Chapter 66
Linda also felt this was the only way forward. Thus, both teams began using this point to clear their names. To enhance credibility, Leon took to Twitter once again.
Gold Agent Leon: There were no private meetings. I was always there when Sienna went to dinner with Reece.
This time, fewer people believed him, and some were only half-convinced. Phoebe’s fans, previously scattered, now had a few leaders emerge. They organized to help Phoebe fight back. Their approach was surprisingly civil. They didn’t resort to foul language or random insults, and they articulated their points when they could; if not, they simply confronted the opposition directly.
Maddox’s fans also joined the fray to support Phoebe. Seeing this, Maddox’s team quickly launched a counterattack.
[Leon is out here defending Sienna again. Sienna is his sister, what about Phoebe?] [Phoebe is his biological sister yet he defended his foster sister? So funny.] [Isn’t this just another boyfriend of Sienna’s?] [As a brother, Leon is so diligent in helping Reece and Sienna.] [How can he favor his childhood friend and foster sister while throwing his biological sister under the bus!] [What a frightening brother!] [Even if Leon is genuinely present, can it really change the intimate poses captured in those photos?] [If it’s just a friendship, why be so close!] [Getting that close, with her mouth by his car, such a pure relationship |||] [This kind of damage control is pathetic. Try a different tactic.]
Once public opinion took off, the gossipers also responded.
“Hey, yes! Sienna’s agent brother is actually Phoebe’s biological brother, right? It’s shocking that he keeps coming out to defend his foster sister and childhood friend while ignoring his own sister,” the public wondered.
[Thinking about it, it’s chilling and terrifying!] [So, a biological brother covers for a foster sister and childhood friend while undermining his own sister?] [With a brother and ex-boyfriend like this, I can only sigh for Phoebe’s misfortune.] [Having been lost, nearly sold off, and betrayed by her ex-boyfriend and two brothers, how can she still face life with a smile? Phoebe is truly strong.] [Yeah, if it were me, I might just snap and eliminate those scumbags.] [This is what family looks like. How terrifying!] [A few private meeting screenshots or photos could be explained by angles, but with so many photos like this, could it really be a coincidence?]
I have a question that’s been on my mind. I really want to know what you all think.
[Go ahead and ask.] [What is it about Sienna that charms not just Phoebe’s brother, but also her ex-boyfriend!] [From my perspective, in terms of looks, figure, and temperament, not to mention personality and capability, Phoebe is clearly better.] [I share the opinion of the previous commenter, though perhaps these men have more discerning tastes, something we ordinary folks can’t compare to.] [Maybe they just prefer that type. After all, Sienna can act and play the part.]
Clearly, even with Leon’s efforts to mitigate damage and the army of supporters guiding public opinion, most still felt there was an ambiguous relationship between Reece and Sienna.
Leon and Linda’s team quickly deployed their supporters to refute this, leading to further arguments. Seeing so many fans and bystanders speaking up for her warmed Phoebe’s heart.
When Phoebe entered the entertainment industry, she initially followed Reece, wanting to experience the work he loved. And eventually, she found herself genuinely enjoying it. Beyond the excitement of acting, the key was having a group of adorable fans who supported her, allowing her to feel warmth regularly. Phoebe had always cherished every fan and viewer who supported her.
Since everyone was helping her, Phoebe certainly wouldn’t let them down. She decided to keep a few photos for the final rebuttal, marking key areas on each photo before sending them to the group chat.
Phoebe: [Please distribute these photos. We won’t need to use public resources anymore.]
The three members of the PR team opened the photos to take a look. The areas Phoebe marked were very clear, so there was no need to ask what they meant or how to send them out.
A member of the staff: [Got it. With these photos, we can definitely pin them to the wall. They won’t be able to get down.]
Working with someone like Phoebe was both enjoyable and hassle-free.
Soon, while Reece’s fans and Sienna’s fans continued their heated arguments against Phoebe’s fans, another prominent figure in the entertainment gossip scene tweeted a message.
Gossip Break: [I suddenly received a few edited photos in my inbox. I consulted a tech expert, and these photos haven’t been altered, so I’m sharing them for everyone to see and gossip about.]
He included six photos in his tweet. Once his tweet went live, Maddox’s team began promoting it everywhere, even getting it trending.
Today was filled with gossip, and everyone was eager to know more. They quickly clicked to view the details.
[Although these six photos are solo shots of Reece and Sienna, they provide solid proof.] [Wearing matching pendants? This isn’t just a friend, entrusted by her brother, looking out for her, is it?] [It truly is a match, and both have worn it on multiple occasions.] [With so many instances, it shows they both really like… ] (I happened to see this pendant in a magazine. It was labeled as a limited couple’s edition, not sold separately. I vividly remember because the price for the pendants reached 2 million dollars.) [I looked it up, and sure enough, it’s just as the commenter said. See for yourselves. The commenter attached a picture below, and when everyone clicked on it, they saw the two wearing the couple pendants.] [So are they showing off their relationship in public?] [Reece is quite generous. He just gives away a pendant costing 1 million dollars.] [They wore it before the variety show, which was during the time Reece was dating Phoebe.] [Once again, I feel for Phoebe, who was betrayed so early.] [This matching couple pendant is irrefutable proof. Let’s see how Leon cleans this up-] [Did he really give them both one?] [What was mentioned earlier isn’t impossible.] [That only means he’s helping outsiders while pushing his own sister to the corner.] [I didn’t expect Reece to be this kind of person, a cheating scumbag.] [Sienna is stealing Phoebe’s brother and won’t let even Phoebe’s boyfriend go. So shameless!] [A biological brother aiding an outsider to bully his own sister. What a jerk ||] [Let’s not forget. There are two biological brothers. Jamar is just as bad.] [I can only say these four are truly disgusting.]
With the release of these photos, no one believed that Reece and Sienna were just friends anymore. Soon, Reece, Sienna, Jamar, and Leon found themselves being criticized by netizens.
In the office, Leon and Linda looked at the developments, and this time, they were genuinely frantic. Leon couldn’t hold back any longer and shouted, “What are they doing?”
Not only were they privately dining together, but they also engaged in so many ambiguous actions. Now, they had even produced matching couple pendants. “How are we supposed to clean this up!” Leon roared inwardly.
Linda couldn’t quite believe it. “How could this happen? How could they be wearing matching couple pendants!” She had never known about it.
Leon’s face darkened as he said, “I want to ask the same thing. How could they be wearing matching couple pendants?”
