Chapter 189
Gordon and Sophia dared to slander Cecilia openly because they likely thought that the innocent had nothing to lose. Since they were going to lose everything soon, they had nothing to fear.
If they could drag Cecilia down with them, then it meant that they did. not have to endure their punishment in vain.
They also believed that the weak gained sympathy more easily, and the netizens were thus more likely to side with them.
However, they didn't know that although the signal was blocked at that time, the surveillance cameras in Emerald Mansion were still running.
Since it was night, the footage from the surveillance cameras was not very clear, but everything the journalists confessed to was perfectly intelligible.
So, when Cecilia forced them to leave on their knees, she already had a plan for what to do next.
On that night, Gordon and Sophia were in a frenzy while Cecilia had a good night's sleep.
The next day, when Cecilia woke up, there was an uproar on the internet.
The netizens were divided into two sides.
One side stood up for Cecilia while the other side insulted her.
Both sides were arguing wildly in the comment section of the news article.
The site's server even crashed several times due to traffic.
The emotionally charged netizens stayed up all night, engaging in heated arguments with the opposing side.
When Cecilia checked the news, people from both sides had already turned away from discussing her and started attacking each other.
[You idiot! Only a person with shit for brains would believe that vicious couple! Go get yourself a brain scan!]
[Scan my ass! Blind, idiotic people like you need the brain scans, not us!] [Ha! Did you forget your brain while still in the womb? I'd suggest going back to where you came from!] [You're the one born without a brain, but I think you were born with

cataracts in your eyes, too! You should sign up for a replacement for both parts!]
[...]
The netizens were very agitated and started cursing more and more harshly,
Using her account, Cecilia then typed out a reply. [Don't fight. Please visit my official Twitter account in half an hour.]
Then, she sent the link the her official Twitter account.
The two sides that were quarreling suddenly fell silent.
In about ten seconds, the responses to Cecilia's comment began to rapidly increase at a visible speed.
[Goddess, we're eagerly awaiting your comeback! Tear apart the fake facade of that disgusting couple!]
[I'd like to see what else you can make up. If you want to clear your name, it will be easier to just dream on!] [The commenter above is really a curse expert. Everybody, just take it as a joke!]
[...]
The comments continued to escalate, causing the server to overload and subsequently crash.
When the system was restored, more than half an hour had passed.
During this period, Cecilia got up and freshened herself up. She also had breakfast.
She then postponed her return to Acocester by half an hour and devoted. that time to humiliating Gordon and Sophia.
After looking at the news, the topic was still at the top of the trending charts.
Cecilia interlocked all ten fingers and pushed them forward, making her knuckles crack.
After exercising her fingers, she turned on her computer and logged in to her official Twitter account.
Her official Twitter account had not been used much, except to upload the original soundtrack she had sung for "The Palace" released by the Yates Corporation, and to humiliate the Yancey family. The True Lady Strikes Back

It was the same this time.
Cecilia pulled up the surveillance video from the entrance of Emerald Mansion and fast-forwarded it to last night.
In case anyone claimed she edited the footage, she posted the whole. video on the Internet.
However, the video's frame had been adjusted to exclude the scene where the bodyguard beat up the journalists.
She also broadcasted the part where Gordon and Sophia were forced to their knees and falsely accused her of trying to exact revenge by marrying into the Yancey family.
Of course, the part where the journalists' claims of Sophia bribing them were also broadcast.
As soon as the video appeared, the netizens who had quarreled on the news website immediately changed their sides and rushed to Cecilia's official Twitter account. Soon, they started fighting again. Of course, many had changed sides too.
More than 70 percent of netizens were insulting Gordon and Sophia now.
Another 10 percent of netizens remain neutral.
The remaining 20 percent were still intent on cursing at Cecilia, thinking that she should not have broken Gordon and Sophia's legs.
To them, there were no unworthy parents, only unworthy children.
These 20 percent of people believed that when parents did anything wrong, their children could just voice their concerns, and there was no need to escalate the situation to physical harm.
Cecilia knew clearly that the people saying such things were either fools. or parents who wanted their children to be obedient and filial no matter what.
She did not pay much attention to the online arguments and instead hacked into the hospital to check Gordon and Sophia's medical records. There was a medical report in the file.
The medical report showed signs of being doctored.
Cecilia effortlessly restored the original reports and then placed the two different reports on her official Twitter account.
The original report clearly stated that Gordon and Sophia had external knee injuries. Although it was severe, it did not damage their bones.

Such wounds only required some time to recover, leaving behind some slightly ugly scars at best.
On the other hand, the altered report showed a much more serious condition for both of them. After a plethora of medical jargon, the conclusion stated a 70 percent probability of paralysis and a 30 percent probability of being able to walk with crutches.
Cecilia looked at the doctor's signature on the examination report and smirked mockingly.
She was about to contact the doctors whose names were on both reports when she received a recorded message from Christopher.
At the same time, he walked into the study and said, "Ceci, the investigation on the hospital has been conducted. You can just post the recording online."
"Okay, let me listen to it first."
In the recording, the doctor who first examined Gordon and Sophia gave a brief summary of their actual injuries.
The doctor, who was later bribed by Gordon and Sophia, explained the process of altering the reports and revealed the fact that Sophia had bribed him.
After Cecilia exposed more and more information, there was an increase. in netizens who sided with her.
[Darn it! That bloody couple is really good at acting. I believed it to be true before and spent the whole night arguing. But it turns out this is totally not worth it. Shame on me! Please excuse me while I go outside. and throw up.]
[Why are there such evil parents in this world? My eyes have been opened, and I finally understand why Cecilia did what she did.]
[To these types of parents, forcing them to their knees for a while is really letting them off too easily. If I were Cecilia, I'd break their knees. and pull out all their teeth. After all, they don't behave like human beings!]
Cecilia turned off her computer after she saw how the tables had turned.
She stood up, took Christopher's hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go to Acocester to meet Grandma Elaine!"
Christopher had always remained calm when facing anything, yet he was a little nervous when he heard this. The True Lady Strikes Back

"Ceci, I'm much older than you, and my reputation isn't that great. Won't Mrs. Shaw dislike me?"
He didn't know much about the Shaw family, but he understood that they were straightforward and did not tolerate any nonsense. A "flawed" person like him was likely unable to impress the Shaw family. This was going to be a problem since the older generation had more traditional mindsets.
Cecilia could feel dampness in her palms and knew that Christopher was sweating.
She looked up into his worried eyes and said resolutely, "As long as I
fancy someone, Grandma Elaine will definitely approve. But..." She then paused on purpose. Christopher, who was already nervous, became even more anxious and asked, "But what?"
