[Joanna’s Little Butterfly】: Such a staged photo. How much did that woman pay you for this? So disgusting!
[Joanna’s Fangirl】: Thanks, but our girl isn’t interested! Brother–in–law already picked her up from the set!
[Love Joanna】: I can’t stand that woman’s smug face! Does anyone know her Instagram? Tag her–I’ll drag her through the mud!

Chapter 67
[Celestine! Daughter of a small–town nobody from Oceanview City, orphaned young! Former employee at Fordham Group for six years!]
[Come At Me, Dummy】: Ha! Figures. Just another social climber grasping at straws. If your dead parents could see you now, they’d die of shame all over again!
Celestine’s hands trembled with fury as she read that comment.
Who were these people to judge her? And what right did they have to drag her parents into this?
But the online storm only intensified.
So–called “employees” from Fordham Group started coming forward, posting so–called testimonies.
[This Miss Selwyn was always up to something at our company! Always finding excuses to meet Mr. Fordham alone–honestly, women like her drive us nuts. Always taking days off, never any real skills!]
[Ever wonder why that bitch Celestine left after six years? She tried to sleep her way up the ladder! Mr. Fordham fired her on the spot but was decent enough to let her save face and claim she resigned!]
Reading these “testimonies,” Celestine was at a loss. She couldn’t
understand–what had she ever done to them to deserve this? Why were they so intent on smearing her?
Soon, trolls even found their way to the official Kismet Collere page, flooding it with abuse and demands.
Celestine couldn’t take it anymore, She replied to each slanderous account, calling out their lies one by one.
It didn’t do any good.
Left with no choice, she verified her identity and, after years of silence, posted her very first Instagram update.
[Celestine: If you don’t know the whole story, don’t comment.]
She didn’t expect the post to go unnoticed.
Instead, Joanna’s fans unleashed a new wave of vitriol.
[Joanna’s Secret Keeper】: What a joke! The mistress is playing the victim now? Ugly and loud–apologize to Joanna, now!

[Sweet Wynn】: You worthless tramp. Stop pretending to be innocent. The whole story is just you failing to seduce a man!
[Sleeper】: Why aren’t you dead yet? Go join your parents in the ground! May your whole family rot!
