Chapter 91
Bella's image was completely ruined. The entertainment industry cast her aside. Once, she had many die-hard fans who defended her against any scandal. They tirelessly fought online haters. But this time, many of those fans turned against her, joining the chorus of condemnation. There was no way to salvage the situation.
The Wyatt sisters remained silent for a long time. The damage wasn't solely due to media outlets; numerous official accounts also publicly denounced her.
"Public opinion is affecting the company," Clara said solemnly. "Our stock price plummeted to a record low in a single day. We lost billions!"
Her sisters' composure crumbled. Their faces darkened. The incident's impact far exceeded their expectations.
"After the news broke, I used our influence to mitigate the damage," Amara said grimly. "But some powerful force is pulling the strings. I don't know who it is, but they're formidable. They silenced the most influential voices."
The Wyatt sisters shuddered. They still didn't know whose powerful wrath they'd incurred. A suffocating weight pressed down on them.
"Let me see!" Bella exclaimed, agitated by her sisters' conversation. She demanded her phone.
"Bella, I think you should" Clara began.
Bella ignored her, grabbing a phone. Seeing the online vitriol, her temper flared. Once adored by fans worldwide, she was now an object of hatred. Her fame and reputation were shattered; everyone wanted to pile on. Those who once fawned over her now viciously attacked her.
Bella felt dizzy. Suppressing her rage, she continued reading. When she saw official media outlets directly naming her, her face went ashen.
[The Broadcasting Board released a statement: Due to her terrible behavior, Bella Wyatt is prohibited from participating in the company's public activities. All her projects will be removed from all platforms indefinitely. She will also face legal charges.]
Bella's lips trembled. This was her worst nightmare—the fate that terrified every entertainer: being blacklisted. Completely and utterly blacklisted. Her acting career was over. She could no longer face the public. All her achievements were erased, rendered meaningless. Even the most famous celebrities feared this fate. In a few years, she would be forgotten, obsolete.
Bella loved acting. She cherished the prestige and privilege of fame, reveling in her A-list status. The thought of never acting again, never being a celebrity, was unbearable. She felt she had lost the most important thing in her life. Listless and forlorn, she whispered, "How could this happen?"
All she had done was frame Camille—a common, insignificant act in the industry. How could it have destroyed her career?
