Chapter 2062
By the time Isabel returned to the changing room, both Amanda and the spokesperson for the fashion house of the
dress she wore had texted her.
Amanda bombarded her with several voice messages. Most of them were of her screaming Isabel’s ears off. Isabel
could feel her seething fury even across the screen.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson of the fashion house was frantically explaining that the issue was the dress could not
have possibly stemmed from them and that they would conduct a thorough investigation to find out what went
wrong.
Naturally, Isabel did not need their explanation to realize that they were not the ones responsible for what
happened. It was the handiwork of Isabella.
However, she would need proof that Isabella was the one who had done it. She decided to entrust the matter to
them.
She sent a reassuring reply, "I believe you guys."
Then, she went to social media to see what the people thought about what happened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarla noticed and gently advised, "Isabel, why don't you stay off the internet for now?"
This only made Isabel more curious. She wondered what people were saying about her, so she went to her feed
without any hesitation.
Just as she thought, her name was first, second, and third on the trending chart.
The first one on the list was captioned: "Isabel steps on Isabella's dress and exposes her."
Followed by: "Rumor is that Isabel and Isabella fought backstage."
The third one wrote: "Isabel nearly exposes herself on stage due to an accident with her dress."
There were a lot more trending keywords that more or less had something to do with her, and most of them were
negative comments about her.
Except for the third one on the chart that praised her composure during the incident, the rest of them harshly
criticized her.
One of them went, "How could Isabel do something so horrible and step on Isabella's dress? Even if the two had
history, she should not have stooped so low."
"I know she's always liked to brand herself as this very suave person, but she's taken it too far this time."
"I have to say, I'm so disappointed in her."
Most of the neutrals did not approve of her actions; they thought she was uncivilized and disrespectful.
Isabella's fans, on the other hand, were far more aggressive and were out in full force.
"How low! I hope she gets punished by karma!"
"Despicable! I hope she gets run over by a truck!"
"Isabel is just a horrible person through and through. She'd better come out and apologize to Isabella. Otherwise,
she should get kicked out of the entertainment industry!
Everyone, share this message on every post you see!"
Isabel's fans were mobilized as well. They tried to defend her stance, but with the optics of the situation, most of
the neutrals were more tempted to take Isabella's side. With Isabella's fans being so vocal, many neutrals found
themselves swayed toward Isabella's side and agreed that Isabel had gone too far this time. The wave of public
sentiment quickly drowned out what Isabel's supporters had to say.
Isabel did manage to find a handful of sensible comments that offered a nuanced view of the incident. One of them
went like this, "Something seems off to me. Think about this -it was Isabel's dress that ripped on stage first, and her
stepping on Isabella's dress happened after that. As bold as Isabel is, I don't think she is the type of person to act
rashly without considering the consequences. I'm sure she found out that it was Isabella who did something to her
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdress, so she was only retaliating."
"That's right. Isabel has been a star for so many years. She knows what she's doing. I think it was an act of
revenge."
It did not take long for someone to refute these points, "Do you have evidence to prove that Isabella was
responsible for what happened to her dress? If you don't, then stop making up these conspiracy theories. We saw
Isabel stepping on Isabella's dress on camera. That right there is proof! Proof that Isabel is a cunning, evil person!"
"That's right. Besides, Isabel did not have it as bad as Isabella. At least, she managed to cover herself just in time
and even finished the walk."
"Maybe she orchestrated this entire thing herself to seek attention because she knew it would drive clicks. What
happened with her stepping on Isabella's dress was nothing but a disgusting act!"
The thread of comments went on and on, with people piling on the original commenter. It got bad enough that at
one point, the original commenter decided to delete the comment and step away from the discussion.
Meanwhile, Isabella made a new post. It was a picture of her with tears in her eyes. She did not add any caption to
the picture, but one could see the anguish in her eyes.
It also seemed highly likely that Isabella had bought an army of bot accounts to further stir the flames, so Isabel
was now public enemy number one.
All kinds of nasty things were said about her.
