A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 469

Her words, simple and unembellished, seemed to cut through everything, sparking a fresh wave of gossip.

"Have you heard? Matilda's name has finally been cleared!"

"It's so tough for a woman to get through all this!"

"And that's not even the half of it! The scumbag and his mistress still haven't gotten what they deserve! Isn't Yvan still planning to marry Rachel?"

"Watch your mouth! Talking about Rachel is one thing, but with the Archer family's fall from grace, badmouthing Yvan could get you into serious trouble with Mr. Boyd's connections!"

Suddenly, everyone was speculating about why Yvan would want to marry Rachel. To the public eye, they might actually be in love—after all, one's a jerk, the other's a cheat. But no one considered... the news about Matilda came out of nowhere. Who could be behind her vindication?

...

In the office, the setting sun cast a melancholic beauty through the large windows behind Yvan, marking what felt like the end of a story finally... coming to a close.

Carl was checking some website traffic data and turned to Yvan, "Mr. Boyd... the views have... hit a hundred million..."

A hundred million views. That's the number of people who read the post clearing Matilda's name. A hundred million people were forced to face the truth about what happened back then!

Now, the internet was ablaze with criticism, both towards Yvan and Rachel.

"I think Rachel planned this all along, making Yvan believe Matilda was guilty, getting rid of her so she could take her place in the Boyd family."

"Yvan's a victim too, fooled by a manipulative woman, ruining the life of someone who truly loved him. But he deserves it."

"I smell conspiracy theories..."

Rachel's attempt to sway public opinion only turned more people against her. Every day, she received messages calling her a hypocrite, shameless, and even accusing her of being too vile to be considered human. The same insults that were hurled at Matilda were now being directed at Rachel.

People felt vindicated. It seemed there was still justice in the world, and when someone like her was exposed, everyone was quick to point fingers. This is a reflection of the mob mentality online, quick to turn with the tide.
