Chapter 329: A Lesson
Netizens soon noticed that while the show’s official account had reposted it, Adela Armstrong and the others had not reposted Chloe Sinclair’s post.
[Maybe they haven’t seen it? Or maybe there’s no signal in the mountains, so the internet is slow. Let’s just wait and see?]
[They should all be together right now, shouldn’t they? How could they possibly not have seen it? But I’m more curious why Adela Armstrong didn’t repost it.]
After all, when Gabriel Sinclair had made his official announcement, she was the first to repost it.
Conspiracy theories flew online as everyone speculated about the power dynamics involved.
「Yarrow Province, the village elementary school」
Zoe Taylor felt a pang of worry as she read the online discussions.
Her standing in the industry just wasn’t as high as Adela Armstrong’s, so she had to avoid directly confronting her, no matter the issue.
With Chloe Sinclair having made a post and Adela Armstrong refusing to share it, of course the rest of their group didn’t dare to either.
But Chloe Sinclair’s fans and casual observers were raising a huge storm online. If they didn’t respond, the situation was bound to blow up in their faces soon.
She didn’t have many projects to her name and couldn’t seem to land any good roles.
If she took one more wrong step, there would be no place for her in the entertainment industry for years to come.
"Adela, why don’t we just repost Chloe Sinclair’s message?"
After she finished, the others who had come with Zoe Taylor put on long faces and nodded repeatedly. "That’s right. Chloe Sinclair’s fans are already upset, and our own fans are sending us more and more private messages."
If we don’t respond, we’ll probably face a backlash.
It would be one thing if Chloe Sinclair had no backing. The problem was, her connections were solid, and no one dared to challenge her directly.
More importantly, Chloe Sinclair had great public appeal. Her fans tended to be highly educated and sharp; they could instantly identify the core of an issue and bring it into the open.
Just like with this current post, Chloe Sinclair’s fans were the ones who had raised many of the questions.
Now the questions were becoming increasingly pointed, and if they didn’t respond, even their own fans would likely get upset.
"If you want to repost, then just do it. Am I stopping you?"
Adela Armstrong’s face darkened as she watched how spineless they were being.
Although the situation hadn’t completely blown up, it had already spiraled beyond her expectations.
’How could someone with barely any projects to her name have more fans than me!’
"Hmph. She’s just a little girl. Does she really think she’s the queen of the entertainment industry?"
The others saw the fury in Adela Armstrong’s eyes and were momentarily rendered speechless.
Ultimately, under Adela Armstrong’s disbelieving gaze, everyone reposted Chloe Sinclair’s post.
Instantly, Adela Armstrong was put under the public spotlight.
[What’s wrong with Adela? Everyone else has shared the post. Why is she the only one who hasn’t?]
[Adela probably just hasn’t seen it. I heard she’s always helping out with work on the set.]
[Right? And then you have a certain someone who, despite how busy everyone is, still found time to post. I just can’t.]
[Sigh, she’s the daughter of the richest man in Kennet, after all. It’s only natural for someone so pampered to slack off.]
[Please, if you’re going to be on the show, you have to do what’s required. If you can’t handle the work, then don’t come at all!]
On Adela Armstrong’s social media page, some of her fans began to derail the conversation.
A smug smile spread across Adela Armstrong’s face as she watched.
Just then, her phone rang.
A glance at the screen revealed it was her agent calling.
Adela Armstrong quickly answered the call, a fawning expression on her face. Before she could even speak, she was met with a verbal barrage from her agent.
"Adela, do you even want a career in the entertainment industry anymore?!"
"Chloe Sinclair might not have many projects, but her buzz in the industry is higher than yours ever was at your peak."
"It’s bad enough you won’t show Chloe Sinclair any respect, but you’re going to disrespect Gabriel Sinclair too?"
Adela Armstrong was so stunned by the shouting that she froze, unable to speak for a long moment.
