"Looks like it. Even Royce's comeback couldn't turn the tide this time. Seems like the Harper dynasty is on the brink of a change."
"Am I the only one who's curious about Elizabeth's condition?"
The buzzing crowd suddenly fell silent.
"Yeah, is Elizabeth even alive? Judging by Royce's grim expression, things don't look good."
The appearance of Royce undoubtedly stirred up a whirlwind of interest. Conspiracy theories about the plane crash began to circulate online. There were various versions, and opinions were divided.
Most of the speculation centered around Robin, who seemed to be the biggest beneficiary since the plane crash. His presence in the company was greeted with awkward expressions and attitudes from the staff. The impact of the incident on him was profound.d2
Meanwhile, the internet was rife with conspiracy theories surrounding the plane crash, with the second most popular topic being the controversy over Chloe's design copyrights. To mitigate his negative online image, Robin immediately directed the Public Relations Department to tackle the issue. The PR Department's strategy was to promote one and downplay the other. They pushed posts about Chloe to the top, overshadowing Robin's trending topics.
"Using a dead person's design, aren't they afraid of being haunted? And it's plagiarism, aren't they afraid of ghosts knocking at their door at night?"
"Plagiarism is the same as copying. People like this should be boycotted."
Watching the post about her quickly overtake the one about the plane crash, Chloe laughed like a cunning, sly fox. After contemplating for a while, she picked up the phone and dialed a number at the company.
Half an hour later, the internet was practically paralyzed. Not because of anything else, but because of Chloe's audacious move. At a time when everybody was waiting to mock her, she shockingly announced that her new series would start filming ahead of schedule.
There was no promotion of the series afterwards, so everyone thought she had backed down. At the very least, they thought the series would be put on hold, waiting for the storm to pass, before making any further decisions. However, she chose to go ahead at this critical juncture.
The barrage of online attacks was relentless. This time, it seemed like all those waiting for Chloe to explain had been incensed.
"We've waited for two days, she hasn't given a single explanation, and the next news we hear is that they're starting filming early?"
"What the hell? What is she trying to say? Does she think we're nitpicking? That we're making a big deal out of a deceased person's work?"
"She can use the work of the deceased, but she didn't even explain beforehand. If it wasn't discovered by others, would she have kept it a secret that the work was actually someone else's?"
"I'm really disappointed in Ms. Summers this time. I've always admired and trusted her. I've been waiting for her to give us, her fans, a satisfying response, but she still hasn't changed her ways."
"That's right, I've been telling other fans to stay calm, and I firmly believed that she would surprise us. But now, we are so disappointed."
"I think she's become arrogant because of her popularity. She does whatever she wants, not caring about her fans' feelings."
