Three Years Wasted I Married Mr. Right novel Chapter 205

“I won’t let that kind of disgrace stick to us. I need you all to rack your brains and find a way to fix this crisis,” he snapped.

The executives glanced at each other in awkward silence, no one daring to voice another objection.

Besides, no one would turn away a paying client. If Billy wouldn’t let go, they had other plans ready to go.

Just as everyone was deep in discussion, Lucas walked in without knocking.

The heated chatter came to an abrupt halt, and the room went dead silent. Every head turned to look at

Lucas.

Billy’s brows furrowed. “Why didn’t you knock before coming in? Do you have any manners at all?”

Surprisingly, Lucas didn’t react to the public scolding.

He looked straight at Billy and said, “Dad, I’ve got a PR plan that can turn things around for Yadel Group.”

“Let’s hear it,” Billy said.

A flicker of malice crossed Lucas’s eyes as he laid out his entire scheme.

Billy beamed with delight. “Lucas, if you’d put this kind of drive into the business from the start, we’d be unstoppable.”

The executives shot meaningful glances at one another, all thinking the same thing.

‘How ruthless,’ they thought.

After Sophia and Annabelle finished lunch, they suddenly got a call from Erica.

“Annabelle, this is bad! The Westwoods hired a crisis PR team. They’re pinning the entire regenerating cream scandal on Sophia. It’s trending on Twitter.”

Annabelle felt a jolt, and her phone almost slipped out of her hands.

She glanced anxiously at Sophia, quickly hung up, and logged onto Twitter.

A flood of posts filled her screen, her eyes narrowing in alarm.

Sophia had heard Erica’s words, too. She opened Twitter and saw the top trending topic: Yadel Group’s Regenerating Cream and Emotional Entanglement.

The words, seemingly disconnected, were eye–catching.

Sophia tapped into the trending topic and saw Yadel Group had just dropped a statement, claiming the whole regenerating cream scandal was all the work of Lucas’s secret wife.

They dumped all the blame on Sophia, then put on a show of sincerity, apologizing to consumers and swearing they’d handle it with the utmost seriousness–no betrayal would be tolerated.

The entire statement danced around the real issue: the regenerating cream had caused customers‘ faces to break out with severe skin damage.

Instead, they shifted the blame onto Sophia, saying she was out for revenge against the Westwood family. And to explain why, they even cooked up a whole story.

So now, Sophia wasn’t just the homewrecker who stole her sister’s man–she was also the scorned woman who schemed all this revenge because she couldn’t have Lucas.

A juicy story was what the public loved the most.

It didn’t have to be true. If it was told convincingly enough, it became the truth.

Once the narrative took hold, fueled by paid trolls, most netizens stopped caring about the facts.

Now Sophia wasn’t just labeled the homewrecker, but also a cold–hearted villainess, vicious and scheming.

Everyone online was out for Sophia’s blood, ready to tear her to shreds.

Sophia knew the Westwood family was shameless, but not to this extent.

Before she could even form a response, they released photos of her from three years ago, when she had first arrived in Jelasburg.

Back then, she looked pale and frail, with rough skin, dressed in ragged clothes and battered shoes, just like some clueless country girl.

People online judged her as if she had committed some unforgivable crime.

The comments section became a sewer of hate, saying she was bad inside and out, accusing her of sabotaging the cream’s formula just to make everyone as “hideous” as she was.

They slammed her for being vindictive and claimed she totally deserved it—no wonder the Yadel Group heir never loved her.

They were grinding her into the dirt, a target of universal condemnation.

Annabelle shot Sophie a worried look. “Sophie, what now? Should we go public and try to clear your name with a press conference?”

Before Sophia could reply, her phone suddenly rang. Richard’s name flashed on the caller ID.
