Chapter 1004 - Do We Have Any Chance Left?
Brandon patted Nelson on the shoulder and said, "Let's go inside."
Since Brandon didn't want to talk, Nelson refrained from pushing the subject and simply nodded,
following Brandon into the private room.
The dinner was enjoyable, especially with Kason and others present. Although the situation between
Brandon and Olive was now "complicated," the gathering still maintained a sense of civility, giving
respect to Kason and Nelson, who had organized the event.
After all, it had been a long time since they had all met, so drinks were inevitable.
Initially, Brandon had no intention of drinking, but the peer pressure and the long time since they last
saw each other convinced him otherwise. Moreover, the stress from the issues at the construction site
had been taking its toll on him.
When the meal ended, Brandon was the only one sober, while the others were showing signs of being
tipsy.
Brandon arranged separate designated drivers for everyone and helped Kason into the car. As he
turned around, he noticed Olive standing docilely behind him, looking at him with big eyes, just like she
did when they were younger.
Avoiding eye contact with her, Brandon asked, "Weren't you supposed to come here with Nelson?"
Olive took a couple of steps toward Brandon, slightly tipsy, and gazed up at him. "Brandon, are you
getting married?"
Brandon's expression slightly changed upon hearing her question, and he answered softly, "Yes."
After Olive heard his response, she bit her lip and asked, "Do we have any chance left?"
Perhaps due to alcohol, Olive's courage seemed to have grown, compared to earlier in the private
room.
"Olive, you're drunk," Brandon replied coldly and distantly.
For some reason, Olive's eyes started to turn teary as she heard Brandon's words.
Without being rude, Brandon supported her, allowing her to stand upright, and asked, "How did you get
here?"
"Brandon, I still like you, really like you..." Olive kept repeating how much she liked him.
Brandon didn't interrupt her and let her say what she needed to say.
After she finished, Brandon used one hand to support her and the other to pick up his phone to call for
a car. When the car arrived, he helped Olive into it and provided the driver with the address and
another number to call when they arrived. After settling the fare and giving the driver extra money,
Brandon noted the license plate and allowed the car to depart.
However, just as the car was about to leave, Olive suddenly pushed the door open and got out. From
behind, she hugged Brandon, her face full of tears. "Brandon, can't you give me another chance?
Please?"
This scene was captured by the paparazzi who had been following Brandon around due to the recent
events at the construction site. The photo of him embracing a woman late at night quickly went viral.
Furthermore, the situation escalated when someone leaked the video and pictures of Brandon with
Sandy, along with the intimate photos and videos of them together.
With both scandals exposed, a new round of public opinion emerged, comparing Sandy and Olive.
Both women were stunningly beautiful, but since Sandy was younger and had taken good care of
herself, the majority leaned in her favor. Moreover, Sandy had a significant fan base.
Thus, Olive's information was dug up, and her Twitter account was found. The comment section was
flooded with hateful remarks.
"Aren't exes supposed to fade away?"
"After breaking up, don't you think it's decent to move on? Have some self-respect for your ancestors."
"Look at how ugly she is, yet she dares to compete with our Sandy for a man? She should go home
and look in the mirror!"
The vitriolic comments were endless, as Olive was an ordinary person, and Sandy's fan base was quite
formidable.
The situation became extremely chaotic.
Upon seeing the news reports, Brandon initially wanted to explain things to Sandy.
After listening quietly, Sandy finally asked, "Did you call me just to have me speak up?"
Brandon fell silent for a few seconds before saying, "No, I just wanted to explain that I didn't do Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
anything."
Sandy softly agreed without bringing up the topic further and asked, "Brandon, how are things on your
side? Have you resolved the issues?"
Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, Brandon massaged his forehead and said, "Not yet. It might
take a few more days."
"Then focus on dealing with it, and you don't have to worry about me," Sandy reassured him.
After Sandy finished speaking, she added, "I believe in you."
There were many things Brandon wanted to say at that moment, but he found himself unable to speak.
"Sandy, wait for me. I'll resolve everything and be back soon."
"Okay," Sandy responded.
After hanging up the phone, Sandy leaned against the headboard, feeling somewhat dazed.
Brandon's call was about more than just what he said, and Sandy knew it.
Taking a deep breath, Sandy opened her phone and looked at the online comments.
She saw all the hateful remarks directed at Olive.
Having been through a similar situation when she first entered the industry, Sandy understood the
feeling of being publicly attacked.
So, after reading the malicious comments beneath Olive's Twitter, Sandy sent out a tweet of her own.
"No destruction, no third party. We're both doing well. Please take care of yourselves and live a good
life."
Sandy's tweet garnered millions of likes, with many replies comforting her.
Her fans, though rational, did have some black sheep who continued to harass Olive under Sandy's
name. They even dug up Olive's past experiences abroad and exposed them online.
The situation was spiraling out of control, but it was something Sandy couldn't fully control. Those trolls
wouldn't stop just because Sandy said so.
Recalling the time when she first entered the industry and was faced with similar online abuse, Sandy
knew how uncomfortable and hurtful it could be.
So, after reading the hateful comments under Olive's Twitter, Sandy sent out another tweet.
"I've experienced this situation before. Cyberbullying isn't pleasant. I hope we can all be kinder to one
another and live good lives."
Sandy's fans were generally reasonable, so after she sent the tweet, they refrained from further
attacking Olive on her behalf.
However, the trolls were relentless, and they refused to stop just because Sandy asked nicely.
["No push in, no the other woman. We're both doing well. Please take care of yourselves and live a
good life."]
As soon as Sandy's tweet was posted, it received millions of likes and a stream of comforting replies.
Sandy's fans, for the most part, remained rational, refraining from further attacking Olive under Sandy's
tweet. However, some malicious users, hiding behind Sandy's fans, continued to hurl insults at Olive,
even going as far as exposing her past experiences abroad.
The situation spiraled out of control, but Sandy had no control over these trolls. They didn't care about
anyone's plea for kindness and were only seeking momentary satisfaction.
When Brandon called Sandy again, she couldn't help feeling a bit annoyed. Her voice was cool when
she answered, "What's the matter?"
Though Brandon could sense Sandy's displeasure, he mustered the courage to bring up the online
situation. "Sandy, can you do something about the situation online?"
"Do you think I haven't done enough already?" Sandy's voice interrupted him before he could finish his
sentence.
