Chapter 10 Do They Have No Shame?
Without interrupting Cassie, she cut off the video feed and searched for her name on the internet. Just typing the name ‘Cartier‘ led her to the latest news. As expected, it was trending again.
#BeingJiltedIsNotTheWorstAfterAll # firmly occupied the fifth spot in the trending list, a sight that Marion could not avoid. Clicking into it, she was greeted by pictures of Jameson and Sally choosing rings.
The trending topic originated from a post by someone claiming to be an acquaintance within the so- called ‘Abandoned Bride Circle‘. Marion clicked into it, observing the so–called gossiper’s revelations [Do you all remember the nationwide uproar caused by the most pitiful abandoned bride over a month ago? Yes, the one who was jilted by the groom and then chased after the groom, only to get into a car accident – Miss Cartier! I have a friend in their circle who discovered something even more dramatic today! It is said that today marks the third anniversary of Miss Cartier and the runaway groom’s relationship. The plan was to get married, complete their honeymoon, and then officially register their marriage today! However, my friend went to COCO to buy a bag and witnessed the runaway groom picking out a ring for his true love! Unbelievable! We thought Miss Cartier had suffered enough, but it turns out there’s an even more pitiful situation!]
Comments on this so–called exposure were mixed. Some praised Miss Cartier for escaping from the scumbag, while others expressed sympathy, considering her unfortunate treatment on their anniversary. Of course, some were simply bystanders, enjoying the spectacle and eagerly anticipating a clash between Miss Cartier and the runaway groom.
Marion scrolled through the comments, quickly realizing who had orchestrated this trending topic. In the past, after her performances, Sally intentionally boosted her own trending topics, positioning
them ahead of Marion’s.
Marion had always preferred a low profile. Although she found Sally repugnant, she did not want her beloved career to be tainted by so much external noise. Her performances were mostly low–key, with only a couple of instances where she trended, and the rankings were not high enough to attract much
attention.
Take the wedding incident from last month, for example. Despite the widespread commotion and online speculation and insults directed at her, Marion never considered retaliating. It was not because she was easy to bully, but rather she lacked Sally’s thick–skinned nature, always inclined to magnify private matters in the public eye.
On the phone, Cassie was ranting for several minutes before pausing to check on Marion. “Are you still there?”
“I’m here,” Marion replied, laughing a bit. “I’m just checking my Moments app.
She and Jameson had been childhood friends for twelve years, and their social circles overlapped with many common friends. Moreover, both were part of the same social circle, which further increased
their shared connections.
