If they could shift all the me to the Woods family at this crucial moment, it would be a huge victory.


    In no time, the onlinements that had been expressing sympathy for Hannahpletely shifted to attacking the Woods family.


    [Everyone keeps calling Lionel a scumbag, but has anyone considered that none of this would have happened if that woman hadn''t seduced him in the first ce?]


    [She was the one who gave up on the marriage. She must have character issues. She probably found someone better and that''s why she didn''t want to get married.]


    [If you ask me, the mistress probably saw that Lionel grew up as an orphan and had just returned, thinking he''d never be truly valued by the Rosenberg family. She was afraid she''d bet on the wrong horse, so she found someone else and ran.]


    [Maybe she was interested in Quennel back then and wanted to marry him, so she broke off the engagement and spun it as graciously stepping aside for the other two.]


    [I think the real reason this whole mess happened is the Woods family. They failed


    to raise a decent daughter. If they had raised a normal person, none of this would be happening.]


    [The fact that their daughter fled the country and abandoned them proves that there''s something seriously wrong with that family!]


    Seeing the constant attacks online, Mr. and Mrs. Woods wanted to hire their own trolls to clean up their image, but they didn''t have the money to do it.


    The narrative hadpletely shifted. At first, everyone was sympathizing with Hannah, and now they were the targets. It was obvious someone was manipting public opinion online. It couldn''t be Hannah, so it had to be someone else.


    But they had no way of finding out who was behind the online smear campaign.


    "What are you standing there for?


    Call Sandra! Tell her to hire someone to clear our names. We didn''t tell her to do this, she was the one who insisted on being with Lionel David roared furiously.


    "I''m trying, but she''s not picking up! Maybe she''s busy," Edith said, on the verge of tears.


    "Give it to me, I''ll call. That ungrateful brat. We raised her, and this is how she repays us?"


    David snatched the phone, cursing as he dialed. "She''s not actually going to leave us to die, is she?


    have to call and find out. Even if she word save us she damn well better give us money!"


    But he snatched the phone and tried calling repeatedly, only to find the line was always busy. No one answered.


    "Maybe she really is busy," Edith suggested weakly. "When she sees the trending topics, she''ll call us."


    "For now, let''s just register some


    new ounts, buy a few if we have to, and try to defend ourselves," she pleaded. If we let them keep attacking us like thism afraid to even go out for groceries Someone might attack me!"


    As she spoke, Edith couldn''t help but cry. They were supposed to be out of it, but


    one post from Hannah had thrown them into the fire.


    Seeing that no one online was talking about her family anymore, Mary finally breathed a sigh of relief.
