"You scheming bitch! My brother almost lost everything because of you! How shameless are you?"

"Once a mistress, always a mistress. You disgusting piece of trash, how dare you try to frame my brother? Go to hell!"

"Not a fan, just a bystander who saw everything. Joyce's actions are truly eye-opening."

At midnight, Joyce was summoned to her company because of the scandal. Her agent, Yaritza, arrived as well. After being lectured by her superior, Yaritza found Joyce.

"I tried to warn you before, but you refused to listen. Now look at the mess!"

Having been an agent for over ten years, this was Yaritza's first such difficult situation. She was so anxious she felt overwhelmed.

Joyce, facing Yaritza's anger, could barely speak. "I didn't think they'd dig up my past. I I"

"You really were a mistress?" Yaritza interrupted, her gaze sharp.

Joyce froze, then nodded. "I was young then, so"

"A mistress is a mistress, regardless of age!" Yaritza's outrage was palpable; her tone sharper than ever. Her husband had been stolen by a mistress, making her despise them above all else.

Denounced for her past, Joyce was speechless. She hung her head, her eyes reddening with unshed tears.

Yaritza glared. "The boss has decided: all your resources for the next few months are withdrawn. Your endorsements and show invitations are canceled. The drama production crew is insisting on replacing you."

"How how can this be!?" Joyce panicked, grabbing Yaritza's hand. "Yaritza, that was in the past. No matter how bad it was, I've changed. Why won't the company give me a chance?"

"Yes, it's in the past. But sabotaging Karter is happening now. Do you know how many fans he has? They're already condemning you. Plus, Karter's studio has spoken to our boss. If you don't apologize, they'll sue!"

Yaritza flung off Joyce's hand. "Apologize. I've drafted a tweet. Just post it."

"Yaritza"

"I've done all I can. If you don't apologize, the company will ban you, and your comeback will be impossible!"

"But if I apologize, I admit to framing Karter. Won't a comeback still be difficult?" Joyce remained unrepentant.

Yaritza rubbed her temples. "Fine. If you won't apologize, the company will handle it. Don't regret it later!"

"N-no! Yaritza, I'll apologize." Joyce handed over her phone.

Yaritza, still glaring, took the phone, accessed Joyce's Twitter password, and tweeted the apology.

The statement didn't garner forgiveness. Many netizens felt sorry for Karter, who had tried to help Joyce and was now wronged. Bad luck.

The next day, "#FeelingTrulySorryForKarterHogan" trended on Twitter for two days.

Two days later, Karter appeared at M Studio. In the meeting room, he stood, bowing slightly to Gwenda. "I'm sorry."

Gwenda was startled. If Hattie hadn't been behind her, she might have fallen. "What's going on?"

The passage is now grammatically correct, punctuated properly, and more concise. The excessive use of exclamation points has been reduced for better flow. The final ellipsis suggests the story continues.
