Chapter 330

Chapter 330:

“I believe so. If not, she wouldn’t have taken such action. I genuinely feel bad for her. Did Maxine do anything wrong? If she wasn’t so infuriating, nobody would react this way.”

“Indeed, poor girl. It seems the nicer you are, the more you get picked on.”

“Are you kidding me? Do you think it’s trivial to destroy clothing worth millions? Even if Maxine did something bad, this response was too harsh. Tatiana’s assistant definitely aimed to ruin Maxine!”

“Tatiana has some really die-hard fans. They seem to turn a blind eye, constantly justifying her missteps.”

“Cutting an expensive dress and pointing fingers at someone else… I can’t understand how anyone might still see her as innocent.”

Despite Tatiana’s fans’ defenses, it was clear to most onlookers what the real situation was. The fashion show was broadcast live, revealing the assistant’s spiteful demeanor on camera for all to see. She was anything but innocent!

The comments section turned into a war zone of clashing opinions. Watching the turmoil unfold, Madisyn thought that Tatiana was truly cunning. While shifting the blame to her assistant, she also encouraged her sister to slander Maxine.

Elsewhere, across the city, Tatiana was in a terrible mood.

Her assistant murmured anxiously, “Tatiana, we’re still a million dollars short.”

Tatiana was responsible for the cost of the attire plus an extra three million for breach of contract. The total came to eight million!

Although she had been a celebrity for many years, Tatiana had blown most of her fortune on extravagant jewelry and attire, hardly saving anything. She found herself with no other option but to seek financial help from Corbett.

Luckily, Corbett transferred the necessary funds to her. Tatiana swiftly transferred the money to her assistant. “Transfer the money to the manager,” she ordered.

The assistant nodded and hurried off, aware of Tatiana’s sour mood.

Tatiana was seething. How had such a hopeful situation spiraled into such a mess? She was baffled by how Maxine had managed to team up with Sierra!

In reality, Tatiana didn’t want her assistant to confess to any wrongdoing since there were no cameras in the dressing room, but the majority seemed convinced of her assistant’s guilt. With Sierra’s supporters pushing aggressively, they felt compelled to accept responsibility. To deny it would only worsen their public image.

Tatiana browsed through the comments on her assistant’s Twitter page and sent out an order, saying, “Hire a hundred thousand internet trolls.”

She scoffed. She was determined to make things difficult for Maxine. A sinister look filled Tatiana’s eyes.

Before long, the narrative online started changing as trolls flooded the comment sections.

The assistant shared a screenshot of the completed transaction at that time.

“The payment is complete. Thank you so much, Tatiana. Without your help, I couldn’t have managed this. I admit my mistake and will work hard to repay the money in the future. I hope you’ll be happy every day, Tatiana!” she posted.

Others were astounded by the amount.

“Oh my God! I could never earn that much in my whole life!”

“Poor girl, Tatiana is truly generous. Who else would offer such a hefty loan without a second thought? It’s a true testament to Tatiana’s kindness.”

“Yeah, Tatiana has always been compassionate. Now I’m even more certain that Maxine did something to irritate Tatiana’s assistant so much that she decided to damage that dress.”

“Maxine is terrible! She avoided all responsibility for her actions, leaving Tatiana’s assistant to bear the consequences for life!”

“Are you all delusional? I’m so confused. Shouldn’t the assistant be accountable for the damages she caused? Why is everyone treating her like she’s the victim?”

“Tatiana’s supporters must be brainless. I’m certain Tatiana was involved somehow. Why else would she hand out so much money?”

Any critical comments on Tatiana were swiftly drowned out by her fans’ comments. As paid posts multiplied, the public began to feel more sympathy for the assistant, and her followers surged from a hundred thousand to nearly three hundred thousand!

At last, Tatiana began to feel some relief.

Meanwhile, Maxine got a call from Madisyn. “Miss Johns, Tatiana hired a lot of internet trolls.”

“Understood. I’ll get the PR team on it. Don’t worry,” Madisyn comforted her. “You have work in the morning. Don’t stay up too late. Try to get some rest.”

Maxine felt deeply thankful, her eyes welling up with tears. “The PR team may not know as much as I do. I’ll compile everything I know about Tatiana’s actions and send it over.”

“Thank you,” Madisyn responded.

“It’s really no problem. By the way, Miss Johns, are you acquainted with Sierra?” Maxine inquired, clearly intrigued.

Madisyn paused for a moment, then said yes. She was familiar with Sierra because she was Sierra.

“Miss Johns, you’re incredible!” Maxine said excitedly. “You’re the most influential and low-key person I’ve ever met!”

Madisyn offered a smile. “Don’t praise me too much; I need to get some sleep.”

“Thank you very much, Miss Johns. I’d like to give you a gift. Is there anything you’d like?” Maxine inquired. Her earnestness was evident. Her sincere appreciation was a key reason Madisyn had decided to assist her from the start.

While Madisyn didn’t really desire anything, she valued the thought. After thinking it over, she replied, “It’s your choice. Honestly, I don’t really need anything.”

“Alright, I’ll find something special,” Maxine replied.

Just then, Madisyn’s phone beeped with a new message. It was from Andrew.
