Online opinions varied, with the majority celebrating Pearl and Raymond’s engagement while expressing disapproval of Jenny

lead to such a backlash!
“Rick, that woman has gone too far. She’s also getting engaged to someone else, yet she used this dirty trick to damage our reputations!” After this incident, she lost hundreds of thousands of followers, and even a tenth of her followers disappeared!
Richard gave her a cold stare. The rapid decline in the Waldorfs stock prices was already giving him a headache, and Jenny’s continued complaints only made it worse.
