Chapter 263 Targeting Her Alone
+8 Pearls
After all, only a few people knew the truth about what really happened. The public still hadn’t changed its view of Asher.
To most people, he was just a bold and perverted teenager–a criminal pect.
The hate was inevitable.
But now, Jean had been dragged into it too.
She found it far too suspicious that her efforts to help Asher had suddenly been exposed online. The timing. was just too perfect.
Then she remembered the run-in with Thomas….
Was it him?
Chances were high that Thomas had fanned the flames, stirring up public opinion online.
He knew exactly what he was doing. By making things harder for her and forcing her to back down, Asher would be left without any help–completely at their mercy.
Jean frowned as her fingers rapidly swiped across her phone screen.
The flood of hateful tweets on Twitter was endless.
Some were attacking Asher. Others were targeting her. Some were dragging both of them through the mud.
“Has that scumbag Asher still not been convicted? Just because he’s underage doesn’t mean he should get away with it, okay?”
“Not yet. The trial’s not for a while. They can’t sentence him until then.”
“He’s a minor, so who knows what the punishment will even be.”
“Whatever happens, they better not go easy on him. I feel so bad for the girl who got hurt.”
“Asher should just drop dead already. Every second he’s alive makes me sick.”
“Is it true Jean got a lawyer to help Asher fight the case?”
“Pretty sure it’s true. Someone saw her at the station where he’s being held…”
“Why would she do that? She’s a girl too. Shouldn’t she be supporting the victim instead of help a predator?”
“They’re classmates or something. Maybe they were close to begin with…”
“And that excuses Jean’s total lack of moral judgment? I’m so disappointed in her.”
“I used to like her, kind of. This just shattered that completely. What the hell is wrong with her? Not enough homework? Go read a book instead of embarrassing yourself.”

Chapter 263 Targeting Her Alone
“Two scumbags, ugh.”
“Figures trash attracts trash. Get lost, both of you!”
“Jean was never a good person. She’s had her fair share of drama.”
“Spill it. What drama?”
“Just look it up online. It’s all there.”

“Don’t spread lies. All those rumors were cleared up, okay? She didn’t cheat or hurt anyone. She’s been clean.”
“Oh, really? Then how do you explain her helping a sexual assault suspect? No coming back from that.” “Stans, get out. Jean’s finished this time. She’s a shameless, clueless mess.”
Jean exited Twitter and returned to Jolene’s law firm.
“I already saw what’s on Twitter,” Jolene said as soon as Jean stepped into the office.
Her gaze carried a trace of concern. “Don’t worry about the public opinion right now…”
Jean shook her head and cut her off with a light laugh. “I’m not worried.”
Her eyes gleamed as she looked at Jolene, her tone casual. “Good thing you haven’t been dragged into this too.”
For some reason, news of Jolene defending Asher hadn’t leaked online.
Only Jean had been thrown under the spotlight.
Which made it all the more obvious–this had been orchestrated by Thomas.
He was targeting her and her alone.
