Early in the morning, Cody was awakened by an urgent call from the PR department. When he saw that hispany had shot up to the second spot on the trending list, with a flood of mocking below, he was quite exploded. "A bunch of ungrateful people!" Cody grumbled.
He added. "Thepany had a tough year, so the annual party budget was put into their year-end bonuses. They caused a fuss, rallying troublemakingizens to mock. I spent a lot on them, but they''re nothing but ingrates." Cody''s outburst woke everyone in the mansion. Still wearing pajamas, they gathered in the living room, their sleepiness overshadowed by worry.
Finn looked particrly upset, continuously calling friends who work in the media, hoping they could get the discussion colder.
Yvette stared intently at her phone, watching the relentless criticismbeling her as a fake daughter and some mockery. With her head lowered, no one could see the cold hatred burning in her eyes.
Selena didn''t understand the online, but she had already received calls from her friends early that morning. They were concerned about the Nelson family''s situation and even asked if they were on the verge of copse. Selena nearly shouted in anger.
Tapping her cane, Selena dered furiously, "We''re not done. Find those employees causing trouble online and punish them severely."
Selena thought, ''With Christmas Day approaching, they brought such disgrace to Nelson Group. It''s best to fire them.
"We can''t do anything aboutizens''ments," Finn said after hanging up the call. "It''s not someone who is purposely stirring things up. They discuss it spontaneously.
"There are so many topics about us, and the poprity has already declined sincest night. My friend suggests not to pay attention to it. After a couple of days, new hot topics wille up, and this will be forgotten.
"As for those employees postingments-" Finn said seriously, "They have freedom of speech, and everyment is anonymous. If we find them, it could be more harmful to us."
Selena was upset. "Are we just going to ignore this?" Cody looked over, not saying a word, but his expression clearly showed he was not pleased.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
At this point, Yvette suddenly spoke up, "If we punish the employees for this, they might be unhappy and spread more rumors to damage thepany''s reputation."
Her voice was soft and cool, capturing everyone''s attention. "Dad, Finn has always been generous with thepany staff, especially those long-term, loyal employees.
"Our benefits and sries are among the best in Crescentville. I think that being grateful is a basic virtue everyone should have. Since they''ve received so much from thepany, how could they harm its reputation?
"I think we need to pay attention to employees whock integrity. If someone''s character is questionable, it might show in their work.
"We give them great benefits, but they can''t work with full dedication. Shouldn''t we consider firing such unsuitable employees?"
Cody''s eyes sparkled with appreciation as he looked at Yvette. He spoke softly, "Yvette''s right. We treat them well, yet they don''t give back and even embarrass thepany.

"Finn, maybe we should have someone keep an eye on them, and if they can''t meet their targets, we should let them go That way, we''re not being unfair to them"
Finn slightly frowned, clearly not fully agreeing with Cody''s opinion However, seeing his father was determined, he could only follow. "Alright, I''ll have HR deal with them." "That''s right, we can''t handle those online critics, but we can fire our employees." Selena finally breathed a sigh of rehef her eyes filled with satisfaction as she looked at Yvette.
Selena added, "Yvette, you''re smart. You know how to help take care of thepany''s issues with your dad and your brother."
Yvette blinked her red eyes. "I just can''t bear thepany being treated like a joke." She lowered her head quietly, her voice filled with disappointment.
"Andizens always said I''m nothingpared to Shakira. I can''t do anything well and even get the Nelson family into trouble," said Yvette.
Reba couldn''t bear to see her cherished daughter like this and quicklyforted her. "This isn''t your fault. It''sizens who are meddling. Which one of our daughters we favor is our family business, not theirs." Yvette''s eyes grew redder, touched by Reba''s support but also feeling guilty, she spoke softly, "Everyone thinks that Mom and Dad should favor Shakira more. After all, I''m the outsider."
Selena got really upset hearing this. "They know nothing. To us, you''re our precious girl. As for ungrateful Shakira, she''s nothing."
Reba''s eyes were filled with anger. "Hasn''t she done enough damage already? She got Jayden''s teammate fired, made the Nelson family a joke online, and Mitchell-" At this point, her voice choked, unable to continue. Yvette was distressed greatly and hugged Reba. "Mom, Mitchell will definitelye back. We''ll surely wait for him to return safely." Listening to Yvette''s powerfulfort, Reba began to sob softly.
As Finn''s friend mentioned, by noon, some celebrities were making headlines, pushing Nelson Group out of the spotlight, and people online quickly stopped talking about them.
But before they could celebrate, Mending Hearts, the national first major co-produced medical documentary show, aired suddenly, which sparked widespread discussion online.
[Isn''t this the show where someone falsely used the doctor, the one that hit the headlines? I can''t believe it wasn''t canceled.]
[It''s exactly because of that mess that it should be aired so everyone can really see how tense healthcare rtionships are right now.]
[I''ve finally been waiting for this. As a medical student, I have a show to binge-watch.]
[Wait, this show''s cast... Nelson? Could it be..."
[Yes, that''s right. Yvette Nelson, the fake daughter of the Nelson family who couldn''t host an annual party, whose trending was on the trending list this morning.] Come on, they can''t host a party but have money to get on a show. The Nelson family really spoils this fake daughter.]
