Xavier didn’t allow anyone to stay in the manor, and Mark had no choice but to obey his wishes. He arranged for someone to stand guard outside so that they could go in at once if anything happened. Shannon had no time to look after Xavier because the internal conflict in Titan Corporation had become very intense.
Zayden had joined forces with a few old shareholders and made the decision to call for a shareholders’ meeting. They wanted to depose Xavier from his position as chairman of the board.
Clifford was getting old, and even though he wanted to help, he no longer had enough strength to do so.
Besides, Clifford didn’t want Lane Group to continue being controlled by a blind man. Shannon was facing opposition from all sides.
At 9:00 am the next day, another shocking news article was released. The title read, “Xavier Lane Goes Blind and Rejects Wife’s Request for Divorce.”
The news report went on at length about how Xavier, who had once been one of the top big shots in the business world, was now being treated disdainfully by his wife. It emphasized how pitiful his current situation was.
Someone even uploaded a video titled, “Xavier Is Blind, Not Dumb”-which was what Yvette had said at the court the other day. The comment section below the video was filled with remarks.
“Oh, my. I really do pity Xavier. He was so gifted, but now he’s lost his sight and was called a blind man in front of everyone.”
“Yes, it really isn’t worth it. Who would know about this woman if it hadn’t been for him?”
“By the way, where has Daphne gone? Shouldn’t she come and rescue her Prince Charming? After all, she was his first love and the one that got away.”
“I haven’t seen Daphne in ages. I heard that her company has stopped her activities for now.”
“Are you serious? Would anyone really think that Daphne is worthy of Xavier? Have you forgotten that video of hers?”
There were all sorts of gossip and comments.
After someone uploaded the full video, more comments were added.
“Why do I feel kind of sorry for Yvette? Didn’t you hear what she said? She mentioned divorce before Xavier went blind.”
“That’s right. Their divorce lawsuit was mentioned a few days ago.”
Kiki had seen the comments as well, and she couldn’t resist standing up for Yvette. She wrote a long comment below the video.
“Those of you who are criticizing
Yvette must also be blind! After the Snyders fell from grace, Xavier never once helped Yvette. On top of that, he started fooling around with Daphne while he was still married to Yvette.
“Don’t let your principles be controlled by what you see, alright? It’s a pity for Xavier that he’s gone blind, but have you ever considered the fact that he’s still a billionaire despite all that?
“Does he really need your pity? Is he really the husband who got abandoned during a hard time, like the internet is portraying him to be?
“You’re all surviving on bread, and you’re getting indignant on behalf of a blind billionaire. Are you dumb?”
Kiki had written the comment to vent her anger and stand up for Yvette, but it ended up going viral.
Several people expressed that they had come to their senses and realized that they shouldn’t have blamed Yvette.
The public began attacking Xavier
instead, calling him a leech who had scrounged off the Snyders. Not only that, they called him a scumbag for having an affair with a celebrity while still being married.
They even proclaimed that he deserved to be blind.
Shannon wanted to get the news articles about Xavier taken down, but his opponents paid for them to keep trending. They wanted to make Xavier the top trending topic on purpose.
If Xavier had been healthy, the rumors online wouldn’t have become so wild.
Now he was blind and had lost his memories. He couldn’t even remember the name of the company, let alone anything about the company’s affairs.
In the past, Xavier had been so accomplished and capable that he’d ended up making too many enemies. Now that he was getting attacked, everyone was coming forward to kick him while he was down. Tristan and Quentin wanted to help him, but there was nothing they could do.
Apart from their families and the companies that Lane Group had been working with, all the companies in Tirion had suffered severe oppression in the past because of Xavier.
Tristan wasn’t fully in control of the Shaws yet, or else they might have had a fighting chance. All he could do was vent his anger on Tony, the man who had run Xavier over.
Meanwhile, in Tirion Asylum, Daphne stood in the middle of a crowd of psychiatric patients, dressed in a hospital gown. When she saw the news, she began laughing as if she had truly gone insane.
