Marry My Ex's Sworn Enemy (Sonya)

Chapter 8: I Just Fell for a Jerk

Trending Topic: Julian Jennings Cheats on Seraphina West with Female Doctor; Seraphina Attempts Olivoricide for Love. The comments were brutal.

"Even doctors have no morals now."

"She looks like a slut."

"White coat on, she's a doctor. White coat off, she's a whore."

"She's not even worthy to lick Seraphina's shoes."

"Seraphina attempted suicide because of this woman?"

Julian Jennings must have been charmed by her. Now he's trying to buy her off, and she's being greedy. Shameless."

"I know her. She works at the city hospital. Her last name is Ella."

"The city hospital belongs to the Jennings family. She probably slept her way to work there."

"Can she really be a doctor? She should get fired!"

The comments were mostly from Seraphina's fans. They didn't know the truth, condemning Sonya as a homewrecker with vicious insults.

Sonya closed the page.

The topic, which had been no.13, was now no.l, and exploding.

"Seraphina's team is clearly behind this, boosting the trending topic," Ashley analyzed. Sonya was puzzled. "This isn't something to be proud of. Why would they do this?" "With my knowledge of showbiz, I suspect Seraphina's team is using this video to cover up her affair with Liam Stone. Didn't I tell you that this morning? News of her suicide attempt leaked, and people are guessing the baby is Liam's, and she tried to kill herself because he wouldn't take responsibility."

Sonya frowned. "You mean they're using me as a scapegoat?"

"It's working. Look at the shift in public opinion. They've stopped attacking Seraphina and started attacking you."

"But I'm not a celebrity."

"Exactly. No one will defend you. They can say anything they want. Unless Seraphina or Julian clear this up, you'll be labeled a "homewrecker.' They've dug up your identity. If this escalates, it will affect your life and career."

Sonya took a deep breath. She didn't care about being insulted by strangers, but being used by Seraphina was sickening.

She went to the VIP ward, encountering Julian on the way. He was waiting for the elevator. No

one else was around..

"You saw the trending topic, right? I expect you and Seraphina to clarify this." Sonya stated. Julian shrugged."Just stay off the internet." 51307

"Are you playing dumb She's the homemade, no ma

"Stop calling her a homewreckert She's net die bed the down, then my the pe fell for a jerk She's the victim!

A victim

That was the funniest pike she'd ever heard.

"And what about me? What did I do to deserve this

Julian sneered Aren't we broken up

Julian!"

The elevator doors opened, and he stepped inside

So, who cares if you're being attacked?

Walking back to the office, Sonya notion doctors and nurses dancing at her. The patients were whispering about her in their rooms.

"That pretty Doctor Ella? Won, she's a total homewreckert

"Looks aren't everything, If I were pretty, I'd snag a rich guy, tootnoveldrama

"But she's a doctor! She's disgracing the entire medical profession Sonya went back to her office, the real estate agent called.

"Miss Ella, I finally reached the owner, but..."

Sonya's heart sank."What did he say?"

""He wants ten million."

"What?!"

"I guess he didn't want to sell and just quoted an outrageous price. Miss Ella, I knew your parents and I tried to help you, but... I advise you to give up."

Sonya clutched her phone, silent for a moment."Olivorsan, thank you. Can you give me the owner's number? I want to try again."

"Olivorre, I'll text it to you."

Olivorsan texted her the number, but she didn't look at it until she was on the subway. Seeing the number, she froze.

She only memorized two numbers-hers and Julian's.

This was Julian's number.

She stared at the number for a long, long time.

He

the owner. He'd bought back her parents' house without telling her.

He'd even accompanied her to the house once.

The door was locked. She could only look inside.

She told him her childhood memories, longing to see inside.

He said, "It's just an old house. What's so great about it?

"I want to buy it back."

"Oh, then work hard. But if you make me happy tonight, I might help you"

Sonya went to a small bar near the subway station. Usually she only had one drink, but this time she ordered a bottle of wine.

Her eight years with Julian felt like

a tragicomedy, and the was the down How could she have been so stupid and self-deceived? She had spent so much time loving a man unworthy of her love without knowing that he saw her as She drank glass after glass, as if drowning her past could erase her stupid past. Half the bottle was gone, and she was dizzy.

Her phone buzzed. It was Henry. He sent her a picture.

It was taken under a streetlight, the pre-dawn gloom, a hint of light in the distance

A quiet street; it should be windy, because the hair in the shadowed figure was blowing Then she realized she didn't know what Henry looked like.

Her aunt had only said he was handsome, more handsome than any celebrity. This shadow seemed to confirm her aunt's words.

Though just a shadow, it was handsome.

He texted: Worked late last night. Got drunk.

Sonya smiled, taking a picture of her almost-empty bottle and sending it to

"Still drinking."

"Alone?" he asked.

"Yeah."

"Next time, I'll keep you company.

him.

Sonya's heart warmed. He didn't say women shouldn't drink, or that she shouldn't be drinking alone at night. He just said he'd be there.

"I thought you hated drinking."

"Yeah, it hurts my stomach, but I can handle it."

"Does your stomach hurt now?"

"A little."

"I'll make you hangover soup."

"Teach me. I'll make it for you.

Sonya started to laugh, then tears welled up.

During those eight years, she'd gotten drunk and felt miserable, but Julian never offered to make her hangover soup!
