Chapter 798 Natalieâs frown deepened as she listened. Lexi finished speaking and she stood still, not saying a single word.
It came to Lexi that Natalie was too upset to speak, so she hurriedly tried to comfort her, âBoss, I must say your design styles are absolutely stunning.
The people criticizing your design styles are simply too ignorant to appreciate it. They make judgments about fashion without truly understanding its essence. finovels.com Plus, we can simply ask Mr. Larson to handle these haters. I can call Sean right now and have the Larson Groupâs legal team sue them for this.
Natalie reached out and held Lexiâs hand. âDonât. Itâs alright,â she said. âI donât want to have to depend on Brandon to consistently handle my problems for me. I can deal with this myself.â
âBut...â Lexi couldnât help but remain worried. To Lexi, Natalie was a sweet, gentle person. It was easy for people like her to be victims to cyber bullying.
While Lexi was still deep in thought, Natalieâs phone rang. It was Brandon.
The instant the call connected, Brandonâs worried voice came from the other end.
âAre you alright, Natalie? I saw what people are saying online. Itâs clear that someone paid money to have you be made fun of on the Internet. Iâm going to have someone deal with the whole thing immediately.â
Natalie had a smile on her face as she said, âNo. Itâs fine. I want them to continue to talk.â Brandon was taken aback. âWhat? Why? Theyâre slandering your name and business, this isnât a good thing.â
Natalieâs voice sounded devious as she responded, âYouâll find out why in a couple of days.â Time went by and the hate only increased. It got so much that statements and posts mocking Natalie crashed the studioâs official website and the bullying escalated to personal attacks against her.
Brandonâs heart was in pieces and his head was full of rage as he watched his wife get attacked so mercilessly.
They got home that night and Natalie saw Brandon sitting on the sofa with a crestfallen expression. She gave him a playful smile and said, âWhoâs making my dear husband so angry?â Brandon found it difficult to stay angry in the face of Natalieâs gentle smile.
He sighed helplessly and pulled Natalie into his arms, his voice soft as he said, âI know you want to use this to publicize the studio, but I donât think itâs the best. I donât like you getting slandered like this just to save a little promotion cost.â
Natalieâs heart warmed at her husbandâs concern for her. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled slyly as she said, âItâs alright. I have a plan. Once the studio has gotten enough publicity, Iâll stop.â
Brandon sighed and heaved helplessly in the face of Natalieâs positivity. âI know youâre very capable. I regret it now.â Natalie was confused. âWhat do you regret?â
Brandon nuzzled in Natalieâs neck, taking in her fragrance. He said in a muffled voice, âI regret making that agreement with you. If I hadnât demanded your studio make profit within eight months, you wouldnât be working so strenuously. Why would you subject yourself to online criticism just to save a few bucks on advertising?â
Natalie pushed Brandon from her slightly and cupped his face. She looked at him, her eyes filled with love and determination.
âThis isnât your fault. Even if weâd had no such agreement, I would still use this as promotion anyway.â Her tone was gentle yet firm.
As Natalie spoke, Brandonâs anger dissipated slowly.
He gave Natalie a soft kiss and said, his voice much calmer, âAlright, please enlighten me then, Miss White. Why must you utilize this bullying tactic?
If you donât explain it to me, Iâll be up all night worrying and wonât get to sleep.â
A devious smile formed on Natalieâs face and her eyes glistened with confidence. Her voice was firm when she spoke. âI believe in my skills, and I also believe people on the internet have good reasoning. It doesnât matter how harshly I am criticized now, with how good my work is, it would speak the truth for me very soon!â
As Natalie had foreseen, public opinion began to shift favourably after a few days.
Many individuals who admired Natalieâs design style voiced their support.
âFashion should be diverse, and each style has its own merits. You may not appreciate her design aesthetic, but that doesnât justify trampling on or ridiculing it.â
âMoving from criticizing her design style to launching personal attacks is more than just critique; itâs cyber bullying. âI find Natalieâs design outstanding and uniquely styled. I support Natalie.â
âI too support Natalie...â
Witnessing the change in public sentiment, Lexi let out a sigh of relief. She couldnât help but admire Natalieâs ability to predict trends. âBoss, youâre incredible! How did you know the public opinion would shift?â

ï¤Chapter 1329 Meet My Brothers by Red Thirteen ï¤Chapter 1187 Natalie smiled modestly. âInternet users have discerning eyes and aesthetic sense. They can judge the quality of a work for themselves.
No matter how hard the naysayers try to smear my reputation, they canât undermine my design skills. Eventually, users will return to a rational aesthetic sense. Those who were paid to attack me will ultimately face backlash.â
Listening to her words, Lexiâs admiration for Natalie grew. âBoss, you truly have a knack for forecasting! It seems all the plots and schemes canât stand against genuine talent, she exclaimed.
With a bashful grin, Natalie replied seriously, âWell, Iâm not as proficient as you suggest. Letâs capitalize on this public sentiment and release the sets of designs I prepared earlier.
âAbsolutely, boss!â Lexi now looked up to Natalie completely.
