Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 401

Katherine wasn't bothered by how viral the news had become. In fact, she even tweeted: Don't envy me. You shouldn't even be jealous. Hahahaha!

With that, her Twitter blew up instantly, and many netizens began to express their “bitterness”.

Of course, there would always be haters, and some hostile comments began to pop up amid all the compliments Sophia and Katherine were receiving.

One claimed to be part of the film crew, saying that Katherine had invested in the series and brought Sophia in as a special guest, so the latter had received all the answers to the game show beforehand.

In other words, it was alleged that Katherine's naivety was nothing but an act, whereas Sophia looked like a brainiac simply because she already had all the answers prior to filming.

Many netizens began to bash the person who had written this post.

Sophia had appeared on the news for being the top scorer in her university entrance exam. Moreover, all the awards she had won from past competitions could be easily found on the internet.

It wasn't unusual to be skeptical of other aspects of this woman, but doubting her intellect was simply unacceptable.

Netizen A: Wow! You really are bitter, huh? I have nothing to say if you think her beauty doesn't meet your standards, but to think you're doubting the intelligence of Jadeborough University's top scorer? I'm starting to think you're actually stupid.

Netizen B: If I remember correctly, Ms. Quinn has always been known for her cool nature. She once lost a ton of fans after using her alternate account to defend Ms. Yarrow from trolls, and now you're telling me she's acting dumb and innocent on purpose? I think you should stop trying to look smart.

Netizen C: Honestly, the questions weren't even difficult. They were mostly just on classical poetry. Ms. Yarrow is someone who can easily get a perfect score in advanced math, so why wouldn't she be able to answer the game show's questions, especially when there were so many hints given?

Netizen D: Congratulations on embarrassing yourself.

Most netizens were on Sophia's side. They weren't that dumb.

Sophia had everything she wanted—money, talents, looks, and intelligence. Everyone could tell that she had only participated in the game show for Katherine's sake.

Yet, to think that someone was now accusing her of having obtained the answers in advance. This had to be the joke of the year.

Katherine was livid to see the post, and she used her main account to fire back at the anonymous writer: Don't go around spouting such nonsense about people getting the answers beforehand just because you can't even count using your fingers!

It was a bustling night as Sophia swiped away on her phone to observe everything that was happening.

While still in the middle of arguing online, Katherine sent Sophia a text message: I think this 'I'mAStar' user was definitely paid to write that post. I have to get Jonice to look into her. I'm going to sue her until she loses everything!

Upon reading the message, Sophia couldn't help but laugh. Alexander just so happened to return from taking a phone call and noticed the smile on her face. “What's so funny?”

The woman passed him her phone. “Remember that game show I joined with Katherine in July? It just aired tonight and seems to have gained quite some traction, but someone's accusing me of having gotten the answers in advance.”

From the hint of amusement in her voice, it was clear that she was rather tickled by the anonymous writer.

“Have you watched it?”

Sophia shook her head. “Nope.”

Alexander gazed at her and let out a rare chuckle. “Let's watch it together.”

While speaking, he turned on the television and connected his phone to it.

Sophia grinned as she saw herself on the screen. “Sure.”

The first season contained eight episodes ranging from eighty to ninety minutes each.

There were six teams participating in the game show, and each team only had a little over ten minutes of screen time.

Perhaps due to Katherine's investment in the program, the post-editing didn't seem to have been done maliciously.

Alexander was only interested in Sophia's appearance on the show, so it took them a mere half an hour to finish watching the entire season.

“What do you think?” asked Sophia.

It was her first time having taken part in a show, and she found it interesting.

The way it's been edited makes the show look a lot more fun compared to the actual filming.

Alexander placed his arms around the woman. “You're so smart, Precious.”

Then, he turned to stare at her.

Feeling her cheeks burn, Sophia averted her gaze. “The questions weren't difficult.”

She wasn't acting modest, but the first season's questions were indeed fairly simple.

Alexander took her phone. “You have a text from Ms. Quinn.”

Without avoiding him, Sophia opened up her chat conversation with Katherine right in front of the man.

This time, it was a voice note from Katherine. “I'm so frickin' p*ssed off! Are these guys stupid or what? We finished answering the questions early because that's just how smart we are, and now they're saying we don't respect the show! Arghhhh! I'm going to dig out whoever's writing all this nonsense!”

Following her voice note was a screenshot. Most people didn't believe in I'mAStar's post, but an entertainment account later shared it while adding that Sophia and Katherine had joined the show purely for their own enjoyment rather than for the show's best interest.

Despite netizens' skepticism toward that post, the entertainment account had still succeeded in making it the eighth most trending item on Twitter.

“Do you need my help?”

Hearing Alexander's words, Sophia glanced up at him and beamed. “How could I ever trouble you with such a trivial issue, Mr. Xenos?”
