Chapter 498 - Merciless
Spiteful people like Rose Young, the young female members of high society, and all those who felt envious and threatened of Iris Long went on an online defamation mission against her. They were united in belittling her achievements and painting her as nothing more than a pretty face with a nice body. They declared that she was an unsuitable partner for Jin Liwei, the most powerful man of the country’s business world of his generation.
"There are so many women in the world who are much more worthy than Iris Long! Why her?" they cried to Jin Liwei (as if he cared about what they thought).
It was a sleepless night for these people. They wrote bad things about Iris Long on the internet. Some of them even openly called her a slut, a whore, and other insults degrading to their fellow woman.
However, no matter how much they posted, their hate comments would disappear within minutes. When these happened a few times, many of them gave up, including Rose Young. Seeing that the posts were being deleted quickly, she thought that it was Jin Liwei’s work.
"Big Brother Liwei is really protecting that slut," she muttered in resentment.
With this thought, Rose Young realized that it was only a waste of time posting these little comments online. Jin Liwei wielded considerable power and influence as the President-CEO of Jin Corporation. If he really wanted to protect his fiancée’s reputation online, no hate comments would escape from him. Besides, these little hate comments wouldn’t hurt Iris Long much, anyway.
Rose Young thought that it would be better to spend her time doing something more productive and destructive against the slut. So she decided to phone her father, Romeo Young, from Singapore instead. She informed him about the situation and asked for his advice on how to proceed.
Now that they knew the identity of Jin Liwei’s fiancée, they had a clear target. Her father knew some good hackers. They would be much more effective in destroying Iris Long compared to Rose Young’s attempts of defaming the woman online.
Rose Young may have given up for now, but her little actions online didn’t escape the glowing green eyes of a certain white cat.
Since Rose Young’s name was recorded in the black notebook, Ketchup monitored her 24/7. The virtual white cat wanted to destroy the evil woman immediately, but Mommy and Daddy said that it wasn’t the right time yet. So Ketchup could only continue to gather incriminating evidence against Rose Young and her equally evil family in Singapore.
The white cat didn’t want to disobey her parents, especially about matters regarding the black notebook and the names recorded in it. Mommy and Daddy warned her that they would ground her if she acted like a bad kitty. So scary! Ketchup promised her parents that she would be a good kitty.
While Ketchup continued to prioritize monitoring Rose Young, the white cat didn’t let the others escape either. She planted destructive viruses that destroyed all data on the computer and mobile devices of everyone who posted things about her mommy online.
And for the ones who refused to give up despite having their comments automatically deleted and continued defaming Mommy, Ketchup dug out scandalous information about them and revealed them all over the internet. She also made sure that the first people to see the scandalous information were their bosses, family and friends.
Ketchup was merciless.
She didn’t let anyone escape from her instant revenge. How dare these jackasses say such bad things about her mommy?! Unforgivable!
If it were up to Ketchup, she would’ve already made sure to destroy them beyond recovery. However, her mommy put some limits on the things she was allowed to do on her own. If she wanted to do things beyond the restrictions placed on her, she must ask Mommy for permission first. She was a good kitty, so she wouldn’t disobey Mommy or Daddy!
For now, at least she was allowed to mete out instant punishments to those who deserved it. No mercy!

In the next few days, Iris and everyone involved in the film "Strong Yet Broken" were busy attending events during the Sommet International Film Festival. There were official interviews, press conferences, forums, and dinners.
Of course, Jin Liwei was Iris’ escort to all of these events. Never once did he let Iris attend by herself. This showed everyone that he was really committed to their relationship.
The cast and crew of "Strong Yet Broken" were also finally informed that Jin Liwei was the true boss and owner of LX Productions. In short, he was everyone’s big boss. The organizers of the film festival were also secretly informed about it. As a result, Jin Liwei was given an automatic pass to join the cast and crew to the events.
The public, however, remained clueless about his connection to LX Productions. At this point, Iris didn’t care much if the public knew that he was the true owner of the production company. Once she made up her mind to announce their relationship to the world during the Sommet International Film Festival, she had already prepared herself to face everything—from congratulations to criticisms—all the way.
However, Jin Liwei decided to keep the truth about his ownership of LX Productions a secret for now. He didn’t want his ownership to overshadow the contributions of his baby girl to the film. He also didn’t want others twisting the facts and claiming that she used him for her own gain.
So he threatened—COUGH COUGH—"requested" the cast and crew of "Strong Yet Broken", including Guan Jintao and his wife, to not tell anyone about it. Of course, everyone promised to keep their mouths zipped. They were extremely thankful for his company’s financial and professional assistance to the film. It wouldn’t reach the quality that it had now without LX Productions’ help.
Besides their gratefulness, they agreed to keep the truth a secret because they were afraid of Jin Liwei’s wrath. Who would be stupid enough to offend the President-CEO of Jin Corporation? Not them!
All of their careers were flying off at the moment thanks to "Strong Yet Broken". They didn’t want to cut their current success because they angered a powerful man like Jin Liwei.
Thus, they all treated Iris Long extremely well. If they treated the wife well, of course the husband would look at them kindly. That was common sense.
