Clarissa was scrolling through the internet when she realized that Shermaine made a Twitter post.
“Love is hard. How should I tell these people that no matter how great a man is, it makes no difference as he is taken.”
Her post created waves within minutes.
Previously, Shermaine had announced that her wedding date was around the corner. Oddly, no news from her followed.
The netizens were speculating that she was referring to her boyfriend, a socialite who was a good match for her.
Shermaine had stayed silent for a long time. Then, she suddenly posted that line on Twitter. It did not take a genius to put two together that she had been cheated on.
Immediately, her Twitter account became the top trending search.
The Queen Lost the Battle to Her Boyfriend’s Mistress…
After seeing the news, Clarissa felt perplexed.
For all she knows, Shermaine’s post may be directed to Sienna instead of her. Even so, Clarissa was still troubled by it.
Matthew was clearly never Shermaine’s boyfriend. She was the one who made it up and released it to the public. However, it worked because whenever people mentioned Shermaine, they would assume that Matthew was her boyfriend. Although she did not explicitly state that he was her boyfriend, the clues she left pointed towards him. Therefore, everyone was misled.
The scheme she cooked up did not necessarily disgust Sienna, but it did irk Clarissa.
Of course, she was upset. Despite so, she could not refute Shermaine’s post on Twitter directly. Therefore, she sent it to Matthew.
Within seconds, Matthew video called her.
The moment Clarissa answered the call, she pouted. Looking at her puffed cheeks, Matthew smiled in amusement.
“Clare, I will warn Shermaine not to continue spreading rumors about me,” he assured.
To his surprise, Clarissa frowned, “Who allowed you to contact her?”
“Alright, I won’t contact her. I will get someone to take down her post instead,” Matthew chuckled.
“Don’t be silly. Do you have anything to do with that post?”
The Twitter post did not specifically mention Matthew’s name, so he would have nothing to gain even if it got taken down.
Matthew pondered for a moment before he declared, “Okay, I know what to do.”
“What is it?” Clarissa asked curiously.
Grinning, the man confidently stated, “It will definitely make you happy.”
Following that, Matthew ended the call. Clarissa was still sullen, and she spent half the day dragging her feet up and down the stairs. She also strolled through the yard for a long time before she turned her phone on again.
She finally felt somewhat better after making several online purchases.
Without looking through Twitter again, Clarissa managed to calm herself down.
Unfortunately, her phone started to buzz with messages. It was from the group chat with Jeremy and the rest, and they were mentioning her repeatedly.
“Matt the mighty!”
“All hail Matt!”
“That’s a man!”
“Please stay in line for the greatest Matt!”
After she scrolled through the pile of useless messages, she finally found the main point.
“Clarissa, Matt created a Twitter account. His first post was a slap in her face. You should take a look at it now! He definitely posted it for you.”
Immediately, Clarissa opened her Twitter. She did not have to search Matthew’s Twitter account as the news made it to the hot search list.
“The Queen Is Smacked Right back In The Face.”
After Clarissa clicked on the headline, she found Matthew’s Twitter account.
I would like to declare that I have never entered into an intimate relationship with anyone in showbiz. Therefore, I never had a girlfriend nor a fiancée from the industry. As our parents knew each other, we occasionally met, but we were never more than friends. Regarding the unfounded rumours earlier, please stop spreading them. If there are any more false news regarding it in the future, I will get my lawyer to deal with it.
It was a simple post, and he did not mention any names either. However, Matthew’s post came after Shermaine’s.
This was definitely the biggest diss of the year.
Twitter was buzzing with netizens’ comments.
Despite Matthew’s clarification, not everyone took his side. Many netizens did not have a good impression of people like Matthew. Therefore, they assumed he only posted the clarification to cut his ties with Shermaine because he was guilty of having a mistress. Since Shermaine always upheld a good image, she had many supporters.
In this situation, more people were speaking out for Shermaine while criticizing Matthew.
Regardless, some people managed to analyze the situation rationally. Matthew never admitted to dating Shermaine, while the latter had been tooting her own horn and bringing the president of Tyson Corporation into the picture.
There were also a small group of people who thought both parties were the problem instead. They questioned why he chose to clarify the situation at this particular time when he could have done so earlier or even later. It made them suspect that Matthew actually have a new girlfriend.
