Chapter 577
When Natalie opened her phone to check the news, she saw a video of Lydia, about to jump off the hospital rooftop. It was right at the top of the home page of the Barnes’ biggest news website.
The entire Internet community was up in arms about it and filled with abuse. The video of Lydia on the rooftop had gone viral, and in it you could clearly hear Lydia’s hysterical questioning of Brandon.
The comments below were even worse. The most liked comment was from someone calling for a pushback against the Larson Group, which they said was a corrupt business. They were going to boycott all kinds of products from the Larson Group from now on, and any high-ranking reviews were going to be revised as best they could be, if not pulled down altogether.
“Stop watching it. It was bound to happen because these people know nothing about the truth. It will be fine once it all dies down.” Brandon turned off Natalie’s phone and said calmly, “It won’t annoy anyb*ody but us.”
There was nothing Natalie could do. Staring at the calm look on Brandon’s face, she asked, “What can I do for you?”
Brandon didn’t say anything. He was thinking hard. There were a lot of reporters outside the hospital. It would make things difficult if they were to take photos of Natalie.
After a long time, Brandon looked round to Sean, saying,
“Take her away. Make sure she gets home safe, okay?”
Then he looked down at Natalie and raised his hand to stroke her smooth, soft cheek. He smiled gently. “Wait for me there.”
