Broken Memories, Intertwined Hearts novel Chapter 271

Ethan's intervention may have been just in the nick of time, but the power of internet buzz was immense. The first netizens to catch wind of the story quickly posted it online. Ines, being both the chairman of the Galeana Group and Ethan's wife, immediately drew attention. Within half an hour, the story had spread far and wide on the internet, getting reshaped and repackaged with a variety of clickbait titles.

Phoebe was the first to see the news and she quickly rang up Ines.

Ines checked the articles on her phone and got a headache just looking at the messy headlines.

"Ms. Galeana's Path of Revenge"

"How One Woman Controls Two Empires"

"Heiress Turns into Year's Most Cunning Woman"

The headlines were all over the place. Ines picked a random article to read. It claimed that the current chairman of the Galeana Group was a ruthless individual who had intentionally run over her half-sister five years ago, leaving her disabled and leading to her banishment from the family. Years later, she returned and took control of the Galeana Group. The previous chairman's sudden fall down the stairs was also her doing. Upon taking over, she quickly ousted her stepmother and took firm control of the Galeana Group.

The article even included a picture of Emma visiting the hospital the day before, implying that this was also Ines's doing.

Comment sections were filled with insults, with some even warning the CEO of the Meyer Group to see her true colors soon or his company would also fall into her hands.

Ines found the article laughable. Shirley had somehow managed to pin her own deeds on her, completely omitting her own infidelity. She couldn't believe Shirley had the audacity to do such a thing.

Ines wasn't upset, but rather calm, "Ethan, do we need to hold a press conference immediately?"

Ethan nodded, "We do, but it might be more effective if Emma explains. Our explanation might not be compelling enough. Also, the accident from years ago has records in various departments. The apparent facts are not in your favor and may even put you in the hot seat. The most important thing now is to get Emma to tell the truth about the accident." Ines immediately prepared to call Emma, but before she could dial, Emma called in. She said, "I saw the stuff online. I'm at home waiting for you guys, come over now. I'll tell you everything I know."

Upon hearing this, Ines's eyes lit up, hope burning in her heart. She felt that the problem that had been troubling her for years was finally about to be cleared up. Ines felt extremely excited, completely unaffected by the rumors.

Ethan, seeing her like this, felt slightly relieved.

When they arrived at the Galeana family home, Emma was sitting on the living room sofa, deep in thought. Aiden was sitting across from her, with Eda also standing nearby. Everyone's faces were somber, and the atmosphere was chilly.
