Abandoned by All I Took It All Back novel Chapter 376

If someone didn't value their own life, the restaurant probably wouldn't be able to stay open anyway.

The online commenters were not to be trifled with. With just a few keystrokes, their venom could drown a person.

It was no exaggeration. Stories of celebrities committing suicide after being unable to withstand online firestorms were all too common.

Melody was also caught in the crossfire. Several of her upcoming short dramas were put on hold, and no one dared to hire her for new ones.

Janina felt terribly sorry for Melody, who had been dragged into the mess because of The Tasting Room's controversy.

At that moment, Melody was at a spa with Maggie.

"Don't worry, just think of it as me taking a vacation. Maggie and I are at the spa. You should come relax, too."

With a facial mask on her face and treatment wraps on her hands, Melody couldn't text, so she had her phone on speaker.

"You guys go ahead. I'll come out and relax once this is all sorted out."

A trace of exhaustion colored Janina's voice. With The Tasting Room facing a potential shutdown, she was worried sick for West.

She also had shares in the restaurant. Whether for her own sake or West's, she was determined to get to the bottom of it.

"Okay. I've already sent my contacts out to find leads. The truth will come out eventually. I can't show my face right now; I need to keep a low profile for a few days," Melody's voice sounded muffled.

She was afraid of being attacked if she appeared in public and had been hiding at home for days. She had only dared to venture out for a spa day because Maggie was off work.

"Got it. Be careful, stay safe, and take a few extra bodyguards when you go out," Janina advised.

On that front, Janina had nothing to worry about.

Besides Maggie, Melody had brought four bodyguards.

She was not joking around; she valued her life.

After hanging up, Janina and her public relations team posted another clarification video online.

[Get the hell out of Clayborne City, you shameless, bottom-of-the-barrel trash.]

…

The internet was a tidal wave of insults.

The language was foul, the personal attacks were vicious, and it was all too vile to read.

The Tasting Room was engulfed in a severe public relations crisis in Clayborne City.

Although the restaurant remained open, not a single customer came to eat. From time to time, people would show up at the entrance to spit on the ground and shout curses.

The employees didn't dare to drive them away, fearing it would incite a larger mob.

Fortunately, the hecklers would leave after spewing a few insults.

The chefs for The Tasting Room's new branch had already been hired, but due to the scandal, they all rushed to distance themselves from the restaurant, terrified of being caught in the backlash.
