Just as the netizens were about to turn around and criticize Caroline, a bombshell video suddenly appeared on the internet. It was a video of Irina bullying Caroline multiple times over the past few years from the age of twelve to eighteen.

In the video, the little girl who was pranked and bullied again and again could only shiver and hug her small body in the corner like an injured little animal. She looked particularly pitiful and helpless.

The resolution of the video went from blurry to clear, showing that this bullying had indeed continued for six years.

The first hot comment at the bottom of the video was, [If this poor Caroline is really an unpardonable demon as the internet says, then I can’t imagine how terrifying Irina and the others must be to be able to torture this demon for so many years without her being able to resist.]

The second hot comment was, [It’s said that Kelly, who has been bullied all this time, is Irina’s best friend, who often appears in her photos. This is interesting. So, who was the one bullying who?]

The two hot comments both had thousands of likes, and the number was still rising. This, to a large extent, had already expressed the attitude of most netizens.

Caroline felt that it wasn’t enough, so she added more weight and posted the video of Irina bullying the others. It could only be said that a demon couldn’t be raised on the first day. Since Irina was able to bully Caroline without any restraint, she would naturally target those who didn’t agree with her.

Caroline used her hacking skills and spent a lot of time and energy to find a portion of it. However, just this small portion was enough to pin Irina to the pillar of sin.

Coupled with Edwin’s secret guidance, public opinion was completely against the Taylor Corporation. The netizens even managed to find out a lot of past scandals about the Taylor Corporation.

Seeing that the public opinion was getting out of control, Derek angrily smashed everything that could be smashed on his desk. “I’ve spent so much money to support you. Can’t you control such a small thing?”

The person in charge of the Public Relations Department wiped the sweat off his forehead anxiously. “The biggest problem now is that we don’t know what other cards the other party has. We can’t block the way all of a sudden, so we can only follow their rhythm.”

Derek stared at him. “So we can only watch helplessly now?”

“We can first stir up the topic of campus bullying so that the public’s eyes are not only focused on one person. We can first distract them and then deal with it coldly.”

The person in charge of the Public Relations Department glanced at him and said, “But if we want to solve the problem in a short time, the root of the problem still lies with that girl. If she can take the initiative to come out and say a few words, it will be more effective than any other means.”

However, their plan was destined to fail. Caroline, whom they had been looking for, was sitting with Edwin in a highly secretive private club.

“Morris’ cooking skills are very good. I specially asked him to reduce the sugar by 30%. It’s just right with black tea. You can try it.” Edwin moved a small piece of exquisitely-made cake in front of Caroline.

Caroline, who had been focused on her phone, took a look, and said casually, “How do you know that I don’t like to eat sweet things?”

Edwin paused while pouring black tea, then said naturally, “As long as I want to know, there’s always a way to find out, isn’t there?”

“Your words don’t sound very good.” Caroline glanced at him.

Edwin made an apologetic expression after hearing this. “I thought that showing concern would make the two of us closer.”

“Excessive attention will only make people think that you are up to no good.” Caroline picked up her cup of black tea and slowly sipped it. “Or perhaps, you are really up to no good?”

Edwin put down the red teapot and stared straight at her. His voice was a little bewitching. “Then, if I’m really plotting something, will you agree?”

Caroline lowered her head and avoided his gaze. She cut the cake into two and placed a piece on his plate. “If you want to eat cake, you can just tell me. You don’t have to go through so much trouble. I don’t mind giving you half.”

Edwin sat back down in disappointment. “Did anyone say that you’re very cunning?”
