Chapter 141: Chapter 141

"Oh God, what should I do now?" Ethan whimpered as he saw all the hate comments on his social media and YouTube channel.

Most of them hated him for slandering Madeline, but people just wanted to hate him because Zane clarified only a few hours after his video went viral.

It was a huge blow to him because Ethan was just a small fry compared to Zane, and his threat to take his slander in court as a defamation case was enough to destroy Ethan’s courage.

He quickly deleted the video, but Zane’s fans were already flocking to his social media and started sending hate comments.

Ethan’s eyes were full of tears as he turned towards Frankie, who decided to ignore him and tinkered with a new gadget for his next video.

"Frankie, what should I do? Why does it turn like this?!"

Frankie sighed, "I told you that it wouldn’t end well. But you’re too stubborn..."

"Well, I didn’t expect that Zane was actually dating Madeline for real! I thought it was just for the show during Summer Heat Lovers!"

Frankie put down the gadget in his hand and turned around at his husband.

Usually, he would calm Ethan down when he got upset and cried over something.

But not this time, because Ethan brought this upon himself. He was so blinded by rage and jealousy that he ignored Frankie’s warning and continued with his plan with Bertha instead.

"You stayed in Summer Heat Lovers longer than I do. Don’t you see that Zane Eastwood is absolutely smitten by her?" Frankie asked.

"I just thought that he was a really good actor..."

"Well, now you know," Frankie said before he returned to his gadget.

"Frankie..." Ethan whimpered. "I’m so scared. Everyone is hating on me."

"Turn off the comment section," Frankie said.

"I did, but they keep sending me insults and death threats in DM!" Ethan said. He got scared reading some of them, so he simply closed all his social media. "What did I do to deserve this? Why would they attack me like this when all I did was just share tea?!"

"You’re not just sharing tea with Bertha. You two are actively slandering Madeline Rose, which would cost her career had it not been for Jasmin and Zane to clarify and defend her," Frankie told the cold, hard fact. "You have a malicious intention, so it’s obvious you’ll get repercussions once it blows back at you."

"Then what should I do next? Please help me, husband. I don’t want to lose my fans over a harmless prank!" Ethan hugged Frankie’s hand as tight as he could, scared that he would ruin his career over this.

Frankie clicked his tongue in annoyance, but he still grabbed his phone and checked Ethan’s YouTube channel to see the severity of the situation.

But when he searched Ethan’s YouTube channel, it vanished out of thin air.

Frankie’s breath stiffened. "Did you private your channel?" he asked.

"No, I just disabled the comments."

"Your channel... it’s gone."

"WHAT?!" Ethan snatched Frankie’s phone and searched for his YouTube channel, and it was gone as if it had never existed in the first place.

"NO, WHERE IS MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL?! WHAT HAPPENED?!" Ethan yelled hysterically. "FRANKIE, HELP ME, PLEASE!’

"It’s most likely that your channel has been suspended due to a mass report," Frankie said calmly. "You know that Zane has some of the craziest online fangirls."

"THEN PLEASE DO SOMETHING!" Ethan finally broke out in tears. He had spent his youth building up his name on social media, so that YouTube channel meant a lot to him. He couldn’t just let it disappear because of one small mistake.

"I can contact support to recover your YouTube channel, but..."

"But what?"

"...Never mind." Frankie shook his head slightly, not wanting to tell Ethan the truth. "Go and call Bertha. Maybe she can take the blame for you. She’s the one who comes up with this idea, right?"

"R—Right, I’ll call her!"

"Put the call on the speaker. I also want to know what she has to say," Frankie said. He also contacted support to recover Ethan’s YouTube.

But the truth was, Ethan’s career was simply done for.

He might get his YouTube channel back, but those crazy fangirls held a grudge. Ethan wasn’t like Madeline, whose entire career was based on controversy; he couldn’t handle criticism and most likely had lost half of his fanbase.

Because most of Ethan’s fans were also Zane’s hardcore fans, they would blindly follow every word that Zane said like a bunch of mindless zombies.

But Frankie didn’t have the heart to tell Ethan about this because Ethan would break down.

’He will eventually realize that his career is doomed over time. But Frankie didn’t say it because there was no need to rub salt in the wound.

He also listened to the conversation between Ethan and Bertha. He got angry thinking about Bertha. That bitch must pay for ruining Ethan’s career with her devious plan.

As soon as the call was connected, Ethan asked Bertha:

"Hello? Bertha? What should we do next? Everyone is hating us!"

...

There was a long silence on Bertha’s side before she replied, "I don’t know, Ethan. Sounds like a ’you’ problem right there."

"What do you mean it’s my problem? We did this together! They are hating us together!" Ethan yelled. "Do you think you can just escape this problem scot-free?"

"Have you checked my newest post?"

Ethan frowned. "What post?"

"Check my Instagram," Bertha said, and Ethan did just that.

He checked the most recent post, and blood slowly drained out of his body the moment he read it.

—Bertha’s post—

Hello, Bertha Marsh, here.

Recently, I saw many people sending death threats to me because I was featured in Ethan’s newest video.

The truth is, Madeline and I were childhood friends, and though we aren’t close anymore. I won’t go and slander her.

Since I’m not close with Madeline anymore, Ethan was the one who kept feeding me false information about Maddy and Zane.

I was just one of his many victims, so please, don’t hate me because I’m just a small artist who barely makes a living as a cafe singer.

Thank you,

Bertha Marsh.
