chapter1152

Mandy's brows were pulled together in worry. This time, it felt like everything was about to fall apart.

She shot Rosie a look full of disappointment. "Rosie, what were you thinking? Even if Lydia really did something with Carter, this wasn't the way to handle it. Now everyone online is talking, and things are spinning out of control. How are we supposed to fix this?"

Rosie's eyes filled with tears as she looked around the room, panic written all over her face. I never meant for it to get this bad. I just wanted people on the internet to say a few things about her. I never wanted it to blow up like this. I swear, I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't mean for any of this to happen!"

Benjamin, who'd always been soft on Rosie, was shaking with anger. He himself was dragged through the mud online, and he felt like Rosie had brought shame to the whole Gibson family.

"Rosie, you've gone too far this time. We spoiled you too much, so you hide things from us, and now you've done something that's embarrassed us all.

Jackson scoffed at Benjamin's words. "This isn't just about family honor. What she did is going to pull us all down with her. With things as bad as they are, the investigators are watching every move we make."

He turned on Benjamin. And you. You're the Director of Protocol for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Everything you do reflects on the country. Now your own people are cursing your name online. Let's see how William handles this."

Mrs. Hydes slapped her hand down on the armrest, her voice trembling. "What a disaster... what are we supposed to do now?"

Rosie sat frozen as everyone pointed fingers at her. How had things gotten this out of hand? All it took was one photo, a few mean comments online, and suddenly her whole world was upside down.

How did it end up like this?

Why was this happening?

It had to be Lydia! Lydia must have found someone to blow things up on purpose.

Mr. Hydes let out a long breath, his voice low and steady. "Jackson, right now we need to focus on solving the problem."

Jackson took a deep breath, trying to cool off. He looked at Mandy and Benjamin, "Everything I do and say is being watched by the investigation team can't get involved. You need to reach out to a PR firm now and get the trending topics taken down. Don't let this get any worse."

His meaning was clear. Rosie had made this mess and now they had to deal with it. He wasn't going to step in.

Mandy and Benjamin looked like they might break down. The whole situation was spiraling, and if Jackson wouldn't help, what could they do?

"Jackson..." Mandy's voice was shaky, almost begging.

Jackson cut her off before she could say more. "don't care how you do it, just get those trending topics off the internet and turn the public opinion around And get a good lawyer to find out who started these rumors Someone's definitely stirring things. up from behind the scenes."

"It's Lydia! It has to be Lydia!" Rosie cried out, her voice rising.

She must have hired people to do this to me!"

Jackson just shook his head, his voice cold. "Scared now, are you? I warned you not

to mess with Lydia, but you wouldn't listen."

Did Rosie really think Lydia was someone she could toy with?

He'd gotten burned by Lydia himself this time. Rosie even tried to smear her behind everyone's back... she really had no idea what she was in for.

Rosie crawled over, tears streaming down her face. She grabbed

Jackson's hand desperate "Uncle, Helpme, I

please, I'm begging

know I messed up."
