Chapter 232
Elvira felt it was time and asked her staff to post more photos of Morris and Cheryl. The two weren't popular and hadn't made much of a splash; there were only dozens of likes and comments, mostly hateful. But Elvira didn't mind. She asked the production team to post daily, and as it turned out, their fan base grew quite steadily.
Judy habitually observed Elvira's crew. She had already investigated the situation of the two actors Elvira had found. Judy wouldn't think much of her while waiting to see what Elvira had up her sleeve in the past. However, when Judy discovered she was unrelated to the Willis family, she worried about being kicked out at any time. Her emotions were unstable, and she feared her identity would be exposed. She distrusted everyone and refused to go home, nor did she want to see Karen or her father. She felt annoyed when she saw them.
Seeing her mother in such a situation made Judy even more annoyed. She wished she could slap Amber twice, but she didn't dare; after all, she had to maintain a good reputation.
Judy took her phone and called a blogger she had bribed. “I have some information to send you now. It’s about the scandal of an actress called Morris and Cheryl. Help me send it out and find ghostwriters to blow this up. I want them gone from the entertainment industry.”
“No problem. Give me the money, and I’ll bury those people in shame.” The blogger smiled and agreed.
Judy felt relieved. She sent the dirt on Cheryl and Morris. At the same time, she also informed the people who forced the two of them to sleep with each other and told them to be prepared to come out and respond at any time. Judy wanted to destroy their careers.
Elvira’s drama was halfway through filming, and the initial funds would be wasted if Judy could ruin Morris and Cheryl’s reputations. Even if Elvira found someone to reshoot it, she wouldn’t have the time. Moreover, the actors and script were closely related; Elvira would only anger the public if she kept working with Morris and Cheryl.
Judy believed that as long as Elvira was destroyed, Karen might take a liking to her. Even if she wasn't her real granddaughter, she might not care. After all, with Elvira's image destroyed, Karen would have no choice but to choose Elvira. However, the more Judy thought about it, the more anxious she became. She felt like she was about to explode. She took out her phone and called Calvin, but the call went unanswered. ‘Fuck! This bastard does refuse to take responsibility!’ Judy hated everyone.
Morris and Cheryl’s “scandal” was exposed that afternoon. Both of their “scandals” were somewhat similar. Cheryl’s “scandal” involved asking the director and the agency’s higher-ups to get her the most popular role. After sleeping with the higher-ups, she asked for money, a house, and resources. She even asked him to divorce his wife and marry her. This resulted in her being banned from the agency.
Meanwhile, Morris’s “scandal” was acting like a big shot. He looked down on actors from the same batch because he was popular. One day, a fellow actor bumped into him, and he beat him up so badly that he was almost blind. That actor only had a little vision left and could no longer be an actor. As a result, he opened a fried chicken shop and was selling fried chicken. It was quite difficult for him. There were even rumors that Morris had molested a B-list actor in the same production team. Later, he thought he could do whatever he wanted when he became popular and beat people up in the agency.
As soon as the news was released, it became a trending topic that quickly occupied all the major media platforms, and even many “victims” spoke up to verify that they were the victims. Morris and Cheryl’s scandal shocked netizens. They had heard of this news before, but it was just groundless reports. There was no concrete evidence, and no victims ever stood up. Moreover, Morris and Cheryl were not yet established in the entertainment industry. They did not expect the incident to be much worse than what they knew.
One of the “victims” said he chose to expose the news recently because those scumbags had come out to act again and were still promoting it in a high-profile manner. He could not stand it anymore, so he chose to expose them. He hoped everyone would boycott those scumbags and cursed at Morris and Cheryl. The “victim” said everyone might have forgotten the bad things they had done, but he wanted to remind them that digital footprints existed. He stood on the side of justice and represented justice for the other victims. He wanted Morris and Cheryl to apologize to the victims and immediately announce that they would leave the entertainment industry forever.
The informant’s words were reassuring. The netizens were also agitated by the news and the pitiful situation of the victims. All of them were scolding Morris and Cheryl.
[I used to follow Morris and am angry. Who knew he was this problematic? This scum didn’t receive any punishment, and it’s unfair. And he still has the cheek to act again? He must have a solid backing.]
[I’ve also followed Cheryl’s social media. That woman is a sick slut. I didn’t expect her to get her name cleaned and return to act. I wonder what kind of sugar daddy she found to support her. That woman is disgusting. What right does she have to return to the acting industry?]
[Scum, get out of the entertainment industry!]
[She’s still young but already sold her body to the Devil. The police need to investigate those two!]
[We need to boycott them. Their acting is horrible, yet someone thought they were a good investment? What a joke! We need to boycott their current agency!]
The incident was trending and spread very quickly. In almost two hours, it developed into a nationwide boycott movement. A large number of reporters and netizens even ran to Elvira’s filming location to boo Morris and Cheryl. Some even barged into the production team to cause trouble and smash the production team’s equipment.
The person in charge was about to go crazy. He quickly called Cole. Cole went to look for Elvira and asked her for a solution.
When Cole arrived at Elvira’s office, Elvira was answering Cheryl’s call. Elvira told her and Morris not to listen to anything. She had already arranged for a car to pick them up and let them listen to the bodyguards’ arrangements.
Unfortunately, Morris and Cheryl had already seen the comments online. Their faces became pale, especially when the surrounding actors looked at them strangely. It was as if they got a rare and deadly disease.
The bodyguards Elvira sent came over to pick them up. Immediately, the rest of the production team began to discuss. Everyone felt the series had failed.
