The Second Life of a Discarded Heiress novel Chapter 211

“I can’t stop crying. My heart aches for Clarence and Seraphina.”

“Seraphina is so magnanimous—even after all this, she still wishes Innocent huge success. Looking at it now, Obsidian is just the worst.”

“Clarence is such a good guy, and so is Seraphina. It’s Obsidian who’s gone too far and bullied them.”

“I’ll always support Clarence and Seraphina. Nothing could make me watch Innocent now.”

...

The moment Clarence and Seraphina posted on Twitter, a fresh wave of users piled on, slamming Obsidian.

“What a bunch of idiots,” Amelia muttered, fuming as she scrolled through the latest updates. She spent the whole day arguing back and forth online, defending Citrine against those trashing her.

Citrine herself, though, stayed calm. She waited patiently as the public outrage crescendoed. Then, at just the right moment, she quietly uploaded four short videos from her backup account—each one the same: Clarence and Seraphina stumbling through their lines with truly awful acting.

Back when she’d visited the Eclipse Studios set, Citrine had thought ahead and secretly filmed several takes of Clarence and Seraphina’s scenes together. She’d never expected the footage would actually come in handy.

@Obsidian: [video] I value my eyes too much to keep watching this, so here you go.

Her post shot straight to the top of the trending charts.

People who’d spent days criticizing Obsidian suddenly rushed to delete their earlier comments about Citrine. Now, the tide had turned—Clarence and Seraphina were in the crosshairs.

“Are these guys in elementary school? My kid could do better. They can’t even memorize a single line. Forget winning an Oscar—go get a real job.”

“I always suspected Clarence’s acting was garbage, but I never dared say it because his fans attack anyone who criticizes him like rabid dogs.”

“Is Seraphina a zombie? She delivers every line like her face is frozen. Did she get Botox or something?”
