Chapter 557: On the hot search again.
On the way back, Robert Stephens called.
His warm male voice was deep and pleasant, like the sound of a fine cello, slowly flowing through the phone.
"Emma, are you okay?"
Emma Magus had originally calmed her anger, but upon hearing Robert Stephens’ voice, she didn’t know why, a wave of grievance suddenly surged up from her heart.
She said softly, "Brother Stephens..."
The grievance rendered her speechless.
"I’m here."
"I’m fine." She sniffed, swallowed the grievance, not wanting this gentle man to worry about her, "Thomas Woods is driving me home, I’m in the car right now."
Robert Stephens responded softly, "Okay, be careful on your way."
His gentle whisper, like a spring breeze, left Emma Magus in a daze for a long time even after she hung up the phone.
The evening breeze blew in from the window, and she suddenly felt a bit cold. She subconsciously looked up and saw her slightly flushed cheeks in the rearview mirror.
Gently stroking her cheek with her fingers, Emma lowered her eyes and couldn’t help but smile sweetly.
The feeling of being cared for is so wonderful...

The next day.
Daisy Ginger was not fully awake when Elena Raven’s call startled her.
"Daisy, something terrible happened!!"
The young girl’s voice was exceptionally sharp, instantly dispelling Daisy Ginger’s sleepiness. She instinctively asked, breaking free from the man’s embrace, "What happened?"
"You’re trending on social media again!"
Again?
Daisy Ginger’s heart skipped a beat, a foreboding feeling creeping in.
She logged into Weibo for a look and indeed found what Elena Raven was talking about.
Yesterday’s incident where she violently assaulted Emma Magus was indeed secretly photographed! The upload was only a screenshot, but the heroic image of her grabbing Emma’s hair and smashing it against the flowerbed was captured clearly.
However, to her surprise, in these photos, only Emma’s face was visible, whereas hers was pixelated!
The blogger uploaded nine pictures in total, and in each one, her face was blurred, leaving only Emma Magus’ beaten appearance.
The comments were buzzing with speculation about what Emma Magus must have done to deserve such a beating.
Some even started spreading rumors, saying that Emma was a mistress of a wealthy man and got beaten by the wife when caught.
Daisy Ginger exited that Weibo and searched for Emma Magus’ name in the search bar. She discovered "Emma Magus" was now associated with "beaten," "mistress," in a disgraceful manner.
Worse still, due to her notoriety, once a blogger posted the photos, within no time, thousands of bloggers had reposted them. Now, just typing in Emma Magus’ name, all that’s seen are the pitiful scenes of her being beaten.
Who did this?
Daisy Ginger lowered her head, suspiciously glanced at the person lying beside her.
Edward Stephens was sleeping soundly, Elena Raven’s call hadn’t even woken him up. Daisy Ginger reached out, pinching his nose, shaking her head.
It couldn’t be Edward Stephens; if he wanted to defend her, he wouldn’t use this method. After all, if this matter spread, it would also trouble her.
Even with the pixelated face, it would be easy to trace back to her.
But, no matter what, it’s clear someone is targeting Emma Magus.
Purposely blurring her face, exposing Emma’s face, buying marketing accounts to hype it up on social media, and hiring trolls to deliberately ruin Emma’s reputation, what’s their intent?
Such malice?
