Chapter 466: Chapter 466: Dare to Act, but Not to Accept Responsibility
Public opinion once again reached its peak.
Evelyn Curtis’s fans went directly under the official Twitter of the Riley Group to blame, accusing Justin Battleson of distorting the truth and demanded a personal apology.
The conflict between the two sides rapidly escalated; Twitter was almost jammed, forcing technicians to work overnight to fix the bug.
Meanwhile, Charlotte Thompson was still in the hospital looking after Henry Hudson.
Henry’s injuries were healing substantially. He could just about sit up from the bed, but he still couldn’t get out of it.
Charlotte sat down in a chair, boredly flipping through a book.
She had been in the hospital almost oblivious to outside matters, almost cut off from the world.
She moved her stiff and sore neck, standing up from the chair.
She turned her head to find that there were no more fruits in the fruit tray on the bedside table.
So, she put down her book and looked at Henry, saying, "Henry, I’m going out to buy some fruits. I’ll be back soon."
On the bed, the man also had a book on his knees that he was almost finishing.
He casually flipped a page, looking up after hearing the words, answering with a light laugh, "Go ahead, be careful."
Charlotte picked up her bag and responded, before heading out the door.
There was a large crowd in the supermarket.
Charlotte took a shopping bag and went to the fruit section, where a variety of fruits were at her view.
She casually picked up a few and went to the cash register to pay.
There were many people; she queued up at the back of the long line.
Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her foot.
Someone had accidentally stepped on her foot while moving back in the crowd.
Charlotte stepped back in pain, seeing the girl who stepped on her foot turning her face around, prepared to apologise hastily.
"I am sorry," she said.
The girl looked up at her, her voice suddenly halted, and then somewhat unbelievably, "Charlotte Thompson... Are you Charlotte Thompson?"
Charlotte frowned slightly, awkwardly smiling, saying, "And you are?"
Before she could finish speaking, the girl’s face darkened.
She glanced at the fruits Charlotte was holding, grabbed them and threw them hard on the floor.
The fruits scattered on the ground.
Many spectators gathered around.
Charlotte looked at the girl somewhat baffled, with a frown on her face, "Miss, I don’t believe we’ve met before. What are you doing?"
Hearing this, the girl sneered and raised her voice slightly, "What am I doing? Charlotte Thompson, you don’t recognise me, but I definitely recognise you!"
Her face slightly distorted: "Charlotte Thompson, what exactly did you do to my idol? If you don’t let her out, do you think fans like us are easy to bully?"
Looking at her agitated expression, Charlotte probably figured it out.
She must be one of Evelyn Curtis’s crazy fans.
But how did they know about Evelyn Curtis’s imprisonment?
"You must be wondering how I know, right?" The girl sneered, showed her the phone in front of her and said, "I can’t believe how two-faced you are, Charlotte Thompson. Dare to do but not to admit?"
Charlotte saw the content on it, which was a Twitter hot search.
She had been in the hospital looking after Henry all this while and hardly had time to check her phone. She was indeed unaware of all these matters happening.
After reading the content, she frowned and said, "I will take care of this matter. Besides, Miss, this is a personal grievance between Evelyn Curtis and me. Don’t you think you’re meddling too much?"
After hearing this, the girl got angry again, raising her hand to slap her.
But before her hand could fall, it was caught by the security of the supermarket who had rushed over.
