Chapter 228 Gossip Dies Down
Melanie chided herself for the careless mistake of posting the tweets at home. She continued to think things through, and she was even more determined to carry out her plan.
However, now was not the time to act. Morales and Morgan were not back yet, so she could not do anything. How was she going to deal with the news online?
Feeling rather helpless, Melanie turned to Josie and asked, “Mom, what should I do now?”
Josie sighed, and her tone was a little accusatory as she said, “I told you to just bear with it for now, but you didn’t listen to me.”
It had to be said that Josie was fretting too. If Hanson did decide to look into everything, they would surely be exposed, and it went without saying that Vania would not be letting them get away with this either.
“Mom, you didn’t try to stop me when I released the news, so what’s the point of saying this now? Hurry up and think of a way out of this. What should we do now?” Melanie huffed. She was beginning to regret her recklessness too.
Josie rested her forehead against her hand and said, “What else can we do? Whatever you do right now will just make things worse. Stop paying any attention to this. Just let the news die out by itself. We’ll find another chance to go after Vania.”
“But what if Hanson gets suspicious after seeing those comments?” This was what Melanie feared the most.
“Find someone to deal with those comments then, but don’t bother with anything else.” Josie was feeling rather helpless too.
Melanie had nothing better to suggest, so she had to swallow her anger and nod in agreement.

Back at Luke Corporation, when Hanson saw the new information that exposed Melanie, he was intrigued and started to look into the IP address of the Twitter account that posted that information.
When he saw the location of the IP address, he was stunned. It was the same location as the hackers from before, which was Vania’s residence.
The cogs in Hanson’s mind began spinning as he recalled everything that happened so far, as well as those children’s interests. A thought popped into his head. Could it be them?
He decided against looking into it now, but he made a mental note of it. Perhaps there would be a surprise in store for him someday.
In any case, the news died down just like that. This was always the case with all these sorts of online gossip. Good or bad, it would all die down with time.
Many people would soon forget about this since it did not involve them personally anyway. Furthermore, many of these comments were either from eager gossipers or fake accounts that were fanning the flames on purpose, so they were not concerned about the truth at all.
After a while, all the nasty comments about Melanie died off too.
Meanwhile, Fantasy Daydream Jewelry kept breaking sales record after sales record.
Luke Corporation’s jewelry arm had never seen such high revenue before.
“Congratulations, President Luke! Wonderful news, President Luke!” The director of the sales department was grinning from ear to ear.
Hanson stared at the director who was as jolly as Santa Claus right now and commented teasingly, “Others might think that I’m getting married.”
Immediately, the sales director tried to wipe the smile off his face as he scratched his head awkwardly. “I’m just too excited that I ended up speaking without thinking.”
Hanson had already seen the sales report, so he nodded and said, “You did well.”
Praises rarely came out of Hanson’s mouth, and the sales director’s cheeks were aching from how wide his smile was.
As for Larry, he was wise enough to discern that this was all due to Vania. Otherwise, Hanson would not be as enthusiastic about this.
Hanson was indeed in an excellent mood, so he declared, “I know how hard everyone worked on this, so let’s have a celebratory dinner at Hammond International Hotel tomorrow. We’ll start at 5.00PM.”
