Because he claimed to know both Joanna Lawrence and Ashton Heath and was well-versed about the inside story of their flash marriage, and he spoke about it in great detail unlike those ambiguous whistleblowing reports, his words were taken to be true by most netizens.
After all, netizens are followers.
They knew nothing about Joanna Lawrence anyway, so of course they weren't going to unconditionally believe her.
They would believe whoever made more sense analytically and whose expose seemed more authentic.
Moreover, it was indeed true that Joanna Lawrence had married Ashton Heath only a few days after her break-up with David Benington.
For two people who had known each other only for a few days, there couldn't possibly be any love between them.
Since there was no love and Joanna Lawrence's status was ordinary at the time, there was bound to be a special reason for Ashton Heath to marry her.
