When Love Breaks (Josephine)

Mason's voice suddenly came through the phone. "Ms. Dunn, check the comments-people are speaking up for you!"

Josephine clicked on the comment section... and Mason was right.

"Looks like Mrs. Forbes isn't a gold digger after all. She probably sold the gifts out of anger."

"Has anyone noticed something interesting? Mrs. Forbes sold all the gifts a month ago-before the divorce. That means she must have found out about Mr. Forbes's affair back then!"

"He must've cheated-otherwise, why would she go that far?"

"Zayn cheated, yet Mrs. Forbes didn't say a word about it at the press conference. Instead, Zayn is the one smearing her name all over the place. Some men are truly heartless."

"Honestly, Mrs. Forbes has been pretty low-key. If she were really a gold digger, she wouldn't have stayed this quiet."

Exactly!

Reading the comments, Josephine finally felt a little relieved.

The truth was always clear to those willing to see it.

While she wasn't the one who donated the money, the facts were undeniable.

If she were truly a gold digger, would she have stayed quiet for so long, allowing Zayn to use her to build his "devoted husband" image for three years?

If she were only after his money, would she have spent so much of her own money to support him behind the scenes?

Suddenly, Mason's voice pulled her back to reality. "Still, Ms. Dunn, you should brace yourself. If you want to turn the tide in this media war, one trending topic won't be enough. I'll be honest-Zayn's hired a whole army of paid trolls."

"Trolls?" Josephine was stunned. "He paid people to attack me online?"

"Yes, I even found out which company he hired. I thought about hiring some trolls

to fight back, but they're asking for a whopping 1.2 million."

1.2 million?

Josephine let out a cold sneer.

So, Zayn was willing to spend that much just to slander her and manipulate public opinion?

After a brief pause, she gritted her teeth and said, "Forget about the trolls. I believe that the truth will prevail. He might be able to

suppress me online for now, bu net

once he stops paying them, the truth will come out. Besides, I still have a trump card."

As Mason had predicted, while the trending donation story had helped improve Josephine's image, it wasn't enough to overpower the relentless attacks from Zayn's hired trolls.

Not only were they flooding the comments on trending posts, but they were also spreading negative threads about her across major platforms.

Some claimed that the Dunn family was a ghost company and that Josephine was leeching off the Forbes family through marriage.

Others spread rumors that

Josephine hadn't gotten pregnant during their three-year marriage

because she was infertile-and that

despite this, Zayn had been "kind

enough" to stay by her side.

There were even detailed lists circulating online, highlighting everything Zayn had supposedly done for Josephine to portray him as a deeply devoted husband while insisting that she had contributed nothing for him in return.

And things only got worse.noveldrama

In just two days, nearly 70% of netizens were attacking Josephine while sympathizing with Zayn.

Of the remaining 30%, half chose to stay neutral, while a quarter bashed both sides, calling it "a dirty battle."

That left only the final quarter-those who stood up for Josephine.

However, whenever these well-meaning supporters voiced, "Josephine is innocent. She was the one who was cheated on," they were immediately met with replies like:

"Only a gold digger would defend another gold digger!"

Some even took things further, spamming:

"I'd gladly take a man like Zayn-even if he cheated on me every day!"
