Chapter 1768

Push notifications from various websites were streaming into everybody's phones.

Upon opening the notifications, a video was revealed. It was the entrance to the Global Econamic Summit. The moment people saw Damon slowly take the main seat at the conference table and introduce himself, everyone was blown away.

[The founder of Obsidian is... gigo... no, no, no... it's Mr. Harper?!) [OMG, how is this possible? One second he's just a boy toy, and now he’s the founder of Obsidian? Is the world this mystical? How young is he to be the founder of the top international corporation?]b2 [But, what about Presley's previous actions.] [Indeed, he said that without the Harper family, Damon is nothing, claiming Damon's a gold-digger, and just a few days ago they even held a press conference to publicly expel him from the Harper family.] [Presley used to look down on Ms. Summers because of her background, and they preferred Wendy. But now Ms. Summers has transformed into a high-ranking princess in Y Country, while Wendy is just a homewrecker's daughter. Presley thought expelling their grandson from the Harper family would force him to crawl back to them begging, but he's actually the founder of the world’s top corporation, and he doesn’t need the Harper family at all. This old man really is...] [And all the previous public mockery of Ms. Summers and Mr. Harper, acting all high and mighty, is also quite something.] [Now they must be really embarrassed.] The online sentiment had suddenly shifted, the sarcasm was still there, but this time the target had changed.

As the plane was preparing to land, Chloe woke up. Nate came to inform her, "A total of three hundred and sixty-four people have made derogatory comments online about this matter, from various cities in the country.

But over a hundred of them are in P City. Due to the scattered locations, we've only caught a dozen or so, including a few who made the most vicious comments."

Chloe, with a cold face, said, "I want to see them right now."

Nate, who could vaguely guess what Chloe was going to do, hesitated, "Madam, some reporters already know about your sudden return to the country, and the airport is crowded with..."

"Get to it." Damon interrupted Nate's words, and Nate quickly ordered his subordinates to bring the individuals in question.

The plane needed some time to taxi. By the time Chloe and her group disembarked, it was already twenty minutes later. As soon as they reached the exit, they were surrounded. The bodyquards arranged by Nate promptly protected them.

“Mr. Harper, when did you establish Obsidian?"

“What was your initial intention to create it?"

"Obsidian's rapid development, is there some shortcut? Or did you have other assistance?"

“Why did you keep your identity as the founder of Obsidian a secret?"

"Ms. Summers, did you know from the start that Mr. Harper is the founder of Obsidian?"

"Did you get together with Mr. Harper because you knew his real identity"

At this mornent, Chloe suddenly stopped, the crowd also gradually stopped with her, eyes fixed on her.

After a while, Chloe turned her gaze to the reporter who had just asked the last question, “What kind of outcome are you all looking for to be satisfied?"

Her face was gloomy, her aura strong and icy, and her gaze towards the reporter was like a blade of ice.

"Before, it was said that Damon was after my princess status. Now, it's said that I was after his Obsidian founder status? Which answer will you all be more satisfied with? How about we say we both had our own motives? He was after my princess status, and I was after his Obsidian founder status. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

The reporter was left speechless by Chloe's words.

"The intention of the company's establishment, why it developed so quickly, and why we kept it a secret? The company was established as a safety net in case of circumstances like being expelled by Presley. The rapid development is due to the backing of an underground power. With so many secrets, of course, it had to be kept hidden. I'll tell you the answers you all wanted to hear. Are you all satisfied now?"

Chloe answered all the questions about her and Damon in one go, leaving the reporters stunned and speechless.

“And, regarding the public reveal of Obsidian's founder, there's no need for the sarcasm on social media. It's not up to you to judge what kind of person Presley is, whether I'm vicious or a princess, whether Damon's a gold-digger, or the founder of Obsidian. Honestly, even if he was a gold-digger, he wouldn't take a single grain of rice from your tables.

“I'm curious, where does this bitterness come from? The need to mock everyone. It's as if the people you mock have defiled your family graves. Do you even know where your family graves are? If you do, have you thought about behaving in a way that would bring honor to your ancestors?"

The airport exit was packed with people, but at this moment, all one could hear was Chloe's clear voice. Her words left them with no rebuttal.

She had said everything. What else could they say?

The live broadcast was uploaded online; most of those who had been continuously mocking Presley for his foolishness and disrespect fell silent.

Everyone was looking at Chloe in the video. Even if she didn't say anything, they were all quietly waiting. It seemed this woman really had a kind of magic about her, always making people unconsciously focus their attention on her.

The silence had stretched on for a while before Chloe, who had been mute till now, suddenly shifted her gaze toward the airport exit. As she spotted Nate approaching with a small group of people, her eyes narrowed, and she took a few steps forward.

Nate came to a stop in front of her, "Ma‘am, these are the people from the internet."

Chloe looked at the group of young men and women in front of her, among which there were even several physically disabled individuals, totaling up to four or five people.

She turned her head towards the able-bodied ones standing by her side, scoffed, “Look at who is standing here ‘sharing your ideals’? They're physically disabled, so what about you quys, mentally disabled?"

The surrounding reporters swarmed up, taking photos of her like mad.

Those who Chloe had sarcastically targeted looked both scared and angry, “Mind your language. What gives you the right to call us mentally disabled?"

One of the disabled individuals spoke up, “What's the meaning of your words just now? Are you discriminating against us because we're disabled?"

Chloe only scoffed, her gaze fixated on the able-bodied individuals, “Can't handle being called mentally disabled? At least I have the guts to face it, unlike you guys who hide behind screens,

using keyboards as your weapon. If you can't handle it, feel free to confront me. I'm right here. Come at me if you dare."

As her voice died down, a few bodyguards immediately surrounded her, their sharp and icy gaze directed towards the individuals on the other side. Those individuals clearly didn’t dare to step forward.

“Of course, you guys don't have the guts. You live in the light, unwilling to offend anyone, hence acting like snakes hiding in the dark."

Her gaze slowly swept over the disabled individuals, finally resting on a woman seated in a wheelchair.

“You got it wrong, I do not discriminate against the disabled."

The group was intimidated by the inexplicably cold aura around her, watching her warily. The next second, the

woman in the wheelchair was suddenly yanked up by Chloe. After a few crisp slaps, the woman was tossed onto the ground by her.

Her legs were completely atrophied below the knees, making it impossible for her to stand.

Everyone was shocked still by Chloe's actions, stepping back a few steps.

Chloe looked coldly at the woman on the ground, her expression icy, her voice bone-chillingly cold. “As human beings, I obviously treat everyone equally. So don’t use the excuse that I'm bullying you because you're disabled. No one can say I discriminate against the disabled. I hit normal people, and I hit disabled people too."

As her words fell, the able-bodied individuals around her, who were stunned, suddenly received a slap on their faces.

Everyone stared at Chloe in disbelief, feeling that this woman had truly gone mad today. She had just disembarked from the plane and immediately had a go at the reporters. Now, she was openly slapping a few individuals right in the middle of a crowded place.

What was more, she even hit a disabled person. Such behavior would easily invite criticism.

What the public opinion would turn into was unimaginable. After all, she was a businesswoman who had just made it to the Global Economic Summit. Even if she had the backing of Damon, the founder of the Obsidian Group, she couldn't act so recklessly.

The societal impact was huge. Without a doubt, she would have to pay a price for her actions today.

But her words just now seemed to make some sense...

The disabled individual who had just been hit and fallen to the ground wanted to reproach Chloe, but was scared silent by Chloe's following words and actions.

Of course, Chloe didn't discriminate against the disabled. Chloe hit normal people, and treated her, a disabled person, the same.

However, in the eyes of society, they were a group of people who received special care, and her actions today were unjustifiable.

After being scared for a long time, she finally stuttered, covering her face, “You dare to hit a disabled person, you will pay for what you did today.”

“Now you're emphasizing that you're disabled again? What, disabled people aren't normal human beings?"

Chloe slowly approached her, scaring her into retreating a bit, staring at Chloe with a face full of fear and defense. “What... what are you trying to do?”

Chloe's face was indescribably cold, her icy and domineering aura skyrocketing.

"Do I know you? Or does Damon know you? Did we cause your disability, or did we conspire to kill your entire family, to the point where you hate us so much? You won't even spare the people who speak up for us?”

She slowly bent down, forcefully gripping her chin, her powerful and icy aura instantly striking her face.

"How much do you despise society, thinking that disparaging others to nothingness is what gives your life value?

“Others are gigolos and prostitutes, so do you feel that you are superior to them? You trample on others every day to elevate your own value, thinking that if you ruin others, you'll be the best, is that it?”

Chloe scoffed, gripping her chin even harder, causing the woman to wince in pain.

“The special treatment society gives you is not to nurture a group of psychologically deranged murderers. We don't expect you to contribute much to society, just don't stir up trouble for society or the country. You've driven an innocent person to attempt suicide. Do you know how much turmoil you've caused society? Of course, I hit you. If that child hadn't been saved, I would have made you pay with your life.”

By the end of her speech, Chloe's voice had suddenly intensified, her cold and stern voice like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's heart.

Seeing the woman's pale face and trembling lips, Chloe violently pushed her aside and slowly stood up.

Her gaze swept over the able-bodied individuals and the disabled ones, “You're all the same. If someone had died, you would all have to pay with your lives. Since internet laws are so flawed, I'll force them to perfect it. If that child dares to bet her life, I dare to risk everything to deal with you. Don't believe me? Just wait and see"

Everyone was stunned by Chloe’s words, not knowing what to say. No one doubted the sincerity of her words.

As long as she dared to say it, she would definitely do it.

Moreover, the aura emanating from her body made it impossible for anyone to question her. And from what she said, it seemed like something had really happened to the person online who had claimed to commit suicide.

They now knew the reason behind Chloe's anger.

Combining that with her other words just now, indeed, these people, the instigators of cyberbullying, were truly unforgivable.

Considering this incident, these disabled individuals were even more terrifying than regular people. These individuals, ever pampered by society's special privileges, were so cynical that they sheltered behind their screens, hurling all sorts of unbecoming words and insults at others. It was truly despicable.

The preferential treatment they received from society was not a reason for them to throw their weight around.

Far from being grateful, they even retaliated against society, a classic case of biting the hand that feeds.

The entire episode was broadcast live on the web, with everyone's initial shock at her actions turning into criticisms and accusations.

In reality, not many people criticized her solely because she had hit someone; instead, her actions resonated with many.
