# Chapter 432: The Fan War — A Lesson in Influence
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 432 of "The Untouchable Ex Wife" — a chapter that delivers a hefty dose of online drama, hurt feelings, and a confrontation that cuts far deeper than any of them expected. If you thought the manure-throwing incident was the end of it, think again. Because now, the battle has moved from the streets to the screens — and the fingers are flying faster than ever!
---
Leia's fingers hammered against her phone screen as though the device itself had personally offended her. Her eyes were blazing, her jaw clenched so tightly that her cheeks ached — but that pain was nothing compared to the humiliation she and Renee had suffered earlier that day. Two innocent women, one blind and one mute, ambushed and pelted with filth like targets in some sick carnival game. And now that the shock had worn off and the anger had settled in, Leia needed someone to feel her wrath.
And who better than Xavier?
"That's different! I even said that you were my Prince Charming — but you're just charming on the outside and rotten on the inside!" she typed out furiously, each keystroke feeling like a tiny punch. Her message continued, sharp and cutting: "You two are the same, and Ren and I should just distance ourselves from you both. You were the reason for my bad luck today!"
On the other end of that conversation, Xavier stared at his phone in utter bewilderment. His brow furrowed and his lips parted as if to protest, but no words came out at first. Why was *he* being blamed? He hadn't been anywhere near the scene of the attack. He hadn't thrown a single handful of anything! And yet here he was, being tarred with the same brush as the very people who had victimized Leia and Renee.
"Why me?" he shrugged helplessly, the gesture lost to the digital void between them. He genuinely couldn't wrap his head around it — he hadn't done anything wrong, yet somehow, he was standing in the crossfire anyway.
Leia could almost feel his confusion radiating through the screen, and it only made her angrier. "Do you know who threw manure on Ren and me today?" she shot back, her tone unmistakably accusatory.
"Ugh, who?" Xavier wrinkled his nose in disgust even as he typed the words. The thought of anyone resorting to something so vulgar — especially targeting a blind woman like Renee and a mute woman like Leia, two people who were already vulnerable in so many ways — left a sour taste in his mouth. Who could possibly be so cruel, so petty, so utterly lacking in basic decency?
The answer came back like a slap to the face.
"Your fans and Shirley's fans, that's who!"
Xavier's eyes widened. Fans? *His* fans?
Leia wasn't finished. She continued typing with venom dripping from every word: "Shirley is only offended by me because of you, and that's the reason her fans bully me! Your fans were just as bad, so I'm guessing they all learned it from the both of you!" She finished her rant and shot Xavier a glare through the screen — as if sheer willpower could transmit the heat of her fury directly into his eyes.
Xavier read the message, then looked at her in complete and utter disbelief. "Why are you blaming me? The fans did that to you, so what does it have to do with me? They're all different people, so how could I possibly control their actions?" His argument was logical, reasonable, even fair. After all, no celebrity could micromanage every single person who cheered their name.
But Leia was in no mood for logic.
"You're just making excuses!" she shot back, her fingers flying. "Don't you know that idols are always their fans' role models? Your fans and Shirley's fans are such fanatics because you both spoiled them. Look at my fans and Mr. Dalton's fans — they're very gentle. Two people helped Ren and I today; one was my fan and the other was Mr. Dalton's fan. Don't you see a difference between the fans?"
And there it was — the comparison that struck Xavier like a physical blow.
He opened his mouth to respond, ready with a dozen clever retorts, but the words caught in his throat. "I..." he started, faltering. Xavier was usually eloquent — a man who could talk his way out of almost anything — but this time, he found himself utterly stumped. Because as much as he wanted to argue, Leia's logic had a painful ring of truth to it.
Different stars attracted different types of fans, and those fans often mirrored the personalities of the people they idolized. Xavier understood this on a fundamental level, even if he didn't want to admit it.
Shirley's fans, for instance, were mostly hardcore devotees — the kind of people who followed her every move with obsessive devotion. They seemed to be emulating Shirley herself: a woman who had clawed her way up from nothing, who had built her career through sheer determination and ruthless ambition. Her fans felt triumphant when they watched her rise from obscurity to stardom, as though her success was somehow their own. They had invested so much emotional energy in her journey that her status had become intertwined with their own identities. And that was precisely why they reacted so violently when anyone or anything threatened her position. It was as if the child they had raised with so much effort and pride had been attacked — and naturally, a parent would go berserk to protect their offspring.
In stark contrast, Santiago's fans were entirely different creatures. They were more refined, more composed, more... measured. That was because of Santiago himself: a man of prominent background and famous family, whose very existence exuded privilege and polish. He had been exceptional even before he entered the entertainment circle, and he had maintained that aura of perfection throughout his career. Every part of his life seemed flawless — his appearance, his talent, his pedigree, his reputation. There was almost nothing bad about him, nothing for scandal-mongers to sink their teeth into. His fans looked at him and saw not just an idol, but a symbol of aspiration. Supporting him made them feel more secure, more superior, more connected to the rarefied world he inhabited. And so, in turn, they carried themselves with that same refined rationality in everything they did.
Xavier understood all of this. He could see the pattern clearly now — how an idol's character shaped the behavior of their fanbase, how the energy a celebrity projected inevitably rippled outward and multiplied. Shirley's ambition bred aggressive defenders. Santiago's elegance bred genteel supporters. And Leia... well, Leia's gentle nature had attracted gentle fans, and the same could be said for Renee's circle.
But what about Xavier's own fans?
He scrolled through the messages in his mind, trying to piece together the puzzle of his own follower base. His fans were passionate, certainly. But why were they so... extreme? So fanatical? He wasn't like Shirley — he hadn't crawled out of the gutters of obscurity fighting tooth and nail for every scrap of recognition. He wasn't like Santiago either — he didn't come from a family dripping with gold and prestige. Xavier was somewhere in between, a man of talent and charm who had carved his own path through sheer charisma.
Yet somehow, his fans had turned into a force he couldn't control, couldn't predict, and apparently couldn't even take responsibility for.
He looked at his phone again, at Leia's angry words still glowing on the screen, and felt a strange mixture of emotions churning in his chest: guilt, confusion, and a hint of defensiveness that he couldn't quite shake. He hadn't asked his fans to hurt anyone. He hadn't encouraged their behavior. He had simply existed, performed, and smiled for the cameras — and somehow, that had been enough to light a fire he never intended to start.
But as the silence stretched between them, Xavier realized something uncomfortable: it didn't matter whether he had intended it or not. The damage was done. Leia and Renee had been hurt because of people who claimed to love him. And no amount of "I didn't do it" could ever undo that pain.
He ran a hand through his hair, exhaling slowly. Somewhere in the back of his mind, a quieter voice whispered that this was only the beginning — that if fans could be so easily provoked, the situation would only get worse before it got better.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter delivers a powerful punch — not through physical action, but through the sharp-tongued confrontation between Leia and Xavier. Watching Leia refuse to back down and call out the hypocrisy of celebrity fan culture is both satisfying and thought-provoking. The chapter cleverly contrasts Shirley's fanatical followers with Santiago's refined supporters, painting a subtle yet devastating picture of how an idol's true nature inevitably shapes those who worship them. Xavier's quiet realization that he can't escape responsibility — even when he didn't personally cause the harm — is an excellent moment of character development. My only wish is that we could see more of Renee's perspective in this emotional storm, as her silence can sometimes speak louder than words. Overall, an intense and meaningful chapter that leaves you thinking long after you've finished reading.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
With Xavier now painfully aware that his fanbase has become a dangerous liability, I predict he will take decisive action to publicly distance himself from the toxic behavior — perhaps issuing a statement condemning the attack on Leia and Renee. However, this could backfire spectacularly if his more obsessive fans interpret his "betrayal" as Leia's fault, escalating the conflict even further. Meanwhile, Santiago's noble intervention earlier suggests he may step forward to protect Renee more openly, potentially forcing Xavier into a position where he must choose between his pride and the woman he once loved. A confrontation between the two men seems inevitable — and it promises to be explosive.
