Second Chance: Marrying into Wealth Chapter 335
These people were really something else.
The news had just broken.
Quinlan's entire identity was laid bare.
Most of Idris's fans were women.
Naturally, they looked down on Quinlan.
Especially since her background, looks, and job were all so ordinary that they felt she wasn't worthy of Idris in any way.
Many of the comments were extremely sarcastic and harsh.
User 1: [Idris is just too naive to be fooled by a scheming woman like Quinlan. Otherwise, what does she have that makes her worthy of Idris?]
User 2: [They say pitiful people must have something hateful about them. With parents like hers, can she really say she's done nothing wrong? A woman who isn't grateful should break up with Idris immediately.]
User 3: [Idris, your taste has been ruined by this woman. Just look around; there are plenty of fans in our group who are prettier and better than her. If you like her, you might as well look at one of us.]
Some people were just fans, but some took it way too far.
The entertainment industry was full of truths and lies.
Without solid evidence, attacking an innocent girl without knowing the facts—what was the point of such fandom?
Even if Quinlan really was Idris's girlfriend, how did dating become one person's fault? Just because Idris was famous and good-looking, did that make him always right?
People were just too blind.
Besides, the news was fake. Every word they said could be a knife stabbing into innocent Quinlan.
The best way to suppress one piece of news was to replace it with another.
I didn't know if Quinlan would see the online abuse, but I hoped new news would come out soon to save her.
I couldn't help but worry about her.
What surprised and shocked me even more was that those who dug up Quinlan's identity also found out about my connection to her.
Quinlan had disabled comments on her Twitter account, so they couldn't vent there. Some even found my account.
Some of the comments were nasty.
Most of them were telling me to persuade Quinlan to leave Idris.
I saw one relatively calm and polite message and replied: [You don't need to worry. They're not a couple.]
I thought it was a rational fan.
But I was wrong.
As soon as they saw my reply, they immediately cursed: [Quinlan wants to cling to Idris, just like you did! Trash using your body to climb up, get lost!]
I clenched my fists in anger but also felt a sense of helplessness.
Probably because I couldn't slap them through the screen.
But I didn't want to waste time arguing with such foolish fans, so I chose to give up.
But another thing I worried about eventually happened.
Yosef and Yasmin found out about Quinlan and the big star Idris "dating" through the internet. To them, that meant a huge income.
They wouldn't pass up such a good opportunity.
They went straight to Idris's agency.
Yosef and Yasmin were shameless and didn't care about others' opinions.
Idris avoided them and had no intention of meeting them.
After all, Quinlan was just an innocent girl being used.
But since they couldn't see Idris, Yosef and Yasmin waited at Idris's door, telling everyone they were Idris's future in-laws.
If such rumors spread, even false ones could become true.
Idris was at the peak of his career. It was better to keep his girlfriend hidden from the public.
So, Idris's manager reached out to Yosef and Yasmin, even warning them.
Yosef was tough and not afraid of threats.
He even turned the tables, "I don't care. If he doesn't see his future father-in-law, I'll get angry. If I get angry and say something inappropriate, don't blame me."
The manager tried to placate him, "It's not that he doesn't want to see you. He's just too busy. Once an actor starts filming, they can't leave until it's done. It could be three to five months."
But Yosef demanded the address of Idris's current set.
He wanted to find Idris himself.
The manager refused to tell him.
Yosef's expression darkened, and he shouted to the people and cars passing by, "This is your star Idris. He won't take responsibility for dating my daughter. Does he want to abandon her? Everyone knows they're dating!"
To Yosef and Yasmin, Quinlan was just a commodity. They only wanted money through her and didn't care about her dignity.
Seeing Yosef tarnish Idris's reputation, more and more people gathered, pointing at the agency's entrance.
The situation was escalating. If entertainment reporters caught wind of it and reported it, Idris's career could be severely damaged.
The manager was anxious and quickly said, "Sir, it's a misunderstanding. Please stop shouting. Let's go upstairs and talk."
As he spoke, the manager signaled the security guards to approach Yosef and Yasmin to "invite" them upstairs.
But Yosef and Yasmin were experts at dodging.
Seeing the manager and security guards about to force them upstairs, Yosef dodged their hands and ran into the street, "What are you trying to do? Bully us country folks? You said Idris is filming, but now you want to take me upstairs and have the guards grab me. Are you planning something bad?"
Yasmin seized the opportunity to shout, "Everyone, judge for yourselves. Idris slept with my daughter and won't take responsibility. We're just parents seeking justice, and they're bullying us because we're from the countryside and have no power!"
These words were like a dagger to the heart.
If this got out and Idris's rivals found out, it could ruin him.
"Stop, it's not like that. It's a misunderstanding! Come upstairs with us. This isn't the place to talk. We'll call Idris right away, okay?" The manager wiped nonexistent sweat from his forehead.
Yosef frowned, seemingly considering the manager's words.
He then addressed the crowd, "Everyone, be witnesses. This man said we'd see Idris right away. We'll go upstairs and wait. If anything happens to us, you all have to stand up for us and protect us powerless folks."
"Okay, we'll be witnesses."
"Yes, I'm recording this."
Immediately, some people stepped forward, acting as "justice warriors."
The manager's eyes darkened when he heard someone was recording. He whispered instructions to his team and then led Yosef and Yasmin upstairs.
Sometimes, it took a villain to deal with a villain.
Idris probably never thought that trying to deal with someone he thought was easy to handle would end up causing him trouble.
With people like Yosef and Yasmin, once one was entangled with them, good luck getting out.
