Chapter 357: How Blind Can You All Be?
Her teammates at the side immediately shook their heads. Eileen Scott was asking for it again!
But what could they do? She had powerful backers and connections.
Backed by Stellaris and the Sheffield Family, she wasn’t afraid of the consequences of her actions.
It just sucked for them, having to get dragged down with her.
Knowing they couldn’t talk Eileen Scott out of it, they decided to just let her be.
Thanks to Eileen Scott’s stunt, the livestream’s view count actually started to climb. It had been hovering at just over a thousand viewers, peaking at a few thousand at most. Compared to the other groups, these numbers were frankly pathetic.
The livestream’s view count kept rising, but most of the new viewers were just there to flame Eileen Scott.
Her attitude and the general vibe she gave off during the livestream made her seem like an extremely unlikable person.
The live chat was flooded with comments accusing her of clout-chasing, saying she was desperate for fame.
"You all dare to flame me? Fine, I’ll show you something right now, and then you’ll know what kind of person Melody Monroe really is!" Eileen Scott pulled out her phone, which had several photos on it.
The person in the photos was herself. She had taken them after Melody Monroe had beaten her, and the injuries on her face were clearly visible!
"Melody Monroe did this! And my agent was attacked by her people and hospitalized! They’re still in the hospital right now, completely unable to move!"
"I was beaten this badly, and I’m still expected to just take it! The show’s director even came to warn me, telling me to compromise!"
"Why don’t they go after Melody Monroe? Isn’t it just because she has powerful backers? It’s an open secret, but I’m not allowed to talk about it! If she had the guts to do it, why is she afraid of people finding out? How can she still have the audacity to care about her reputation after doing something so despicable?"
"Melody Monroe is a bitch—the queen of all bitches! How blind can you all be to be so completely fooled by her?!"
"You’ve probably never witnessed the schemes she uses to get ahead. Playing innocent, acting pitiful... Raymond Ford was way more popular and experienced than her and had been with Rose Shaw for one or two years. But the moment Melody Monroe arrived, Rose Shaw dropped Raymond Ford. Just look at what happened to Raymond Ford, and you’ll see how vicious Melody Monroe truly is!"
"Do you dare to check her real academic record? Calling her a ’top student’? Does she even deserve that title?!" Eileen Scott grew more and more agitated as she spoke. If she weren’t on a live broadcast, afraid of being recorded and having it used as evidence, she would have started screaming obscenities.
"What’s even the point of this show? You all go around praising it for being so ’real’ and ’unconventional’! It’s all just a setup! If you take it seriously, you lose. If you believe any of it, you’ve been scammed!"
Eileen Scott continued her wild tirade on the livestream, and with her words, she effectively negated all of Melody Monroe’s efforts up to that point.
Everything seemed arranged, as if acted out from a script.
The fact that Eileen Scott dared to be so confrontational made some people believe there was a kernel of truth to her words.
Considering the past incidents that had come to light about Melody Monroe, it did seem plausible that she had the resources to hire an entire production team to craft her image. Those blueprints for the little bamboo house? Maybe Melody Monroe didn’t draw them at all; perhaps the production team had prepared them beforehand.
When conspiracy theories take hold, everything starts to look like a conspiracy.
Raymond Ford and Rhona Hughes had been keeping a close eye on Melody Monroe’s show. Melody Monroe hadn’t been able to land any acting roles, so Rose Shaw had used her connections to get her a spot on this program.
Neither of them had expected Melody Monroe to blow up like this. She was now more famous than both of them!
Taking advantage of her free time over the past few days, Raymond Ford had been visiting Rhona Hughes frequently.
Rhona Hughes had replaced her as the female lead. And even though it had been Mrs. Sterling’s decision, Raymond Ford still harbored a simmering rage in her heart.
