Chapter 260
Early in the morning, Cody was awakened by an urgent call from the PR department. When he saw that his
company 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. "The company had a tough year, so the annual party budget was put into their year-end bonuses.
They caused a fuss, rallying troublemaking netizens to mock. | 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 particularly 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 criticism labeling 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 collapse. Selena
nearly shouted in anger.
Tapping her cane, Selena declared 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 about netizens' comments," Finn said after hanging up the call. "It's not someone who is

"There are so many topics about us, and the popularity has already declined since last night. My friend suggests
not to pay attention to it. After a couple of days, new hot topics will cup, and this will be forgotten.
"As for those employees posting comments-" Finn said seriously, "They have freedom of speech, and every
comment 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.
At this point, Yvette suddenly spoke up, "If we punish the employees for this, they might becunhappy and
spread more rumors to damage the company's reputation.”
Her voice was soft and cool, capturing everyone's attention. "Dad, Finn has always been generous with the
company staff, especially those long-term, loyal employees.
"Our benefits and salaries are among the best in Crescentville. | think that being grateful is a basic virtue
everyone should have. Since they've received so much from the company, how could they harm its reputation?
"I think we need to pay attention to employees who lack 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 the company.

"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 the company's issues with your dad and
your brother."
Yvette blinked her red eyes. "I just can't bear the company being treated like a joke." She lowered her head
quietly, her voice filled with disappointment.
"And netizens always said I'm nothing compared to Shakira. | can't do anything well and even get the Nelson
family into trouble," said Yvette.
Rebecca couldn't bear to see her cherished daughter like this and quickly comforted her. "This isn't your fault.
It's netizens who are meddling. Which one of our daughters we favor is our family business, not theirs." Yvette's
eyes grew redder, touched by Rebecca'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."
Rebecca'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 Rebecca. "Mom, Mitchell will definitely cback. We'll surely wait for
him to return safely." Listening to Yvette's powerful comfort, Rebecca began to sob softly.
As Finn's friend mentioned, by noon, scelebrities 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 accused the doctor, the one that hit the headlines? | 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
relationships are right now.]
[I've finally been waiting for this. As a medical student, | 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.] Con, they can't host a party but have money to get on a
show. The Nelson family really spoils this fake daughter.]
