Chapter 266 The Whole Internet Urges a Breakup
Juniper was just about to reply when Ophelia's call came through.
"Hey, Juniper, Magnus already sent you a wedding dress, but there's still gossip about him dumping you? What's up with that? Did Magnus give you a hard time last night?" she asked.
Juniper was caught off guard and thought, 'Bullied? If what happened last night counts as bullying, then yeah, he really did a number on me. I'll never forget those rose-scented condoms.'
Ophelia, sounding pissed, said, "I saw that trending topic first thing this morning. I clicked on it and saw a picture of you crying after being 'bullied' by Magnus."
Juniper's heart skipped a beat. "How can such private photos be posted?"
Ophelia looked puzzled. "What? Private photos?"
"How did they get pictures of me and Magnus in bed? And post them on Facebook?" Juniper was fuming.
Ophelia was stunned for a moment before reacting. "What the hell."
Juniper, still trying to wrap her head around it, asked seriously, "Isn't this an invasion of privacy? Can we sue?"
Ophelia almost burst out laughing in her office. "Looks like the breakup rumor is bogus. Judging by last night's events, things were pretty heated between you two!"
Magnus actually made Juniper cry?
Juniper was super confused. "Dumped? What's going on?"
Ophelia couldn't stop laughing. "You should check the trending topics yourself. But Juniper, I used to think you were so innocent. Now it seems you're just like me!"
After Ophelia hung up, Juniper logged onto Facebook, where several trending topics about Magnus were displayed.
#SY Group President Magnus spotted at Urban Oasis Plaza last night, rumors of his death debunked!#
#SY stock price rebounds overnight!#
#Magnus breaks up with his first love!#
The first two trending topics weren't surprising. Before Magnus took her out on a date last night, news of him being alive might have already spread in the business circle.
But what was the third trending topic about?
Curious, she clicked on it. The title read: Business Tycoon Dumps Cheating First Love! First Love Regrets and Cries!
The photo was from last night when they came out of the cinema after watching a movie.
At that time, Juniper was still caught up in the movie's ending, her eyes red, and a reporter snapped a picture.
In the photo, Magnus's face was lowered, his emotions unclear, while Juniper looked up at him with tearful eyes, full of sadness, making it look like they had a fight.
And she, in the eyes of netizens, naturally became the one who got dumped.
What Ophelia said was actually this. She had completely misunderstood, and it was way off.
The comment section was full of harsh criticism.
[Mr. Blackwood finally came to his senses? This woman made him spend three years in prison, and now he finally dumped her?]
[I'm so jealous of Harper Beaumont. What kind of first love script did she get? She harmed him, and after all these years, the poor guy became a business tycoon but still can't forget her?]
[Why is she crying? What right does she have to cry? People who give false testimony have moral issues!]
[Exactly! A big company CEO being with someone like this, is he really bewitched by her? Harper Beaumont should stay away from Magnus! She doesn't deserve him!]
[Magnus is so handsome and rich, he deserves better. Harper Beaumont is not worthy! Mr. Blackwood and Mary are a perfect match!]
[At least Mary comes from a good family and is a celebrity. More importantly, she's sincere! Harper Beaumont only has a pretty face, her morals are really corrupt!]
[Support the breakup! Mr. Blackwood should get back with our Mary! Our Mary would never get her boyfriend sent to prison! Business tycoon vs. pop star! What a great setup!]
Juniper was staring at those nasty comments, lost in thought, when Ophelia sent another message: [These netizens are so nosy! Who Magnus is with is none of their business! Mary's irrational fans are really funny, trying to take advantage of the situation? Juniper, why don't you just post your wedding dress photos on Facebook? That'll piss them off!]
Juniper took a deep breath and replied: [My online reputation isn't good. If I post the wedding dress and tell everyone I'm back with Magnus, I'm afraid they'll take it out on Magnus and affect SY. SY's situation has just improved a bit, so let's forget it.]
Ophelia replied: [So you're just going to let Mary's fans bully you? I can tell most of these nasty comments are from Mary's fans! Who does she think she is, really believing she was once Magnus's fiancée? What reconciliation? Where did she get that idea? I'm so pissed off!]
Juniper held her phone, falling silent.
She wasn't completely indifferent to the online criticism, but she was unsure.
To be honest, she wasn't clear about Magnus's current thoughts. He sent her a wedding dress but didn't propose.
At least in the short term, Magnus didn't plan to marry her.
She could sense that.
Actually, Juniper was also very confused and couldn't help but ask Ophelia: [I have a friend who got back together with her ex-boyfriend, and they're at the age to get married, but her boyfriend doesn't seem to have any intention of marrying her. Is he still testing her?]
Ophelia replied: [Magnus made you cry and still doesn't want to marry you? What a jerk!]
Ophelia, agitated, sent a voice message directly, "What does he mean? He sent you a wedding dress but won't propose? Or is he planning a surprise?"
Juniper explained, "This wedding dress, strictly speaking, wasn't something he sent on his own initiative. Last night when we went out on a date, I saw it, and he thought that I liked it, so he bought it for me. If I had liked something else yesterday, he would have bought that too. So in his eyes, it is just a gift, nothing special."
Ophelia shouted, "Fuck! What a bigger jerk! He knows the wedding dress means something different to a girl but still bought it for you, then he claims it's just a gift! Are you really not getting married? That would make Mary satisfied! If you don't get married, I'll go mad!"
Juniper fell silent.
By the afternoon, Juniper's Facebook was flooded with abusive private messages.
[Bitch! Give Mr. Blackwood back to our Mary!]
[What right do you have to be with Mr. Blackwood? You even gave false testimony!]
[Please just die! That way Mr. Blackwood will remember you forever!]
[It's been seven years! Why are you still clinging to Magnus like a leech? Please let him go!]
Those private messages were unbearable, prompting Juniper turned off the private message feature.
Gradually, those people started cursing in her Facebook comment section.
Juniper usually didn't care much about others' judgment of her, but their words hit every sore spot she had.
Maybe she hadn't really gotten over it.
If she had truly made peace with herself, her heart wouldn't still skip a beat when she saw them accusing her of giving false testimony.
Was Magnus unwilling to marry her because he still cared about the false testimony she gave seven years ago?
She thought he had already forgiven her.
