Chapter 1827

“It’s primarily due to the rumor spreading, and Margery confirmed it herself.

Dispelling those rumors is the easy part, but handling Margery is a different story.

”

Stella furrowed her brow, realizing Margery’s stance was crucial in the situation.

“I’ll swing by Dorburn and try to reason with Margery,” she said.

Matthew shook his head, saying, “Margery’s convinced our work didn’t measure up.

She won’t listen to your reason.

We might need Alissa’s help.

”

Stella felt awkward about imposing on Alissa again.

“I’ve already asked a lot of her.

It doesn’t seem right to ask for more, especially if it could damage her reputation…”

“Don’t worry about it.

If she’s willing to help you, she won’t mind such minor details,” Matthew said.

Then he continued with a scowl, “But let’s not rush.

We need to uncover the truth first.

”

Stella paused, meeting Matthew’s gaze.

“Do you think there’s more to this?”

Matthew’s expression turned serious.

“There’s definitely something fishy going on.

With the damage done, it’s time to find out who’s behind it all.

”

“What’s your plan? Can I do anything to help?” Stella asked.

Matthew shook his head.

“Just sit tight.

Focus on the paternity test results with Bella.

I’ll take care of this.

”

As soon as Elizabeth woke up the next day, she read the news.

Stella was being criticized by netizens from all walks of life.

She was accused of being not dedicated to her work and making shady money.

Some posts and comments even escalated to personal attacks.

Upon seeing Stella being scolded, there was no doubt Elizabeth was excited.

But at the same time, she also felt confused.

Where was Matthew? Judging from his character, he couldn’t sit still and watch Stella being bullied like this.

He should have already come out to clarify the rumors for her.

But there was no reaction from him at all.

This didn’t seem his way of dealing with matters concerning Stella.

Could it be that Matthew had not received the news yet? Or perhaps he had already known and was thinking of countermeasures.

Elizabeth waited patiently all morning, but Prosperity Group still didn’t take any action.

The rumors were getting worse, but no one from Stella’s side made a move to counter them.

This was exactly the result Elizabeth wanted.

However, everything went so smoothly that it made her feel a little uneasy.

She was afraid something would go wrong.

Elizabeth thought for a while.

Then, she immediately called Kristian and asked, “Is there anything unusual in Dorburn?”

“Nothing.

Why? What’s wrong?” Kristian sounded a little confused.

Elizabeth frowned.

“I just feel a little strange.

Stella’s reputation is being ruined so badly, but Matthew is not doing anything.

Is he just standing idly by and watching? It doesn’t make any sense to me.

”

“It’s because I handled this matter cleanly.

I didn’t even show my face when I asked Margery for help.

”

As he spoke, Kristian’s voice gradually became complacent.

“Anyway, I did it very secretly.

Even if the truth of this matter is exposed in the end, they won’t find out it was us.
