Chapter 703

Kenneth had sent out a warning. The Gates Family stepped in.
Within half an hour, every piece of news about Charlotte disappeared from the internet, wiped clean as if it had never existed. In its place, headlines everywhere were suddenly obsessed with Charlotte’s beauty. Her photos took over every trending list.
The media had always thought Charlotte was almost unreal with how pretty she was, but because of the “dating multiple guys” gossip, they’d never dared to say anything nice. Now, it was like they couldn’t stop. Her face, her figure, the way she carried herself, even the way a single strand of her hair fell-everything sparked long, gushing posts.
People online were sharing, commenting, and bookmarking at lightning speed. But buried in the flood of compliments, a handful of sarcastic comments still popped up.
Hater1: Heard Kenneth’s sister grew up in the sticks. Besides being smart, she doesn’t really have much going for her.
Hater2: Rumor is Kenneth never defended her because Charlotte’s insecure, feels like she doesn’t belong in the Gates Family. She was scared people would look down on her if her real background came out.
Hater3: At least she knows her place. Kenneth’s a celebrity, Donald and Roger are both super accomplished This so-called little princess is honestly just average.
Hater4: Not sure if I should say this, but Charlotte really isn’t good enough to be Kenneth’s sister.
Five minutes later, Kenneth posted again.
Kenneth: My new album just passed ten million in sales. Huge thanks to Echo for the music. @Charlotte
He attached a video of Charlotte sitting on stage, playing Echo’s famous song-start to finish.
People stared at the tweet, confused. Kenneth’s best-selling albums featured tracks by the legendary composer Echo. So why was he tagging Charlotte?
Before anyone could figure it out, another tweet exploded onto the scene.
Laura: Congrats to @Kenneth on the album, and congrats to my dear teacher for finding her family. @Charlotte
Laura was Echo’s student. She was making things very clear: the world-famous Echo was Charlotte.
But Charlotte was so young. How could she possibly be Laura’s teacher? It sounded unreal If it was true, then Echo’s reputation blew Kenneth’s out of the water. If anyone was not worthy,” it was Kenneth who should feel lucky..net
It didn’t take long for old photos and videos from the world piano competition-footage that had been hidden away- to start popping up all over the internet. Especially a video where Charlotte herself proved her identity. That video went viralin mínutes.
With the video and Laura’s words, Charlotte’s identity was undeniable. Suddenly all the haters who’d said… Charlotte didn’t deserve to be
Kenneth’s sister were nowhere to be found.

Someone even dug up the fact that one of those haters was not just a fan of Kenneth, but also a die-hard Echo fan.
Talk about stepping on a landmine. One comment, and they’d managed to insult both their idols at once. That person was probably hiding in a corner, wishing they could disappear.

In the lounge, Charlotte sat on the sofa, staring at the wall clock with a look of quiet frustration, counting down the seconds.
