slander and insults leveled against me online, as well as Melissa buying the services of sock puppet accounts to attack me. We will sue for damages.”
I was a petty woman, and I would not let anyone who attacked me get away with it. Once the press conference was over, the Internet exploded.
‘Holy shit, Zoe and Lawrence were married?‘
‘I knew Melissa was a piece of shit. She’s a fake bitch. Can’t believe a mistress would mock her lover’s wife.‘
‘Lawrence’s a piece of shit too. I can’t believe he’d cheat on his wife.‘
“They’re bastards.”
Lawrence hadn’t held back in showing his love to Melissa. The videos were online, and they seemed almost mocking now. A lot of companies declared that Melissa was no longer their ambassador.
Some of the roles she got were going to another actress. Even the committee announced that she was no longer going to be best actress. Some of the more fervent fans even sent rotten food and dead mice to Melissa.
She had used the Internet against me all these years. Now, she would get a taste of her own medicine.
Melissa called me, and she was hysterical. “Do you know how much you’ve lowered my value, spewing all that nonsense? Lawrence’s reputation is ruined! The company can’t even keep its value, let alone get listed! You’re a shareholder! That affects you, too! Are you mad?”
“Aw, is someone hurt because I spoke the truth? Why don’t you ask darling Lawrence to prop you up to a trending search. Maybe that’ll save your popularity. Oh, I forgot. He probably doesn’t have time for you now.”
“Zoe! Smith!”
Oh, put a sock in it. I’m not deaf, you know. Calm down. You don’t want to have a miscarriage, do you? Not my fault if you do, though.”
Not long after I hung up, Lawrence came back home looking stormy.
