She asked, “What kind of evidence does this blogger have against you? Do you even know it?”
Penelope was nearly in tears. “How would I know?”
The blogger claimed her personal life was a hot mess, and she had numerous boyfriends throughout middle school and high school. If any solid proof was found, she wouldn’t be able to face the Lindberg family.
Many of her old acquaintances knew about her past. If the truth ever came out, she would be in deep trouble.
Charlie said, “If you want to reverse the negative feedback, you have to listen to me. Got it?”
After all, they were in the same boat. If Penelope capsized, she wouldn’t fare well either. Charlie immediately contacted a professional PR team.
Penelope, nodding her head, said, “Speak.” She could do anything to turn the tide at this point.
Charlie said, “I’ve drafted an apology message for you. Post it immediately and apologize to Allison.”
“What?” Penelope’s voice shot up an octave.
“No way!!” she yelled into her phone. “I’m not apologizing to that lowly maid Allison! It’s out of the question!!”
On the other end of the line, Charlie nearly threw her phone in frustration. She was infuriated by Penelope but had to bear with it because of her connection to the Lindberg Corporation. She explained patiently, “You have to apologize to Allison. If you don’t, this issue won’t be properly handled. No one
online is speaking up for you. Even if Allison was once your maid, she’s worked hard to get where she is. Doesn’t this sound like job discrimination to you? Once that label sticks, it’s hard to shake off.
“Nobody online empathizes with a rich heiress like you. The reason why public opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of Allison is because she’s the underdog, working hard to better herself. Who would sympathize with a rich girl like you who swipes her card for an outfit that costs tens of thousands? You started the feud with the online troll and insulted Allison. If you want a better future, Penelope, you have to learn how to apologize.”
“Let them rant online! I can apologize to anyone but that bitch Allison! I was too nice to her. That bitch seduced my fiancé, and tried to damage my parents’ relationship. I’ve always hated her.”
“Do you have proof that she seduced Mr. Lindberg?” If there was a solid evidence, they could use it to deal a fatal blow to Allison online, removing Patty’s trump card.
Penelope had none.
Charlie said, “Since you have no proof, I can’t help you. Ms. Flanagan, you should seek help elsewhere.”
Charlie withheld one piece of information. The reason why the internet was siding with Allison, aside from Penelope’s haughty tone and the inability of the public to relate to a rich heiress, was that…
Penelope and Allison did look similar, but Allison looked like a fairy who had just descended to earth. Penelope, on the other hand, had gained weight after falling ill. She piled on makeup, used filters to contour her face, and exuded cheap vibe of a common internet celebrity.
With Allison’s natural beauty, it was as if she was irresistible to both men and women.
Beautiful, hardworking Allison was like a princess. In contrast, Penelope seemed like the wicked witch of the fairy tales.
