Chapter 529

“Did Mr. Lindberg accidentally press the wrong button? Or did an assistant log into Mr. Lindberg’s Twitter account?”

Lucian’s Twitter, which had been inactive for some time, occasionally retweeted the latest news on international business. The last time Lucian retweeted anything was three months ago.

Despite this, there were still numerous comments under Lucian’s Twitter.

“Mr. Lindberg is so handsome!!”

“I can’t believe you retweeted something!!!”

Most of the commentators were girls. After all, Lucian was once dubbed the Heartthrob by a single photo. He was the dream man of countless girls, the most famous entrepreneur in Northfield.

At this moment, many netizens expressed their doubts.

“Did Mr. Lindberg’s account get hacked??”

“Did his assistant post it?”

“Was it a slip of finger?”

As for Lucian, he logged out after following Allison, naturally unaware of the storm brewing on Twitter.

Meanwhile, everyone in Lindberg Corporation was watching the drama unfold.

In the break room.

“Did you hear the boss started following Allison?”

“What’s going on?”

“Mara, aren’t you up-to-date? Go check Twitter!”

A group of people then gave Mara a brief rundown of the situation. Mara nodded. “So that’s what happened. By the way, did Mr. Lindberg follow Penelope?”

This question stunned several people in the room.

“I don’t think he did.”

Suddenly everyone seemed to have discovered a secret that shouldn’t be uncovered. They fell silent, exchanging glances. Coffee from the machine overflowed. A female employee yelped and quickly picked it up. She looked around and whispered, “Do you think Mr. Lindberg likes Penelope?”

“No idea.”

“Who could know?”

“Shh…”

Shawn was also browsing Twitter. As netizens suggested that he, as the CEO’s assistant, had logged into Lucian’s Twitter and followed Allison, he couldn’t help but feel unjustly accused.

He opened Lucian’s Twitter.

Lucian’s Twitter was squeaky clean. It only had a dozen posts, and nearly all of them were related to major financial events. There was not an original post in sight. However, the likes and retweets were not few.

He clicked on Lucian’s following list. There were only three accounts.

One was the official account of a financial/media outlet. One was an automatic follow from Twitter itself.

And the third was Allison.

This was too blatant.

“Mr. Lindberg, are you sure you don’t want to follow Penelope to quell the speculations of Twitter users?”

The Flanagan family.

After throwing a tantrum, Penelope locked herself in her room, staring at her phone. The news of Lucian following Allison was trending on Twitter, and it was the first on trending list.

Her mood seemed to have completely collapsed. How could this happen? She slammed everything in front of her onto the floor.

Outside her door, Margo was knocking. “Ms. Penelope, are you alright?”

Leah and Christopher were both at the door. Both of them looked upset.

Christopher’s brows were tight. After all, the online rumors had started to affect the Flanagan family’s stock price, and any parent would worry about their daughter after seeing the negative comments online. “Penelope, open the door. Don’t shut yourself in there. Whatever it is, we’ll figure it out together.”

Leah clutched her chest. “Yes, Penelope, please open the door. Don’t scare your mom and dad.”
