My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 25: Reversal

When Gloria came out of the restaurant, she got a call from Edith.

"You come quickly, as I am in the red car across the road." Edith just said this and hung up.

When Gloria looked up, she saw a red car across the road. As she looked, she heard someone suddenly honk the horn of the car for twice.

Gloria looked around, walked quickly across the street, pulled open the car door near the passenger seat, and sat in.

As Edith started the car, she said to Gloria. "How's it going? Did it go well?"

Since Edith had a movie coming out recently, the movie was rather niche but it's a big seller, and she could be recognized everywhere she went, so she just waited outside for Gloria.

Gloria smiling, said. "Yes, it did."

Anne had been bullying Gloria for so many years that Anne did not pay any attention to Gloria. So Anne, of course, took it lightly, as she had no idea there would be a plot.

"However, our plans may change."

"What do you mean?"

"Anne wanted me to divorce Kenny, in order to make the people of the Clarke's angry at me, letting them turn all the blame on me, and then the Clarke's would ignore Anne, Kenny's real fiancée, so she'll be able to stay with Colin fair and square."

When Edith heard that, she smacked the steering wheel in anger. "I don't know if they have a bottom line!"

"There is no bottom line as long as it is in their own interest." Gloria knew Anne well.

She was originally going to look for the paparazzo tomorrow morning, asking him to send the video of her and Anne directly.

Now it seemed that she could go one step further in her plan.

…

The topic of " The ugly people always make more troubles " on Twitter finally dropped from the popular search, and then the topic of " Are you still planning to spend the New Year together if you don't get divorced " quickly sprang up.

"According to the gossip, Miss Anne's sister is under pressure to divorce Kenny..."

Just a vague message, but it led to a heated debate among a group of Internet users.

"Under pressure? I think it was her conscience that troubled her!"

"She's crazy about money, as she knows that young master of the Clarke's is disabled, but she still wants to marry him, being like a widow..."

"For the person who have just spoken, please don't talk nonsense."

This topic immediately became the most popular search, but it was quickly removed.

There's been a lot of discussion online about the removal of this popular search, but Gloria knew it must have been someone of Clarke's who asked for it to be removed.

After all, as for a famous family like the Clarke's, they couldn’t let the Clarke's heir be talked about online like this.

In the morning, on twitter, an Internet celebrity sent a video, with only one sentence: I will not speak for others easily anymore, as I felt a pain in my face because of shame.

This Internet celebrity happened to be the one who had openly mocked Gloria in a previous post on Twitter.

Someone opening the video curiously, the image of the video was clear enough to identify that one of the people in the video was Anne.

These were the key phrases in the video. "I have already apologized, so please don't make trouble for my mother", "You're as obedient as a dog" and "My mom asked me to marry Kenny." When these key phrases were linked together, the truth was revealed.

Those, who had cursed Gloria before, fell silent because of the abrupt reversal.

Since then, some people have posted an apology to Gloria on Twitter, while some have simply ignored the video, continuing to abuse Gloria, but these are just a few people.

From the wee hours to early morning, with just six or seven hours, Gloria gained an additional 50,000 followers on her twitter account.

…

After successfully threatening Gloria, Anne exulted, she went on a date with Colin, and she stayed at Colin's house all night.

As a result, she was unaware of the popular search on Twitter.

Early in the morning, she was woken by Loren's call.

Anne snuggled in Colin's arms, impatiently taking the phone. "Dad, what's up?"

"Look yourself on the Internet, seeing how much trouble you've caused. How dare you stay out all night? Come back at once!" Loren has never been so angry with her.

Anne suddenly had a bad feeling.

When she got off the phone, going online to watch the news, she found out that her conversation with Gloria at the restaurant had been photographed by the paparazzo.

Her face suddenly changed, she biting her lips fiercely. "Those bitches!"

“What’s the matter?” Colin kissed her on the cheek, asking her in a low voice.

Anne put away her cell phone, saying softly. "Dad called me. I have something to do at home and I need to go home first."

On the way back, the more she thought about it, the more she realized that Gloria must have something to do with that her conversation with Gloria had been photographed.

Maybe Gloria set her up on purpose, trying to trick her into saying that?

Anne looking gloomy, she called Gloria, but no one ever answered the phone.

…

Gloria, on the other hand, glanced at the word "sister" flashing on the screen of her cell phone, laughed, put the phone aside, stood up, and poured a glass of water.

When she came back, the phone was still ringing.

Anne must be going crazy right now, trying to tear her apart. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"What makes you so happy?"

Gloria raised her lips, smiling, but it all disappeared. She did not have to look back, but she also knew that the person who spoke suddenly was "Leon".

She put her phone on silent mode, put it in her pocket, held her water glass, and got up to walk upstairs.

Unfortunately, "Leon" was right in the middle of the stairs.

"Leon" seemed to be against her on purpose. When she went to the left, he went to the left, and when she went to the right, he went to the right...

Gloria's good mood was suddenly ruined by him. She glanced up the stairs, lowered her voice, and asked "Leon". "What do you really want to do?"

"Did you know that what happened to the Taylor's on the Internet has shocked the Clarke's?"

"Leon" looking at her with a fake smile, there was a serious look in his eyes, as if he were looking for something in her face.

"Oh." Gloria looking down, she responded to him without expression, then passed over him and continued up the stairs.

Kenny squinting a little, there was a subtle inquiry in his voice. "You don't look scared at all."

Gloria didn't want to talk to him, whereas she couldn't help but retort. "I have done nothing to be ashamed of, so what am I afraid of?"

Kenny didn't think that she'd say that and she was so calm.

Gloria said this, then turned and walked away, his eyes darkening as he looked after her. This woman was not pretending to be stupid now?

Back in the room, Gloria did not have the calmness with which she had when faced "Leon."

She knew that the Clarke's were trying to block some of the news, and she was a little worried because she didn't know what the Clarke's were thinking.

She taking out her cell phone, the screen showed several missed calls, all of which were from the people of Taylor's.

Gloria raising her lips sarcastically, dialed Tina's phone number.

Just as she expected, as soon as Tina answered the phone, Tina spoke directly to her. "Come back at once."

"I'll be right back..." Gloria lowered her voice, trying to make her voice sound nervous.

Of course she was going back to the Taylor's to get a good look at their flustered faces.

Gloria wanted to go back to see Anne, who went crazy as she had been reviled by others for her plot being revealed.

However, Gloria knew very well that people of the Taylor's weren’t going to take it so easily.
