Chapter 432:
Online users, loyal to whatever moved them in the moment, quickly rallied around Fulton.
“Even Tessa’s own father disagrees with her. That tells me she’s the one in the wrong p>
“Her father was right to call out Gabriela. Women these days blow tiny issues out of proportion, threaten divorce, and ruin social stability p>
“Couples fight. It’s normal. My parents argued all the time. Decades later, they’re still together and fine p>
“Maybe what Tessa calls domestic violence is just a normal argument. Fulton’s right leg was ruined saving her, and that injury cost him a decent job. Of course he’s unstable sometimes p>
“Honestly, Gabriela is the real problem. Without her stirring things up, Tessa would’ve stayed in her marriage quietly p>
“Exactly. Gabriela’s meddling is what drove Tessa to demand a divorce, and now it’s blown up. Who knows what Gabriela really wants out of this p>
Aubrey, furious at Fulton’s shameless performance, jumped back into the comments and fought the trolls again.
But this time the tide was against them.

Most people sided with Fulton. His story — the heroic rescue in college, plus Tessa’s father publicly opposing the divorce — fueled a national wave of backlash against Tessa.
Even though Tessa had already shown proof of her injuries, people brushed it off. They accused her of faking evidence and lying about abuse just to smear Fulton.
Gabriela, who had taken Tessa in and helped her hire a divorce lawyer, was dragged into the fire as well. Hate began spilling onto her name.
Tessa had never imagined that asking for a divorce would explode into a spectacle like this, or that it would pull Gabriela into the line of fire.
For days, her parents and relatives called nonstop, begging her to change her mind and go back. They were being harassed online too. They were humiliated.
Tessa felt crushed, like breathing itself had become unbearable. For a moment, she even thought about giving up on the divorce — and resigning herself to a lifetime of misery.
Gabriela quickly reassured her. “Tessa, stay inside and keep a low profile for now. We haven’t done anything wrong. We’ll get through this p>
Exhausted in both body and spirit, Tessa did as Gabriela said.
The next day, Gabriela received an urgent call from Kaleb, telling her to come to the office immediately.
“There’s a crisis — GD is threatening to pull our contract p>
Gabriela rushed to the company, only to be intercepted at the entrance by Fulton, who dropped to his knees in front of her.
“Miss Haynes, I’m begging you, stop interfering in our marriage,” he cried. “I love Tessa so much. I can’t live without her p>
A swarm of reporters had followed him, cameras flashing nonstop in Gabriela’s face. They crowded around her, shouting loaded questions.
Online, people once again rushed to Fulton’s side.
“Even Tessa’s father doesn’t approve of her behavior. Clearly she’s in the wrong p>
“Her father was completely right to call out Gabriela. Women today blow tiny things out of proportion, talk divorce over anything, and ruin social stability p>
“Couples fight. It’s normal. My parents fought all the time but they’re still together after decades. Nothing wrong with that p>
