Chapter 664: Losing Veridia’s Face

This Weibo post stunned everyone.

Especially those who had always claimed Adrian Law was just using Cecilia Vaughn as a shield.

——From The Eldest Young Master Law’s pictures, it seems that he was the one pursuing Cecilia Vaughn first?

——That’s impossible. How blind must The Eldest Young Master Law be to fall in love at first sight with a woman who’s been to jail? Can’t he find any rich, beautiful woman or actress?

——I bet The Eldest Young Master Law is just doing public relations to maintain mutual public acceptance for their shared interests as a couple. This draft is so pretentious, there’s no way he wrote it himself.

...

Some people accused Cecilia Vaughn and Adrian Law of being in a relationship just for benefits, but there were also those who truly believed in their love.

——You’re way too sour, those above. Do you really think someone like The Eldest Young Master Law needs to respond to public relations? With his status, unless he truly loves Cecilia deeply and doesn’t want her to suffer any injustice, there’s no need to clarify about a shield.

——Yeah, I think Young Master Law is so sweet, hahaha. He actually saw those baseless talks and made such a witty and poetic response.

——Although it’s not appropriate to compare to that fake couple from the entertainment industry last time, do you remember, some actress was just a true love shield for her husband, whenever her wealthy second-generation husband had a mishap, he never responded. If he did, it was only after making that actress act wronged, saying her husband loved her dearly, it must be a misunderstanding.

——Exactly, looking at Young Master Law, he’s so protective! He stood up for her himself, I’m so touched, what an absolute beautiful love!

...

Seeing those analyses, Cecilia Vaughn didn’t know whether to feel sour or moved.

Just like netizens said, sometimes waking up in the middle of the night, she almost doubted if everything before her was real.

Finding such a perfect soulmate, she’s really afraid that reaching out she wouldn’t be able to hold onto it.

Luckily, every time she wakes up, Adrian Law is by her side.

He would even hug her, with a doting smile, saying dreams are always the opposite.

Of course, Cecilia Vaughn didn’t believe this comfort, vaguely remembering her response was, if she dreamt of them growing old together, would that dream also be the opposite?

Upon hearing, Adrian Law’s lips curled, his eyes flickering with scattered starry glimmers under the dim wall lamp.

——Cecilia, if you dream of the good side, reality will only be better, if you dream of us separated at the ends of the earth, then the dream is the opposite, no rebuttal accepted.

Clearly, the man was seriously spouting nonsense.

Yet Cecilia Vaughn was mesmerized by Adrian Law’s earnest gaze hidden within his jest, her eyes welled up, suddenly understanding Adrian’s intention.

Actions speak louder than words.

As long as the love and commitment between her and Adrian remain unchanged, no change in circumstances would separate them.

Death might part them, but life never.

...

Initially, reversing public opinion seemed difficult. Unexpectedly, because of Adrian Law’s voluntary stance, they gained quite a lot of favor.

More and more people believed they were truly in love, not just a union of interest.

The Radiant Group’s public relations team assigned to Cecilia Vaughn also identified those few with the harshest, most vulgar comments exceeding 500 likes and shares.

To Cecilia Vaughn’s surprise, among them were not only people of seemingly low quality, but even a good student from a prestigious university, her neighboring alumnus.

Cecilia Vaughn forgave none and chose to sue directly.

In truth, she might not gain much compensation, at most two thousand per person, far less than the effort she put into investigating them, and she didn’t care about such small change.

However, Cecilia insisted on having lawyers send legal notices. Those people, originally mere jesters, panicked instantly, some even actively seeking reconciliation.

Cecilia naturally shut her doors to them, no way would she meet, she’s on winter break and Starfall Bay’s security isn’t just for show, who would let them in?

If those people really caused trouble at Starfall Bay, it would only add to their crimes, trespassing is far more severe than boasting online.

...

The handling of the situation was simple. Cecilia Vaughn did not demand compensation, but was harsher without monetary requests.

She directly posted their derogatory remarks to their work colleague circles or school classmates.

This backlash was obviously much heavier than two thousand bucks, colleagues and classmates who had initially liked them started to distance themselves.

No one wants an outwardly gentle but inwardly vulgar friend.

The internet is no lawless place, this incident should serve as a lasting lesson for them. As for whether they wish to repent or repeat, it’s no longer Cecilia Vaughn’s concern.

...

The next day, Cecilia Vaughn and Adrian Law took a flight to Orleanna.

To keep a low profile, they didn’t choose a private helicopter but flew commercially with other Law Group members attending the wine event.

Before security, an eager reporter rushed forward with a microphone.

"The Eldest Young Master Law, Miss Vaughn, could you please answer? Are you a couple in name only or, as Young Master Law tweeted, did he truly fall for her at first sight?"

Adrian Law glanced casually at the reporter, just gestured with his luggage, then turned away holding Cecilia’s hand.

Adrian Law said nothing, leaving the reporter puzzled.

He instantly thought of writing a sensational headline.

——The Eldest Young Master Law refuses to comment on his feelings at the airport, does true love in high society exist?

The reporter felt pleased, he hadn’t confirmed anything, yet the tone subtly suggested a bias, so even if Adrian Law sued with Cecilia, it wouldn’t work.

Who could argue against the depth of language?

The reporter prepared to tidy up and publish the piece, but his editor, after examining the footage, scolded him.

——How foolish can you be? Didn’t you see The Eldest Young Master Law flaunting his luggage? While Cecilia’s hands were empty, isn’t it obvious he pampered her or it’s a delineation of family status?

——Regardless of their true feelings, why not just help The Eldest Young Master Law spread some love?

...

The editor’s insight proved better than that of the young reporter. They compiled the video and reporter’s draft, posting it online, indeed attracting many starry-eyed young female fans.

——Oh my, The Eldest Young Master Law humbles himself to carry luggage, there’s nothing arrogant about him towards his wife; it’s so romantic! My daily dose of beautiful love, I’m lemon jealous! So sour!

There were also haters deliberately opposing, but they remained few, soon drowned in the comments.

——What’s romantic about that, they say Young Master Law’s French is great, let’s just hope that woman who’d been in prison doesn’t shame us Veridian people!
