The voice messages were only the start.
He didn't just curse her parents—he tore into every last member of her family.
Jade, who'd acted so high and mighty in front of Sherry, begged over the phone desperately.
"Babe, don't go yet! Listen to me—this isn't our fault! It's Sherry!"
She glared daggers at Sherry.
"We got fired because this bitch is sabotaging us behind my back... If you're mad, come over and hit her as hard as you want!"
"Are you fucking kidding me? You think I'm blind? They trusted you to represent their brand, and you posted their rival's stuff online, promoting their competition! How did I end up with someone this stupid!"
The man on the other end was absolutely furious.
Jade had never been spoken to like this. Tears poured down her face.
"You said you'd always have my back, no matter what I did..."
"Have your back? For this dumb move? Don't you dare show your face near me again, or I'll knock some sense into you!"
Sobbing didn't help at all. The proud celebrity had broken down into a crying mess.
She wailed, full-on meltdown.
Watching their so-called backer fall apart, the others froze. Their arrogance was gone completely.
They could only stare as she cried.
Then a familiar figure walked over, with a familiar voice.
Julia had appeared out of nowhere. She gently helped Jade up.
Jade had lost all strength and composure.
"I'm ruined. I'm completely done. I'll never be a star again."
She didn't care about her image at all, snot and tears all over her face.
"Picking on a girl like this—Sherry, you just keep getting worse. You enjoy watching people suffer, don't you?
"You can treat me that way if you want—I let it slide for Gilbert's sake. But not everyone will put up with you. You owe her an apology."
She stepped forward, acting like some kind of hero.
Apologize?
Sherry looked at Jade. "I liked you better when you were acting tough."
Jade's heart sank even deeper. If she backed down now, she was really finished.
