Hatred Forever? Fable 2

Ok, so at the end of Fable 2, I chose the "unlimited wealth" card (which is only 1 million! (My dog is worth more than that!)), and now everybody thinks I'm evil and corrupt. So, the bottom line is, they hate me. Is there anyway to change peoples opinion? Can you make people like you again? Or are you like turning into a Mr. Burns, where nobody likes you?

Thank you :)
