Chapter 1139: Chapter 1139: Undermining Someone
An account with the ID name "Did I Successfully Steal Someone’s Thunder Today" posted an article titled "Exposing the Unknown True Faces of Some Popular Figures."
The article was quite lengthy, spanning several thousand words. It was richly illustrated with pictures, as the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words.
It directly laid bare how several influencers tried to discredit people after getting rejected during drama castings by bribing journalists to write negative articles about others.
The article also enumerated instances of these individuals acting like divas on previous sets, insulting senior members of the acting circle for not having enough followers to ride on their coattails, and evidence of private fan meet-ups luring fans into spending money on them.
Although all the protagonists in the article were only represented by initials, it wasn’t hard to deduce which influencers they were based on the evidence and timeline provided.
The article concluded with a sentence.
——Performing on camera without any talent, these influencers are hooligans.
All the dark secrets that had been suppressed by money were now clearly listed out, leaving fans at a loss for how to clear the air even if they wanted to.
Moreover, attempting to clarify now would inadvertently prove that their idols were indeed the subjects of the article.
The fans didn’t dare to make a move, and the influencers who were exposed were furiously livid.
They immediately wanted to spend money on PR to pull the trending topic, but as soon as they pulled it down, someone else paid to get it back up—and at double the price.
It was obviously the work of a rich second-generation!
You just can’t outspend them.
This could be said to be the most widespread exposé in the entertainment industry in years, affecting the most people.
——Holy cow, that’s insane, who’s the big shot that posted this? This is a direct confrontation!
——The writer must be a fan of Hannah Winter, right? It’s pretty obvious that they’re standing up for Hannah?
——I had these melons last year, it’s just that the hot search was pulled so quickly, I had melons in the morning but by the afternoon the melon patch had been plowed over. Thankful for someone letting me relive that whole melon feast today.
——I’m beginning to suspect that this account is one of Boss Simmons’ alts.
——Just look at the ID name and you’ll know it’s not one of the boss’ alts, it’s clearly waiting to steal someone’s thunder. But still, I admire this bro’s guts, actually thinking of stealing Boss Simmons’ thunder. I won’t say much, three cups for you, may you go in peace!
Edison Lynch was so scared by the last comment that he threw his phone away, continuously patting his chest to calm down, "Oh my god, oh my god, that scared the hell out of me..."
He was so excited when posting the article that he forgot to switch to a secondary account.
Stealing Arnold Simmons’ thunder?
Sure, self-entertainment is fine, but if it were serious...
He chickened out, he wouldn’t dare; he was only twenty-five this year, yet to experience a world-shattering romance, and he wanted to stay alive.
To stay alive, to stay alive.
As Edison Lynch kept trying to calm himself down, he looked over at his phone that he’d tossed onto the coffee table as if it were Arnold Simmons himself.
Although they were about the same age, Arnold Simmons’ presence was definitely a blow to these lazy rich second-generations.
A blow indeed, and an example set by someone else’s kid!
Emily Lynch walked in with a bowl of instant noodles, and seeing her brother sitting on the living room couch taking deep breaths, she didn’t think much of it and sat down beside him.
She slurped a mouthful of noodles before nudging him with her elbow, "Edison Lynch, have you gone nuts?"
Edison Lynch finally regained his composure, and when he caught the scent of instant noodles, his nose twitched involuntarily.
He let out a hungry belch.
Then he turned his head and gazed longingly at the instant noodles in Emily Lynch’s hand.
Emily Lynch was oblivious to his gaze and continued to speak, "Mom and Dad are abroad again, they sent a message."
