Chapter 13: Are You Crazy?
Sonya sat bolt upright, grabbing her phone to correct the mistake, but Henry had already replied.
“Okay.”
Just one word.
Sonya stared at the message, stunned.
She’d been provoked by Julian. He acted as if his marriage was so significant, and she was so undesirable.
She’d even told him she was marrying someone else, but he just laughed at her.
Sonya slapped her forehead, figuring out how to salvage this.
Then Henry texted her again.

Sonya didn’t know what to say.
“It might not be such a great day,” she typed nervously.
“Why?”

Sonya took a deep breath.“Because my ex is getting married
is getting married on the same day.”
“Then let’s have a spectacular wedding and piss him off.”
“You’re not angry?”
“Why would I be angry?”
“That I’m using you?”
“There must be a reason for you to suddenly agree to marry me. If this is it, I understand and accept. And I’m confident you won’t regret it.”
Sonya held her phone close to her heart, as if she could feel Henry by doing that.
Halfway through her porridge, Sonya fell asleep.
Luke woke her up when they arrived.
“Thank you again,” she said.
Luke waved. “It’s my job. The more you need me, the more I earn.”
Sonya smiled. “Good night.”
“Good night.”
After Luke left, Sonya saw Jake drop Julian off.
After a long sleep, Julian got sober. He got out of the car alone, noticing Sonya.
“I thought you had more backbone. You left with

Jake pushed Julian toward his door. “Go open the door.”
Julian scoffed. She said she wanted a clean break, and now she lives across from me. She can’t let go of me. That’s right, she still loves me! After I marry Seraphina, I’ll make her my mistress, and she’ll say yes.”
“Stop dreaming. Sonya won’t agree,” Jake frowned.
“Just wait. I’ll get her.”
Julian reached his door, staring at the keypad. “It’s our anniversary. Which day was it?”
Jake rolled his eyes. “August 5th, 2016. It’s also Sonya’s birthday.”
“Oh, right.”
“Change

Julian scoffed.“Right.”
Seraphina’s birthday. You won’t forget that.”
The next day, Sonya went to work. Seraphina’s fans had gathered at the hospital entrance, holding banners demanding Sonya’s dismissal.
Sonya arrived at her office, but had no patients all morning.
“What’s with the banners?”
“They say

“She deserves to be fired. Who is she?”

“Go, go away!” Ashley pushed them aside, then entered and closed the door.“If I were you, a paid vacation.”
“Why? I didn’t do anything wrong, If I don’t come, those people online will eat me alive.”
Ashley sighed. “Those fans are crazy.”
Sitting opposite her, Ashley checked online, then sat upright.
“Sonya, you’re trending again.”
Sonya’s heart sank. “Am I being attacked again?”
“No. It’s the photo you posted yesterday. It’s spreading.”
“Didn’t you say Seraphina’s team suppressed it?”
“Yeah, it looked that way yesterday. But it’s trending again.”
Sonya checked her phone. The post was rising rapidly, exploding.
Unlike before, it wasn’t just Seraphina’s fans attacking her. There were fair comments and analyses.
“This photo clearly shows Doctor Ella and Mr. Jennings were a couple in college. But Seraphina blatant lie.” said she and Mr.
Mr. Jennings started dating in college. That’s “Doctor Ella said she dated Mr. Jennings for eight years. What role did Seraphina play in their relationship?”
“Seraphina’s fans say the photo’s photoshopped. Prove it Netizens have sharp eyes.”

Ashley was excited, typing rapidly: I’m friends with Doctor Ella. The million–dollar check she book was owed to her by Mr. Jennings. Seraphina called it compensation. After the scandal broke. instead of clarifying things, she let her fans attack Sonya so she could cover up her own mess. Ashley posted a photo of the fans outside the hospital: Seraphina’s fans are bullying an innocent woman. Seraphina and her team should deal with this and clear Doctor Ella’s name. Ashley’s previous comments had been drowned out, but this time, many people liked her comment, boosting it to the top.
“Sonya, did you use the power of money?” Ashley asked.
Sonya shook her head.“Of course not.”
“Look! More than ten KOLs are posting your photo. This is uncontrollable. Seraphina’s team is powerful, but it looks like we have a better player on our side.”
“What do you mean?”
“Someone’s secretly helping you.”
“Didn’t you say it might be Seraphina’s rivals?”
Ashley shook her head.“Her rivals can’t be such powerful.”

Several people were there, anxiously dealing with something.
They all looked at Sonya.
Seraphina’s eyes reddened.“Sonya, we’re friends, right? Why are you doing this to me? Why are you trying to ruin me?”
Sonya laughed.“What did I do? I just posted one photo.”
“Just a photo? You didn’t do anything behind the scenes?”
“First, you’re the one who put the blame on me. Second, one photo is more than enough. Third, I’m just nobody; I can’t manipulate things.”
“I need you to tell everyone the photo is fake, or that you’ve always been the third wheel in my relationship with Julian,” Seraphina said sternly.
Sonya was speechless.“Are you crazy?”
