Chapter 442: Chapter 259: Slandering Nora Scott? Whatever. Slandering Zero? Over My Dead Body.
There are countless people digging up dirt on Nora Scott online.
Most of it, apart from the "old scandals," isn’t anything new.
Now that this Weibo post has blown up, haters rush to spread it far and wide, expanding its influence without giving it a second thought.
Certain influential marketing accounts have been bribed to stay silent, but some unethical ones can’t wait to adapt the content without any basis, riding the wave of this trend.
Nora Scott’s newly formed fan group sensed the risk and immediately mobilized to control public opinion, engaging in a fierce battle against the haters.
But—
The storm of public discussion stirred by this matter is unstoppable.
In just one night, Nora Scott became hugely popular, making many envious. Now, hearing rumors unfavorable to her, they seize the opportunity to drag her down.
Someone discovered Nora attended a parents’ meeting for her half-brother, Marcus Shaw, and exaggerated certain rumors about him at school, relentlessly slandering;
Others brought up Nora’s past scandal of "sticking with rich men and being kept," fabricating tales that she should be well-versed in such matters, never missing out on any wealthy target;
Some claimed confidently that Nora is an illegitimate daughter, just like her mother, both clinging to wealthy men, scheming to enter high society. True elites wouldn’t even glance at her;
Others mocked that Zero’s persona is completely fabricated, aiming merely to "create a god," with the ultimate goal being Nora Scott’s comeback;
...
Of course, the rumor mongers were torn apart miserably.
Zero’s diehard fans are everywhere, their combat prowess is astonishing.
After the last live streaming incident, a group of readers smoothly transitioned into Nora Scott’s fan circle, most remain passive, minding their own business, tuning in to Base No. 9 on time and fancy praising Zero.
Their principle is—
Feel free to slander Nora Scott; slander Zero, you’re asking for trouble.
The haters’ only mistake was pulling Zero’s persona into the mess. Naturally, they were shredded into pieces by Zero’s fans, unable to glue themselves back together.
...
In one night, Nora Scott frequently topped the trending list, each time under a different headline.
#NoraScottIllegitimateDaughter#
#NoraScottParentsMeeting#
#NoraScottBrother#
#ZeroIsBackAgain#
Without Pedro Langley’s capital manipulating behind the scenes, none of these discussions were removed, oscillating on the list, attracting the eyes of netizens and passersby.
Yet, unexpectedly, the netizens’ unanimous reaction was—
[Waiting for Nora Scott to clap back.]
[Whoa, she’s wandering the trending list again?]
[Again her, again her, why is it always her.]
[??? Was this woman’s appearance kissed by God or something, any angle can look this stunning?]
Then, from certain savvy netizens—
[Checked out that middle-aged uncle in the photo. Ernesto Scott, chairman of Virtue Group. Emmm, both named Scott, these claims of mingling with parents are nonsense, what if they are father and daughter?]
[Starts with a photo, everything made up. No hand-holding, no hugging, just talking nearby, even talking with my uncle can get photographed into such an effect.]
[Don’t understand if Nora Scott is really an illegitimate daughter, so what? Is her birth something she can choose? Are netizens living by the sea and have nothing better to do?]
...
Nora Scott’s strong live broadcast performance captured a group of passerby fans, although they wouldn’t rank her or actively fight back against the negativity, they are inexplicably charmed by Nora’s charisma, instinctively choosing to believe her and reject baseless rumors.

At daybreak.
Received a friend’s call, learned about the online rumors of Ernesto Scott, erupted in anger.
"Who the hell started the rumors?"
The usually composed Ernesto Scott, upon hearing this, flew into a rage, even swearing.
"I just saw the news online and thought I’d let you know." The friend was startled, hastily said, "My child is one of her fans, shouting early this morning, pulling their mom to argue with haters online."
"What haters?"
Ernesto Scott was puzzled.
"Old fossil, you should get online." The friend said helplessly, "Anyway, there’s been talk online about Nora Scott being an illegitimate daughter; yesterday, someone with nothing better to do posted photos of you and Nora at a parents’ meeting at school, falsely claiming something about you two..."
The friend refrained from finishing the sentence.
They paused, then continued: "Once this blew up, people started looking up your identity. Netizens learned you both have the surname Scott and tied it with the earlier ’illegitimate daughter’ rumors, speculating about your relationship. Now everyone is debating online whether the ’illegitimate daughter’ claims are true or not."
