Chapter 1057
Skylerâs phone was on speaker, so naturally, Zavier could hear Comeliaâs words. Upon hearing the question, Skyler instinctively glanced at him
Zavier, taking the phone with a smile, said, âAbsolutely, we must meel. Drag Marc along and we can have a double date.
Skyler said to Comelia, âAlright, itâs settled thenâ
âOkay.â Comelia bit her lip, answering with difficulty. The other side had already hung up.
She turned to Marcus and mumbled, âDo you think Skyler knows that Zavier teamed up with Brennen and the others to mess with you, so thatâs why she went back
to him?â
Marcus lifted his hand, gently ruffling Comeliaâs hair, âNo matter why Skyler ended up with Zavier again, itâs none of our businessâ
Comelia said, âSkyler is my friend. I canât forget how terrible it was when she had a miscarriage. Iâm worried she wonât value her own life again.â
Marcus understood Comeliaâs desire to help her friend, but he didnât want her to continue this way, âComelia, you know if you help Skyler, youâre gonna get some
flak, right?â
Comelia was puzzled, âWhat would they criticize me for? Who are they? I canât just abandon my friend because some people might judge me.â
She didnât understand what the world had come to. Being kind was supposed to be a virtue, but now even being good to her friends could get her criticized. But no matter what others said about her, she still held onto her kindness and treated every important friend well.
Marcus said, âNot everyone in this world is rational. Some are selfârighteous. These people believe that a marnage must be maintained, no matter how miserable the woman is postâmarnage. They think that even if a woman is suffering after marriage, she should never divorce. Friends should only encourage reconciliation, not divorce, and certainly not help the woman escape the situation.â
Cornelia sighed, âYouâre right, there are still many people with such mentality. But le them criticize. I canât hear them anyway. I wonât abandon my friend because of
their doubts.â
Before he even tried to persuade her, Marcus knew he couldnât change Comelia, âSure, only you can decide if you want to help her. No one else can make that decision for you. I just want to warn you, those people are scary. They havenât seen the world, but they think theyâre always right.â
âI know, donât worry. Those insignificant people canât hurt me To Cornelia, these people knew nothing yet always went around badmouthing others to vent their
dissatisfaction
Just last night, Hannah was venting to her about a similar issue. She had a TV show that was very popular, but some netizen criticized it as crappy
It was normal for some to like and some to dislike a show. But this netizen kept posting negative comments, dozens or even hundreds of them, criticizing her show as illogical. But this critic was just posting willyânilly, without even watching the show seriously. The comments were all based on their subjective assumptions
They even attacked the two protagonists and claimed Hannah was nuts.
Hannah retorted, wasnât the critic the one with the mental problem? If they didnât like the show, they could just stop watching. But they kept posting abusive comments every day. Wasnât that a sign of mental problems?
Cornelia advised her, âHannah, you need to chill out. Internet critics donât think like normal people Maybe that critic is the one with a mental problem, receiving treatment in a hospital.â
Hearing Corneliaâs words, Hannah cheered up, âYeah, why should I argue with a critic whoâs nuts?â
âExactly, donât bother with those boring people.â To Cornelia, those internet critics were as annoying as rats in the sewer. They showcased their subjective assumptions in a full display, both stupid and nasty!
