Chapter 153: Facing It Together
After hearing Eric’s words, Ella was taken aback for a moment. He was absolutely right.
The people insulting her were probably just hired trolls. Meanwhile, the influential figures were coming forward to support and encourage her.
"Don’t be upset anymore. Eat a bit more, okay?" Eric said with a gentle smile. Ella nodded half-heartedly, sullenly picking at her breakfast.
But it wasn’t long before Chloe called, excitedly telling her that all the hateful messages on Twitter had disappeared, leaving only the supportive comments from celebrities and public figures.
Ella turned to look at Eric, suddenly understanding what he had meant.
"Alright, this time, I’ll forgive you!" Ella said with a smile. After all, it was just one tweet from Eric—not everyone was going to believe it completely.
At most, people might think Eric was just teasing her.
"Good girl! People like Leah and Harper, knowing that we’re together, will be more cautious around you. At least when I’m by your side, I won’t let anyone hurt you," Eric said seriously, looking at her. "But when I’m not around, you need to take good care of yourself. I’m planning to hire a bodyguard for you, but some people are very cunning."
Ella was taken aback but nodded in agreement. The constant power struggles within big families were never-ending, and Eric was worried she might get caught in the crossfire.
After all, since James had seen them together at Sapphire Shores Tavern, he already knew about their relationship.
Grace, that malicious and hypocritical woman, would likely spread the news quietly.
