Chapter 73 She Had to Take the Initiative
Yesterday had been exhausting, and Marion woke up a little later that day. She responded to Cassie with a ‘ridiculous‘ emoji and then went to freshen up.
Richard had an early meeting that day and had already gone to the office.
While having breakfast, Marion scrolled through Twitter. She was not checking out the scandal involving Sally and Jameson, the toxic couple. Instead, she focused on the comments section under Kirk’s post.
Fortunately, the post that Kirk wrote yesterday cleared up any
misunderstandings, and the comments section was calm. Thanks to his post, Marion gained over two hundred thousand new followers.
Marion’s Twitter was typically low–key, rarely featuring personal updates. She was not even verified, despite being registered for seven years and having only eight posts. Three of the posts were from a couple of days ago when she engaged in an online dispute with Sally.
Her followers‘ comments on her profile were unanimous in saying, “You’re too low–key, Marion!” They urged her to be more active.
Feeling a small sense of joy, Marion quickly exited Twitter. Shortly after leaving, she received a message from her assistant, Miley Spears on WhatsApp. [Marion, your Twitter gained a lot of followers. Do you want me to get you verified?]
Marion promptly declined. [No need, no need!]
Marion was not one to seek attention like Sally, who went from novel writing to becoming an internet–famous author. This time, Marion had to endure the backlash.
Miley understood her well and did not press her. [Alright, by the way, can you attend the charity performance on the 20th?]
Marion thought for a moment. [I should be able to attend it.]
Anyway, she was just going to play the piano at the beginning, and as it was a seated performance there were no foreseeable difficulties.
[OK! I’ll tell them you’ll continue to participate! Take a break!]
After ending the conversation, Marion went to the music room, planning to practice for a couple of hours before dinner. Compared to her relaxed state, Sally was having a tough day.
After the news of Sally and Jameson booking a hotel room surfaced online, Sally

was solidified as the ‘interloper‘, The comments on her Twitter had surpassed thirty thousand, and if she had not disabled the comments, it would probably have reached a hundred thousand.
However, that was not the main issue. The crucial point was that she had leveraged her status as an ‘internet–famous author‘ and had signed some endorsements.
With her image in ruins, those companies had sent her termination letters. Because she was at fault, in addition to terminating the contracts, the companies. reasonably demanded three times the original endorsement fee as liquidated damages. The total amount she had to compensate had reached tens of millions of dollars.
Moreover, she had a novel being adapted into a film and television series. However, with her negative image as the original author, the web series was bound to be a failure before it even started. The production company had already demanded compensation exceeding eight million dollars.
