Chapter 769

Nicole wrinkled her brows. “K, can you…”

Before Nicole could finish her words, Kai knew what Nicole meant. His smile sank slightly.

“You want to control the comments and withdraw the trending topic?”

Nicole pursed her lips. “No matter how much it takes, take it down. The internet is not a lawless place,
so they can’t just claim that something is true with a few words plucked out of thin air.”

“You don’t believe this woman’s words? But I think at least half of it is true… Michael is about the same
age as this woman said. Clayton’s also chasing you with such vigor…”

Was it not exactly like the persistent and deep love that the woman described?

Perhaps Clayton Sloan was really a hypocrite.

Nicole lowered her eyes. Her expression finally returned to its usual calmness.

She curled the corner of her lips into a cold smile.

“It’s not a matter of whether it’s true or whether we believe it or not. K, he saved my life. Also, back
when J&L Corporation’s project went wrong, and the public opinion was siding with Liberty
Technologies, he helped to control the situation. That’s why it went so smoothly. Are we just going to sit
back and do nothing?”

There was no reason for her to pretend not to see this. In Mediania, Nicole was probably Clayton’s only
friend.

Clayton did not have much influence in the country, yet he still had to prove his innocence by himself?

Even if it was true, they were still friends.



Kai sighed and understood what Nicole meant. “Okay, I’ll contact the platform to suppress the public
opinion and release another showbiz gossip. That should be enough to divert the attention.”

Nicole laughed. “Well, I know that you’re really capable, Third Brother!”

Kai snorted coldly. “Don’t patronize me!”

He took his phone and walked out to contact the media platform.

Nicole sat there silently for a moment, not knowing what was on her mind.

After a while, Nicole picked up the phone, turned it on, and turned it off again.

The bottom of her heart was calm.

Nicole did not know what she was expecting, but she was also glad to know that there was nothing.

An hour later.

The internet was suddenly in a frenzy once again. An actress climbed onto the director’s bed and was
caught by the director’s wife in the act. The scene was a mess and hard to explain.

That video was not even censored, so their naked bodies were seen by everyone.

In a minute, it was forwarded over ten thousand times.

The trending topic of “Hammer the scumbag to death” silently disappeared.

After all, everyone was more familiar with the entertainment industry, so they were far more interested
than a “famous investor” that was anonymous.

Nicole sighed in relief.



Ferguson Corporation.

Eric was not surprised by Clayton’s trending topic. It was just that the Stantons getting involved to take
it down made him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

Was Nicole so protective of him?

However, the effect was achieved. Eric did not do it for the netizens, nor was he trying to make Clayton
lose his reputation in this way.

He just wanted Nicole to realize the hypocritical side of Clayton and plant a seed of doubt in her heart.

With a rift between them, Nicole and Clayton would have no future.

Eric was on the phone in his office. “This matter ends here. Implement the second plan, bring the
person to Clayton.”

Gag him to death!

Mitchell was taking down minutes of the meeting when he saw Ingrid Ferguson arrive at the door of
Eric’s office.

He jogged over. “Ms. Ferguson, are you here to see Mr. Ferguson?”

Ingrid was startled. “Yes, Grandpa told me to come to ask my brother to go back home for dinner
tonight.”

“Okay, please wait a moment.”

Ingrid remembered something. “Mitchell, can you tell my brother? I’m a little afraid of him lately and I
don’t dare to see him. I’m leaving first…”



Mitchell understood. After all, what Eric did to a pampered high-society lady like her was a little too
much.

Ingrid finished what she needed to say and left with a wave of her hand. She had a vague intent of
revenge in her eyes.
