Chapter 1019: All the Shocking News (2/2)
This nasty online battle didn't take long, however, because the tabloids quickly changed their tune and redirected their line of fire from the newlyweds Iris Long and Jin Liwei to Rose Young, the woman who was seen as the victim in the whole situation earlier, but was now being painted as a shameless, obsessive homewrecker.
The sex videos featuring her moaning Jin Liwei's name drew outrage from the public. It disgusted and angered the Black Stars, causing them to feel extra protective of their Boss Iris's marriage with Jin Liwei.
Coveting someone else's spouse was taboo to a lot of people, especially wives and girlfriends who had their own fair share of experiences dealing with their partners' mistresses. Not only did audacious women destroy marriages but they also fractured many families. Of course, this kind of hatred also applied to boyfriends and husbands who had to deal with their partners' extramarital affairs.
As a result of the viral sex videos, Rose Young was now labelled a homewrecker. People felt that she deserved to be fired. Public sympathy quickly reversed from Rose Young to Iris Long. Since Iris Long was the official wife, she automatically gained the support of the majority of the people.
Despite this, there were still a few remaining naysayers who continued to defend Rose Young and attack Iris Long and Jin Liwei. They said that the sudden reversal of the situation was suspicious. Then they claimed that Iris Long and Jin Liwei must have manipulated the events to clear their names while casting all the blame on Rose Young. This group, however, failed to elicit support from the general public.
The newlyweds' bad blood with Rose Young hadn't been resolved yet. It was still very hot in the news, especially on the internet where the sex videos were spreading like an infestation of bed bugs.
Although this was the case, Iris Long and Jin Liwei appeared to be unaffected by all the negative publicity related with Rose Young. Once again, their names appeared together on the news to show off their recent marriage through their widescale post-wedding celebrations in their companies.
It was basically just lunch—no big deal, right?
Wrong.
How could it not be a big deal?
