Chapter 51 Trending Topic
At Waternll City School, in the bookstore, Teresa was sitting at the checkout counter reading news on her mobile phone while Gwendolyn was sitting across from her and reading a romance book with relish.
It was very convenient to read any book she wanted when she opened a bookstore. Gwendolyn had almost read all the romance books in the store.
Sometimes Teresa made fun of her. Since she liked to read romance books so much, why didn't she just write one herself?
"Teresa, the male and female protagonists of this book are also married in a flash." Gwendolyn put it down and smiled, "Just like you."
Teresa looked at her and said, "There are more people in flash marriage. You said that the heroine in the book marries a billionaire in a flash marriage. My flash marriage partner is an ordinary employee."
Even if Hubert was a white-collar worker in a large group and even a general manager, he was still an ordinary employee.
"Well, don't read them all the time. I'm afraid you're going to be obsessed with it, and you won't be able to get married in this life, because if you compare the men in real life with the male protagonist, it's incomparable. Such a man only exists in the book."
In real life, there were very few young, handsome, rich, and dedicated men.
"I'm just reading them to kill time. I'm not like you, and I can't knit." Gwendolyn closed the book and took out her phone to check for news.
She generally liked to read the trending topics on Instagram.
When she saw a trending topic, she immediately said to Teresa, "Teresa, hurry up and read the trending topics on Instagram."
"What's the big news?" Teresa just glanced at her, not interested.
She had an Instagram account, but she seldom managed it and had only a dozen followers. Occasionally, she posted some of her knitting works on Instagram, and those followers were her loyal customers.
"Someone has confessed her love to the eldest son of the Donovan family!"
"Oh." Teresa was still not interested.
In her opinion, she and the eldest son of the Donovan family would never have an intersection in this life. Since there would be no intersection, why should she waste time paying attention to such a man?
"I heard that many girls like the eldest son of the Donovan family. After all, he is the head of the Donovan family and the head of the Donovan Group. He's rich. If a girl marries him, she will enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth."
"The girl who confessed her love in public and boldly pursued Mr. Donovan has a background. Teresa, guess who it is."
"It's neither you nor me anyway."
Gwendolyn choked.
She said, "it's big gossip news. Why are you not interested at all?"
"It's the sister of the boss of the Lisbon Group and the only sister. The Lisbon Group is the second largest group in our Waternll City after the Donovan Group, but the relationship between the two companies is not very harmonious. I didn't expect Sophie to fall in love with Mr. Donovan and boldly confess her love in public. She is indeed the daughter of Lisbon Group. She has the confidence and courage!"
Teresa said lightly, "Last time we discussed Mr. Donovan and suspected that he had a problem. If Miss Lisbon pursues him, there would be no result. But if Mr. Lisbon pursues Mr. Donovan, maybe there would be a result."
Gwendolyn was speechless.
When Mr. Lisbon got married, his wedding was a sensation in the whole city. Now, Mr. Lisbon and his wife were very loving. In Watenll City, Mr. Lisbon was famous for his doting on his wife.
Gwendolyn thought that Mr. Lisbon was like the hero in a romance novel, young, handsome, and rich.
"If Mr. Donovan has a problem, then Miss Lisbon's infatuation will be in vain."
Gwendolyn thought it was a pity, "Someone rarely dares to publicly confess her love to Mr. Donovan. There is no result, and it's very disappointing. Well, is there a problem with Mr. Donovan?"
Teresa felt amused, "Who knows?"
They were just suspicious. Of course, if Mr. Donovan accepted Miss Lisbon and got married, it would prove that he was a normal man.
But it had nothing to do with her.
She wasn't even interested in the gossip news of Mr. Donovan. Gwendolyn liked to read the gossip news, and from time to time she would talk about it in front of her. So she knew some big news in the city.
Not wanting to discuss this kind of gossip with her friend, Teresa took out her tools and prepared to weave her crafts.
Gwendolyn murmured, still reading the trending topics, but her expression became serious and she pounded the counter.
It startled Teresa, "Gwendolyn, what are you doing? You startled me."
"Damn it! It's outrageous!"
Gwendolyn was very angry. She got up, handed her phone to her friend, and said angrily, "Teresa, look, is this trending topic about you and your sister Leila? They're naming you and attaching a photo. I think the two girls in the photo look like you and your sister."
"They're saying that you and your sister are not filial, and you don't recognize your relatives and only care about your enjoyment. You don't even care about your grandma's illness and you haven't gone back to visit her for more than ten years. They're saying that your grandma is sick because she's missed you two granddaughters too much."
Hearing this, Teresa frowned.
She quickly took her friend's phone and read the trending topic on Instagram that her friend talked about. When she saw the photo, it was a photo of her and her sister when they were children, and it was posted on Instagram.
Reading the content, Teresa was so angry.
She knew that the person who posted it on Instagram was from her family, but she didn't know which cousin it was.
The article on Instagram not only named them, but also posted their photo and even put Teresa's phone number on it, depicting the sisters as ungrateful and unfilial and saying that their grandma had worked very hard to raise the sisters and sent them to school, but they hadn't returned home for many years. Now their grandma was seriously ill, and she just wanted to see her granddaughters before she died, about the granddaughters were ruthless and refused to see her.
Anyway, it sounded like the real thing.
At the end of the article on Instagram, it appealed to the netizens to help contact Teresa and her sister and tell the sisters to rush to the Waternll City Central Hospital to see their grandma for the last time.
Teresa's hands were shaking after she read it. She hadn't expected those people to be so shameless. They smeared the sisters on Instagram and even paid to make it a trending topic. They were trying to ruin the reputation of the sisters.
Although the sisters were very ordinary people, it would attract the attack of online tolls. They would not learn the truth of the matter, and they only attacked the sisters and scolded them wildly online.
Finally, it formed cyber violence!
Fifteen years had passed, and her so-called family members were still as shameless and ruthless as they were fifteen years ago.
To force the sisters to pay for the medical bills, they did everything they could!
"Teresa, are you okay?" Gwendolyn was worried when she saw her friend's angry face.
Teresa didn't speak. She was flipping through the comments.
The comments below were all scolding her and her sister for being unfilial. It was estimated that there were a lot of paid trolls.
