Chapter 314 Retaliation from Bonnie
In the past, the manager might not have been so worried because he thought it wasn't that big of a deal. After all, there was something fishy about it. He knew this kid too well; he would never do such a thing. If he did, his family wouldn't let him off. So, he also thought someone was deliberately framing him. But framing someone required evidence. Without evidence, who knew what really happened?
"I understand. Don't worry, I'll have someone investigate right away. But the public opinion is really strong now, so you need to be prepared. Also, I just noticed there's another piece of news online that's very unfavorable to you. Plus, you're all shady businessmen, and I know that's not true, but not everyone online believes otherwise."
The manager explained the online situation to Sylvia again, and she was somewhat surprised. She didn't say much, just nodded slightly.
"I understand. Be careful with Second Brother's schedule now, and don't let others know. Also, if anyone asks about his situation, don't say anything. I'll have someone assist you in investigating these matters." Sylvia began instructing her subordinates with her phone. From start to finish, Balk had no idea what was going on. His mind was still focused on his brother.
After hanging up the phone, he realized he might have a problem too and asked what was going on.
"You're being blackened pretty badly. They're saying you're playing with girls' feelings and that you're a downright liar."
After Sylvia explained the specifics, Balk and their father were stunned. This kind of thing couldn't possibly happen to Balk.
"How can you two not believe me? I could never do something like this. If I did, Dad would break my legs. Plus, I'm always so busy. Where would I find time to date? Don't you find it very coincidental? Third Brother just had an accident, and then I'm suddenly in trouble. You really can't completely suspect me of this."
Sylvia looked at him strangely, as if she didn't quite understand why he was so anxious.
"We know you well. You would never do such things. Since you haven't done it, why are you so nervous? Do you think we'll wrongly accuse you? That's unnecessary. After all, we know what kind of person you are."
"Yeah, what your sister said is right. You're explaining so anxiously as if you really did it. If you didn't do it, you don't need to explain so much. We'll definitely believe you, unless you really did it..."
"Don't joke!" Balk widened his eyes. How could he possibly do such a thing?
"How can you say that? I never did such a thing. If you say I did, I'll really get angry. I didn't do it. You can't just slander me like this."
Both of them stopped talking. They had wanted to ask more, but then the doctor came over, and they immediately rushed to ask what was going on.
"Don't worry, the person was brought in very timely. Although they're still in danger, rest assured, there won't be any major problems."
Hearing the doctor's words, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Until Third Brother was fine, they could finally calm down. After all, no matter how big the matter, it couldn't compare to a matter of life and death. Now that everyone was seated, they could seriously think about what was going on.
The situation with Balk was escalating, and everyone wanted to know what was going on. The overwhelming online rumors were threatening to destroy all of Balk's efforts over the years. But Balk had no complaints.
He would never admit to something he didn't do. But were these people just too foolish, blindly following the rhythm set by someone else?
"Wait a minute, isn't someone deliberately setting me up, deliberately trying to trap me? Little sister, you need to figure out a way to clear your brother's name. I didn't do this, and I can't let everything be blamed on me."
Sylvia rolled her eyes. Now was not the time to panic.
"I know, don't worry. I've already sent someone to investigate what's going on. We'll soon find out the truth. If someone is really slandering you, I won't let them off. But don't you think this situation is a bit strange? It's like someone is targeting you deliberately, and our family too."
Sylvia began to analyze the situation seriously. Meanwhile, their father sat quietly on the side, messing with his phone. They discussed and discussed, but didn't reach a conclusion, so their father took his phone back.
"Your mother is so useless. She hasn't figured out this little thing yet. Alright, I've already investigated. This was done by Bonnie. She's been holding a grudge against you ever since her boyfriend's incident, and now she's taken it out on our entire family."
After hearing his father's words, both Sylvia and Balk fell into silence. They had thought of many possibilities, but they hadn't thought it would be to this extent.
"Dad, don't joke about this. This joke isn't funny at all. If you say Bonnie did it, you might as well say Cyril did it. Is he going to do these things while he's still in the hospital?"
"In the hospital? Doesn't he have a brain or connections? Can't he get someone to help with these things?"
Well, that rhetorical question left them speechless. It wasn't an impossible thing.
