Chapter 129: Married to a Very Powerful Man

Olive opened her social media account. Gwen had posted a picture of Pamela in a hospital bed; Pamela lay in a hospital gown, her hands attached to an IV drip, still in a coma. The internet buzzed again; Pamela and Olive's drama was a captivating series, keeping the entire internet intrigued.

Pamela's fans commented: "Pamela was trembling with fear from the internet ridicule." "Pamela, please take care of yourself; we're always here for you!" "I'm not a fan of Pamela, but the humiliation she's endured is excessive."

Olive's fans retorted: "Olive can never be wrong. She single-handedly defeated the Harts, and now she's taken on Pamela. Pass the crown; she's the real queen."

Pictures of Pamela kneeling before the Ivory Council went viral, along with screenshots of Olive's fans' threatening comments. "Oh, Olive actually forced Pamela to kneel in public!" "Mrs. Augustine is extremely powerful; no one should dare offend her." "How could Olive's fans be so vicious and threaten Pamela?"

Pamela's fans flooded the comments with fiery responses, even changing their profile pictures to images of Pamela kneeling before Olive. In no time, "Mrs. Augustine" became synonymous with malice and sarcasm.

Olive anticipated the backlash. When Pamela knelt, she knew it was a calculated move. Now, however, internet support overwhelmingly favored Pamela.

Olive's phone beeped, a message from North: "Olive, they're all envious and jealous. Don't mind them."

Olive replied, "Don't worry, North. Their words don't affect me."

North continued, "What's your next move? Your backstory—a talented medical girl from an orphanage—easily garnered public sympathy."

Olive understood. Compared to Pamela, her orphanage background made her story more relatable.

"Don't worry; Pamela likely has more tricks up her sleeve. Let's watch," Olive replied.

Immediately, Olive's phone rang—Elvis. The social media uproar hadn't escaped his notice.

"Hello, Mr. Augustine," Olive said sweetly, "Do you need something?"

Elvis's deep voice answered, "Need my help?"

Olive feigned anger. "Mr. Augustine, look at the trouble you've caused! They're attacking me because of you. Do nothing; don't make more enemies."

Elvis's voice softened, "Mrs. Augustine is amazing. In bed and out of it."

Olive blushed, thinking of their intimate moments. "Mr. Augustine, you're being inappropriate!"

He chuckled, "Then, if you need help, call me. I'll make those talking about you kneel and beg for mercy."

Olive felt a surge of happiness. She had married a very powerful man!

Pamela remained hospitalized for three months. Public opinion raged, but Olive remained unfazed, continuing her work. She refined the mandala flower toxin at the research institute, preparing for testing.

Pamela posted: "The rain has passed. I'm happy today. Professor Ruger arrived in Los Angeles." A picture showed her at the airport. The post garnered a million likes in minutes.

Comments flooded in: "The talented medical girl is back!" "Pamela, focus on your career!" "Olive, where will she hide her face? She's just a high school graduate, no match for Pamela!"

North messaged: "I wonder if Pamela will try for the 'Most Talented Medical Girl' award. Holy Nile Academy—Pamela's alma mater—is a medical powerhouse. Do you know Professor Ruger?"

A smile touched Olive's lips. Pamela was aiming for the award to overwhelm her.

Olive chuckled, replying, "No, I don't know him."

North panicked, "Oh my, Olive, you're in trouble!"

Olive added, "However, I'm an old acquaintance of Holy Nile's principal."

North exclaimed, "What?!"

Olive explained, "He offered me admission when I was fifteen, but I refused. I didn't want to move far from home."
