You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 34
Who will like it?
When rissa hung up the call, her cheeks were already blushing. It would seem obvious to anyone
who witnessed her shy look that her heart was fluttering at this moment.
She felt slightly nervous after returning to the hotel, with her heart racing rapidly. All she could think
about was Matthew’s face and his charmingly charismatic voice…
Shit!
Even rissa could not help but giggle shyly.
Truthfully, she knew very well that it was simply too easy to fall in love with Matthew.
If he was serious about what he had said, it would be impossible for her to refuse.
The reason that she kept dying it was that she had wanted to calm herself down. After all, she had
yet to do something as rash as this, without having any consideration of the possible consequences.
If she were to calm down in a week’s duration, she would possibly have different feelings in regard to
the matter.
However, she had a feeling that she would end up sumbing to Matthew’s advances. In other words,
she had already admitted defeat but was just trying to act all melodramatic.
Her phone’s urgent ringing tone suddenly interrupted rissa’s shy thoughts.
When she saw that it was a call from Ellie, she felt embarrassed. Ellie’s furious voice came ring the
moment she answered the phone.
“re, Shermaine is a crazy woman. Stay away from her! Why didn’t you heed my advice?”
“What’s wrong?”
She did not expect Ellie to know about Shermaine’s deliberate acts from that morning.
“What’s wrong? You are on the trending searches right now, with everyone hurling insults at you. It’s all
over social media that an ignorant screenwriter had dared to go through a scene with Shermaine, a top
actress. Those insults are downright disgusting. Go and take a look at them… Never mind, don’t look at
them. They’re all left by her fanatic fans. There’s nothing to see there.”
Although Ellie had informed rissa to steer away from thements, she could not help herself from
doing it.
While still on the call, she quickly turned on herptop and immediately saw the trending searches.
A Screenwriter Goes Through A Scene With Shermaine.
A “Diva-like” Screenwriter.
Shermaine Remains Humble Amidst The Amateur Screenwriter’s Pretentious Act.
These were considered the more neutral headlines out in the mix. On the opposite spectrum, her social
media ount, with the username @rissa.quigley, was already flooded with criticisms.
Of the one million followers she had, some of them were scolding her alongside Shermaine’s fans. Yet,
there was also a portion of her loyal book fans trying their best to defend her. They thought that
everything was a huge misunderstanding that featured a cordial discussion between an actress and a
screenwriter.
However, these rationalments were soon overwhelmed by criticisms. Within a short span of time, a
plethora of negative scandals about rissa was exposed.
Someone who imed to be in the same editorial team as rissa said that her novels only got raving
reviews because she bribed the editors. Her follower count, her likes, and other results were all due to
her deliberate maniption. The reason that she never showed up in public—not even to attend the
annual meetings—was that she was an ugly and vicious old woman, who was afraid of losing followers
if she was exposed to the public eye.
The whistleblower even imed that rissa only managed to sell the film rights and secure
investments after sleeping with the owner of the filmpany.
Another member of the crew revealed that rissa was an extremely arrogant person, while
Shermaine had always been humble. It was shocking to see rissa thinking so highly of herself and
insisting on going through the scenes with other actors. She even doubted the director’s opinion and
bossed everyone in the studio around. If that was not shameless enough, she tried to seduce the main
male lead, Ryler…
In conclusion, all sorts of insults and scandals were heaped onto rissa simultaneously.
Why hasn’t an ugly b*tch like you died yet?
This woman is disgusting. I hope that her entire family dies!
She just giarizes the shit out of everything. Not only that, but she’s also a sl*t who has slept with
many men. A piece of crap like her is downright disgusting…
Reading these insults, rissa was so furious that she began to tremble in anger.
She had never borne the brunt of such aggressive attacks. In fact, there were evenments that
were more vicious than those.
When she first became popr, she had encountered other authors trying to sway the readers by
criticizing and insulting her. However, those were nothingpared to the insults that she was
receiving now.
This was rissa’s first time being a victim of cyberbullying.
She gripped her phone tightly as if she was going to shatter it with her brute force. Driven by an
impulse, she had the urge to read more of thements, the more upset and furious she got. She
wanted to see how evil humanity was and how vicious the keyboard warriors could be.
“re, re…”
Ellie was extremely worried. When rissa did not respond to her for a long while, she knew that
something was amiss.
“Stop reading thements. Those are all irrelevant people who have nothing better to do. Why
should you care about their opinions?”
“I… I’m fine.”
rissa’s voice trembled as she finally turned herptop off. The notification sounds on her phone rang
incessantly, prompting her to nce at the messages. They were from her readers and the editorial
team.
“You’re still iming to be fine? Are you crying? Don’t be scared, re. I’ll help you. Shermaine must
be the culprit behind this. I’ll settle the score with her.” “Don’t, Ellie. It might not be her. There were a lot
of people present in the studio, so many of them have witnessed me going through the scenes with
Shermaine. Someone else might have leaked it instead. Don’t confront her without any evidence. Plus,
we might have wrongfully used her.”
“We can’t just leave it like this, can we?”
“Forget it.”
After calming down for a while, rissa’s rationality returned. “Ellie, this matter only blew up because
of Shermaine’s fame and influence. There is always trending news like this popping up every day.
Soon, everything will be settled and left in the dust. Let’s not do anything about it. I’ll take a break from
social media too. It’s better if I refrain from tainting my eyes with those nastyments. I’ll just stay
further away from Shermaine from now on. If I don’t provoke her, she can’t possibly seek trouble with
me, right? I’ll be leaving in a few days too. Let’s just keep it as it is.”
“But…”
“Forget it, my conscience is clear. I’m not part of the entertainment industry anyway, so it doesn’t matter
if others criticize me. I just need to continue writing my novels seriously. I’m a bit tired today, so I’ll go
and rest first.”
After hanging up the call, rissa wallowed in her sadness. She read the consoling messages that her
kind readers left her, saying that they trusted her no matter the circumstance. Her editor had also
informed her that thepany would release a statement and announce that they would take legal
actions against the ones who had spread the malicious rumor. Her team unanimously sided with her.

This touched rissa greatly, dissipating the anguish that had been tormenting her earlier. There are
still a lot of kind people in this world, huh?
However, Ellie was still filled with indignation.
Her instincts told her that this certainly had something to do with Shermaine. After all, she had seen
through Shermaine’s hypocrisy since young and detested her greatly. The duplicitous woman always
hated to see someone who was better or prettier than her. It was evident that her aim was to defame
rissa.
Hence, Ellie called Damon immediately and asked him to investigate the identity of the person who
made the first post.
In fact, he had already started his investigation. Even though rissa had rejected him, he could not
bear the sight of her getting bullied.
When Ellie returned home, her grandmother and her mother were chatting happily, as though
something joyous had urred.
When they saw how unhappy Ellie was, they could not help but ask, “What’s wrong, Ellie? Did
something happen?”
“Mom, Grandma, rissa has gotten bullied.”
“Who bullied her?”
Ellie ryed the entire incident to them, not forgetting to criticize Shermaine whenever there was an
opening.
“re told me that Shermaine was acting weirdly. She looked for re all of a sudden to discuss the
script and even deliberately asked her to guide her with her acting in front of so many people. In the
end, this mess happened. That b*tch must have hired someone to defame re.”
“That’s… That’s impossible. Shermaine is a good girl. There must have been a misunderstanding.”
Esther did not believe that Shermaine would do such a thing.
However, Ellie had already expected her reaction. “Grandma, why can’t see through her yet?
Shermaine is a maniptive woman who can act really well. Don’t you believe what I’ve just said?”
“It’s not that I don’t trust you, rather, there might have been a misunderstanding. It’s possible that
someone else in the crew deliberately spread the rumor instead. There are all sorts of ridiculous things
across the Inte, so why should you care about it? Since re has already chosen to let it be, you
should stop harping on it too.”
“I…”
Ellie’s mother tried to stop her from speaking, but Esther continued, “I actually like Shermaine a lot.
Plus, she really fancies Matthew. Didn’t he go to the film studio to visit her a few days ago? There are
some hopes of them getting together, right?”
When Ellie heard that her grandmother was not only refusing to suspect Shermaine but also hinting
that she might be her future sister-inw, she erupted into a fury.
Bolting up, she stormed out of the house furiously, ignoring her mother’s calls from behind her.
She took a flight and headed straight to the film studio. The first thing she did when shended was to
look for rissa, embracing her warmly as she consoled her.
Hugging Ellie, rissa coaxed, “Truthfully, one cannot put on an act for eternity. If there really is a w
in her character, it’ll be revealed sooner orter. I truly believe that no one can keep up a facade
forever. Furthermore, Shermaine won’t even know how angry you are right now. Even if she does,
she’ll definitely be over the moon for sessfully provoking you, right? Instead of fuming over it, why
don’t you take a good rest and replenish your energy? You can think about the matter afterward,
okay?”
“Yeah, you’re right. I must not torment myself. If that b*tch knows how furious I am now, she’ll certainly
be overjoyed. I will not be angry! Just wait, I’ll definitely rip her deceptive facade off! Let’s sleep now.”
rissaughed as shey down, while Ellie wrapped her arms around her tightly.
Smiling exasperatedly, she switched off the bedsidemp and fell asleep.
As both of them slept reallyte the previous night, they were stillzing around in bed, unable to wake
up even though it was alreadyte morning.
The doorbell woke both of them up eventually. rissa gently nudged Ellie, who got out of bed in a
daze, and opened the door.
“Who’s there?”
When she caught sight of the man who was standing outside, she was stunned.
“Uncle Matt? Why are you here?”
At the mention of his name, rissa abruptly sat up straight from her bed. The immense fright that she
gotpletely jolted her awake.
She scrambled out of bed and dashed to the door unhesitatingly.
“I informed Uncle Matthew that you were here. Since you came here without informing your family, I
was afraid that they would be worried about you.”
Ellie frowned when she saw how anxious rissa was.
On the other hand, Matthew raised his eyebrows teasingly as his gaze swept across rissa’s
body. This woman was so scared that she got out of the bed before realizing what she’s wearing right
now.
