Capítulo 158
“Yes, she’s the one!”
Everyone in the elevator turned to look at Chelsea after hearing the women’s statements.
They instantly recognized her. Sof them pointed at her and looked at her with disgust. Their words couldn't be any harsher. In the face of the cruel curses from these strangers, Chelsea’s face slowly turned pale and tears welled up in her eyes.
Since she was a little girl, she had never made mockery or insulted anyone. She always treated everyone with kindness, so she was utterly stunned that people could be so mean to her now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNever had she experienced getting hounded by anyone. It was a first-texperience for her, so she was shocked that cyberbullies could confront her in reality. When she read the harsh comments online, she had been angry. Now she was not only angry, but also embarrassed and terrified.
Once the elevator stopped at one of the floors, she wriggled away from the crowd and fled out even though this wasn’t the floor where Chris's office was.
Someone in the elevator took the hatred for her too far. She was pushed just when she was about to walk out, so she tripped and almost fell flat on the floor. Her eyes turned red with anger immediately.
In a trice, she turned around, intending to give the person that pushed her a piece of her mind. But she couldn't tell who it was. Everyone in the elevator was staring at her with disdainful expressions. Seven made mean faces at her before the doors swooshed shut. She was treated as if she was an unpardonable sinner.
Chelsea didn’t dare to take another elevator. Walking in the midst of several people was out of the question because she would be setting herself up to be bullied again if more people recognized her. With her head lowered, she ran to the staircase and called Chris. She asked him to send the report down.
Chris was confused on the other end of the line. “Why do you wantto send the result down to the fifth floor? Why don’t you just cup?”
“| can’t explain now. Just helpbring it down. It’s urgent!” Chelsea pleaded with a choked voice. When Chris noticed this, he grabbed the result and went downstairs immediately.
“What's wrong, Chelsea?” Chris immediately questioned her worriedly after he located her at the spandrel of the staircase. He then pulled her to a quiet spot at the end of the corridor.
With her head still lowered, Chelsea filled Chris in on what was going on. He was so angry that he snapped, “People are becoming more and more senseless by the day. How can they believe such lies without hearing your side of the story? Cyberbullying is really eating deep into the society. Brainless lots!”
Chris was appalled by people’s reactions to what was happening. How could they be so unfair?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“My heart goes out to you, Chelsea. Letdrive you home.” Chris feared that more people would hound her if they saw her in public, so he offered to take her hhimself.
“Okay, thank you.” Chelsea immediately agreed, still quivering with anger.
On the way, Chris asked Chelsea, “You need to shut down this slanderous rumor. How do you intend on doing that?”
“Well, Mr. Pierce has said he would helpdo that in the nof the company. I'll also make use of the paternity test result,” Chelsea honestly replied.
Luka called her as soon as the video went viral. He told her to go get the test result, while he did all he could by stating the company’s stance on the matter.
He had said that the photo a tweep posted was taken when she was waiting for the elevator. Thus, it was obvious that the person who took the photo worked in the sbuilding where Peak Entertainment was located. There was also a high probability that it was one of the employees.
Chris coughed and asked in surprise, “Luka is going to help you?”
Although Chelsea had no idea why Chris reacted that way, she explained, “Yes, someone found out that I’m an employee of Peak Entertainment. Speople are calling for my sack, so Mr. Pierce wants to put out a statement declaring support for me. That way, people will know the company’s standpoint on the matter. It would also help kill the rumor to sextent.”
Chris didn’t know what to say when he heard this.
