Cruel or heartless, call her what you will, but if she hadn’t prepared the cameras and audio in advance, she’d be the one drowned in the internet’s spit by now.
And there were other enemies behind her, Thomas being one of them. When the time comes, she’ll be surrounded. These people would crush her like an ant.
She doesn’t feel an ounce of pity for Filippa and Sebastian. Every action has consequences, and they brought it upon themselves. If you choose to act, you must be prepared to face the consequences and pay the price.
Her luggage from Bankshire was minimal, easily packed. Her flight was scheduled for 4 p. m., still five hours away.
Elisa unlocked her phone. She clicked on a notification, leading her to the live stream page for Filippa’s press conference. However, the focus had shifted from two people to just one.
Sebastian bowed his head to the camera, “I sincerely apologize to Elisa. I was the one who altered the script, it had nothing to do with anyone else.”
Reporters interjected, “When you say it had nothing to do with anyone else, are you referring to Filippa?”
Sebastian nodded, “Filippa knows nothing. I completely manipulated her, including this press conference and the idea of stirring up the CP hype.”
“Why did you secretly change the script and falsely accuse Elisa?”
“I wanted to suppress her. She was in Filippa’s way, and also, her acting threatened me. I feared losing to her in front of the audience.”
The reporters pressed, “So you admit you’re not as good as Elisa?”
Sebastian confessed, “Yes, I’m not as good as her. Her acting is excellent. She can flawlessly carry on even without knowing the plot. I believe she’s the only one in the entire production team who can do that. I acknowledge her superiority. Similarly, I am fully aware of how despicable my methods were. I have decided to withdraw from the show, and I will compensate the production team for the breach of contract.”
“Can you elaborate on your relationship with Filippa?”
“I was pursuing her, but I’ve only burdened her in this matter. I’m no longer worthy of having any relationship with her.”
……
Elisa put down her phone upon reading this. As she suspected, when she rehearsed lines with Sebastian earlier, she had already sensed that there was more to Filippa and Sebastian’s relationship. Sebastian was completely under Filippa’s control.
If anything happened to Filippa, he would undoubtedly be the first to shield her. If he’s not afraid of a knife, why would he fear his reputation?
Filippa had cut her losses in time, but Sebastian’s honest image had collapsed. His future path might not be smooth, but he has always had a laissez-faire attitude, and his fans primarily admire his acting.
……..
Filippa stared at the live broadcast until Sebastian made his position clear, finally letting out a sigh of relief.
She took out her phone and scrolled through the trending comments. Although many netizens still disbelieved, her fans believed and began to organize to control the comments.
Controlling the comments was undoubtedly a diversion, shifting the focus onto Sebastian. Watching her fans curse Sebastian, she knew that although being unjustly accused was intolerable, it was still better than being relentlessly attacked herself.
Filippa then switched her Twitter account to a secondary one and began to post.
“Elisa is a despicable person, a slut. She seduces any man, she lured Louis in the show team, and on the day of the performance, Louis even went to the dressing room just to see her. On the day of the script incident, there were reporters waiting outside the hotel the whole night, but they never saw Elisa return to the hotel. She must have gone to a hotel room with Louis!” As soon as she posted this from her secondary account, it immediately gained an overwhelming amount of likes and comments. The number of readers quickly surpassed ten million. It wouldn’t be long before it reached a billion.
Louis’ fans were extremely fervent. They tried to report her and block her from the platform, but the tweet was too popular to be taken down. On top of that, Filippa paid to promote it.
Louis had a huge amount of traffic and attention, any news about him would easily get tens of millions of views. But in less than half an hour, the post from Filippa’s secondary account had already gained over fifty million views and was trending.
“How can you spread rumors about Louis? He’s clean, how could he possibly like a woman like Elisa!”
“How can you tell that Louis likes Elisa? When Elisa performed on stage, he clearly kept his head down, as if he was repelled.”
“Spreading rumors is illegal, be cautious with your words, blogger.”
“The costof spreading rumors is really low, you can just spout nonsense without any consequences.”
“After a careful assessment, the blogger is clearly insane.”
The fans didn’t believe it. Most of the general public didn’t believe that Louis would be interested in Elisa.
But Filippa’s secondary account was usually used to leak and comment on various gossip within the industry. Everything she had posted before had been entirely true, so she had accumulated quite a following of people who wanted to see her leaks.
“I don’t care if you believe it or not, I believe the blogger’s posts. Don’t forget, everything the blogger posted before was completely true.”
“It’s obvious that you’re an industry insider, either a staff member of the production team or a guest invited by the production team.”
“The house has collapsed.”
