Chapter 160


    "Bye” Katherine said before she hung up her phone.


    Katherine set the rm and settled in for the night.


    After all, she had a lot of stuff to do tomorrow.


    Katherine was right.


    Queenie''s live broadcast sparked a heated debate on the inte.


    Queenie finally sold herself short to generate articles establishing her innocence.


    It boomeranged to her disadvantage.


    Soon after Queenie''s live public apology ended, several articles were released, iming that Queenie


    was wrong.


    However, it also implied that Katherine was overly calcted, forcing people to apologize on the


    inte.


    In addition, some reporters were unceasingly releasing reports about the divorce between Katherine


    and Zack, for they get money out of it.


    It quickly went viral, and trending topics generated more online engagement, which gave journalists


    more profit.


    They brought up the matter of Katherine divorcing Zack earlier to condition the minds of their audience


    to the idea that Katherine was the kind of person that was overly calcted and that she was shallow


    and petty for making a big deal out of small situations.


    Of course, Alice, being a good friend to Katherine, wasn''t able to control herself after seeing the live


    broadcast, so she tweeted: [If you did something wrong, you did something wrong.If you admitted your


    mistake, you admitted your mistake.But if you said sorry, others do not necessarily have to ept your


    apology'']


    Queenie cried from all the bad things thrown her way by all these people that her eyes turned red.


    If she wanted to point fingers, all she had to do was to look at herself in front of the mirror, and she


    would instantly see who to me.


    Meanwhile, two reportersmented with their different opinions nonstop on national television about


    whose side they were on.


    Queenie''s live broadcast, where she apologized, might have surpassed the previous interviews and


    public apologies of celebrities in terms of the viewer count.


    Katherine''s name was naturally dragged and caught up on the trending topic mostly because she was


    not popr like Queenie, so people started to be curious about her.


    Of course, this matter was all Queenie''s own doing.


    In the beginning, some people, who did not know the truth, were swept to their feet.


    Gradually, the voices of the bashers against Katherine lessened.


    Even those who sympathized with Queenie before stood up to question her red eyes for such a short


    period.


    People were wondering if those were even real tears! Just as most people on the inte were arguing


    whether it was Queenie or Katherine going overboard, an anonymous citizen started to post some


    things on the inte.


    The anonymous person''s post was: [I knew Queenie and Ms.Wilson, but the three of us are not


    friends.However, I''ve met the two of them during the birthday celebration of the well-respected


    grandfather of the Johnston family, and Ms.Wilson was still Zack''s wife.At that time, she was known


    more as Mrs.Colburn.]


    The anonymous person continued to post: [Mrs.Colburn was invited to attend the said birthday


    celebration, which was held at the house of the Johnston family.]


    Anonymous person: [She was regarded to be a gold digger at that time, and the Johnston family looked


    down on her.It was only because of Zack that they allowed Mrs.Colburn to enter the family home.]


    Anonymous person: [During the said birthday celebration, something happened that caused


    Mrs.Colburn to leave the ce and the birthday celebration.She had met a lot of people who thought


    she was amazing, and then she was suddenly pushed into the swimming pool by Queenie and her


    minions'']


    Netizens who were so invested in the divorce rumors and gossips about Katherine and Zack knew who


    exactly this so-called Mrs.Colburn was.


    Anonymous person: [To make Mrs.Colburn even more embarrassed, when she was looking for a ce


    to change to dry her clothes and herself, Queenie forced the servants to point the opposite way to


    Mrs.Colburn, which led the poor woman to identally break into the lounge of the grandfather of the


    Johnston family,]


    Anonymous person: [She wasn''t able to change her wet clothes because of that, and she just had


    enough of everything that she left the party, leaving Zack behind.Only the ex Mrs.Colburn knew how


    she was able to leave the family home that fateful night.]


    Anonymous person: [I only said this now because I cannot keep quiet anymore about how bad of a


    person Queenie is.I remembered this incident after Queenie''s live broadcast a few days ago, where


    she apologized to Ms.Wilson.Maybe there is some truth that Ms.Wilson was taking revenge for what


    Queenie did to her before.However, I can say that I don''t find anything wrong with that because if I


    were in Katherine''s shoes, I would probably do the same...]


    The moment this anonymous person posted these, the inte went wild.


    Initially, some people supported Queenie, but after the post of the anonymous person, almost and


    practically everyone was on Katherine''s side.


    It all boiled down to whether this anonymous person was telling the truth, which meant Queenie was a


    bad person in real life and that she was not worthy of an ounce of sympathy from anyone.


    Or maybe, Katherine was this anonymous person who posted these things because she still had not


    forgotten the trauma of how she had been treated in the past.


    After all, hiding behind the secrecy of a keyboard was an easy way out to vent one''s anger during this


    time of technology.


    Traumas like that were not easily forgotten.


    Sometimes, avenging oneself was just an easy solution to feeling better, but Katherine was a bigger


    person than that.


    People preferred individuals like Katherine more than the kind of people who allowed others to vite


    them indefinitely.


    Most people''s ideals were, "I wouldn''t do bad things to them if they didn''t do it first.If people offended


    me, I would be like a criminal, and I would get back at them for what they did to me!"


    Of course, when people started investigating and delving their heads into issues where it didn''t concern


    them, people soon found out that the posts of the anonymous person were true.


    The point of the matter was, Queenie did something terrible three years ago, so her apologies didn''t


    make sense.


    What happened was something not worthy of apologizing on live broadcast anymore.Original from N?velDrama.Org.
