Chapter 304:
Kristine blinked in surprise. “Did you hire a caregiver for me p>
Danica shook her head. “Nope — that’s something the hospital arranged. When I got here, she even offered to bring up the food, but I wanted to carry it myself so I could see you.” Then, fixing Kristine with a sly look, she added, “Earlier you said you didn’t buy my theory about Asher, right? Well, I’ve found proof p>
A smile tugged at Kristine’s lips. “So that’s what had you glued to your phone p>
“Exactly.” Danica held out her phone triumphantly, eager to share her discovery. “Take a look p>
Kristine stared at the screen, unable to make heads or tails of what she was seeing. A puzzled look crossed her face as she turned to Danica for answers.
Danica let out a small laugh. “You really aren’t on Twitter much, are you? That’s your fan forum — but it’s been wiped clean. I tried searching your name, and every post about you, even the ones using nicknames or similar words, has been taken down or blocked. Do you know what that means p>
Kristine shook her head. “I don’t know p>
Danica explained, a flicker of pride in her tone. “That’s what happens when someone hires a top-tier PR team to cover for you. It’s not just about throwing money around — you need the right people in your corner. Honestly, it has to be Asher behind this. Isn’t it obvious how much he cares about you p>
Kristine’s expression darkened instantly. “You’re saying every conversation about me is being scrubbed from the internet p>
“That’s right p>
“It’s not Asher’s doing p>

“Who else could it be? In Peudon, only the Edwards family could manage something like this…” Danica trailed off, studying Kristine’s face. “What’s wrong? Why do you look so worried p>
A sinking feeling crept into Kristine’s chest. She had told Asher just that morning that shutting down public discussions would only make things worse. Asher was smart — he would never do something so reckless unless someone else had acted first.
Kristine quickly navigated to the official Antique Matchup account and tapped the latest update.
Just as she had feared, public opinion had taken a sharp turn. Comments flooded in, showering Elyse with praise while painting Kristine as the villain trying to silence her critics. Rumors swirled that she was involved with some influential man. Photos showing her alongside Asher only fueled the narrative that she was using personal connections to suppress ordinary people online. The backlash was relentless. Even though her name wasn’t directly mentioned, anyone paying attention knew exactly who the posts were targeting.
Danica’s fists clenched in outrage as she scrolled through the hate. When Kristine had warned her earlier that silencing the internet would only make things worse, she hadn’t believed it. Now the proof was right in front of her.
“If Asher wasn’t behind this, then who else could pull it off?” Danica asked, her voice shaking.
