Chapter 1313 Cyber Bullying
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Lexi jumped when she heard Janetâs voice behind her.
She panicked and tried stashing her phone away, then acted like nothing had happened. âBoss, hi,
what are you doing. here? Everythingâs fine. Iâm fine.â
Janet wasnât one to be fooled. Lexiâs eyes told her everything she needed to know. She walked forward
and asked, âWhat are you hiding from me, Lexi?â
Lexi realized she would not be able to hide the truth, so she hung her head low and told Janet how her
design was being criticized and mocked on the internet all of a sudden.
Janetâs frown deepened as she listened. Lexi finished speaking and she stood still, not saying a single
word.
It came to Lexi that Janet 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.
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.
Janet 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
âButâ¦â Lexi couldnât help but remain worried. To Lexi, Janet 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, Janetâs phone rang. It was Brandon.
The instant the call connected, Brandonâs worried voice came from the other end.
âAre you alright, Janet? 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
Janet 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
Janetâs 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 Janet 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 Janet saw Brandon sitting on the sofa with a crestfallen expression. She
gave him a playful smile and said, âWhoâs makingmy dear husband so angry?â Brandon found it difficult
to stay angry in the face of Janetâs gentle smile.
He sighed helplessly and pulled Janet 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
Janetâs 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 Janetâs positivity. âI know youâre very capable. I
regret it now.â Janet was confused. âWhat do you regret?â
Brandon nuzzled in Janetâs 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, visit ninja
novel.com you wouldnât be working so strenuously.
Why would you subject yourself to online criticism just to save a few bucks on advertising?â
Janet 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 Janet spoke, Brandonâs anger dissipated slowly.
He gave Janet 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 Janetâs 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
