Chapter 224: Chapter 224 Exposing One’s Weakness

Serena Summers had no time to feel happy when she heard the man continue, "You should wear it only at home, only for me to see."

"..."

As expected, she knew there was a pitfall waiting for her.

Just then, her phone rang suddenly, and it was a call from Frank Lane.

"Miss, there’s trouble! You better check the internet immediately," he said in a panicked tone.

He was usually composed; Serena had never seen him this agitated before.

"What happened?" She unlocked her phone, opened Weibo to check, half-expecting news about a company’s star causing another scandal.

Instead, she saw her own name trending on the search list.

Serena: ??

She clicked into one of the trending topics and found it filled with incessant swearing and filthy language.

"What’s going on?" Lucas Shaw leaned over to have a look and his face immediately darkened.

It hadn’t been long since someone posted a video of Serena treating someone’s illness online, and now there were many people slandering her again.

"Do you need my help?"

Serena shook her head slightly with a calm expression, her eyes void of any disturbance, as if she didn’t take the matter to heart at all.

"No need, I can handle it myself."

There was no need for Lucas Shaw to intervene over such a small matter.

She instructed Frank Lane over the phone, "Contact the company’s PR team and have them prepare a public relations plan as soon as possible."

Company?

Lucas Shaw raised his eyebrows, a hint of surprise flashing through his eyes.

He didn’t know Serena had any company.

Serena hung up the phone, just as she faced Lucas Shaw, his eyes filled with confusion.

She gripped her phone tighter, suddenly realizing she might have said too much.

But there was nothing really to hide.

She blinked guiltily and explained in a low voice, "I went to Prosperity Hill previously, not just because of my second martial brother and Adrian Shaw."

"Mmm, why then?"

Lucas Shaw had some guesses in his heart, but he never deliberately sought to investigate Serena.

"Because... my husband, have you heard of Starfare Entertainment?" Serena wrapped her arms around Lucas Shaw’s waist, looking up at him.

Meeting her clear eyes, Lucas Shaw instantly grasped the implication of her words.

The only person who could easily mobilize the PR team of Starfare Entertainment would probably be that mysterious CEO who never showed their face publicly.

Staring at Serena’s face for a long while, he suddenly chuckled.

Serena felt puzzled by his laughter, and her heart also tightened with nervousness.

She explained softly, "I didn’t mean to hide it from you; it’s just that you never asked, and I never found the right moment to say it."

"Mmm, I know." Lucas Shaw tightened his embrace around Serena’s slender waist, feeling even more fortunate that he never missed out on her.

His petite wife, like a treasure, could always bring him unexpected surprises.

In fact, he and Serena had some connections in the past.

When Adrian Shaw was starting his career, Lucas Shaw had considered opening an entertainment company or studio specifically to provide resources for him.

Unfortunately, someone had beaten him to it, and thus Adrian Shaw got swayed by others.

Previously, he felt annoyed by this, but now it all seemed to be destined.

Everything was meant to be, just like his relationship with Serena Summers.

"How do you plan to resolve this matter?" Lucas Shaw asked with a husky voice.

"The public opinion is fermenting too quickly, there must be manipulation behind this. My plan is to let the public opinion continue to ferment, and expose the person behind it."

Lucas Shaw lowered his eyes, his warm wide palm gently caressing Serena Summers’ fair and tender cheeks, his eyes filled with pain.

"But this way, you will suffer a lot of slander and humiliation."

He couldn’t bear it.

He couldn’t bear to let Serena suffer even the slightest harm, nor did he want to see those people humiliating her to the extreme.

"If I don’t watch, isn’t it fine? I won’t let anyone who wants to harm me go, and I won’t be brought down by a few insults," Serena Summers chuckled lightly, her pale delicate face beautifully refined.

Her gaze soft, yet also revealing an indescribable stubbornness and resilience.

After a long silence, Lucas Shaw finally sighed slowly, "Alright, I’ll listen to you. But, I won’t let anyone who hurt you get away."

Serena nodded in agreement, "Fortunately, neither will I."

The two exchanged a smile, understanding each other’s thoughts without needing to speak it aloud.

The negative public opinion online continued to ferment.

At first, the attacks were about Serena Summers replacing Crystal Harper, crushing her with capital.

Later, someone leaked information and linked Declan Summers’ assault to Serena, claiming that the fight was because of her.

Declan Summers had been in the entertainment industry for many years and had many female fans.

As this news emerged, fans exploded instantly.

"Attack whoever you want, just don’t drag our brother into this!"

"Take our brother away, my heart aches, can Serena step forward and speak up? So many people have been implicated, yet she pretends to be dead!"

"What’s the use of having a pretty face, recommending to forever blacklist her!"

...

It wasn’t long before Declan Summers received the news.

Even before he could respond, he received a call from Grace Summers.

Declan was already in a bad mood and didn’t want to answer, but Evan Summers said, "Answer it, I want to hear what he really wants to say."

Thus, Declan pressed the answer button.

"Hello? Big brother, are you okay? I just saw Weibo, how could Serena do this? You clearly stood up for her, yet she hid like a shrinking turtle when things went wrong."

"Big brother, are you okay? Seeing those comments cursing you, my heart really hurts!"

Declan and Evan exchanged a look, their lips curling into a mocking smile.

"It must be hard for you, even feeling sorry for me," his tone inexplicably cold.

Grace felt something odd in Declan’s tone, but before she could think deeply, she whispered with excitement, "Of course, you’re my brother! Big brother, when are you coming back? I’ll go with you to find Serena and confront her, how could she treat you like this!"

Declan lowered his gaze, his voice deep as he asked, "Grace, how do you know I fought Alexander Forrest to stand up for Serena?"

He had fought Alexander in the restroom, where there were no cameras.

Even the crew members on-site didn’t know what exactly happened.

The speculations online were only that Alexander and Declan fought over Serena, without knowing the specific reason.

The only ones who knew the truth, besides him and Alexander, were those who instigated it from behind.

Connecting this with the recording Alexander played for him that day...

Declan let out a self-deprecating laugh, having dealt with Grace for over a decade, he had never dreamed that his sister would have such deep schemes.

Grace was taken aback by the question, suddenly realizing the slip in her words, she hurriedly explained, "I, I saw it on the internet. Big brother, I’m just too worried about you, why are you being mean to me, wuu wuu wuu..."

As she spoke, she began to sob softly.

Declan rubbed his temples, his tone indescribably even, "Grace, I’ve already met with Alexander Forrest. He told me everything."
