Love at the Wrong Table - Season 2 Episode 62

I learned that trick from reading novels online. The domineering male leads

always use this method to confess their feelings to the female leads. The

whole city will learn of their love story, causing the female lead to be

inadvertently labeled as the male lead’s woman. Slowly but surely, the

female lead will not escape the clutches of the male lead, so what went

wrong?

Despite having spent more than a million, he still failed to boost news of his

romantic confession to Mackenzie into Yeringham’s headlines. Instead, it was

continuously subdued by news related to relatives accusing each other of

being ungrateful.

“Even if you spend ten million, it isn’t going to make a difference. All you’ll end

up being is a sideshow,” Gautier stated the truth, showing no intention of

being carried away by his emotions, unlike his brother.

“Why?”

Hubert was clueless to his brother’s reasons.

“You fool! Don’t you realize the top trending topics are filled with news and

articles attacking Emmanuel? Do you even know how they ended up there?

The money you spent has ended up shaping public opinion for someone

else!”

While Gautier was giving his brother a dressing down, the latter walked over

to take a look.

Only then did he see the headlines filled with news of Emmanuel’s relatives

accusing him of being an ingrate for forgetting about them.

Even the discussion about how the headline had pushed down Hubert’s

confession to Mackenzie had shot up into the top ten trending topics.

“F*ck! Are they idiots? This headline is clearly a result of all the money I spent

on boosting traffic to my article. How can they twist the facts now?” Hubert

fumed.

Unable to help himself, Gautier slapped his brother on the backside and

roared, “Don’t you understand yet, you imbecile? Your confession to

Mackenzie isn’t controversial at all. Instead, only news that is morally

contentious can spark a huge debate online. No matter how much money

you throw at the problem, you’ll only play second fiddle to such news.”

When Hubert finally understood, he exclaimed in frustration, “In that case,

what should I do, Gautier?”

“I can’t believe how dumb you can be!”

Gautier continued in a frosty tone, “Don’t you want the entire city to know

about your romantic confession to Mackenzie? Since these trending topics

can help increase traffic to your article, you should spend money to boost

them instead. On top of that, I’m very sure that Mackenzie and Emmanuel

enjoy a close relationship!”

Only then did Hubert realize what was going on.

That’s right! Even though my article didn’t become one of the top trending

topics, I can use the existing trending topics to destroy Emmanuel’s

reputation in Yeringham. By then, he would be too ashamed to continue

staying in the city, and I would be able to have my revenge!

“That’s why you don’t have to spend two million. Just boost the top trending

topic with three hundred thousand, and it will automatically improve the

traffic for your article.”

Gautier proceeded to give his brother three hundred thousand before

dismissing him.

Thereafter, an insidious smile gradually emerged on his face.

After he was beaten up by Emmanuel, Gautier did a background check on

the man and discovered that he was an army veteran from the Northern

Region. Emmanuel was also the one behind Mackenzie’s brutal strategy to

complete her warehouse project.

Those two are responsible for stealing the one billion contract that was

supposed to go to Verkade Group. There’s no way I’m going to allow them to

live in peace!

As evening approached, Emmanuel arrived at Greendale Village together

with Mackenzie.

Due to the sensitive timing, Emmanuel was worried that Mackenzie’s car

would be vandalized by those who were misled by the internet articles

maligning them. As a result, he decided that both of them should take a taxi

instead.

Moreover, worried that the driver would recognize them, Emmanuel and

Mackenzie even put on facial masks.

Unfortunately, they were immediately recognized the moment they stepped

out of the vehicle.

“Hey, isn’t that Emmanuel? What is he doing here at Greendale Village?”
