Chapter 220 Shoe-faced Penelope, truly disgusting!

When she first saw those comments, to be honest, Penelope was a bit confused.

Although her education level was not high, she had been educated from a young age to love her homeland in school. She really couldn't do something like betraying her country.

After scrolling through the comments for a while longer, Penelope finally understood why netizens were cursing her as a traitor.

The outfit she wore for her official photoshoot was very similar to Linlyn's national costume, which is why netizens reacted so angrily.

Josephine was a true Goldwald person, yet she dressed in Linlyn's clothes while playing the role of Josephine. Wasn't this a case of idolizing foreign things?

The culture of Goldwald was profound and extensive, with so many exquisite costumes passed down from our ancestors! Why on earth would we need to wear Linlyn's clothes!

The more netizens scolded Penelope, the angrier they became, and this anger made their scolding even harsher.

Now, the term "traitor" had almost become synonymous with Penelope.

Watching the increasingly intense comments from netizens, a chill ran through Penelope's heart.

She loved her motherland and she wouldn't bear such a groundless accusation.

The more she loved her homeland, the clearer she understood how damaging it could be for an artist in the entertainment industry to be labeled as unpatriotic.

A while ago, a well-known artist who gained fame through serious drama was revealed to be of foreign nationality. His previously expressed patriotic remarks became a joke. He was boycotted across the internet and almost disappeared from the entertainment industry.

There was another female artist who, during an interview at a fashion gala, stated that she didn't like men from Goldwald and preferred the gentlemanly demeanor of men from Linlyn. This statement led to her being virtually besieged by netizens, and eventually, she was directly shelved by her management company.

It wasn't just because of a piece of clothing that Penelope was criticized so harshly. The key point was that someone was guiding the direction of netizens' comments.

Penelope was not willing to accept this inexplicable accusation placed upon her, she wanted to fight back.

Soon, Penelope knew who was really steering the direction of public opinion.

She came across a video while she was checking the news online.

The video of Pennie being interviewed after attending a fashion event.

Pennie was surrounded by reporters, who eagerly vied with each other to ask her questions.

Initially, most of the questions asked by the reporters were related to her relationship with Kemp.

As the interview was about to end, a young male reporter suddenly raised his microphone and asked her, "Ms. Rogers, I heard that you and the internet celebrity Penelope are close friends. What do you think about her unpatriotic act of dressing up as Josephine in Linlyn's national costume?"

"This..."

Pennie looked extremely troubled, but after clearing her throat, she spoke with sincere honesty, "I was really upset when I heard about this. I never thought that after all these years, Penelope would still be so fond of Linlyn's things."

Pennie's words were loaded with implications, the reporters couldn't possibly have missed it. Of course, they had to continue digging for big news.

"Ms. Rogers, what do you mean by that? Was the internet celebrity Penelope really that infatuated with foreign things in the past?"

"Penelope is not a worshipper of foreign things!" Pennie defended Penelope anxiously, "Penelope just had a boyfriend from Linlyn! She regards Linlyn as her homeland because she loved her boyfriend so much!"

After Pennie said this, she looked anxious as if she had let something slip. She quickly covered her mouth and said, "No, it's not like that! I was just... Can you please pretend I didn't say what I just said?"

***

Penelope chuckled as she turned off the video. Pennie's knack for playing innocent was as masterful as ever!

Just, a traitor to the country?

She did want to know, between her and Pennie, who exactly was the traitor!

Originally, she had already been severely criticized by netizens. Now, with what Pennie said in the interview, netizens wished they could give her the most vicious words.

As a public figure, netizens have high expectations for celebrities. It was already somewhat damaging to their image when female celebrities married foreign men and had children. Being involved with Linlyn's man only attracted even more haters.

Once there was a top-tier female celebrity who married a man named Linlyn, causing her influence in the entertainment industry to plummet drastically.

Especially, Pennie also said that Penelope considered Linlyn as her homeland, which undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

Good bestie...

Although Penelope is now endorsing "Throne", she was really so unknown before that it was naturally impossible for the reporters to know that she knew Pennie.

As soon as that reporter appeared, she said that she and Pennie were best friends, there was only one possibility.

He was prompted by Pennie to deliberately ask that question.

"This shoe-faced internet celebrity who can photoshop was really disgusting! She even considered Linlyn as her homeland? If she had the guts, she shouldn't come to Goldwald to make money, she should go to Linlyn!"

"Yes, go to Linlyn! The Linlyn movie I watched seemed very suitable for her!"

"Haha, Linlyn's movies don't have any Photoshop! Is the person above looking to be scared by a shoe-faced monster in their dreams every night?"

"This shoe horn influencer deserves to die! Selling out the country for glory, their whole family should die!"

***

Upon seeing this comment, Penelope's face involuntarily turned pale. She didn't care if others cursed or insulted her, but she couldn't bear to see Chelsea, Dalton, and Lyman being cursed in such a way!

She disdained to be involved with Pennie, however, she felt somewhat relieved. Back then, Pennie had pretended to be her best friend, which allowed her to know some of her past secrets.

This allowed her to return the dirty water to Pennie a thousand, even a million times over!

Quickly turning on the computer, a well-remembered website was typed into the browser. With a gentle click, a news report written in Linlyn script appeared on the computer screen.

And in this news, there was a photo that particularly caught people's attention.

Pennie was dressed in a exquisite national costume of Linlyn, but what attracted the most attention was not her obviously expensive Linlyn national costume, but the Linlyn national flag she was draped in.

Before meeting Kemp, Pennie had been with a man from Linlyn, the Rogers family had some money, but the gap was too large compared to real tycoons.

When Pennie was in school, she wanted to marry into a wealthy family. Therefore, even if she didn't like this top tycoon, Linlyn, she was determined to hold onto him.

The tycoon was patriotic, so Pennie catered to his preferences, wearing the clothing of his country, and even, on his birthday, draped herself in his country's flag to express her love for him.

Back then, Pennie hadn't entered the entertainment industry yet. Plus, she went to Linlyn to celebrate a tycoon's birthday. The photos of her draped in the Linlyn national flag were only reported by Linlyn's media. She might have even forgotten that she once did such a crazy thing to marry into a wealthy family.

Unfortunately, the tycoon was fickle, and in the end, he still dumped her.

Penelope calmly copied and pasted the photos from that website and posted them online.

Penelope had actually thought about using this photo to strike Pennie a blow, she just hadn't found the right opportunity.

She should have thanked Pennie for personally delivering such a great opportunity to her!

The higher one was held up, the more miserable the fall would be.

Stepping on her, Penelope, Pennie had already been hailed as a patriotic justice messenger by the media and netizens, attracting countless fans. She wanted to see, would it hurt when Pennie fell from the clouds!
