He held out the phone to his friends and teased Marco.


    “Dude, your ex-wife is ruthless. People are eating Marina up online. She must be so sad now.”


    Unlike ter, Jimmie didn’t make fun of Marco when he saw the memes.


    He frowned and said, “Marco, aren’t you going to step in? Don’t you think it’s inappropriate for your ex-


    wife to go at Marina in such a manner?”


    Marco kept mute. His body was here, but his mind was elsewhere. The image of Loraine and Allen


    together was in his head. He didn’t give a hoot about what Marina was facing. After all, she had it


    coming for her since she was fond of making trouble.


    “Say something, Marco!”


    ter snapped his fingers at Marco’s eye level. It wasn’t until this moment that Marco jolted back to


    reality.


    “Guys, what do you think?


    What does Loraine have going on with Allen?”


    “Huh? Haven’t you been listening to us?” Jimmie rubbed his temples exasperatedly.


    Even the dumbest of the three friends, ter, knew that something was wrong. He shook his head.


    “Tsk, tsk! Marco, you seem to be infatuated with that ex-wife of yours. Did she give you a love portion?


    What’s so special about her? Why are so many men obsessed with her?”


    Jimmie was also confused.

    “Something doesn’t feel right at all. Some men might want Loraine for her wealth and status, but that


    doesn’t exin why many outstanding men are crazy about her at the same time. I don’t think Mr.


    Torres and


    Mr. T will give in to her because of wealth.”


    “What do you mean? Just go straight to the point!” ter was growing impatient already.


    Rolling his eyes at him, Jimmie exined, “I mean, the rtionship between Loraine and those men


    might not be what we think.”


    “Bah! What else will a man and woman have between them asides romance?”


    Jimmie looked at Marco, who was quiet again uttered ter, snorting with disdain.


    Marco lowered his head, lost in thought.


    Meanwhile, Marina was throwing a tantrum back home.


    “I’m dead sure Loraine is behind this. That bitch uploaded the photos and videos on the inte! Mom,


    they are bashing me non-stop. How do I go out in the public after such humiliation?”


    After smashing everything she could Lay her hands on, Marina copsed on the floor and burst into


    tears.


    Laura hugged her daughter lovingly, and her resentment for Loraine deepened.
