Maja was seated in her office when the intercom buzzed.
"Ms. Pennyfeather, there's a lady named Antonia here to see you."
"Don’t let her in."
Her tone didn't waver as she hung up, turning her attention back to the feedback pouring in online.
Antonia was in complete panic, regretting not keeping her promise. She clung to the receptionist’s hand as if it was her last lifeline.
"Please go upstairs and find Maja. I need to talk to her urgently!"
Her frantic state alarmed the receptionist who promptly called security to escort her out.
Antonia stood outside the grand building of the Star Movie Group, her heart filled with resentment towards Maja.
It was all because of Maja that she was being castigated by so many people.
Unwilling to accept this, she continued to slander Shawn on Twitter.
However, this time, the netizens were not on her side. They all thought she was insane.
Even Peter called to interrogate her.
"Did you offend someone? Daisy's tweet has been boosted to trending, and I can't even pay to get it down. Antonia, you've crossed the line, not even feeding your own daughter. You wicked bitch!"
Hearing these words from the man she loved, Antonia broke down.
"How good are you! Our daughter turned out this way because you cheated!"
"Antonia, I've already arranged for our daughter to stay with me. We don't need you anymore. We’ll get a divorce and then we are done. My reputation is already ruined, might as well end our marriage."
Antonia panicked totally. She had always believed that Peter, being a celebrity, wouldn't dare divorce her for fear of tarnishing his reputation.
But with the ongoing uproar online, Peter's reputation was already in shreds. He didn't fear this anymore.
"Honey, don't do this. I made a mistake I’m really sorry."
But Peter didn't want to hear any of it and hung up.
His situation was seriously affected as he was the unfaithful party, and netizens didn't hold back their vitriol in his Twitter comments.
Peter promptly booked a flight to leave the country, never to return.
He had enough savings for him and his daughter to live comfortably abroad.
Daisy also sent him a message.
[You failed me, Don't ever come to see me and our child.]
Peter, being heartless, had no intention to reply. He wanted to curse her but thought better of it. Things had already spiraled out of control and were beyond redemption.
Antonia was creating a scene on the streets, weeping and wailing, but the online bashing continued.
When Shawn returned to the company surrounded by a group of people, he felt as if he was dreaming.
In the morning, the internet was filled with criticism against him, but by evening, everyone knew he was wronged.
He had been waiting for the company to cancel the contract. If he was in any other company, he’d be the scapegoat in such situations.

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
