Chapter 369: Setting The Record Straight
A formal announcement of the Investiture of the Marquees of Ashwood was announced from the Oakley Castle in the morning papers and also in the social media. There were many who were overjoyed by that announcement but there were still some who were bitter about it.
However, Talia didn’t understand the worry some had for the Dukedom’s financials to have such an extravagant celebration.
Did they forget the Duke is a multi-billionaire?
A very few even went far and talked about how Arthur has betrayed his ’Boswell’ family and some were laughing that the Brunton family has lost the feud now that a Boswell is the Brunton heir. They even congratulated the Sinclair family for losing a battle by sending out their son, but winning the centuries old war by making the lost son as their enemy’s heir. They said now that the Boswell blood will be the heirs of everything that were once Brinton’s.
Talia ignored these kinds of vile comments. None of them know her family or Arthur’s family. Both families don’t give a rat’s a** about the feud anymore. For these people to hang on to it only makes them pitiful.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but it hit her nerve when some started saying that Arthur shouldn’t have made a big deal about having an extravagant Investiture since it will hurt Talia – the true heir, especially when she was driven out of Esteria for the sake of finding Cyrus’ killer which in turn led to her losing her inheritance. These sorts of comments got a lot of likes in social media and although her PR knowledge told her to ignore it, she couldn’t accept it.
Talia was surprised by the blind support she receives from the public these days unlike in the past. She remembered Rebecca’s words,
’You have "stans" now, Tallie!’
It seems to be true.
Even if they are thinking they are talking for me and supporting me, they are wrong! They are wrong to attack my Fred.
There were many facts wrong in such statements and she knew the tabloids will start publishing those comments as articles. There will be some people who’d believe such articles and they will keep on saying that Arthur ’stole’ something that belonged to her.
