Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 834: Chapter 834: Sloane Hawthorne’s Scandal Exposed

But among Sloane Hawthorne’s fans, there are quite a few rational ones.

Especially after the previous organized efforts, many of them are already capable of handling the current situation with ease.

So, after these things were exposed online, the managers of Sloane Hawthorne’s various fan groups instinctively began working on controlling the comments and soothing the fan group members.

Due to timely control, there wasn’t a large-scale phenomenon of losing fans.

The managers of those fan groups were busy calming people down, so they didn’t join the bandwagon.

Except for a few casual fans who turned against them upon seeing these negative revelations, most of Sloane Hawthorne’s fans remained rational, waiting for her statement.

Only...

With this matter having passed a day and Stardust and Sloane Hawthorne still taking no action, those original onlookers and some fans began to faintly believe in it.

[It’s been a whole day..... why haven’t Stardust and Sloane Hawthorne come out to clarify!?]

[Could it be true... maybe the scandal is hammered in, and now Stardust is considering whether to save Sloane Hawthorne.]

[Stardust still values character highly, those thugs obviously aren’t good people, Sloane Hawthorne being friends with them, how good could she be?]

[Waited a day, and in the end, still disappointed!]

[Turned from a fan to a foe, I don’t understand the meaning behind those who are still hanging on.]

[No matter how much discussion there is, shouldn’t they come out and say something?]

As Stardust and Sloane Hawthorne delayed responding to the issues online, certain impatient onlookers and fans started to think of switching from fans to foes.

When these people were wavering, a wave of internet influencers came in, urging those hesitant fans to quit.

[I predicted this situation yesterday when the photos leaked.]

[Sloane Hawthorne’s image collapse might be true, otherwise why would Stardust hold back for so long? I really don’t feel it’s worth it for you guys still holding on; you worked hard to protect someone who’s now hiding.]

[Why maintain someone like this? She’s not worth it!]

With these influencers inciting and encouraging, many younger and less mature fans began to waver.

#Sloane Hawthorne Scandal Confirmed!#

#Sloane Hawthorne Fans Quitting!#

These topics were pushed to the forefront of trending topics by those influencers and some onlookers.

And it has a trend of escalating.

Selena Kensington knew there would be various speculations online, but she didn’t bother with the online opinions.

After receiving a message from Hugh Kensington, she went to the study and turned on the computer.

Then connected to a video call with Hugh Kensington.

Hugh was in his office.

Beside him were Sloane Hawthorne, Tessa Sinclair, and a girl Selena was somewhat unfamiliar with.

Seeing the girl, Selena raised her eyebrows slightly.

She said, "Is it her?"

Hugh nodded, "Yes, it was her who exposed Sloane’s whereabouts to those thugs. But she doesn’t know who instructed her, only that the person promised to give her a sum of money."

After Selena discussed this matter with Hugh, he began to investigate who sold out Sloane Hawthorne’s whereabouts.

He conducted individual checks on Sloane’s agents and assistants.

Eventually, he found the assistant’s recent activities peculiar, and her account mysteriously received a large sum of money.

Hugh somewhat concluded it was this assistant who sold out Sloane’s whereabouts, but lacked evidence to confirm.

So Hugh summoned this assistant today.

The assistant was easily frightened, and after a little probing, she confessed everything.

Selena glanced at the assistant.

The assistant timidly raised her head, met Selena’s gaze, and shivered.

"I... I’m sorry, I was wrong... President Kensington, Miss Kensington, Tessa, Sloane... I just had a momentary lapse! I’m sorry!..." The assistant stammered a series of apologies, shivering slightly.

Selena looked away after glancing at her.

Her voice carried a hint of irrefutable authority, "Since you did it, you must bear the consequences. You’ve breached Stardust’s contract, and after paying the penalty, your fate will still be decided by the security services."

Stardust’s contract for hiring assistants made special mention of explaining the artist’s itinerary.

Assistants cannot disclose the artist’s itinerary to others for any purpose, and even if this doesn’t cause any loss to the artist, a significant penalty must still be paid.

Moreover, the assistant’s actions caused a lot of trouble for Sloane Hawthorne now.

Hearing Selena’s words, a hint of despair flashed across the assistant’s eyes.

Her body couldn’t hold up, and she fell onto the nearby sofa.

The assistant murmured, "I... how can I repay so much penalty..."

Tessa Sinclair, hearing this, glanced at her with disgust, "Knowing you couldn’t afford the penalty, yet still willing to risk everything by selling out Sloane’s whereabouts?!"

Tessa Sinclair hated traitors or betrayal by her artists or those around them; the assistant’s actions undoubtedly crossed her line.

So her face was particularly unpleasant now.

If Selena and Hugh hadn’t noticed and intercepted this matter from the start, if Stardust weren’t so strong, it’s hard to imagine what kind of impact this incident would have had on Sloane Hawthorne.

In today’s entertainment industry, besides focusing on an artist’s professional ability, a considerable emphasis is placed on the artist’s personal traits.

Countless artists have gradually disappeared from the public eye after being exposed for chaotic personal lives, with some having such a significant influence that they are directly banned, unable to reappear in public.

After Tessa Sinclair spoke out, the assistant opened her mouth slightly but finally said nothing.

She sat on the sofa, looking utterly defeated.

Sloane Hawthorne felt neither sympathy nor anger towards this assistant.

To her, although the assistant caused her harm, it wasn’t worth being angry about.

Because she will get what she deserves.

If she were angry over this matter, it indicated she meant something to her internally.

But does this assistant deserve it?

Sloane thought, naturally, she does not.

She didn’t need an assistant who would sell her whereabouts for personal gain.

Like Tessa Sinclair, Sloane Hawthorne also detests traitors.
