His Housewife Had Secret Identities novel Chapter 822

Why the sudden change? Because at Quincy’s charity gala, one of the high-society wives who had long disliked Ramona happened to record the moment Ramona tried to throw a drink on Niamh, only for Jonathan to step in front of her to block it. At first, the online backlash against Jonathan was so terrifying that she was afraid to release the video, fearing she would be targeted by the mob. But now that Quincy and Ramona were public enemy number one, she had no qualms about adding fuel to the fire.

Once the video came out, everything clicked into place for the public. Jonathan hadn't assaulted Ramona out of nowhere; he had splashed the drink on her as revenge for his ex-wife. “Okay, who isn’t shipping this?” “I thought Mr. Thomas was still trying to win his ex-wife back?” “This is the first time I’ve ever shipped an ex-couple this hard.” “If they announced they were getting remarried tomorrow, I wouldn’t even be surprised.” “I used to dream of being with Mr. Thomas… okay, fine, I’ll just ship them instead!” “This video was from a bystander, right? So Mr. Thomas never explained himself because he was trying to protect his ex-wife's privacy?” “Mr. Thomas, you’re just too in love.”

The online consensus flipped from universally condemning Jonathan to universally praising him. Niamh scrolled through her phone, a wry smile on her face. This is why trial by internet had to be executed immediately; otherwise, the verdict was bound to be overturned.

The person most affected by this reversal was Quincy. He had intended to use a smear campaign to get revenge on Jonathan for the gala incident. Instead, Jonathan had turned the tables on him, sparking a massive fight with his wife, who was now demanding a divorce.

Quincy’s wife, Hailey, held a fair bit of influence in their hometown, which was why he had never truly broken things off with her before. She didn't have any real feelings for him either; they had long maintained a marriage of convenience where they each did their own thing. Although the rumors about him and Ramona were not unfounded, Hailey had never publicly condemned him for his past flings.
