Daniel’s messages revealed the truth. “It wasn’t me who asked Tobie to recommend Olivia; it was Tobie who sent someone over. I wanted to give the spot to Willow, but I had no choice. Don’t worry about her popularity. I’ve already arranged to deduct all her film fees and live-stream earnings under other pretenses. She can get as famous as she wants, but she won’t see a single cent.”
The long string of messages was a conversation between Daniel and an anonymous account. As readers scrolled through the chat logs, jaws collectively dropped. Even the most oblivious onlookers were stunned.
Forget everything else—just these chat logs alone shattered Daniel’s claims about his dedication to Olivia’s success.
“Never let her rise again? What? Is this something a manager should say about their artist?”
“Weren’t the earlier posts saying ‘Under the Sky’ was a project Daniel secured for Olivia? Turns out he wanted it for Willow but couldn’t grab it? I’ve seen shameless people, but this? Claiming to have invested so much in Olivia when the reality was him pocketing her earnings with fake projects?”
“When it comes to the entertainment industry’s most corrupt, Daniel’s got to be number one! What a shocking twist! I feel like an avalanche of dirt is about to come out.”
Even the most naive readers couldn’t miss the obvious. Daniel’s words revealed his intent to suppress Olivia by any means necessary. All his talk about hard work and dedication? A complete joke.
While Daniel continued playing the victim on Twitter, freshly enlightened netizens wasted no time flooding his comment section with the link to the leaked chat logs. Daniel clicked on the link, and his face went pale.
“What’s going on? How did these chat logs end up online?” he muttered in disbelief, staring at the screen. Those logs were his private conversations with Amelia’s anonymous account. He had even kept a backup of the chats on his computer, just in case Amelia betrayed him. But never in his wildest dreams did he expect these records to surface online like this.
At first, some questioned the authenticity of the chat logs. However, several Photoshop experts quickly confirmed they were real, leaving no room for doubt. Daniel’s comment section turned into a war zone.
The chaos didn’t stop there—Eve and Willow’s Twitter accounts were also flooded with criticism.
“Oh wow, that expensive makeup artist? This is the result?” If I were Olivia, I would’ve fired you ages ago! Who gave you the audacity to call yourself a top makeup artist? With skills like this, stop ruining people’s faces!”
“And you dare to play the victim online after getting fired? Didn’t Eve first spread the rumors about Olivia being a diva on set during a live stream?”

Olivia’s fans wasted no time digging up Eve’s past work. They compared the awful looks she gave Olivia with her work for other artists. Even a fool could see how maliciously Eve had sabotaged Olivia, making her look as bad as possible.
“I always wondered why Olivia didn’t get famous sooner—turns out she was sabotaged by her manager and a terrible makeup artist!”
“Let’s be real, Olivia only started to rise after firing Eve. Look at the difference! Eve’s disastrous looks versus the stunning styles Olivia did herself later. It’s night and day! Thank goodness she woke up when she did, or who knows how long they would’ve dragged her down!”
