Chapter 289 Despised By All
Jack was grateful for Amber’s reaction but he also felt ashamed of himself. When he looked at the
lonely person upstairs, Jack held his hands tightly and raged angrily.
Ivy! His eyes revealed his fury.
At this moment, Mr. Ward, Brent, Lone Wolf, and Daisy all walked over.
“Ms. Daisy, can you help me look after Amber?” Jack took a deep breath and suppressed his rage.
Now Amber really needed some company. But before he could explain clearly, it was obvious that
Amber would not want his presence.
After Daisy went upstairs, Lone Wolf immediately knelt on the floor, “Mr. Hughes, I’m sorry, it was my
fault last night.”
“It’s got nothing to do with you. I was careless.” Jack waved his hand and looked at Mr. Ward with
dignity, “How is the situation with the public relations?”
Mr. Ward was full of worry and smiled helplessly, “It can’t be done. Now public opinion is all-powerful.
Once the public senses that public relations are at work, they would be drowned out by the public’s
criticisms. Furthermore, someone had leaked out your personal information.” His voice was solemn and
full of resignation on this issue.
Mr. Ward was usually calm, steady, and always had a solution for problems. For him to show his fatigue
and helplessness on this issue, it was certain that this issue had reached a point of hopelessness.
“Does Ivy want to use this surging issue to bury me?” Jack’s eyes darkened, was full of remorse, and
wanted to slap himself.
If he had been more determined yesterday, there wouldn’t be the current calamity. But Ivy threatened
the people around him and he had to submit.
“Now there is a surge of opinion against Master and DT. Even those who are associated with Master
are being affected. This morning as soon as the stock market started trading, the stocks of Drago Real
Estate agency fell so much that it stopped trading within half an hour.”
“Ciara from the Capital also notified that their work had been affected by the public opinion.”
“Furthermore, on Yael’s end, the things at the financial company had been put on hold. Yael and
Amelia are on their way over. They should be here soon.”
Mr. Ward said with a weak voice but each was like a clear day thunderbolt. It made Jack feel moments NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
of darkness and hopelessness like he was falling into an abyss.
This… was the power of public opinion!
Ivy didn’t hesitate to use her reputation and activate her fans to wield the shocking blow. It made him
helpless and powerless to deflect the blow. The surging trend was unstoppable.
Jack already had the feeling that things were about to crash down on him.
“Why don’t we ask Old Master to talk to Ivy? If she could come out to clarify the matter, then this issue
would quickly come to an end.” Brent suddenly suggested.
Jack and Mr. Ward looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time.
“She has shown that she was willing to risk her reputation in order to attack me. That meant that only
one of us will emerge from this. She will never come out to clarify matters.” Jack wiped his face as he
said.
Mr. Ward also said helplessly, “If Ivy were to come out to clarify, it will be digging her own grave. Not
only will her ploy be exposed and no longer can compete with Master, but her good image in the
entertainment industry will also be severely tarnished.”
It was dead silent in the living hall. Everyone was frustrated and the air became stifling.
“Then isn’t it hopeless?” Brent said.
Jack nodded, “Pretty much.”
Ding dong… The doorbell chimed. Lone Wolf quickly opened the door. Yael and Amelia walked in
looking worried.
Yael shrugged when he saw Jack and pretended to be relaxed and said, “Jack, hopefully you enjoyed
yourself. This woman is a bitch!”
“Stop rubbing it in. The most important thing now is to suppress this issue.” Jack replied helplessly.
“It can’t be suppressed!” Yael waved his hand and sat beside Jack. He took out the iPad from his bag
and handed it over to Jack, “Have a look at what’s being discussed on the social media.”
Jack frowned as he took over the iPad. He roughly knew what it was like on social media that was why
when he first saw the news, he did not click on the link to read the details.
But now that Yael asked him to look at it, he should understand it in more detail. The huge and bold
headlines were the same as the recommended news. But when Jack clicked on the link, explicit
pictures were like pins pricking the nerves in his brain.
The main picture was Jack standing in the middle of the hotel room and Ivy sitting on the floor. A hand
imprint could be seen on her face.
“This…” Alarm bells started ringing in Jack’s head and he stared angrily, “This was the first time I saw
her!”
When he said that, Brent and Lone Wolf quickly leaned closer for a look. When they saw the picture,
both their expressions changed.
“I remember this was when Master slapped her to give her a warning.” Brent said in surprise.
Jack’s expression became exceedingly dark. He quickly looked at the other photos and his pupils
started to constrict. He continued to fume until he could erupt at any moment!
Many of the pictures were of the first time he saw Ivy in the hotel room. In the pictures, he looked
overbearing and oppressive while Ivy was on the floor and looked weak and pitiful. It gave the feeling of
a weak woman being forcibly oppressed.
The last few pictures were taken at the Tyson hotel.
The lighting in the room was dim and the room looked to be in a mess. Jack laid on Ivy’s body and her
eyes were hazy, welled up with tears, and looked terrified. There were also pictures of her torn clothes!
Each picture had a caption to describe and arouse the reader’s opinion to hate Jack. Jack was very
clear that the last few pictures were staged by Ivy after he lost consciousness.
But at this point, there was no way that he could clear his name!
The two encounters were under entirely different circumstances but when put together, it painted a very
different story intentionally to ruined him!
“This is a total set up and there was no way I can clear the matter now.” Jack placed the iPad down and
leaned back on the sofa.
At this moment, he felt as though a boulder laid on his chest and he was crumbling under its weight.
He even wanted to laugh due to the extreme anger. Jack exclaimed, “This bitch is ruthless.”
Yael heaved a sigh, “All these pictures are enough to turn into a movie. In order to attack you, she had
thrown in her reputation and used these irrefutable pieces of evidence such that you have no means to
retaliate!”
On saying this, he pointed to the iPad again, “Now every renowned website and social media have this
as their frontpage news. Everyone under the sun is scolding you!”
He was despised by everyone?
Jack stared into the distance. He felt hopeless like a drowning man, slowly sinking into the water. The
feelings of depression, suffocation, and panic surged.
Was there nothing that he could do?
