Chapter 1529
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
Something was seriously amiss.
Just as Diana was about to contact Vans to see if he knew what was going on, Sean approached her with a grave expression, holding a laptop in his hand.
âMommy, Auntâs in trouble.â
He recounted the situation online to Diana, and showed her the video. âShould I step in now to clear her name online?â
Nina was publicly being shamed on the internet because of this news.
Dianaâs heart sank as she saw the blatant sharing of Ninaâs real address and various manipulated photos.
âSean, Iâm counting on you!â she pleaded.
Apart from shielding Nina from these harmful online messages, Diana was concerned about Ninaâs safety. After numerous attempts, she finally managed to get through to Nina.
âDiana, I wonât be able to come see you today,â Nina said.
âItâs okay,â Diana replied, âIâve seen whatâs going on online. Just take care of yourself, and donât go home for now.â
Diana was worried about Ninaâs safety. âDoes Vans know about this? Has he contacted you?â
Little did she know, Vans was at the heart of the issue.
Nina didnât even have the mood to talk about Vans at this moment. She sighed. â Donât worry about it. I can always go back to the office if needed.â
Diana could sense that Nina couldnât rely on Vans. She had once hoped to give both Vans and Nina a chance, but now, she felt deeply sympathetic toward Nina.
âCome to my place.â Her tone was firm. âIâll inform security to upgrade all the facilities. Youâll be safe with me.â
Diana wanted to protect Nina, just as Nina wanted to protect her.
âNo,â Nina replied. âIn this digital age, even if those people canât get to you, once they know Iâm with you, Sean and Betty will be at risk. Theyâre still so young. I canât let them get involved.â
Just as Diana was about to continue persuading Nina, Sean interrupted, looking visibly distressed.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updatesâ¦
âWhatâs wrong?â Diana asked.
âMommy.â Seanâs face was creased with worry-a rare sight. âIâve managed to delete all the information about Aunt that was leaked online, butâ¦â
He paused, his face unusually serious.
âItâs not just fans now. Even ordinary netizens are joining in the backlash. Theyâre saying that there are people behind Aunt Nina, daring to delete comments, and theyâre determined to expose everything!â
Diana was taken aback by this turn of events. She was momentarily stunned, but Nina was quick to respond.
âSean!â
Her voice was as clear as ever, reassuring Diana.
âItâs been a while! Iâve missed you! Thank you, Sean, for helping clean up online for me, but this is something for the adults to handle. Trust me to take care of it, okay?â
Ultimately, there were three main groups currently targeting Nina.
One group consisted of Marcusâs fans. They felt that Marcus shouldnât be associating with Nina, a controversial entertainment reporter. They viewed it as a bad omen. They were determined to vilify her relentlessly, attempting to create distance between Marcus and her.
Another faction consisted of fans whom Nina had offended in the past with her exposure articles. They saw this as their golden opportunity to unleash their pent-up hate against her, and wouldnât let it slip by.
They also feared Nina would get too close to their beloved idol, so they intensified their attacks.
The harshest commentsâaccusations of Nina being shameless and blackmailing Marcus into being with her- and various curses and doctored images primarily originated from this group.
Lastly, there were general netizens outside these fandoms who, due to Seanâs efforts in cleaning up the online content, began to harbor resentment against Nina.
Sean could deduce the difficulties of the situation.
Despite Ninaâs attempts to comfort him, he felt guilty. Sensing Seanâs conflicted emotions, Nina cleverly remarked, âWell, I deserve all of this, you know?â
Ninaâs voice held a teasing tone. âBecause Iâm truly with Marcus now. Sean, youâre getting a godfather!â
Marcus was silent as he listened to Nina.
Was this woman out of her mind?
Even if he lost his sanity, he would never entertain the idea of being associated with such a clingy individual!
