Chapter 907 - 915: Pointing at the Mulberry Tree and Cursing the Locust

She’d never spent so much effort on beautifying herself to be a lovely bride before marriage, yet today, she’s extraordinarily willing to spend time fussing over it just to meet a few friends tomorrow.

James Black had only read for ten plus minutes in the study before his thoughts drifted towards Jane Sampson.

Breaking his usual routine of reading books or the news after a meal, he picked up his mobile phone and logged into Twitter.

Since Jane Sampson was the only person James Black followed, as soon as he opened the app and refreshed, he saw the Twitter post Jane had made that afternoon.

She said, "The sky is so strange today."

James Black enlarged the photo, admired it for a few minutes, and found nothing strange about it; instead, he thought the azure sky with its fluffy clouds was quite beautiful.

Every year, during this season, the sky always looks better than at any other time.

James thought to himself that the strange one must be Jane.

He clicked on the comments below Jane’s Twitter post, which had already broken ten thousand.

Netizen: This is the most subtle cursed through praise I’ve seen in my entire life.

Netizen: As a random passerby, what do I do if I suddenly start liking you? Goddess Sampson, you’ve stolen my heart, and you must take responsibility! You’re just so fascinating!

Netizen: Could the "strange" here be referring to Amber Edwards?

Netizen: My homegirl Goddess Sampson is just too cute! Goddess Sampson, give me a like, please!

Netizen: How can I not love you? Revenge through likes; responses with a photo; you’re like a landslide within the circle, not bowing to the walls but only to you.

Netizen: Please continue with your performance, Goddess Sampson, I definitely have to visit your Twitter more often in the future—it’s filled with so much fun and humor! I scrolled through all of Goddess Sampson’s tweets, and my mother asked me why I was laughing as if I’d been struck by thunder.

Seeing Amber Edwards’ name and the netizens mentioning the most subtle cursed through praise, James went straight to the Twitter hot topics rankings and, right at the top, he spotted Amber’s apology video.

James clicked into the video and, upon seeing the dress that Amber wore, he couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Looks like she’s not foolish," he said softly, so the "strange" that Jane was talking about probably refers to Amber being strange.

The color of the dress Amber wore in the video was azure blue, the same color of the sky in the photo captured by Jane; placed side by side, the similarity in the shades of blue between Amber’s dress and the sky in Jane’s photo was nearly identical.

James returned to the comments below Jane’s Twitter post, liked her tweet, and left a single comment.

Good.

Just one word followed by a period.

Nothing else.

After replying, James resumed browsing other Tweets related to this incident.

However, he had already guessed the reason for Jane’s good mood today must be this incident.

Without using any crude language, she had successfully delivered the biggest counter to Amber.

She hadn’t uttered a word, but underneath Amber’s apology video, a group of nosy netizens left messages saying, "Goddess Sampson says you’re strange, but she didn’t say if she forgives you, so it looks like she probably won’t bother with you."

Another netizen said Jane shouldn’t forgive Amber, arguing that destroying someone’s career and cutting off their livelihood was no different from wiping out someone’s entire family—why should forgiveness be granted just because you apologized?

Although there was no direct proof linking the Francis incident to Jane, the timing was too perfect, and given that miss Amber herself had gone to the lengths of recording a video to apologize to Jane, the netizens weren’t foolish and had guessed that Amber had met her match and admitted her unfortunate mistake.
