Chapter: 1171
The reason was simple. Maria did not give a crap about this obnoxious guy.
“Unfortunately, Maria is currently sleeping and unable to answer the phone. This is Greta Willows, the editor-in-chief of Novel Hub. Can I ask what your name is? You can leave a message for her. I will tell Maria when she wakes up.”
Even though Greta expressed it coldly, she handled the situation well. She identified herself without any hesitation first, which she believed would convinced the guy to trust her.
On the other hand, Bill was completely silent. He only wanted to yell at Maria.
When Greta told him who she was, he was shocked and skeptical.
“Maria... How does Maria know Novel Hub's editor-in-chief? How is that even possible? Do you think you can fool me by acting like you are somebody important?"
Greta was the head of Novel Hub, which set the industry standard for e-novels.
Bill doubted that the famous Greta Willows would answer Maria's phone call.
“What are you really trying to say? I'm quite busy, so I'll hung up now if you have nothing urgent to discuss," Greta said impatiently, her brows deeply furrowed.
"Fine! When Maria wakes up, tell her to delete that last tweet she posted. Tell her not to spread false rumors about her sister!"
The truth was Bill only had confidence at bullying his own family Therefore, when he spoke with Novel Hub's editor-in-chief, his aggression wasn't there anymore.
Meanwhile, Maria happened to wake up just as Greta hung up the phone.
She wasn't able to sleep properly, so she had woken up after only half an hour.
“What's going on? Why is it so noisy in here?" Maria asked, casting a sour look at Greta. She would often be grumpy when she couldn't rest well and complete her sleep.
“I did absolutely nothing! It wasn't my fault." Then, Greta explained what just happened as she handed Maria her phone.
“Someone was calling you, so I answered it. Then, he was angrily saying that you should stop spreading rumors about your sister. He wants you to delete your most recent tweet about it!"
“What tweet?" Maria asked, perplexed. She was wondering what Greta could be talking about. With a sigh of resignation, Greta said, “Maria, you'd better stop tweeting whenever you're sleepy. You tweeted it using the wrong account.”
Hearing this, Maria quickly checked her phone. Eventually, she understood everything. The Twitter account she was using as the actress Maria was receiving a lot of hate comments at the time.
Over 200, 000 people had commented on her tweet since she posted it. Of course, Vivian also had many fans around the country, so the barrage of unpleasant comments was crazy.
“Maria was just obviously envious of her sister! Why would she accuse Vivian of plagiarism when she had not given a proof?"
“Maria, why are you spreading such a ridiculous rumor? If you have any evidence, then please show it. Otherwise, just shut up and live your own life!"
“I'm not even a fan of Vivian. I'm simply a bystander. But I hope that
Maria can explain her tweet after this. Why is she claiming that Vivian plagiarized?"
Maria scrolled calmly through the comments, even though they were furiously attacking her whole being.
