it was uncovered that the evidence was fabricated.

This counterattack not only failed to redeem the Augustine family but instead exposed their guilty conscience.

The Marquis Grant family, also deceived, became furious.

Initially intending to hold Josh accountable, they found that the wind of public opinion had suddenly shifted online.

They had no choice but to brace themselves, act benevolently, and join the righteous netizens in condemning the Augustine family, clearly stating they won’t force Josh, and whether the engagement would be renewed depends entirely on Josh’s wishes with no pressure.

This saved Marquis Grant’s honor, avoiding unwarranted harm from the netizens.

Within a day, Josh’s followers increased by over two hundred thousand, all moms and justice warriors, and even those who bashed her when she first entered the game.

Josh’s popularity even showed signs of surpassing Yuze, who was in first place.

Ma Qi and Joyce, in front of the Smart Brain, couldn’t help but be shocked by the uncovered stories of Josh’s childhood by netizens.

No wonder when they first saw Josh, she was so thin and weak like a child who hadn’t grown up.

Back then, they found it odd, Augustine family, after all, an Earl’s house, how could their child be so frail.

After her health check, they thought it was the wound on Josh’s chest causing it, without thinking too much.

Additionally, without thorough investigation, they only knew Josh was an Augustine’s daughter, not favored, her parents biased towards others.

They thought this was the extent. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Who would have known, it wasn’t just favoritism, it was simply abuse.

On Federation Planet, genuine marriages were rare.

The number of newborn babies was also sparse.

Whether abandoning infants or abusing minors, these are extremely serious crimes.

But in a remote asteroid like Granel City, maybe it was due to underdevelopment, and with Glennan as mayor, it was well concealed, and no one discovered the Augustine family’s abnormalities.

They even gained a good reputation for adopting an extra child...
