Chapter 440 - 369: Whose Child is it? (5/10)_3
By the end, the only one without a reaction was Link's side.
Rumors from the paparazzi also surfaced that Link's cousin Selena, mother Catherine, and agent Ms. Mandy had formed a group and headed to Taylor's residence in Los Angeles, presumably to visit Taylor.
There were also child and maternity specialists online explaining the physical changes in women after pregnancy. Based on Taylor's current figure, it is estimated that she is about twenty-four weeks pregnant, which would be around April. At that time, Link and Taylor were going through a breakup.
By this point, there was no need for further discussion; Link was one hundred percent the father of the child in Taylor's womb, a product of before their breakup.
Once the father of the child was confirmed, online public opinion moved to the next stage.
What would Taylor do about the baby? Would she have an abortion? Would Link accept the child? Could this lead to a reconciliation between the two?
Regarding the question of whether Taylor would terminate the pregnancy, netizens agreed that since Taylor has kept the baby until now, it was clear she intended to give birth. If she chose to have an abortion after the exposure, she would face a lot of criticism and public pressure, making it not worth the backlash.
The second point of discussion was whether Link would accept the child.
While discussing this point, the temper of the netizens suddenly became irritable.
Many brought up the past, cursing him as a scumbag. Originally, when he and Taylor were together, they were considered the "Golden Boy and Jade Girl," making many believe in love again.
But just over a year later, due to a fake private video and because of Link's indiscreet private life, the two broke up, leading many to become disappointed with celebrity couples once again and forming a general consensus that there is no true love in the entertainment industry.
Initially, many felt that Taylor was making a big fuss over a fake video, causing an unnecessary breakup, and felt sympathy for Link.
But Link's subsequent behavior was a blow to many.
This guy, within just three or four months after breaking up with Taylor, was exposed to have had more than ten rumored girlfriends, with evidenced relationships with five, proving to be a real scumbag. Taylor's decision to kick him out was absolutely wise.
The only unfortunate thing was becoming pregnant with his child.
Now that Link had a child, how would he handle it? Would he become a prodigal son returning, and reconcile with Taylor?
A portion of netizens supported the two getting back together, to give the unborn child a complete family.
Moreover, Link is now the leading male singer in the pop music scene, with the world's best-selling album sales.
And Taylor is the top figure in the country music scene at this stage, a singer whose album sales are among the highest in the United States, and the youngest music queen.
Both are young, talented, and good-looking geniuses.
If the two could join hands and walk together, they would definitely be regarded as one of the most dreamy couple combinations in music history.
However, those opposed to their reconciliation also had valid reasons.
Netizens believed that Link was a scumbag, not deserving of a good girl like Taylor.
Even if the two came together now because of the child, Link would still cheat when he wanted to, and if Taylor couldn't accept it, they would face another breakup.
In that case, it would be better for them to go their separate ways and never contact each other again, which is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.
As for the child, it should be treated as a beautiful accident. Just because of the child, Taylor shouldn't have to sacrifice her happiness to accommodate a scumbag, which would be too unfair to her.
Upon seeing these comments, Link shook his head speechlessly.
So far, Taylor had not acknowledged the pregnancy, but netizens had already figured out the child's name and future, completely meddling in others' affairs without their input.
"Link, do you know, your reputation now stinks worse than durian, it's absolutely rotten."
In the villa, Selena lay on the sofa, eating the grapes he had just washed, sniffing her nose.
"Cut the crap! You just saw Taylor, how is she?"
Link asked while handing her ice cream.
""It's true, Taylor is really pregnant, look at her belly."
Selena picked up a plate and placed it under her clothes to demonstrate, "Catherine said at least four months, but Taylor also said that her pregnancy has nothing to do with you, and she will never tell the child who his father is. Just let the child grow up fatherless, Link, you're such a bastard. What the hell did you do to make Taylor so angry?"
"Don't talk nonsense, I just made a mistake any man could make, I didn't do anything bad."
Link said.
Selena rolled her eyes dramatically, then suddenly pounded her small fists on his shoulder a few times, claiming it was for Taylor and the child.
Link couldn't be bothered to argue with her, simply telling her that the gift he brought from Asia was on her bedroom counter.
Upon hearing about the gift, Selena's eyes lit up. She handed him the grapes and dashed upstairs in her slippers with a clatter.
At first, excited cheers came from upstairs, but after a few seconds, they turned into a series of frustrated shouts.
"Damn you, Link, I will never tell you about Taylor's matters again, I swear!"
"That's something I brought back from the other side of the Earth, remember to finish it."
"I absolutely will not!"
Selena yelled indignantly.
Link shook his head and saw Mrs. Anna approaching with a rather distressed expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Boss, ever since Taylor's pregnancy was exposed, there has been a lot of negative publicity about you on the internet; people are calling you the Music Industry's Number One Scumbag and are urging fans to boycott your album, to prevent you from having a foothold in the music scene."
Mrs. Anna said.
"Really?"
Link sat cross-legged on the carpet, opened his laptop and started browsing. Although he was prepared, he was still shocked by the torrent of negative coverage on the internet.
Yahoo, MySpace, Entertainment Online, and other news websites and forums were flooded with negative news about him, including his shady past as well as recent sensational gossip.
The comment sections of these news stories were also brimming with vitriolic comments, calling for a ban on this scumbag, demanding that he be pushed out of the music industry.
Link checked Twitter and saw that under the most recent tweet about the Seoul concert poster, there was a barrage of abuse.
This scene inevitably reminded him of the cyberbullying he faced last March after offending a group of black artists, including a backlash from Kanye and his fans.
Back then, his Twitter account had only one to two million followers, with thirty to forty thousand insulting him.
Now, with seventy-two and a half million followers on Twitter, the negative comments reached several hundred thousand.
At a glance, all the comments were filled with negative energy, creating an atmosphere as if everyone was pointing fingers at him. If someone with weaker resolve were subjected to these comments, they might crumble under the pressure.
But Link wouldn't. Having started his career in the boxing ring and now at this point in his journey, he had experienced both flowers and a great number of thorns, as well as applause accompanied by an overwhelming amount of ridicule.
After being criticized so much, his heart had grown thick-skinned; these negative comments didn't affect him much, not even causing him to frown.
"Boss, the similarity of these negative comments is high, it seems someone is orchestrating a smear campaign, guiding public opinion, trying to use the power of netizens to attack us."
Anna analyzed.
Link nodded, thought for a moment, then posted a new tweet expressing that this was a huge surprise, giving thanks to Taylor, and stating that he would take full responsibility for his actions, and never let everyone down.
He also called Scott and instructed Link Music's marketing department to handle the situation.
