I Married the President
Chapter 221: The First Bad Thing in Life
Under the trending topic, Lily Yariel’s fans were furious—
"Lily posted a clarification! She was framed! Master Night didn’t plagiarize!"
"Our Lily didn’t plagiarize!"
"Lily’s Lights, unite! Defend Master Night! All you clout-chasers can just drop dead!"
"Heh, who the hell does Mrs. Quincy think she is? She’s just trying to leech off our Lily’s fame. Disgusting! Shameless!"
...
’What’s the deal with this horde of apologists?’
Curious, Claire Sinclair looked up Lily Yariel’s social media page and saw that she only had 270,000 followers. She had also posted an angry message half an hour ago—
"You really can’t get too famous. The moment you do, every nobody tries to latch onto you. And now they’re saying I plagiarized? When did I ever copy her? The character Forrest Roland is based on my maternal grandfather, and the story is real. As for that ’Mrs. Whatever’... there’s a big difference between fantasy writing and a true story. Don’t think you’re so great just because you wrote some little essay on environmentalism."
After reading it, Claire Sinclair laughed.
’So, according to her, my article was pure fantasy, while the side couple she wrote was adapted from a true story.’
Hahahaha...
’When it comes to being shameless, if this Lily Yariel claimed second place, no one would dare claim first.’
’If I don’t do something about this, it would be a real disservice to all the material Teacher Hartwell worked so hard to bring back.’
’Times like these were what hacking skills were for...’
Claire Sinclair logged onto the CloudScript Books website and easily hacked into Lily Yariel’s author dashboard, immediately obtaining her real identity information.
A few minutes later, following the digital trail, Claire Sinclair finally found Lily Yariel’s IP address.
It’s actually quite easy for a hacker to remotely attack a computer. And so, Claire Sinclair committed her first real misdeed...
「The next day.」
Crystal Rowan, the Editor-in-Chief for women’s fiction at CloudScript Company, posted several screenshots of a conversation on her social media.
The first screenshot was from a QQ chat, and the content was as follows:
CloudScript Editor-in-Chief, Crystal Rowan: What is wrong with you? Didn’t I tell you to back off and stop plagiarizing?!
Lily Yariel is a Little Fairy: She stole a multi-million dollar copyright deal from me. Plagiarizing her work is letting her off easy.
CloudScript Editor-in-Chief, Crystal Rowan: You idiot! The company spent so many resources to clean up your image, and now the entire internet is digging up your dirty laundry! Did you really think that just by taking down your old plagiarized books, people wouldn’t find out about your past?!
Lily Yariel is a Little Fairy: I’m just too pissed off. Besides, her thing was only five thousand words long. I added so much more to it, my fans won’t be able to tell the difference. And as long as I deny it to the death, what can that bitch do to me?
CloudScript Editor-in-Chief, Crystal Rowan: Fine, I’m done with you. This Mrs. Quincy isn’t some web novelist. She’s backed by the Astoria Daily. If they decide to run a story on you, let’s see how you’ll handle that!
Lily Yariel is a Little Fairy: As if I’m afraid of her!
...
The second screenshot was from a WeChat conversation.
Lily Yariel is a Little Fairy: Ming, I don’t care! I want you to blacklist that bitch, Mrs. Quincy!
Lily Yariel is a Little Fairy: If you don’t blacklist her, I’ll stop writing. I’ll quit for good!
CloudScript CEO, Marcus Miles: Baby, it’s not that easy to blacklist her. Don’t say you’re going to quit.
Lily Yariel is a Little Fairy: No! I’m quitting! I’m not writing anymore!
CloudScript CEO, Marcus Miles: Baby, come to my room tonight. We can talk about it in bed.
Lily Yariel is a Little Fairy: I’m not going. Your wife is always so mean to me. I’ve been sick of her for a long time now. When are you going to divorce her? 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
CloudScript CEO, Marcus Miles: She won’t agree to a divorce, so my hands are tied. Baby, I’ve been missing your **... Come over at eight tonight.
Lily Yariel is a Little Fairy: You’re awful, saying things like that...
CloudScript CEO, Marcus Miles: Well, who’s to blame when my little fairy is so irresistible in bed? Come on, now!
