Chapter 986: Chapter 986: Focusing on Personal Development_1
"Sunny Lee, how could you be so stupid? I didn’t tell you to say those things; what do you have to do with me?"
She gripped the phone tightly, her voice trembling, "If it wasn’t for you, how could I have possibly fallen out with Hannah Winter."
"Sunny Lee, don’t push everything onto me. If you had truly considered Hannah Winter a friend, how could you have turned against her just because of a few words of provocation from me?"
Sunny bit her lip, her subconscious explanations as if to convince herself, but all that came out was, "You’re talking nonsense!"
Tiffany Lynch let out a disdainful laugh, taunting, "Look at you, how pitiful. Whether it’s Lucy Taylor or Christopher Lee, anyone who pairs up with Hannah Winter ends up doing well. Tell me, if you hadn’t fallen out with Hannah Winter, maybe you would have become famous by now. It’s all self-inflicted; you had it coming."
After she finished, Tiffany Lynch didn’t wait for any response and hung up the phone directly.
Then she threw her phone aside with disgust, muttering, "Idiot, can’t even handle a trivial matter."
The trending topic was orchestrated by her; she originally thought she could conveniently frame Hannah Winter for "isolating her teammates" through Sunny’s hand.
It wasn’t like there weren’t such cases before; isolation was simply a matter of what people said. As long as they seized the power of discourse first and attracted everyone’s attention, the matter about Hannah Winter would become true, even if it was false.
By then, even if Hannah didn’t go down, she would be skinned.
After all, netizens nowadays love to "stand up for the underdog."
But annoyingly, Sunny was useless.
Fortunately, Tiffany hadn’t really thought that this could cause any substantive harm to Hannah Winter; it was just a preparation for the future, laying the groundwork.
She wanted revenge, and it had to be a direct hit.
Tiffany Lynch had just calmed down when Teresa Gordon called directly.
She notified everyone to return to the company’s headquarters for a meeting.

When Teresa’s call came, Hannah was nestled in a chair going over a script with Hayes Edwards nearby.
Hayes was serious for only a few minutes before he couldn’t help gossiping, "Is your group... what’s it called, Smile 9, really disbanding?"
"I don’t know." Hannah put down the script and looked at Jack Stewart, who was arguing with Teresa on the phone, then she thought for a moment, "Perhaps."
Actually, she had admired Teresa Gordon at first.
She was driven and decisive in her actions, unapologetically ambitious.
It’s just a shame she overlooked one thing.
In a place where the trainee industry isn’t well-developed, Smile 9, as a product of a talent show, could only maximize its value within the talent show.
Although some individuals could use the show as springboard to gain more popularity and exposure, as a team, they were still inadequate.
Indeed, many people watch talent shows, but the contestants each person genuinely likes are only a few, and not everyone can make it into the group.
In such a situation, if the subsequent joint operations don’t keep up, fans will only pay attention to their own idols, not the group as a whole.
Breaking out of the circle is always the biggest problem they face.
Once the talent show ends, naturally the attention dwindles, plus there is no suitable stage, everyone naturally focuses more on their own development.
This sort of logic is, in fact, understood by everyone.
Hayes understands it too.
