Chapter 565: Clarification of Everything That Happened

Of course, Karen didn’t want to help Lucas.

But she also knew that she had to do it.

After all, the things she had said might deceive the completely clueless netizens. But Cheyenne, Charlotte, and the people around them all knew that her words were pure nonsense.

Now that she had been brought back safely by Lucas, if she continued to let the rumors spread, her daughters, Cheyenne and Charlotte, would be displeased.

After thinking about it, she acted like she was crying and said, “Cheyenne, I was forced to say those things during the stream this morning! You can’t blame me for it!

“And… about what I did to your dad last night… I didn’t mean to do it at all. The Taylors were the ones who forced me to do it. If I didn’t obey them, they would definitely have killed all of us!

“I was so terrified and frightened. I really had no other solution. In order to save you and Charlotte, I had no choice but to be ruthless to your father, especially since he’s already in this state!”

Cheyenne’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What? The Taylors forced you to do that to Dad too? Why? And why didn’t you tell me yesterday?”

Karen’s eyes flickered for a moment, and she quickly thought of a better way to phrase it. She then continued to cry sorrowfully and said, “Just like what they forced me to say during the stream, they wanted to kill your dad and then frame Lucas for it so that it would be convincing! I didn’t tell you about it because the Taylors threatened me not to say anything, or they would take you and Charlotte away! That’s why I couldn’t reveal anything to you even though you drove me away…”

When Cheyenne heard this, she couldn’t help tearing up.

She had been furious and upset about Karen’s attempt to kill William last night and had already decided not to see her again for the rest of her life. But after hearing about the cruel truth from her mother, her anger turned into an intense wave of regret.

She hugged Karen while bursting into tears. “Mom, it’s my fault for blaming you! I didn’t know you were forced into it and that you went through so much torment. I… I even said such harsh things to you and chased you away. I was really wrong to have done that! Mom, I’ve let you down!”

The mother and daughter hugged each other and wept bitterly.

Standing next to them, Lucas immediately frowned upon seeing this scene.

He was flabbergasted by how shameless Karen was being. She conveniently took advantage of the situation and pushed the blame on her attempt to take William’s life last night onto the Taylors’ coercion so that she could clear her name in front of Cheyenne.

Since Cheyenne wasn’t able to sever ties with Karen completely, deep down, she was unwilling to believe that her mother was a vicious woman. So after hearing Karen’s seemingly reasonable explanation, she immediately took her word for it and forgave her.

But Lucas merely glanced coldly at the pretending Karen and didn’t say much.

If he told Cheyenne that Karen wanted to kill William because of her own intentions and not because of any coercion, Cheyenne probably wouldn’t be able to accept it.

Forget it. Given Karen’s character, she’ll reveal her true colors sooner or later. I don’t have to rush it yet.

After both of them calmed down, Cheyenne once again requested Karen to clarify the matter about Lucas. “Mom, the stream’s impact is still continuing to escalate on the internet. It’s better to clarify things as soon as possible to minimize the damage. Shall we start making arrangements immediately?”

This time, Karen didn’t make any more excuses to delay and agreed.

Soon, with the help of the Taylors’ company platform that Frederick had arranged, Karen and the Taylors released a joint clarification on a stream to explain what had happened and even apologized to Lucas and the Stardust Corporation solemnly.

Since it was a clarification made by the protagonist of the stream this morning, who was now assuming the role of the victim, together with the helmsman of the prestigious Taylor family, the stream sparked an enormous reaction among netizens once it started.

“Oh my god! When I saw the stream this morning, I was so angry that I kept cursing. Yet it turns out to be fake? My feelings have been wasted!”

“What a twist! This is such a great twist! Sure enough, I shouldn’t be so quick to take sides. Now, I’ve been proven wrong! Lucas Gray, I apologize to you for scolding you and the Stardust Corporation!”

“Scott Taylor is really malicious! How shameless of him to do such a heartless thing!”

“Surprisingly, the Taylors’ helmsman has personally stepped forward to clarify. It seems legitimate! Ah, I’m suddenly speechless. I hereby apologize to Lucas Gray and the Stardust Corporation for slandering them for no reason!”

…

Due to the fact that the matter had a tremendous impact and the plot twist was completely unexpected, the clarification once again became a hot topic on major platforms on the internet.

Soon, topics and hashtags such as #KarenTurnerTruth #OweLucasGrayAnApology #TheStardustCorporationIsPitiful reached the top of the hot search lists.

Below the news, there were countless people spontaneously apologizing to the victims. And although Karen had lied to them this morning, she didn’t receive a scolding because she was a victim who had been forced. Instead, many began to be sympathetic toward her.

All in all, after this clarification, the immense negative impact that the stream had on Lucas and the Stardust Corporation was negated immediately, and the public even specially apologized or took sympathy on them.

There were also some people with an overwhelming sense of justice who specially showed more support to the Stardust Corporation as a means of apology.

Two hours later, Charlotte called Lucas and said in an exceptionally excited and relaxed tone, “Good news, Lucas! The crisis we’ve faced this time has been eradicated! Public opinion has changed, and the stock price has increased again. It’s even better than before!

“Also, many of the business partners who terminated their contracts with our company have called one after another to say that the termination is null and that they will sign larger contracts with us!

“In addition, there are many new partners who have taken the initiative to contact us. Also, the sales of some of our company’s stores and online stores have surged within the last two hours! According to our preliminary deduction, today’s incident not only recovered all the losses for the company but also gave us a boost in popularity and profits. It’s totally a blessing in disguise!”

Charlotte was so excited that she spoke for a long time, reporting all kinds of good news to him.

At the end, she hurriedly said, “My assistant just brought some new contracts. I have to seize the time and take a good look. Lucas, I’m hanging up now!”

Then Charlotte, who was full of energy, hung up the phone and went to deal with the matters regarding the new cooperation contracts.

Lucas smiled.

“Honey, were you talking to Charlotte? Why are you so happy all of a sudden?” Cheyenne walked over and put her arms around Lucas’s arm while looking at him with a warm and gentle expression.
