Chapter 676
That Sandra and her mother had reached this point, arguing so viciously, was honestly quite surprising.
After all, they had seemed to have a decent relationship before. Now, with things this bad, if Lionel actually paid out a large sum, they would probably end up tearing each other apart over the division of the money.
This was a golden opportunity, a trending topic just waiting to happen. They could publicize the whole affair and utterly humiliate them.
While it was true that any press is good press, if the scandal was bad enough, there would be no coming back from it.
Sandra wouldn’t be able to capitalize on that kind of infamy. As Hannah considered this, a bold idea formed in her mind.
“If Lionel really is going to give them a huge settlement, we should plant some reporters at the hospital. Have them secretly record the family’s arguments and leak everything. It’s too good of a story to pass up. Besides, she wants to be famous, right? Let’s make her famous p>
Hannah spoke thoughtfully to Cherry and Samuel.
She was going to be a good person and pay to get them trending. A top spot on the trending list was expensive, not something you could get just by wishing for it. Sandra was broke, and Lionel was terrified of bad press, which left Hannah as the only one with the money and the nerve.
Hannah thought to herself that she was truly a great philanthropist. People like her were a rare breed these days.
“You’re right, Hannah. The moment Lionel pays up, I’ll send a whole army of reporters and influencers over there. We’ll make her go viral and ruin her reputation for good p>
Cherry had been involved in so many of Hannah’s schemes lately that she was in a constant state of excitement, eager for the next project.
“I have a feeling the compensation negotiations alone will cause a huge stir. The only reason Mr. and Mrs. Woods went to find Sandra wasn’t because they missed her or were worried about her p>
“It was clearly because they were afraid they wouldn’t get a cut of the money if they didn’t show up. They started arguing about the settlement in a crowded hospital right after leaving the police
You can
bet they’ll make a scene when they go after Lionel for the money p>
“I think we should create some buzz beforehand, then hit them again with their internal drama after they get the money. Give them two waves of fame. The only way she can stop this is if she announces that she doesn’t want a single penny p>
Samuel, sitting on the sofa, analyzed the situation, growing more convinced of his reasoning as he spoke.
“True. If Sandra publicly refuses the settlement money and goes against her parents, people might see her as some devoted, tragic lover. They might actually forgive her p>
Sandra chimed in with her analysis.
“But even then, we can spin it. When her parents go demanding money from Lionel and Sandra refuses, we can use that And later, when she nevitably argues with them about it behind closed doors, we can use that too. Whether she takes the money or not, we’re making her a trending topic p>
