Chapter 35

The topic of “Madeleine Robinson Destroys Seductress” continued to gain a lot of attention and soon ranked second on the trending list. Staff members excitedly projected the trending list onto a large screen in Jay’s studio. At the sight of her name projected on the big screen, Madeleine gripped Jay’s hand tightly. “Jay, it won’t be long before I reach first place on the trending list.” When that happens, she will get a lot of publicity all over the Internet, and she will be able to gain popularity and be as famous as Roseane. Roseane had achieved fame back then with a similar trending topic of taking out the person who had set foot in her relationship. If that could push Roseane to such fame, then this would definitely work for her too! “Based on the hype we are receiving, Miss Robinson will be at the top of the trending list in less than five minutes.”

Beside them, Jay’s manager, Jayda, whipped out a camera excitedly. “I have to record this historical moment!”

Madeleine and Jay had already taken their positions in front of the big screen, ready to have a photo taken with the post when it reaches the top of the trending list. Everyone waited excitedly for the trending topic to rise to the top. When their post was only two figures away from the top of the trending list, Jayda excitedly pressed the shutter. Her face fell when she took a look at the photo she had taken. “Madeleine Robinson Destroys Seductress” was still the second topic on the trending list! Out of nowhere, the first topic on the trending list became “Storewide Discount: 30% Sale at Matthew Jewellery”.

Jay rolled his eyes and said, “Matthew Valentine is messing things up!” “Of all times to promote their discount, he has to do it now?” Madeleine pursed her lips and made a call again. “Bump my post ahead of Matthew Jewellery’s trending post.” The person on the other end of the line seemed hesitant. “Miss Robinson, from what I understand, Matthew Jewellery spent 800,000 dollars to plant that post at the top of the trending list. If you want to surpass that…” “I believe you’ll have to pay me at least an additional 500,000 dollars.” Madeleine was astonished. She had no idea that Matthew Valentine was willing to spend so lavishly on an advertisement. However, she was but a person of little consequence whom nobody would pay any attention to.

She felt a headache coming on. “Is the whole world up against me today?!” She was so close to reaching the top of the trending list! She refused to be defeated! She was just a step away. A step away from gaining immense popularity! Thus, she made another call. This time, the person asked for yet another million. Madeleine nearly dropped her phone. “That’s daylight robbery!” e  The person on the other end of the line chuckled. “Miss Robinson, you have to understand that both the celebrities trending right now are way more popular than you are. Their fan bases are huge!” Madeleine was so angry that she was shaking from head to toe. She had two options as things stand. The first option was to dump in a million dollars and end things once and for all, pushing her way to the top of the trending list. The other option was simply to admit defeat. That would not only mean that she would not receive the great publicity she yearned for, but the 800,000 dollars she had paid for would also have gone to waste. She had only one point of consideration. Madeleine clenched her jaws. “Can you lower the price a little?” “No.” But she really didn’t have that much money. A moment later, she raised her head and looked at Jay with teary eyes. “Jay…” Jay could not bear to see her cry. So, after some hesitation, he finally
