Chapter 54
Of course, Diana also played a part in fanning the flames. She kept backing down in the past because she still loved Vincent deeply and didn’t want to stray away from him because of Gabriella. So, she did her best to save this failed marriage and prevent it from going downhill.
When faced with Gabriella’s behavior, the old Diana had nothing but frustration and was endlessly tolerant, even swallowing her pride. But now, it was different.
Diana was one of Citrus Bless‘ shareholders, so her position was to side with the company. Naturally, her top priority was to look out for the talents within the company.
As a businesswoman, the most important thing she should do now was to maximize profits from this situation.
Because Gabriella kept appearing on the trending list with her new movie, Sherry, who was associated with her, also returned to the public eye. So, Diana felt that her move had paid off.
But no one expected that in the age of the internet, once something had too much exposure and was discussed too widely, it could quickly spiral out of control.
The scandal that Vincent had taken so much money to bury not long ago resurfaced, and immediately, the public was busy looking into the old drama again.
When Gabriella woke up from a short rest, she found out everything had gone off the rails.
The internet had been criticizing her terrible acting that ruined the movie a day ago, but everything changed after just one day. Now, the whole internet was accusing her of being shameless–a mistress who had seduced a married man.
There were even photos of her freely coming and leaving the Hendrix villa as evidence.
Some paparazzi also caught Diana, the real Mrs. Hendrix, busy with her work at Citrus Bless and had not been home these few days. With an adult man and woman alone in a house for a few days, it wasn’t shocking to imagine something out of line happening.
“I think the person behind Gabriella must be Mr. Hendrix. There’s no smoke without fire. These two had several scandals coming out this year, right?” “Yeah, I also remember that news. When the first scandal emerged, Mrs. Hendrix stood up to clear the misunderstanding.
“Now that I think about it, maybe she did it to prevent shame from falling onto the Hendrix family. So, to save Hendrix Corporation’s reputation, she had to stand up and give an explanation.”
“The more you think about it, the weirder it gets. Gabriella doesn’t seem to be related to the Hendrix family, so why would she live in their villa? How is this different from living together?”
“I feel so sorry for Mrs. Hendrix. It looks like marrying into high society isn’t as “Hey, cut it out. I’m drowning here.”

Before this, Gabriella liked being on the trending list as it proved that she had a lot of buzz and was popular. But right now, it had become something that she wanted to avoid.
Looking at the criticisms online, Gabriella couldn’t help but lash out in the villa. The servants there got caught in the crossfire, too, as they were scolded
for no reason.
On the other hand, Vincent spent another fortune trying to save Gabriella’s image, hiring an army of paid commenters to blindly hype her new movie while simultaneously denying those scandals.
Still, after two days, news leaked by the paparazzi kept piling up with more solid evidence, and there was still no sign of the buzz dying down. The more Vincent tried to shut the public up, the more fired up they got
