After Divorce I Married a Tycoon-Chapter 75: The Sinclair Family Will Be Forced into a Dead End
"Grandmother..."
Gavin Sinclair hadn’t even finished speaking.
When he was sharply interrupted by Mrs. Sinclair.
"If you continue to be so muddle-headed, I might have to reconsider your status as the Sinclair family heir."
At these words, Rose Gable’s heart skipped a beat.
’The old matriarch wants to change the heir?’
’That’s absolutely unacceptable.’
’There has always been a proper order, with the eldest taking precedence.’
’Their branch of the family is the eldest.’
’And Gavin is their only son.’
’It’s only right and proper for him to inherit the Sinclair Family’s fortune.’
’How could she replace him as heir over something so trivial?’
She immediately rushed to Mrs. Sinclair’s side and said in a panic.
"Mother, please give Gavin some time."
"The boy has always been obedient and filial. Please don’t write him off over something like this."
Mrs. Sinclair ignored Rose Gable, her cloudy eyes fixed firmly on Gavin Sinclair.
She asked, "In any case, Claire Mercer has nothing to do with you anymore, and she despises you."
"Are you sure you want to give up your inheritance of the Sinclair Family for her?"
This question made Gavin Sinclair fall silent.
"Since the beginning of time, those destined for greatness do not get entangled in romance."
"You are the heir to the wealthiest family in Rhonia. You’d better think this through."
Finally, after weighing his options, Gavin Sinclair tossed out a sentence: "Do whatever you want."
Then he wheeled himself away.
Only then did Rose Gable let out a long sigh of relief.
Online, the feud between the Sinclair Family, the Mercer Family, and Claire Mercer was still a hot topic.
The Sinclair Family had also been continuously spending money to whitewash their image.
The legal department also began proceedings to sue Claire Mercer for slander and defamation.
Furthermore, the Sinclair Family’s corporate account directly posted the court summons for Claire Mercer on the platform.
This post from the Sinclair Family’s corporate account instantly reignited the flames of war.
Cynthia Sinclair also logged into her own account to forward the post.
She added a caption:
"The internet is not a lawless land. Don’t think you can sway public opinion and tarnish the Sinclair Family’s name with just your words."
Public opinion was once again led astray.
"The Sinclair Family’s corporate account has entered the fray, confronting Ms. Mercer head-on. Looks like there’s more to this story."
"If the Sinclair Family dares to be this aggressive, it must mean they have a clear conscience. An innocent man has nothing to fear."
"So is Ms. Mercer really just playing the victim to manipulate public opinion?"
"I was almost used as her pawn. Guess you really can’t take sides so easily."
The uninformed onlookers, who were just there for the drama, all started accusing Claire Mercer of playing the victim and maliciously manipulating public opinion.
But some netizens who sympathized with her plight stood up to speak for her.
"What does a summons prove?"
"The fake marriage certificate was real, right?"
"And Sinclair cheating during the marriage was real, right?"
"The Sinclair Family only dares to talk about the accusation that Mrs. Sinclair hired someone to drug and rape her."
"Even if that one thing is fake, does it erase all the other disgusting things the Sinclair Family has done?"
"The Sinclair Family is just trying to muddy the waters. Why won’t they deny the fake marriage certificate and Sinclair’s cheating?"
"Ms. Mercer, come out and hammer the Sinclair Family!"
"Are we going to get a Thor’s hammer?"
"The people cursing Ms. Mercer must be disgusting cheaters themselves, right?"
"Can’t society be a little more lenient with women?"
"They latch onto one point to attack her, but there’s no way to whitewash the cheating and the two years of deception with a fake marriage certificate."
"..."
"Hammer them with what? If she had the evidence, she would’ve used it already."
"Ms. Mercer is just playing dead. She clearly doesn’t have any evidence."
"Making accusations without proof is just slander."
"Even the little princess of the Sinclair family said it: the internet isn’t lawless. Ms. Mercer is about to get sued."
"..."
The two factions online argued endlessly.
Seeing people get swayed by the Sinclair Family’s paid trolls and start spewing all sorts of nasty insults at Claire Mercer, Adrian Sutton’s expression turned terrifyingly dark.
This made Hughes a little flustered.
"Boss, should we increase our efforts to control the comments?"
Adrian Sutton shot him an irritated glance.
"What do you think?"
’Claire is being cursed like that by those brainless people.’
’He wished he could follow the internet cables and sew their mouths shut.’
’So they could never speak again.’
’Even though he had already arranged all the follow-up procedures, he just couldn’t stand hearing anyone say a single bad word about her.’
"Get someone on it right now. I want all of these troll accounts banned."
Hughes thought for a moment and said.
"Boss, the topic is generating so much heat right now."
"If we ban these accounts now, the buzz will definitely die down."
"Then not as many people will be paying attention to the Sinclair Family’s filthy business."
"Wouldn’t that be playing right into the Sinclair Family’s hands?"
Adrian Sutton shot him another look.
"Do you think I would let the buzz die down?"
"Then your meaning is..."
"Ban these troll accounts, but the buzz will remain high."
"Do you think the Sinclair Family will just sit back? Will they let public opinion, which is already against them, continue to ferment?"
Hughes thought about it for a moment and understood his boss’s intention.
"I understand what you mean now."
’The boss wants the Sinclair Family to keep spending money on trolls to whitewash their image.’
’Buy a batch, ban a batch.’
’The buzz doesn’t fade?’
’Keep buying, keep banning.’
’His boss’s move was really a bit vicious.’
’The Sinclair Family was probably going to bleed a lot of money just buying trolls now.’
’And yet, even after spending all that money, it would be useless.’
’But the key was, if they didn’t spend the money, they couldn’t control public opinion.’
’His boss was about to back the Sinclair Family into a corner.’
"What are you standing there for? Get to it."
Hughes nodded and immediately went to contact the platform’s executives.
Meanwhile.
Just as the Sinclair Family thought they had public opinion more or less under control with the trolls they had bought, they discovered that all their purchased trolls had gone silent.
Now, the internet was filled with voices denouncing the Sinclair Family.
This made Felix Sinclair explode with rage.
He immediately contacted the troll farm company and questioned its boss.
"Mr. Ford, what is the meaning of this?"
"I paid you so much money to control public opinion, and what’s the result?"
"Right now, the internet is full of voices denouncing the Sinclair Family. Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?"
With his accounts banned, Mr. Ford, the head of the troll farm, was also furious.
They had been taking jobs for a long time and had never once been banned by the platform.
This time, just because they took the Sinclair Family’s job, the accounts they had cultivated for so long were banned just like that.
How could Mr. Ford not be livid?
"Mr. Sinclair, you’re asking me for an explanation?"
Mr. Ford snorted coldly.
"So many of my accounts have now been permanently banned by the platform, all because I took your job."
"Do you have any idea how much time and energy it takes to cultivate an account?"
"And now, the accounts I worked so hard to build have been banned because of your Sinclair Family. Who am I supposed to complain to?"
"What does your accounts being banned have to do with me?" Felix Sinclair said angrily.
"I paid so much money, and you failed to do the job properly. You owe me an explanation."
"Either you continue to manage the comments for the Sinclair Family online, or you give me my money back."
At these words, Mr. Ford of the troll farm company was so angry he laughed.
