Chapter 510: 0510 How did you know again?_1

She hadn’t expected this exposé to really cause such a huge uproar.

Mainly because the concept of eight hundred million was just too frightening.

For ordinary people, that was another world, but for Ellen Young, it was simply a small birthday gift for her sister.

Although most joked about being ’jealous of her lemonade,’ some were genuinely provoked by the number and lost their senses, actually questioning why Ellen Young was so rich?!

In their minds, researchers should be impoverished and hardworking, the kind that’s too busy to eat due to constant dedication in the laboratory. Even if they achieve great success, it seems they should be humble, feeling disrespectful to wear a luxury item in front of the common folk.

What’s the reason for this?!

Can’t one spend the money they earned with their own skills?

Ellen Young is very talented, but when it comes to money, it seems many things become corrupt.

Online theories even emerged like, "With all that wealth, being such a prominent academician, why not help the children in the mountain area? Shouldn’t she help develop the mountain area?"

Lucy Wood was stunned when she saw the message.

Felicia Frost was equally stunned. Although only a minority harbored such sentiments, their existence meant there really were people whose brains were ’faulty,’ leading her to curse, "Do these people have holes in their brains? With the achievements Ellen Young has made, she can squander her wealth however she wants, who are these nobodies to question her?"

Lucy Wood also frowned somewhat, "I shouldn’t have opened that package on the crew set. Now that it’s been spread, it’s caused trouble for Ellen Young again."

"Don’t keep thinking that it’s trouble for Ellen Young. People have mouths; they’ll speak regardless. Besides, your sister didn’t hesitate to give you a mansion, what’s there for you to worry about? It’s just these people being insane. The sensible majority still exists. Haven’t you seen many people talking back?"

After Felicia Frost finished speaking, she made a phone call, mainly to clean up some of these comments and see if anyone was intentionally trying to tarnish Ellen Young’s image.

She was really overthinking it. With Ellen Young’s current status, and her being unlike ordinary people, abnormal theories such as international figures deliberately stirring up trouble were clearly investigated by the country, and any attempt to smear Ellen Young’s image was promptly looked into. It turned out that these people were not being led by anyone; they were just—purely brain dead.

There’s always a portion of the population that’s resentful of the wealthy, viewing wealth as the original sin.

There are really quite a few of them.

If you talk about deleting comments, then they’ll start screaming about the lack of freedom of speech. If you don’t delete the comments, those abnormal ones are just annoying to look at.

Clinton White was also extremely annoyed. When he had sent the mansion to Lucy Wood, he had never intended to be discreet about it. Now seeing people talking about Ellen Young online ticked him off.

He even went as far as to create an alternate account to confront people.

["Why can’t she give her own sister a mansion when she’s so wealthy? She’s a researcher, so she should be broke? Sorry, but you couldn’t earn what she makes from a single patent in ten lifetimes, absolutely hilarious."]

["She hasn’t helped children in the mountain area? How would you know that, and if you’re so skilled, why haven’t I seen you donate half of your salary to support children there?"]

Indeed, the current atmosphere is such that if scientific staff accumulate some wealth or wear a brand name, it’s immediately regarded as ill-gotten. Some choose to stay low-profile to eliminate negative impressions, but Clinton White is not one for downplaying his character.
