Chapter 1098 Her Counterargument

Brent swiftly hung up the call after his threat. The click of the phone disconnecting felt like a slap to Phoebe’s pale face. She had never experienced such terror.

If she failed to clear up the chaos properly, her entire career would be destroyed. She had spent years of hard work to build her fame and reputation, and she refused to see them crumble away

Aside from Brent, the other admirers had contacted Phoebe for an explanation. In an instant, countless messages cluttered up in her inbox.

Only Danian remained hopeful of her. “The screenshots are fake, aren’t they? I’m sure it’s that old hag’s doing. She wants to see you fall from grace, but I trust you. You were never a gold digger. After all, you never accept my gifts,” he texted.

Realizing she needed an attester, Phoebe changed Darian’s nickname and sent him a screenshot. “I don’t know why those rumors have been spreading online. This is what my phone screen really looks like,” she texted with a crying emoji.

Darian was waiting for Phoebe’s reply in the cafeteria. Upon receiving the message, he swiftly rose from his seat and prepared to leave.

“Where are you going?” someone asked.

“I’m going to clear things up for Phoebe!” Darian replied. He then turned to address a group of girls at the

front table.

“Phoebe is your roommate, and now she’s been accused of being a mistress. How can you just sit there

and eat?” Darian chided.

The girls looked at him with a frown, feeling annoyed by his sudden reprimand.

“They’re not wrong though. We’re her roommates, after all. Maybe you should clear your head instead.”

one of them scoffed.

“You sure seem to like being called a simp,” another snickered.

Darian was displeased by their retorts and argued, “You’re all just jealous of Phoebe’s beauty and wealthy background. She’s already a popular influencer with millions of followers even before her graduation.

You? You’re just a bunch of normies.”

“Do you have a few screws loose?” the girls retorted.

Phoebe had been an embarrassment to them, and now Darian proved to be equally repulsive. The girls used to fawn over him in the dormitory, but it turned out that he was all looks and no substance.

Unfortunately, Darian didn’t share their sentiments. Determined to defend Phoebe, he returned to his room and swiftly posted Phoebe’s screenshot online.

“I’m the one known as Símp 1. I swear on my name that Phoebe Boyd is not a gold–digger and does not seek anything from anyone. I urge everyone to be rational in this farce. The photos are clearly edited.
