Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 289

Amber thought Makenna would break down after waking up and knowing what had happened to her.

It seemed she had been overly optimistic and underestimated Makenna's shamelessness.

Of course, Makenna was a vicious woman. How could she break down just because of such torture? She would become crazier instead.

As she thought, Amber pressed her red lips. She picked up the phone and tabbed to read Makenna's social media page and saw the status that she had posted earlier.

Her status had been listed in the trends. The total comments and reposts had exceeded a million. Even some KOLs were giving their opinions on this matter.

Amber tapped to read the comments with an annoyed look. Seeing the comments that were comforting Makenna, she felt her stomach turn.

Trenton's video earlier had almost whitewashed Makenna. After this status was posted, Makenna had made herself a victim ultimately. Except for those who knew her true colors or disliked her, no one would laugh at her for being bullied. They all pitied her and felt sorry for her.

Amber had to admit that Makenna was Trenton's daughter indeed. She had the same skills to whitewash herself.

"Ha..." Amber sneered and didn't continue reading the comments. She quitted Makenna's social media page and logged in to her own account.

As soon as she logged in, the message tone kept ringing. The popped messages even made her phone die for a minute before it returned to work.

When Amber saw over a hundred private messages, her heart sank.

She tabbed the private messages, only to find vicious curses and offensive emojis. Her face tightened, but she didn't feel surprised. She had expected it to happen.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have logged in to her own account.

In the status posted by Makenna, she directly said Amber was the one who plotted against her, so the public had believed her. They went to Amber's comment section to attack her.

Later, Amber posted a tweet as well.

It was one simple sentence: I didn't do anything and I don't need to prove my innocence @MakennaGardner

Seeing her denial, no one believed Amber. Instead, they cursed her more. With some trolls deliberately adding fuel to the fire, thousands of insults had flooded her comment section within several minutes.

Seeing that, Amber bit her lower lip. In the end, she felt irritated and quit the social media platform. Out of sight, out of mind.

Right then, her phone rang.

Amber took a look at the number. It was a local phone number.

She hesitated for a moment and swiped to answer, "Hello?"

"Hello. Is that Ms. Reed?" a woman asked.

"Yes, this is she," Amber answered while rubbing her eyebrows.

The woman turned out to be overexcited when hearing Amber admit her identity. "Hello, Ms. Reed. I'm from Sona Media. Ms. Gardner accused you of being the mastermind of her assault. What's your opinion about it?"

Upon hearing it, Amber tightened her grip on the phone, looking angry. "How did you know my phone number?" she asked.

The woman was taken aback for a bit. Then she ignored Amber's questions and urged her impatiently, "Ms. Reed, please answer my question. Did you hire someone to bully Ms. Gardner for real?"

Amber directly hung up the phone with a stern look.

She couldn't talk to such a kind of reporter. If she did, the reporter would keep asking all sorts of tough questions.

Hence, it was unnecessary to continue the conversation.

Besides, she blocked this number to avoid receiving another call from this reporter.

However, as soon as she blocked the number, her phone rang again. It was a call from another local number.

Amber guessed the woman earlier had changed her number and called her, or probably, it was another reporter.

Hence. She directly hung it up and blocked the number.

However, it wasn't the end yet. In the following hours, all kinds of unknown local numbers kept calling her. Some netizens even texted her to curse her. Amber felt exhausted.

She wished to directly turn off her phone, but she had to tolerate it when thinking of her clients and business partners who might call her occasionally. She just ignored those calls and messages.

"Excuse me, Ms. Reed." Sheila walked in with a panicked look.

Amber opened her eyes. "Yes?"

"Ms. Reed, several netizens arrived downstairs. They sent you a lot of blades and wreaths..." Sheila glanced at her and answered in a low voice.

Amber's face turned cold, feeling extremely angry and aggrieved.

She hadn't done anything, but she had to bear those blames and curses.

Looking at her trembling body, Sheila asked with concerns, "Are you alright, Ms. Reed?"

Amber answered, "I'm fine. Please send the security guards to catch all the netizens who have sent me death threats and send them to the police station."

"Okay, Ms. Reed," Sheila answered immediately. Then she thought about something and added, "Another thing. This matter has raised an uproar online. Goldstone's stock price was reduced harshly. Mr. Delgado said you must resolve this problem ASAP, or he'll ask you to give him back the management power."

"Bernardo Delgado!" Amber patted the desk in anger and stood up. "Now the Goldstone's stock market is in turbulence, but he didn't think of stabilizing it at all. Instead, he only thought of snatching back the management power."

"That's his style, isn't it?" Sheila also nodded in anger. The next second, she looked down." This time, almost all the senior executives support Mr. Delgado. After all, you were involved in this matter this time. They believe it's your fault to bring trouble to Goldstone, so they are planning to hold the general meeting of shareholders to redecide if you are qualified to get the half management power."

Amber's lips parted. She couldn't utter any word.

She couldn't deny it. After all, it was her fault to cause the Goldstone's stock market plunge.

Although she didn't do anything to Makenna, the latter pushed all the blames to her, and she had no way to prove her innocence.

Unless Elias could stand out. After all, he was the real manipulator behind the scene.

As she thought of it, Amber pinched her nose bridge and said in a tiring tone, "I got it. Tell Bernardo Delgado. I'll resolve it ASAP."

"Okay, Ms. Reed." Sheila case a worried glance at her and left the office.

Amber picked up her phone and dialed Elias's phone number.

However, no one answered the call. Amber's heart sank.

She wondered if he deliberately refused to answer or was busy.

Amber frowned deeply, her fingers tabbing the desk uneasily.

Suddenly, her phone rang again.

Amber thought it was Elias who called her back when seeing her missed call. She looked delighted and hurriedly picked up the phone.

However, after she saw Hayden's caller ID, the joy on her face stiffened. She heaved a sigh in disappointment and swiped to answer.

Meanwhile, the Farrell Group.

Jared just stepped out of the conference room after a meeting. Ben walked to him with a solemn look. "Excuse me, Mr. Farrell. Something happened to Ms. Reed."

"What happened?" Jared paused his paces and asked anxiously.

Ben pushed up his glasses and answered, "Makenna posted a tweet, declaring that Ms. Reed had hired someone to assault her. The public have believed it and went to cursed Ms. Reed on her social media page. Some even went to Goldstone to send her death threats. The reporters also went there to bother Ms. Reed."
