Chapter 763 Smear Campaign
Rosaline’s POV:
Juliet did exactly as she said–terminated her contract with Connor’s company.
Finished
She left decisively, but someone like Connor wouldn’t let her go so easily. Soon, news of her contract termination hit the trending list.
Connor hired a bunch of trolls to smear her.
“So she found a new backer and now looks down on her old company?”
“A rookie who just got famous–doesn’t care about making money for the company that raised her. wants out. Isn’t that ungrateful?”
“I didn’t expect this. She looks pretty in pictures, but her character’s questionable.”
The trolls went after Juliet, calling her ungrateful. They even dragged my company into the mess.
ly
The implication? Juliet found a new company and wanted to ditch Haroldene Entertainment for Starplay.
Because of her, Starplay Entertainment started getting hate too. Some clueless netizens jumped on the bandwagon.
In no time, the hate against Juliet snowballed. Her fans couldn’t keep up with the backlash.
As the situation kept escalating, she and I met for dinner to talk strategy.
“Need anything from me? I’m happy to help,” I said. She’s a friend–I’d naturally want to step up.
I hadn’t expected Haroldene Entertainment to be this vile. Hiring trolls against her and dragging my company into it? Way over the line.
“No need,” she said without looking up, her fingers flying over her phone. A moment later, she posted a long tweet with several attached images.
It was evidence. Haroldene Entertainment did nothing to assist her when she faced danger overseas.
Her fans had been watching everything unfold. The moment she posted the evidence, the internet exploded.
This time, public opinion shifted. People turned on Haroldene Entertainment.
Went abroad for work, ran into danger, and the damn company just sat on their hands?
That’s what you call reaping the rewards without doing the work.
Maybe what Haroldene did crossed a line. Even when Connor threw more money at trolls to whitewash the story, it didn’t work.
Most people online felt sorry for Juliet, saying she was just a girl being exploited by her company
A day after she posted the proof of Haroldene Entertainment’s negligence, I retweeted it. I added a short post about our years of friendship. Soon after, Juliet retweeted mine, also adding a caption. Within hours
#LegendaryFriendship” shot up to second place on the trending list.
Finished
Public opinion completely flipped.
Juliet’s issue was resolved, but then something went wrong on Yvette’s side.
Yvette’s health had mostly recovered. Bored of staying home and wanting to earn money, she thought of a variety show I had once recommended.
She got in touch with the show’s director, but when she arrived, the staff wouldn’t let her in. Even after giving her name, they still denied her entry.
She tried calling the director but got shut down cold. They told her she wasn’t on the cast list at all. Yvette was caught off guard and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, she called me, sounding completely wronged.
I rushed over immediately. When I got there, I saw Yvette sitting on the ground, head down, cryin helped her up and comforted her gently.
People were coming and going around the set. After calming her down, I walked straight in, glanced around, and said, “I heard my actress caused some discomfort here? I’m here to apologize on her behalf.”
Start polite–then strike. That had always been my way.
Several directors were lounging in chairs, legs crossed. One of them looked at me and said coolly, “Our cast list doesn’t have your actress‘ name. Ms. Sinclair, maybe you’re mistaken?”
“Is that so? If that’s the case, we must’ve misunderstood. Here’s the contract we signed–take a look.” I tossed it in their direction. It landed on the floor.
Everything on it was crystal clear. Every clause was spelled out. I could tell right away–they were trying to bully a rookie and squeeze something out of her.
Too bad they picked the wrong target.
“So? She’s ours, right?”
The director’s expression changed instantly. They hadn’t expected me to come in swinging like this, straight up using the contract.
He quickly forced a smile. “We didn’t get an intro for your actress, so we didn’t know who she was.”
The other directors jumped in to smooth things over.
“That’s enough. Drop the act. The main investor behind this show is Eclipse Pack! If you’re so bold as to reject our actress, how confident are you that we’ll keep throwing money at this project just to watch it burn?”
With that, I turned and left with Yvette.
With people who have no cy
you don’t go easy.
