Rebirth of a Flopped Actress: Career First, Love Second
Chapter 284: Sacrificing a Pawn
The internet was ablaze with criticism. Christian sat at his computer, staring at the photos of Amelia. His previously composed and confident demeanor twisted into one of disbelief and fury. He had always believed Amelia to be refined and elegant, someone who thrived in the entertainment world without compromising her integrity. Now, these photos were like slaps to his face; each one on his phone felt like a cannonball exploding in his chest, each one ringing harder than the last. Every call from Amelia only fueled his anger.
Fuming, Christian logged into Twitter to delete his earlier supportive post. Before he could act, his feed flooded with posts from entertainment accounts sharing behind-the-scenes shots of Olivia on the set of “Under the Sky.” The photos were candid. Yet, even in unposed moments, Olivia’s beauty was undeniable. Surrounded by her fans, she looked like an angel basking in sunlight. The light highlighted her flawless skin, making it glow with a crystalline radiance. Her bright, smiling eyes reflected kindness as she interacted with fans, exuding a serene charm free of any pretense.
Christian felt like a punch had landed squarely on his chest. He couldn’t stop thinking about how close he had been to Olivia, only to choose Amelia in the end. The regret was suffocating. He wanted to slap himself. Fueled by rage, Christian deleted his earlier tweet supporting Amelia and unfollowed her account. His unfollow did not go unnoticed by the ever-watchful internet. For Christian to react so strongly confirmed the authenticity of the leaked content.
Within moments, Amelia’s Twitter became a battlefield, with people flocking to watch the fall of the once-beloved star. Amelia panicked. Christian’s reaction and the relentless attacks from netizens weighed on her like an unmovable mountain. The company called, demanding she address the situation immediately. With trembling hands, Amelia made a desperate phone call. “Please, save me!”
As netizens indulged in the unfolding drama, Amelia’s company suddenly released an official statement: “After a thorough investigation, the recent allegations stem from unauthorized actions by manager Daisy. She violated company rules by coercing artists to attend social gatherings and privately arranging deals with other companies to benefit outside parties. Daisy has been dismissed, effective immediately. Amelia was unjustly implicated and remains uninvolved in these actions. Our company will ensure better oversight of agents and staff in the future.”

“I knew Amelia was innocent. She was new, with no power or connections. What could she do if Daisy forced her into those situations?”
“Oh, so Daisy physically pinned Amelia down on those men’s laps?”
“Daisy is awful. It’s bad enough she disliked Olivia, but why drag Amelia’s name into this mess?”
“Don’t cry, Amelia. We believe in you!”
Amelia’s fans clung to the statement like a lifeline. The company’s announcement, paired with Daisy’s termination notice, gave them the justification they needed to rally behind Amelia. Seizing the moment, Amelia publicly appeared to cry about Daisy’s exploitation. Behind the scenes, she hired an army of trolls to connect Daisy’s actions with Daniel’s scandal, fanning the flames of public outrage. The narrative shifted, redirecting all the blame onto the so-called unethical agents.
