The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1561 The Change in the Public Opinion

There were three people in the meeting earlier today and they had conversed about film roles. Since there was a third person present, it seemed rather suspicious when only photos of Ian and Yulia were published.

After Cindy had made that statement, the public could no longer stick to their own opinions.

The fact that there was another person at the scene became the strongest evidence.

Many people had been influenced by the flow and they more or less felt that Ian’s action of standing up to deny his relationship with Yulia was an attempt to shirk his responsibility.

After all, it was Yulia Noble who was involved in the incident. She had a powerful background, not to mention the beauty, so it would be normal for an emerging celebrity like him to latch on to her to become more successful. Yet, when the news had spread, he actually stood up to deny everything to save his reputation.

However, Cindy’s statement now mentioned the presence of a third person at the scene. Although she did not reveal the identity of this person, the public presumed that it could be Cindy herself.

After all, lying about this sort of matter would be pointless since it would be no different from taking a slap in the face when the paparazzi could easily expose the lie by providing a photo that proved the real situation. Hence, a wise person wouldn’t lie at this point of time.

As such, the angle of the discussion in the Internet changed. Many netizens started to question the media who took the photos in secret about the existence of the said third person.

Since Cindy had openly made such a statement, she must have possessed some sort of evidence. If there indeed was a third person present at the scene, the fact that only two people had been captured in the photos illustrated that something fishy was going on.

It wasn’t one or two photos but all of which omitted the third person, which was rather evident that it had been done on purpose.

After Cindy’s statement had been hyped, Yulia quickly posted a statement from her side.

Her statement had the same meaning as Ian’s—she mentioned that their meeting was indeed to discuss work and not for personal reasons.

However, the timing of her statement was rather off. If she wanted to make a statement before Cindy made hers, it would’ve been clear that she was trying to clarify the matter together with Ian. The truth of the matter was that she posted her statement right after Cindy had made hers, which changed the direction of public opinion in the Internet and created the sense that her clarifications were insincere.

Hence, Yulia was given the nickname of ‘pretentious b*tch’ and the news about her special treatment of Ian became an evidence that supported the christening of her nickname.

There were some who even shared their analysis that she actually liked him and their meeting today had indeed been for work, but someone discreetly snapped their picture and posted them online,. When she saw that the situation was in her favor with many people supporting him to be with her, she secretly took advantage of the situation. Nevertheless, when Cindy posted her statement, Yulia had no choice but to stand up and explain to save her reputation.
