Clarissa was scrolling through the internet when she realized that Shermaine made a Twitter post.
“Love is hard. How should I tell these people that no matter how great a man is, it makes no difference as he is taken.”
Her post created waves within minutes.
Previously, Shermaine had announced that her wedding date was around the corner. Oddly, no news from her followed.
The netizens were speculating that she was referring to her boyfriend, a socialite who was a good match for her.
Shermaine had stayed silent for a long time. Then, she suddenly posted that line on Twitter. It did not take a genius to put two together that she had been cheated on.
Immediately, her Twitter account became the top trending search.
The Queen Lost the Battle to Her Boyfriend’s Mistress…
After seeing the news, Clarissa felt perplexed.
For all she knows, Shermaine’s post may be directed to Sienna instead of her. Even so, Clarissa was still troubled by it.
Matthew was clearly never Shermaine’s boyfriend. She was the one who made it up and released it to the public. However, it worked because whenever people mentioned Shermaine, they would assume that Matthew was her boyfriend. Although she did not explicitly state that he was her boyfriend, the clues she left pointed towards him. Therefore, everyone was misled.
The scheme she cooked up did not necessarily disgust Sienna, but it did irk Clarissa.
Of course, she was upset. Despite so, she could not refute Shermaine’s post on Twitter directly. Therefore, she sent it to Matthew.
Within seconds, Matthew video called her.
The moment Clarissa answered the call, she pouted. Looking at her puffed cheeks, Matthew smiled in amusement.
“Clare, I will warn Shermaine not to continue spreading rumors about me,” he assured.
To his surprise, Clarissa frowned, “Who allowed you to contact her?”
“Alright, I won’t contact her. I will get someone to take down her post instead,” Matthew chuckled.
“Don’t be silly. Do you have anything to do with that post?”
The Twitter post did not specifically mention Matthew’s name, so he would have nothing to gain even if it got taken down.
Matthew pondered for a moment before he declared, “Okay, I know what to do.”
“What is it?” Clarissa asked curiously.
Grinning, the man confidently stated, “It will definitely make you happy.”
Following that, Matthew ended the call. Clarissa was still sullen, and she spent half the day dragging her feet up and down the stairs. She also strolled through the yard for a long time before she turned her phone on again.
She finally felt somewhat better after making several online purchases.
Without looking through Twitter again, Clarissa managed to calm herself down.
Unfortunately, her phone started to buzz with messages. It was from the group chat with Jeremy and the rest, and they were mentioning her repeatedly.
“Matt the mighty!”
“All hail Matt!”
“That’s a man!”
“Please stay in line for the greatest Matt!”
After she scrolled through the pile of useless messages, she finally found the main point.
“Clarissa, Matt created a Twitter account. His first post was a slap in her face. You should take a look at it now! He definitely posted it for you.”
Immediately, Clarissa opened her Twitter. She did not have to search Matthew’s Twitter account as the news made it to the hot search list.
“The Queen Is Smacked Right back In The Face.”
After Clarissa clicked on the headline, she found Matthew’s Twitter account.
I would like to declare that I have never entered into an intimate relationship with anyone in showbiz. Therefore, I never had a girlfriend nor a fiancée from the industry. As our parents knew each other, we occasionally met, but we were never more than friends. Regarding the unfounded rumours earlier, please stop spreading them. If there are any more false news regarding it in the future, I will get my lawyer to deal with it.
It was a simple post, and he did not mention any names either. However, Matthew’s post came after Shermaine’s.
This was definitely the biggest diss of the year.
Twitter was buzzing with netizens’ comments.
Despite Matthew’s clarification, not everyone took his side. Many netizens did not have a good impression of people like Matthew. Therefore, they assumed he only posted the clarification to cut his ties with Shermaine because he was guilty of having a mistress. Since Shermaine always upheld a good image, she had many supporters.
In this situation, more people were speaking out for Shermaine while criticizing Matthew.
Regardless, some people managed to analyze the situation rationally. Matthew never admitted to dating Shermaine, while the latter had been tooting her own horn and bringing the president of Tyson Corporation into the picture.
There were also a small group of people who thought both parties were the problem instead. They questioned why he chose to clarify the situation at this particular time when he could have done so earlier or even later. It made them suspect that Matthew actually have a new girlfriend.
While most of the netizens supported the celebrity, some verified accounts showed support to the man.
Headed by Jeremy, several big names from D City, including Justin, started standing up for Matthew.
Justin was responsible for Shermaine’s success, yet he pointed out that they knew Matthew and Shermaine for a long time, and they were sure that both parties had never dated.
Other big names in showbiz represented by Yaala also praised Matthew, with some even posting meaningful comments.
These posts confused the netizens.
Nobody in showbiz seemed to support Shermaine. Did they have a grudge against her? Otherwise, was Shermaine really putting up a show?
Some were doubtful, while others believed them. There was no end to the gossips.
Fortunately, no one mentioned Clarissa’s name so far.
A portion of those who supported Matthew knew about his relationship with Clarissa, yet they did not mention it to protect her.
Reading the post, Clarissa felt a warm fuzzy feeling spreading all over her and was grateful to him.
He isn’t some teenager, yet he acts so rashly.
While Matthew’s post clarified his relationship with Shermaine, some had misunderstood him to be a scumbag.
Meanwhile, Clarissa did not reply to Matthew’s message immediately. While at home, she felt happy but missed him at the same time.
On the other hand, Shermaine was shocked by how cruel Matthew was.
She knew who he was doing this for.
Biting her lips, she swore to take revenge.
No matter what, it was no use to go against Matthew. Therefore, she decided to target Clarissa.
Since the first time Shermaine laid her eyes on that woman, she hated her appearance, character, and skills. Now, she knew that they were fated to be enemies.
How dare she stole my man?
I don’t even know when that b*tch even hooked up with Matt. Were there sparks between them when they met at the film studio for the first time? Did they take me as a fool since then?
How could I be so blind all this while?
Everything makes sense now. Matthew must be the one who handled the online attack on Clarissa. He probably got her the role in Justin’s movie and her current studio too.
With just a pretty face, she managed to secure a promising career. If she did not have any outside help, how else could she achieve it?
Well, how will the Tysons react when they find out that a woman like her has hooked up with Matthew?
Furthermore, Clarissa is Ellie’s classmate.
Chuckling to herself, Shermaine predicted that men would only play with someone like Clarissa.
Without hesitation, she picked up the phone and called Margaret.
Moments later, Clarissa received a call from the Tysons.
It was not Ellie nor Matthew, but Margaret.
Her tone was curt, and she did not make any small talk.
“I want you to come here now. Don’t you dare tell Matthew about the call.”
Her request made Clarissa’s face turn pale. Obviously, Margaret found out about her relationship with Matthew.
“Miss, what’s wrong? Are you heading out? Let me inform Sir.”
Jenny wanted to call Matthew when she noticed that something was off about Clarissa as the latter rushed out of the house.
“No need for that. Jenny, I will be with Gina so it will be fine. We are going to take a walk, and I will be back soon,” Clarissa quickly came up with an excuse.
Without explaining any further, she left Zen Highlands.
As Gina did not know about the issue with the Tysons, when she heard that Clarissa was heading to the Tyson residence, she did not question and went ahead to drive her there.
Clarissa’s heartbeat raced as she walked into the Tyson residence. Nervous, she cautiously stepped in.
She only managed to take a few steps when a teacup landed beside her feet and shattered.
At that instant, she froze in fright. She looked up in horror, only to see Margaret’s gaze filled with disgust, unlike her usual kind and tender look.
She snapped, “Clarissa, is this your goal? Ellie treats you as her best friend, while Yuliana and I have been good to you all this time. You are so young, yet you are shameless enough to seduce a man that is almost your uncle’s age? How can you be this dirty-minded and shallow at such a young age? Do you think you can upgrade your status by doing that? That’s impossible! The Tysons cannot accept a woman like you. You don’t qualify and have no place in our family.”
Clarissa could only silently listen to the scoldings.
Being in an embarrassing situation, her face was as pale as a sheet, and she did not dare move an inch.
“I want you to pack up your bags and leave Zen Highlands and D City right now. I never want to see you again, and don’t you dare come to the Tyson residence anymore. Matthew already has a worthy fiancée, unlike a shallow and vain woman like you. Get out!”
