A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

A cautious female voice said through the phone, "Mr. Xu, we have found a suitable person, and his terms are reasonable. Do you want him to act now?"

Darren smiled gloomily. "Okay."

Public opinion had changed drastically ever since Emily's clarification of the issue during her press conference. They had thought that this issue would negatively impact Darren or at least make him the subject of online hate speech, but they were wrong.

Emily was quite concerned about the public opinion of her, but at that crucial moment, a man who claimed to be Darren publicly took the blame and claimed that he had only done what he had because of the grudge he held against Emily.

He posted online about how miserably he had lived. However, he never clarified his relationship with Emily. The only thing he said was that she deserved it. He wanted to earn sympathy by telling his own tragic story.

Not long after he took responsibility for the issue, the police immediately intervened.

After the incident, footage of another interview made its way online, hitting the headlines in just half an hour.

In the video, one reporter said into his mic, "Do you know that what you've done has negatively affected Mrs. Gu?

Her charity project is likely to end because of your story, which has misled the public. The beneficiaries of her project will no longer receive the help that they need. Do you know how many people have been thrust into hopelessness because of your actions?"

They were talking to the man who claimed to be Darren. He was wearing a black peaked cap, and his face was pale. Upon hearing this, he said disdainfully, "Unscrupulous reporters like you will only report what harm I've supposedly caused her. You will never think about how much harm she has caused me!

Can you imagine a person like her heading a charity project? Only fools will believe that she will actually donate anything!"

"Can you tell me what actually happened between you and Mrs. Gu?" The reporter paused as if thinking carefully about his next words. "Can you reveal to us what the public does not know about her? Who is the real Mrs. Gu?"
