Michaela Baxter was woken up by the vibrating phone.
She instinctively checked the time. It was 2 a.m. She muttered 'crazy' and tapped on WeChat.
Rosa Snow: Michaela... Breaking news! Your husband cheated on you!
Rosa: Picture [link]
Rosa: The mistress is the popular star, Anahi Gaines! Wake Up...
Her brain was confused for seconds before a streak of light shone in. Michaela sobered up instantly and sat up with a start. Having no time to reply to her bestie, she tapped on Weibo.
Trending Topic No. 1: #Ridge and Anahi
It ended with a striking 'B' as in breaking.
Michaela and Ridge Hoover had been married for two years. After their wedding, Ridge didn't leave her in the cold, though he was very busy. He would send her the latest handbags, clothes, and other stuff to make her feel less lonely from time to time.
Not in her wildest dreams had she expected Ridge would cheat on her!
Gossip Hamal V: At 11 p.m. on the 17th day, a reporter snapped pictures of a male star surnamed Hoover going to the room of a female star surnamed Gaines soon after he returned to the hotel. At 2 a.m. on the 18th day, he came out of the room. The two stayed together for around three hours. The reporters contacted the staff of both parties but haven't received any responses...
Michaela slid down and found the video.
In the footage, Ridge walked to the door of Anahi's room, looked around, and knocked on the door. When Anahi opened it, she was wearing a nightgown. They conversed for a while before Ridge got in. Three hours later, he came out.
"Cheating..." Michaela narrowed her eyes, snorted, and immediately dialed the number of Ridge's assistant.
As soon as the line was through, Michaela shouted before Gustavo Woodard could open his mouth, "You! Print out a divorce agreement, take it to that unfaithful man, and tell him to sign it now! I'm divorcing him!"
Gustavo was stunned...
30 minutes later, he arrived at the hotel with the divorce paper.
In the hotel room, Ridge's studio team was racing against time to deal with the news. His agent, Colby Parrish, was contacting people to delete the posts.
"Yes, it's a misunderstanding! Ridge isn't dating Miss Gaines. Sheer misunderstanding, right...."
"During the three hours, the other members of the crew were also in Miss Gaines's room. They were discussing the script. It was not just the two of them. Those trolls made it up!"
Colby talked till his mouth was parched, and those partners were finally pacified. Then he started to focus on the web.
He let out a deep sigh and looked at Ridge, who was sitting silently on the sofa. His bad mood was reasonable.
It was understandable. Everyone would be upset by such hype.
"Ridge, we're at the late stage of the filming, so you'd better not turn hostile to Anahi. Cool down, man...."
"I'm not thinking about that...." Ridge said helplessly.
"Then what is it?"
Ridge was just about to answer when the doorbell rang.
He knew what would happen the moment his assistant got in.
Before Gustavo could take out the divorce paper, Ridge spoke first, "Don't take it out. Buy a shredder tomorrow and put the paper into it in front of Michaela."
Then something suddenly occurred to him. Ridge held his phone and checked on Weibo.
