Paris’s fans soon changed their tactics under the lead and coaching of Paris’s PR team after they noticed the criticism’s direction was turned bad.
“Paris didn’t have anything to do with our comments, okay?”
“Yeah, Paris’s been sick. She doesn’t know anything about the cyber war. Our fans started the war voluntarily to protect her. She’s innocent and sick. Please leave her alone.”
“It’s our fault. Blame it on us. Don’t harm her.”
As if you could truly make a collection of fake IDs to take responsibility for the comments they left.
“You guys should build a church for Paris Doon. Everyone else is guilty, yet she is the only one virtuous and innocent, eh?”
“Paris’s fandom is a cult.”
“I’m a bit scared. Can Paris’s fans really think with their own brains?”
“They started to accuse Thea without any evidence. It’s not hard to guess that they only think with their toes.”
“Come on, guys. We need to make these bad people admit their mistakes and take back what they said about Thea. But we don’t need to sink as low as them to attack other people.”
“Joke on Best Actress. She just deleted her tweet.”
“Rachel deleted her tweet? LOL, She probably should check before she’s gonna post anything on her Twitter next time. Told you she doesn’t have much of a brain.”
“Guys, don’t attack people. I know Thea’s bullied, but we’re better than that. Let’s not leave a bad impression on people like Paris’s fans did.”
“Someone just posted a long article on Twitter to explain the whole thing. It said, “Thea doesn’t have anything to do with it.”
“HOLY shit! Dylan Makovsky just liked and reposted that tweet!”
“Yay, we got Dylan on our side!”
“The massive fall of Paris Poo.”
Rachel Smith deleted her tweet mocking Thea. All the celebrities who retweeted her post also deleted their reports. After this, they probably learned to be careful when it came to using their influence and power online. But what they had done would never be forgotten, they helped Paris’s fans cyber-bully an innocent girl. They would forever feel shame whenever people brought it up.
Tiffany and Jessica couldn’t stop being awed as they watched the war escalate, “Wow! Thea… Even Dylan has chosen your side, you just won a war against Paris.”
They didn’t show any respect as they said Paris’s name anymore.
For them, Thea was the new queen bee.
Thea was quite surprised herself as well. She thought she was definitely gonna lose at the beginning. She didn’t expect such a turn.
How did that video leak? Did someone record it on-site? But the show forbade people to record during the performance.
That person could have been sued for copyright.
“Thea, why are you so silent? Too happy?” Jessica nudged her with her elbow, “You’re the new queen now.”
It was no doubt a victory. And now, no one would say anything foul to her fans online.
But Thea couldn’t help feeling worried.
She cleared her throat, “I’m not happy or sad. I’m innocent, anyway. I just feel lucky that I have so many great fans.”
Jessica sounded like she envied Thea, “Your fans are so loyal and smart. I wish I had fans like yours.”
Thea smiled coldly, “Thanks to Paris Doon. I wouldn’t know I have so many great fans if she didn’t start the drama in the first place.”
Tiffany and Jessica exchanged a look. Thea was no doubt rising. They both decided secretly that they should get on good terms with Thea. At least, they should never try to mess with her.

“Dylan liked the tweet, the one that mentioned the truth.”
Matt reported, “Sir, the discussions about Thea and Paris are everywhere on the internet. Thea’s fanbase just expanded after this. We got more audiences because of the drama. A lot of people came to watch our show because of Thea. She’s really the savior of our program.” It was hard for Matt to hide the excitement in his voice.
Cody, on the other hand, seemed pretty calm, “Go inform the director to continue the recording. The audiences need more episodes.”
“Yes, sir,” Matt bowed his head a little before leaving the room.
Thomas and Candace happened to walk, “Cody! Thomas told me that you’re gonna sign Dylan into your company. This is great! Why didn’t you tell me?”
Cody arched an eyebrow, “Why should I? It’s not like you can help.”
Thomas looked like he was in great pain when Candace mentioned Dylan’s name. He knew how much Candace liked Dylan.
“Why can’t I help?” Candace frowned, “I know Dylan very well, okay? Maybe he would get soft for a fan when it comes to discussing terms with your company. You just lost a great helper, Cody Bradley!
Get soft for a fan? Thomas didn’t like the fact that Candace was falling head over heels for another man.
He rolled his eyes, “Celebrities only care about money when it comes to terms. You can’t believe that your king would lose money for a fan, can you?”
Candace spun and looked at Thomas sternly.
“What did he say during the meeting, though?” Cody asked.
“He said he didn’t want to babysit rookies for your company. That was his only requirement.” Thomas shrugged.
Most companies would ask their famous artists to collaborate with their rookies, so their rookies would get more attention in public. Dylan was a big star. If he agreed to carry some rookies for the company, the company would make a lot of money.
However, since that was his only requirement, Cody knew he couldn’t say no if he still wanted to sign Dylan.
“Tell Dylan that we agreed. Inform our lawyer to prepare the contract.”
“Cody.” Candace ran over, clinging onto Cody’s arm, “Can I be Dylan’s personal assistant after you signed him?”
Thomas suddenly choked on his coffee.
“No,” Cody smiled at his twin sister.
“You’re so stingy!” Candace stomped her foot and stormed out of Cody’s office.
Thomas let out a long sigh after he made sure Candace was gone, “Thank you, Cody. You’re my best bro.”
“You’re welcome. My kindness comes with a price. And you shall pay with your blood.” Cody threw a folder onto the desk, “Now, leave and do your job.”
Thomas rolled his eyes and stood up from the couch, taking the folder and leaving the office.
