Chapter 1056: Chapter 1056: She Should Apologize to Nolan

A netizen claiming to be a bystander stated that they went to the Science Museum today and unexpectedly encountered Nolan and Xiya. They personally saw Xiya hitting Nolan.

To prove they weren’t lying, they even uploaded a video.

Netizens eagerly clicked on the video, and the next second, they were all shocked.

In the video, Nolan was passionately explaining why he ended up being unfaithful. He described Xiya as the "white moonlight" he had longed for but could never have, and how crazy he’s been about her over the years.

Nolan in the video was humble, deeply emotional, entirely different from his usual image of arrogance and nobility.

The netizens watching were dumbfounded.

[The amount of information here is overwhelming. Let me sort this out—so the reason Nolan was unfaithful is because he treated all those women as substitutes for Xiya?]

[If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I’d never believe Nolan could be so pitiful someday.]

[Trash is trash. There are no excuses. Liking someone isn’t a justification for hurting others.]

[Honestly, I feel kind of bad for him. He just really liked someone. Although he made mistakes, he didn’t deserve to be beaten like this.]

[Imagine how happy he must have been when he found out he could get engaged to the person he loves, only to end up having the engagement called off. He must have been devastated.]

[Hold on, isn’t having his engagement called off exactly what he deserved? If he truly loved someone, why would he ever need so many stand-ins? Wake up—this is reality, not a novel.]

The moment the video was posted,

The criticisms toward Nolan immediately shifted.

Some people were moved by Nolan’s deep love, feeling that, while he was unfaithful, at least his love for Xiya was genuine, and he didn’t deserve to suffer so horribly.

Of course, the majority of rational individuals still believed Nolan brought this entirely upon himself and was undeserving of sympathy. If he liked Xiya that much, he shouldn’t have been with other women. Getting hit was exactly what he deserved.

Just as the online buzz was beginning to fade,

Suddenly, this explosive piece of news reignited the fervor online.

It even seemed like someone was deliberately guiding the narrative.

As a result, a minority of people started stating that Xiya was in the wrong. If she didn’t like Nolan, she shouldn’t have agreed to the engagement in the first place, and all she did was hurt someone who deeply loved her.

Through this, it became clear that Xiya might not be as simple as people thought.

Moreover, so-called anti-violence activists emerged to protest, arguing that no matter what grievances existed between Xiya and Nolan, she shouldn’t have hit him in public. Being the first to resort to physical violence meant she owed Nolan an apology.

Since this was peak internet activity time, the discussion remained intensely heated.

On top of that, online opinion was already easy to manipulate, and as long as one person posted a long heartfelt message defending Nolan, a bunch of people would jump in to follow suit.

Now, the internet was divided into multiple factions, fiercely debating whether Nolan deserved to be blamed.

Meanwhile, Nolan, at the center of all this drama, was leisurely sitting on a high-end hospital room sofa, casually scrolling through the polarized opinions online.

Everything was unfolding just as he had expected. Although this wouldn’t completely turn his public image around, it would at least stop the relentless attacks from the entire internet.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Nolan’s lips as he calmly opened his personal social media account, typed out a post, and clicked send.

...

In the midst of all the endless online arguments, netizens suddenly realized that Nolan, who hadn’t updated his account since the engagement party, had just posted a new tweet.

[Nolan: No matter how she treats me, I will never blame her. As long as she can forgive me, she is not at fault. The one who made mistakes is me. If you want to curse, curse at me. None of this has anything to do with her.]
