You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 34

Who will like it?

When Clarissa hung up the call, her cheeks were already blushing. It would seem obvious to anyone who witnessed her shy look that her heart was fluttering at this moment.

She felt slightly nervous after returning to the hotel, with her heart racing rapidly. All she could think about was Matthew’s face and his charmingly charismatic voice…

Shit!

Even Clarissa could not help but giggle shyly.

Truthfully, she knew very well that it was simply too easy to fall in love with Matthew.

If he was serious about what he had said, it would be impossible for her to refuse.

The reason that she kept delaying it was that she had wanted to calm herself down. After all, she had yet to do something as rash as this, without having any consideration of the possible consequences.

If she were to calm down in a week’s duration, she would possibly have different feelings in regard to the matter.

However, she had a feeling that she would end up succumbing to Matthew’s advances. In other words, she had already admitted defeat but was just trying to act all melodramatic.

Her phone’s urgent ringing tone suddenly interrupted Clarissa’s shy thoughts.

When she saw that it was a call from Ellie, she felt embarrassed. Ellie’s furious voice came blaring the moment she answered the phone.

“Clare, Shermaine is a crazy woman. Stay away from her! Why didn’t you heed my advice?”

“What’s wrong?”

She did not expect Ellie to know about Shermaine’s deliberate acts from that morning.

“What’s wrong? You are on the trending searches right now, with everyone hurling insults at you. It’s all over social media that an ignorant screenwriter had dared to go through a scene with Shermaine, a top actress. Those insults are downright disgusting. Go and take a look at them… Never mind, don’t look at them. They’re all left by her fanatic fans. There’s nothing to see there.”

Although Ellie had informed Clarissa to steer away from the comments, she could not help herself from doing it.

While still on the call, she quickly turned on her laptop and immediately saw the trending searches.

A Screenwriter Goes Through A Scene With Shermaine.

A “Diva-like” Screenwriter.

Shermaine Remains Humble Amidst The Amateur Screenwriter’s Pretentious Act.

These were considered the more neutral headlines out in the mix. On the opposite spectrum, her social media account, with the username @clarissa.quigley, was already flooded with criticisms.

Of the one million followers she had, some of them were scolding her alongside Shermaine’s fans. Yet, there was also a portion of her loyal book fans trying their best to defend her. They thought that everything was a huge misunderstanding that featured a cordial discussion between an actress and a screenwriter.

However, these rational comments were soon overwhelmed by criticisms. Within a short span of time, a plethora of negative scandals about Clarissa was exposed.

Someone who claimed to be in the same editorial team as Clarissa said that her novels only got raving reviews because she bribed the editors. Her follower count, her likes, and other results were all due to her deliberate manipulation. The reason that she never showed up in public—not even to attend the annual meetings—was that she was an ugly and vicious old woman, who was afraid of losing followers if she was exposed to the public eye.

The whistleblower even claimed that Clarissa only managed to sell the film rights and secure investments after sleeping with the owner of the film company.

Another member of the crew revealed that Clarissa was an extremely arrogant person, while Shermaine had always been humble. It was shocking to see Clarissa thinking so highly of herself and insisting on going through the scenes with other actors. She even doubted the director’s opinion and bossed everyone in the studio around. If that was not shameless enough, she tried to seduce the main male lead, Ryler…

In conclusion, all sorts of insults and scandals were heaped onto Clarissa simultaneously.

Why hasn’t an ugly b*tch like you died yet?

This woman is disgusting. I hope that her entire family dies!

She just plagiarizes the shit out of everything. Not only that, but she’s also a sl*t who has slept with many men. A piece of crap like her is downright disgusting…

Reading these insults, Clarissa was so furious that she began to tremble in anger.

She had never borne the brunt of such aggressive attacks. In fact, there were even comments that were more vicious than those.

When she first became popular, she had encountered other authors trying to sway the readers by criticizing and insulting her. However, those were nothing compared to the insults that she was receiving now.

This was Clarissa’s first time being a victim of cyberbullying.

She gripped her phone tightly as if she was going to shatter it with her brute force. Driven by an impulse, she had the urge to read more of the comments, the more upset and furious she got. She wanted to see how evil humanity was and how vicious the keyboard warriors could be.

“Clare, Clare…”

Ellie was extremely worried. When Clarissa did not respond to her for a long while, she knew that something was amiss.

“Stop reading the comments. Those are all irrelevant people who have nothing better to do. Why should you care about their opinions?”

“I… I’m fine.”

Clarissa’s voice trembled as she finally turned her laptop off. The notification sounds on her phone rang incessantly, prompting her to glance at the messages. They were from her readers and the editorial team.
