Chapter 1249: Chapter 1249: The Beaten Reporter’s Short Essay
Justin Battleson and Charlotte Thompson returned to the villa to find, as expected, a group of kids gathered around the computer; only this time there was an addition—a key figure—
Jonathan Thompson.
"I thought you had some powerful background, daring to slander our Charlotte like that. They’re really trying to grab attention by any means necessary."
The computer Jonathan controlled let out a cold chime, and when he looked up and saw Charlotte enter, he began to speak.
"I know you took Jack and Chad to the Ross Family today, so I thought I’d stay with you. Otherwise, how could these unscrupulous media tarnish our reputation at will?"
"It’s not a big deal."
Charlotte replied simply, as long as the kids weren’t hurt, that was the best outcome for her.
Then she shook the gift box in her hand and smiled toward the kids, "Fruit cake."
The kids, who had been hovering around Jonathan, couldn’t resist the temptation of fruit cake and one by one ran over to Charlotte’s side.
Charlotte had intended to distribute the cake to the kids, but Justin Battleson took it upon himself to do so.
"Go take a bath and change your clothes, don’t catch a cold," Justin arranged all the plates neatly.
Charlotte didn’t refuse Justin’s suggestion and prepared to go upstairs to take a shower, but as she passed the computer, she was a bit curious.
"What are netizens saying?"
Charlotte casually glanced over, Jonathan, who had been sitting in front of the computer, was now beside the fruit cake.
Hearing Charlotte’s question, he immediately looked up and answered, "What can they say? It’s all about Jack and Chad’s affair. The Ross Family held a press conference to clarify it. Does a minor magazine have any right to misrepresent the story?"
Charlotte thought so too.
Regarding Jack and Chad Thompson’s origins, the Thompson, Battleson, and Ross families had all made statements, directly addressing the various discussions at the time.
However, what Charlotte didn’t expect at all was that, during the brief time she took a shower, another issue had popped up online.
This time it wasn’t about Jack and Chad Thompson’s origins.
It was about Charlotte hitting a reporter.
Moreover, the reporter had directly posted a small essay.
It said that Charlotte seemed very approachable and gentle in temperament, but in reality, she was in a very bad mood; he was just trying to interview her when an angry Charlotte slapped him hard, and even the microphone was broken.
Then there was a whole article expressing disappointment in Charlotte, with vague references to some of the magazine’s reports.
Not to mention that between the lines, it even hinted that he seemed to know some inside scoop.
"Inside scoop?" Charlotte recalled the reporter she had slapped.
A reporter with such a temperament, if he really knew some inside story, would not have held back but would have exposed it directly.
What Charlotte didn’t expect was that the reporter’s small essay actually stirred up some ripples.
As to how many of the comments under the tweet were rhythm-leading and how many were spectators, it was unknown.
"Oh my god, how could someone like a reporter do such a thing? That’s Charlotte Thompson."
"How could it not be possible, those designers are so full of themselves, and when faced with reporters, aren’t they always aloof? It’s definitely possible that they could have hit a reporter."
"But Charlotte doesn’t seem like that kind of person."
"Some entertainment reporters are indeed annoying, but actually hitting someone is even more wrong."
Charlotte quickly skimmed the comments below and found them somewhat interesting.
