From Nun to Real Heiress: Expert at Turning the Tables

Chapter 806: 402 Public Opinion (Second Update)_2

The weather in Pethkids was about to change, much like a child’s face.

Madon Linggo sniffed the smoke, stared out of the window, watching as the bright sunshine was covered by dark clouds, the sunlight escorting over the Earthly World slowly dimming.

The sun covered by dark clouds made the atmosphere oppressive, making it hard for people to breathe.

“Captain Ling, we’ve placed the people. Should the coroner go to the hospital to examine Ms. Rinto’s body?” Connie asked.

Madon Linggo curled his lips: “There is no criminal case if the victim’s family does not initiate a legal appeal. It has nothing to do with us.”

Although the victim was the same person, it belonged to two different cases.

An attempted murder and a medical dispute.

The reasons were different, thus the outcomes varied.

Connie immediately added: “The online public opinion is very severe, which is extremely unfavorable for the Rintos and Agave Rinto. There are obvious internet trolls fueling it; Agave Rinto wouldn’t dare dig his own grave like this. Colleagues from the tech department help checked it, they have a strong anti-detection alert, were able to recruit top hackers, it couldn’t have been an ordinary person.”

Having the trolls create a public opinion, focusing fully on Agave Rinto and the Rintos, taking advantage of Aubree Groove’s death, even though Aubree Groove wasn’t directly killed by Agave Rinto, the public’s rage still blamed everything on Agave Rinto.

In this information era, public opinion can kill a person. Agave Rinto, no matter how strong he was, couldn’t fight against the popular public opinion.

Every single person in the country could spit once and he would drown in their spit.

“The battle of public opinion, well, we could also add some firewood to it.”

——

Meanwhile, the Rintos were already in complete chaos.

“I think this Aubree Groove is a jinx, she just came back to the Rintos and trouble happened, now even Master McKay is locked up. I think we should just split as soon as possible, return to our old home in the north, save us from suffering here.”

“Pandawa Rinto, shut up, Master McKay was good to us usually. How can you leave at this time, don’t you have a conscience?”

“Desta Rinto, if you want to stay and be the cannon fodder you do it yourself, don’t drag me down as your scapegoat, the tree falls, the monkeys scatter, let’s all go back to where we belong.”

“All of you shut up.” Gonzales Rinto shouted angrily.

“Look at you. You’re disgracing the Rintos.”

Pandawa Rinto sneered: “Then you tell us, what can we do now? Break into the jail? This isn’t ancient times, we aren’t heroes, let’s just admit our defeat. We can still run now, any later, we might not be able to.”

“Enough.” A sudden deep voice resonated, scaring the three. Almost forgot that Ricky Wood, who hadn’t spoke all this time, was present.

He was Master McKay’s confidant, and all three of them were cautious of him.

Gonzales Rinto turned his eyes: “Brother Peak, what should we do now?”

“Finish what’s in your hands, keep the place steady, the rest, you shouldn’t worry.”

“Brother Peak, Master McKay, is he really okay?”

Ricky Wood glanced at him: “What? You really wish something happens to Master McKay?”

Gonzales Rinto felt a sudden tightness in his heart, and hurriedly smirked: “Brother Peak, what are you talking about, Master McKay is our steadying force in the Rintos, of course, I hope he is okay.”

“Good that you know, now go back to work.”

Right then, the sound of a car could be heard from outside. Pandawa Rinto ran out to have a look, heard his flattering voice being echoed at the entrance: “Auntie Guele, what brought you here?”

Guele Rinto? Ricky Wood narrowed his eyes, what was this person doing here.

Then he saw Silvia Hayes supporting Guele Rinto walking in, with Pandawa Rinto following behind her like a significant eunuch.

Desta Rinto and Gonzales Rinto greeted her.

Ever since the last news conference, no one had seen Guele Rinto again. A month had passed, and she seemed to have aged more than a decade, with wrinkles stacking up at the corners of her eyes and a pale and haggard face.

“Everyone’s here, good. It saves me from calling each one of you individually.”

Birch Cliff followed Guele Rinto in silence.

“Ms. Rinto.” Ricky Wood, who sat without moving, nodded lightly.

From a position standpoint, the two are both heads of the household, equals.

Yet in terms of identity, Guele Rinto was Ms. Rinto of The Rintos house, while Ricky Wood was a subordinate of Agave Rinto.

Now that they were at The Rintos house, Ricky frustratingly asserted his authority in front of her, Guele’s face turned grave.

“Ricky, what exactly happened to Agave? Are the rumors in the outside world true? Did he order the Scorpion to kill Aubree Groove? He’s out of his mind. We live in a society under the rule of law, how dare he kill! Not to mention, it was her aunt’s daughter, clearly against the normal course of nature, utterly immoral.”

Guele Rinto pointed accusingly, anger written all over her face.

And thus sentenced Agave Rinto on the spot.

Ricky Wood frowned and said seriously, “Ms. Rinto, please do not speculate wildly.”@@novelbin@@

“Wild speculation? Bartlett Parker himself came to arrest him, and you are still defending him. I always thought he was an emotionally intelligent man, but now… Poor auntie’s daughter, she was so young…” Guele Rinto wiped her non-existent tears, a face full of regret.

Ricky let out a cold laugh, “Ms. Rinto, it appears you have forgotten Master Mckay’s warning. It’s not your place to interfere in his business.”

“You…!” Guele Rinto was flushed with shame and anger.

“Agave has always been a loyal and righteous kid, he cherished Auntie’s daughter dearly, how could he possibly harm her? I’m sure you…”

Guele Rinto suddenly pointed at Ricky, “You instigated Agave into doing this! Now that Agave is in trouble, you are playing big shot in The Rintos. It seems you planned to kill two birds with one stone, eliminate auntie’s daughter and Agave, so that The Rintos would fall into your hands. This is a well-calculated move. Unfortunately, I won’t let your conspiracy succeed. Guards, arrest Ricky Wood for me.”

Birch Cliff waved his hand and immediately two black-clothed men rushed in and walked towards Ricky Wood.

Desta Rinto, Gonzales Rinto and Pandawa Rinto were all shocked and stunned. Desta wanted to say something, but Gonzales was quick to pull him back and shake his head at him.

One should avoid getting involved in the conflict between these two parties. Staying out of trouble was the wise move.

Ricky Wood sneered, “Those who wish to do ill, can always find an excuse.”

Before the men in black could even get close to Ricky, they were kicked away by a sudden dark figure, “What the hell do you think you are? Daring to lay a finger on Master McKay’s people.”

It was a youthful boy with a babyface, crossing his arms over his chest and an audacious flare in his eyes.

Guele Rinto was seething, “This is utter madness, absolute rebellion.”

“Hey, old lady,” Jayden Moore dug at his ear, full of disdain, “There’s no lion on the mountain, the monkey’s king. You little underlings want to cause trouble when Master McKay’s not around? Let me tell you, your plan won’t work. As long as I’m here today, no one can touch a finger on Ricky.”

The young man’s eyes relayed a certain wildness, quite intimidating.

Birch Cliff frowned, took a step forward, and whispered in Guele Rinto’s ear, “Ms. Rinto, there are many experts around Master McKay. Besides this kid, there’s the mysterious Wind, Rain, Thunder, and Lightning. Unless we deal with them, it would be hard to touch Ricky.”

Guele Rinto was extremely frustrated internally, but she also knew Birch was right, “So, what should I do? Can they be used by me?”

Birch Cliff stepped forward and addressed Jayden, “Jayden Moore, the wise man submits to circumstances. Master McKay is finished. If you’re smart, pledge loyalty to Ms. Rinto. Ms. Rinto won’t treat you poorly.”

The greatest reliance of Agave Rinto was these experts. Once these wings are clipped, even if he comes back in the future, he won’t be able to create any waves.

Jayden Moore arched an eyebrow, “A monthly salary of a hundred thousand? Accommodation and meals included? Insurance and pension? Travel bonus at the end of the year? These are the bare minimum. If you can’t even provide this, no need to talk.”
