“Yes. They agreed to transfer the rights. Of course, the contract details still need further discussion. I had planned to present this proposal at the board meeting, but recent family issues delayed it.”
The patriarch, delighted, responded enthusiastically, “Good! I’ll fully support you!”
“Thank you, Father. If we announce this now, it might help shift attention away from the wedding incident.”
“Excellent! Do as you’ve planned!”
While the patriarch was thrilled, everyone else had their own thoughts. Their expressions soured, especially Andrea, who momentarily forgot about Scott Henry’s fiasco. If Livinus succeeded with this herbal tea project, it would bolster his influence further, making him even harder to challenge
Online, some people began sympathizing with Olivia due to the runaway groom scandal. Many seemed to forget her role as a mistress, especially her small but vocal fanbase, who attacked Scott Henry, painting Olivia as the victim.
Comments under trending topics included sentiments like:
“Do you even understand how hard it is for a woman to carry a child? Olivia’s already been through so much! Show some compassion!”
Sophia sneered at the spectacle. She had underestimated Olivia’s ability to bounce back so quickly, playing the pity card to garner sympathy and rewrite her narrative.
Initially, Sophia had no intention of getting involved. But as marketing accounts began spreading posts claiming Olivia was a victim, they also dragged Sophia’s name through the mud, portraying her as the oppressive ex-wife who bullied Olivia into this situation. Olivia emerged as the tragic heroine, duped by a idiot and wronged by the original wife.
Sophia logged into a side account, intending to post screenshots of the disgusting messages Olivia had sent her earlier that day. Before she could, Sophie sent her a message:
“Sophia, I’m sorry. When I checked my messages earlier, a friend saw them and got so angry she posted them on Instagram to defend you. I just found out and wanted to delete them, but the post already has over 20,000 shares.”
Sophia chuckled. “It’s fine. I was planning to post them anyway.”
“…You’re not mad? Should I tell her to leave it up?”
“Sure!”
Originally, Olivia’s online reputation had been improving. Despite her wrongdoings, her fans latched onto her victim narrative. But just as the public’s indignation against Scott Henry and the other woman reached its peak, an Instagram post by @lovegist derailed everything:
“Don’t be fooled by Olivia’s sob story. Here’s the truth about who the real victim is! On her wedding day, she sent these photos to the ex-wife along with disgusting messages, thanking her for stepping aside. Now karma has come full circle. Olivia and the idiot are a match made in hell!”
The post went viral instantly, garnering over 20,000 shares in no time, and the comments poured in:
“Gross! I actually felt sorry for Olivia earlier. Now? Serves her right!”
“How much more disgusting can Olivia get? She’s a mistress with no shame, flaunting it to the ex-wife? Unreal!”
“Olivia is absolutely shameless! She’s officially the worst mistress in history!”
“For once, the idiot did something right by leaving her! Karma served!”
“At first, I thought her being abandoned was pitiful. Now? Feels satisfying!”
The post reached 40,000 shares in no time, then surpassed 50,000. Former sympathizers turned against Olivia, flooding her Instagram account with scathing comments, forcing her to disable the comment section.
The incident nearly crashed servers, as Olivia dominated media headlines. Her vile comments about the ex-wife plunged her reputation to rock bottom, with calls for her to leave the entertainment industry entirely.
Furious, Olivia threw her phone across the room. Her assistant sighed, growing tired of picking up shattered phones.
“It’s Sophia! She must’ve leaked those screenshots! She’s doing this on purpose to ruin me!” Olivia fumed, then barked at her assistant, “Find me an army of paid commenters to bury this! I refuse to lose to Sophia!”
The assistant, exasperated, shook her head. “I tried. None of the major influencers are willing to delete their posts or smear the ex-wife.”
“They won’t? How useless can you be?” Olivia snapped, pushing the assistant in frustration.
Taking a deep breath, the assistant sneered, “Fine! If I’m that useless, then fire me already!”
“What?” Olivia looked completely stunned, never expecting such words.
“I mean, I want to resign. I’m done! I won’t serve you anymore! Go find someone else to do your bidding!” The assistant tossed her work badge on the floor and then paused as if remembering something. “Oh, and by the way, I completely agree with the netizens. You are absolutely revolting! What did the original wife ever do wrong? You, a shameless mistress, acting so arrogant—it’s disgusting!”
With that, she turned and left without looking back.
Furious, Olivia grabbed her phone and threw it at the assistant, but it missed her and smashed to the ground instead. Picking it up, Olivia saw the phone was broken, and her anger only deepened.
