Chapter 62
When Reece’s post was sent on Twitter, the fans below made a fuss. Previously, they had convinced themselves that Reece and Phoebe were not a couple; it was a publicity stunt. Now, he admitted it on Twitter himself. Many of his fans who hoped to date or marry him started crying. They couldn’t bear to scold Reece, so they found Phoebe’s Twitter account and scolded her.
“Reece Admitting His Relationship” quickly became a trending topic. Phoebe saw the trending topic and the scoldings in the comments section. She logged into her Twitter account and sent a message:
Phoebe Jenkins: [We’ve broken up and are no longer friends. That’s all.]
At the same time, she uploaded the recording of her conversation with Reece that day. She was the one who suggested the breakup, but it wasn’t her fault. Reece and the others wanted to protect Sienna, but she had no scruples. The reason why she recorded it was to retaliate. She also wanted to let the fans see what their “husband” was like and which woman he cared about more.
Why should I take the blame for Sienna and let Reece’s fans and some people who think I’m not good enough for Reece scold me? Whoever has to bear it will bear it, Phoebe thought. Moreover, posting it on Twitter meant she had completely cut ties with Reece. This was also what she had been waiting for. She had to thank them for personally handing this saber to her.
Many people were still scolding Phoebe when they saw her update on Twitter. They were stunned when they saw it. They had already broken up and cut ties. Is this for real? Seeing that there was another audio, Reece’s fans, Phoebe’s fans, and passersby all clicked on it to listen. Not just them; even the other three people in the car couldn’t help but plug in their earpieces to listen to the audio. After hearing this, many people only wanted to curse.
“Phoebe’s Breakup” and “Phoebe and Reece’s Breakup Recording” quickly became trending topics. The comments under the trending topics kept increasing:
[Oh my god, consecutive shocking news.] [I didn’t expect Reece to be such a person. I used to like him a lot, but now I think he’s such a scumbag.] [The person he likes is Sienna.] [Sienna is even his first crush!] [Is he using Phoebe as a shield?] [No wonder he was so protective of Sienna during the live broadcast of the variety show. It turns out that it was because of this relationship.] [I heard from the recording that Reece even wanted Phoebe to give up her spot in the variety show to Sienna?] [It was true Jamar and Sienna were not on the list confirmed by the variety show.]
At this moment, Maddox’s team immediately started to send positive comments about Phoebe:
[I happen to know about this. Sienna wanted to participate, but her status and popularity were not up to par.] [So Jamar took the initiative to talk to the director and said he could go on the variety show with a low salary, provided that he brought Sienna along.] [That’s why the two of them became special permanent guests.] [Actually, it was Sienna who wanted Phoebe to give up the spot at the beginning, but Phoebe refused, so it was Jamar who brought her up.] [Sienna is amazing. Not only did she make Phoebe’s biological brother fall out with his biological sister because of her, the adopted daughter, but she even became the first crush of Phoebe’s boyfriend.] [I’m impressed. Sienna is the real master of manipulating men.] [On one hand, you’re dating your childhood sweetheart, Phoebe. On the other hand, you’re protecting and helping your first crush. Reece, good for you.] [In the recording, Reece said, “Take back this sentence. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear it.” He must have acted too much and forgot who he was.] [I want to say that Phoebe did a great job.] [That’s right. She should break up with such a scumbag decisively.] [From Reece’s words, he doesn’t want to break up with Phoebe.] [Of course, he doesn’t want to. Otherwise, why would he post something like that on Twitter! He said they were dating but didn’t say they had broken up.] [ts he trying to force Phoebe to get back together with him!] [It’s a pity that he misjudged Phoebe’s temper. She doesn’t want anything to do with him after breaking up.] [Didn’t Recce’s fans say that Phoebe wouldn’t let go of Reece?] [From the looks of it now, Reece is the one who can’t bear to let go.] [Reece’s actions also disgust me.]
Maddox’s team continued to lead public opinion.
There’s another piece of news. The relationship between Reece and Phoebe was suddenly exposed because Reece wanted to help Sienna shift the attention from the news of her being an adoptive daughter. He cooperated with Sienna’s agent and did this. He sent that on Twitter to help Sienna and used Phoebe as a shield.
[Haven’t you guys noticed? After the relationship got exposed, no one scolded Jamar and Sienna anymore. They all scolded Phoebe badly.]
The netizens also noticed this when they saw those comments. They thought, “Now that we think about it, Phoebe had taken Sienna’s place and was scolded badly by Reece’s fans and others. Reece is too unkind. No matter what, Phoebe is still his childhood sweetheart.”
[It’s too much for Reece to stab Phoebe in the back.] [Fuck, I can’t believe there’s such news inside. It disgusts me.] [Phoebe is already miserable enough to have a biological brother like Jamar. I didn’t expect her to have a boyfriend like Reece.] [Previous poster, I need to correct you. It’s her ex-boyfriend.] [It’s like what the recording said. Reece disgusts me too.] [Phoebe is so pitiful. I suddenly feel so sorry for her.] [Although she’s pitiful, I must say that Phoebe did the right thing when she directly exposed the recording and officially announced they had broken up today. I’m glad to see that.] [That’s right, well done.] [II only had a good impression of Phoebe after watching the variety show But now, because of the breakup, I want to become a fan. I like such a decisive young lady.] [Oh, Phoebe is so cool. That’s the attitude I want.] [Phoebe is so amazing. She deserves some peace. Reece, Jamar, and Sienna, please don’t disturb her.] [II knew Phoebe wouldn’t let us down. Good job.] [I love Phoebe’s straightforward and tough temper too much.]
The situation online suddenly changed. Due to Phoebe’s post on Twitter and the audio she exposed, coupled with the reviews from Maddox’s team, apart from Reece’s fans and Sienna’s fans, most people began to turn around and scold Reece and Sienna. Many of Reece’s fans and Sienna’s fans had sound values. They could not accept this fact and left. Reece’s fans who regarded him as their boyfriend or husband were about to go crazy. Compared to Phoebe, who used to be in a relationship with Reece, they hated Sienna, who was said to be Reece’s first crush, more. They had all watched the live broadcast variety show and felt Sienna was worse than Phoebe. Moreover, they didn’t know how to scold Phoebe anymore. They had scolded her for not letting go of Reece and using him, but she had proposed to break up before she went on the variety show. They had scolded her for not knowing what was good for her, but now, they knew there was a reason for her to do so. No matter what, they couldn’t tell her she should bear with it because their idol had a crush he wanted to protect. That was way too unreasonable. Therefore, they thought it was all Sienna’s fault. Otherwise, Phoebe wouldn’t have broken up with Reece on her own accord and exposed the record to counterattack. They couldn’t find anything to vent and couldn’t bear to scold Reece like others. Hence, Reece’s fans found Sienna’s Twitter account to curse her. Their words were much worse and more vicious than when they scolded Phoebe.
Maddox saw the reversal online and asked Phoebe, “Is this enough?” Phoebe said meaningfully, “This is just an appetizer.” Maddox smiled. “I don’t think it’s enough either.” He had created a new group chat with his agent and three heads of the public relations team. He added Phoebe as a friend and invited her to the group.
