Chapter 272 Public Opinion Takes a Sharp Turn I was particularly firm and unwavering. Even the reporters were stunned momentarily. Then, they continued to bombardwith questions.

"Does your deal with Mr. Simpson end with cooking? Is it just that simple?" "Word has it that Mrs. Simpson has been staying overseas recently. Does she know about what's going on between you and Mr. Simpson?" I cleared my throat and intended to answer. However, another deep female voice rose in the air and responded on my behalf, "I know the answer to that question." I turned around, and a noble lady who had maintained her appearance well showed up in front of us. I recognized her. She was Mr. Simpson's wife, Judith Maynard.

Mrs. Simpson met my gaze and flasheda smile. Then, she walked towardslowly.

The reporters also recognized who she was, and they immediately huddled around her.

Before they could ask anything, she said, "I'm aware that Ms. Brown has been cooking for my husband.

Sometimes, he'd even record svideos and send them to me. As for the false comments on the internet, we'll hold the responsible party accountable until the culprit is caught." Now that Judith was backingup, the reporters dispersed quickly. My mind went blank for a moment as I looked at Mrs. Simpson, who ruined my plan.

"What are you waiting for? Cinside and take a seat." She opened the door and cocked her head as she invited me.

I nodded and followed her hurriedly. I knew from my past life that Mrs. Simpson had Mr. Simpson under her thumb, but I never knew just how serious it was.

Right now, he looked nothing like the professional that he was. Instead, he was pulling his ears and squatting in the corner with a regretful look on his face.

Mrs. Simpson raised her voice and lectured him as if she couldn't see that I was there.

"Dear Lord! You act like a chicken when the whole thing derailed. Why didn't you step forward and clear her name? You're an old man, for God's sake. How could you let a young lady clean up your mess? Absolutely shameless!" Mr. Simpson remained crouched and obediently accepted the lecturing without any resistance.

I sat nervously and decided to speak after pondering on it for a long time. "Actually, it's not Mr. Simpson's fault." Mr. and Mrs. Simpson stopped and looked atwhen they heard what I said.

My lips curled into an apologetic smile. "I know who made up and spread the rumor." I took a sip of water as they watched me. Then, I continued, "It's probably Jeremiah." "Jeremiah?" Mr. Simpson frowned before he smacked his thigh. It looked like he realized what was happening. "I should've known. He's the only person who could do something like this." I nodded. "He made a similar threat when he saw that I was able to freely access your place, but I dismissed it back then." Mrs. Simpson understood what I was saying, and her eyes were brimming with concern. "Although we filed a police report, the other party usually finds a scapegoat in cases like these." "It's okay." I gave her a reassuring smile. "He can't exactly stir anything up anyway." I had to take Cornell Group down as soon as possible. I needed to stop Jeremiah from causing messes for me.

I hadn't even had a chance to return hwhen an update popped up after I chatted with Mr. and Mrs. Simpson briefly.

The person who made up and spread the rumor had been exposed.

The news becone of the trending topics. Although he was just an ordinary guy, his exposure served to discredit the false rumor.

I took a photo with Mr. and Mrs. Simpson and uploaded it online, further verifying the fact that the rumors were unfounded.

The netizens switched sides when they saw public opinion shifting.

"It turns out I'm the kind of netizen m who goes with the flow won't misunderstand you anymore!" "She's pretty, wealthy, and hardworking. You can't find a better

lady than her. She actually went over to the Simpson residence to cook every day for the sake of her project. With willpower like that, she can accomplish anything she sets her mind to." "I'm sorry. I made a bold claim earlier. Please forgive me!"

After I read the netizens' admissions of guilt, I turned off my phone. Then, I bade Mr. and Mr. Simpson farewell.
