I was pulled from my thoughts by Claire’s call. I woke up to find my face soaked with tears.
I wiped my face and answered. Claire’s voice was buzzing with an excitement she couldn’t contain.
“Ivy, my darling, have you been misunderstanding your relationship with Mr. Croft?”
I was confused.
“Have you not been online? Go to social media, now! Mr. Croft is personally tearing the haters a new one. He‘
s so hot I could die.”
“If he proposes to you, you have to say yes, please. I’m begging you. I will eat a balanced diet of meat and vegetables for the rest of my life if you two just get married already.”

And then, the top comment on my clarification post was from Clark, from the official verified account of the Croft Corporation:
【You have time to write a novel, but you don’t have time to unblock me? Breaking up? Ivy Shaw, you’ve go guts.】
The comment sent a shiver down my spine. I could almost see Clark gritting his teeth.
I clicked on the trending topics and saw that Clark had gone several rounds with the haters online and hac emerged victorious.
Hater. 【This woman is a total slut. And she has the nerve to block Mr. Croft.】
Clark: 【What, you’re jealous he didn’t block you instead?]
Hater: [LMAO, she tried to seduce him and then cried assault. Has she looked in a mirror?]
Clark: [Here, why don’t you show me what you look like first.)
Hater: 【Even if the assault was real, what about her hitting Cara? Bullying a colleague? Is that not real?]
Clark: [I told her to. You have a problem, you take it up with me.]
Hater: [‘Breaking up,‘ Imao. He was just playing with her. Does she really think he’s going to marry her?]
Clark: [Am I going to marry you instead?)
Hater: 【This account is way too active. Is this a paid bot Ivy hired?]
Clark: [Greenridge Tower. Tell the front desk your username. Come to my office, and we’ll chat.]
Hater: [I don’t care Ivy is a bitch is a slut is disgusting.)
Clark: [@Assistant Lin Find all his information in ten minutes.)
Clark had completely turned the tide. The haters were silenced. It was a glorious massacre.
And then, the shippers went wild.
[Mr. Croft protecting his woman. I’m dead.】

【To everyone who laughed at Ivy, you can all go die now.】
[Mr. Croft: I’m right here. I’d like to see who dares to insult my wife.]
【OMG, can you imagine how gorgeous their kids would be?]
I was stunned.

A small smile touched my lips, but then a new notification popped up on my phone. A new comment.
[Open the door.]
I froze, dropped my phone, and peered through the peephole. Clark was standing right outside my door.
