Chapter 25
Eileen said with a stone face, Zip it, I’m already regretting this. I’ve showered three times this morning,
yet I still feel filthy. What more do you want from me?”
Phyllis turned around, clinging onto Bblythe, and started to sob.
Although Bblythe felt helpless, she was also somewhat relieved. Looking at Phyllis now, it seemed like
she had forgotten about last night’s incident. But Bblythe knew that wasn’t the case. Phyllis was just
bearing it all alone.
Earlier, while packing their bags, Phyllis had filled her in.
PrismPulse Entertainment had released a statement, issued proof of Kenley’s injuries, and hired a
bunch of well–known bloggers.
According to the statement, PrismPulse Entertainment claimed that Kenley did not assault Phyllis.
Instead, Phyllis was stuck in love and thus framed Kenley
And Eileen and Egbert were just pawns being used by Phyllis to attack Kenley.
After the statement was released, many netizens didn’t believe it, but what could they do? After all,
Phyllis didn’t call the police last night.
PrismPulse Entertainment even twisted the facts, fabricating negative news about Phyllis such as she
had an abortion in high school, was obsessed with a guy, and when he rejected her, she set his house
on fire, forcing him to drop out of school and relocate to avoid her. They painted Phyllis as a crazy
woman
Now the internet was blowing up. Many people saw Phyllis‘ miserable state last night and were angrily
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtaccusing Kenley of being heartless. But at the same time, a lot of people were misled into believing that
this was all drama created by Phyllis herself.
There were numerous so–called “high school classmates” and “primary school classmates” of Phyllis
online, who without any evidence, started to smear
her.
In less than seven hours, there were already tons of comments online sympathizing with Kenley for
being harassed by a crazy woman”
At first, it was just Kenley’s fans defending him, but gradually, people who didn’t care about this matter
also joined in. Their viewpoint was, “If only one person says Phyllis is a bad person, I wouldn’t believe
it. But when so many people say it, I really need to reconsider”
Those who were not following the matter were being misled.
This morning, PrismPulse Entertainment called Phyllis to threaten her. If she continued to criticize
Kenley, her future would be ruined.
Phyllis firmly responded to PrismPulse Entertainment, saying she would rather leave the entertainment
industry than do this.
Because of this, she didn’t quit the show recording today. As she said, she had to finish recording. After
this episode was over, she completely broke up with PrismPulse Entertainment and Kenley. She was
not sure if she could win this battle, but by then, as someone who still had a ten–year contract with the
company, she was destined to fade into obscurity in the entertainment industry.
Phyllis felt very unwilling and regretful. She should have listened to Eileen last night and called the
police. Now it was too late, just like Eileen said, the best time to manage a PR crisis was within an hour
of the incident.
They were already seven hours behind PrismPulse Entertainment, which was enough to ruin Phyllis‘
future in showbiz.
Phyllis cried heartbreakingly, her pretend crying had turned into real sobbing.
Bblythe felt terrible. “Let’s find a place to sit down. We can’t just stand in front of the hotel.”
They all walked on silently. Egbert was the last one. One hand in his coat pocket, the other pushing a
suitcase, his expression had been cold since
morning
Eileen turned her head to sneak a peek at Egbert. This was the sixth time she had looked at him today,
but he still ignored her. So she stopped and waited for him to come over.
When he walked past her, Eileen immediately moved closer to him. His face was still expressionless,
his eyes full of indifference.
“Mr. Reed, Eileen called him softly. She usually didn’t address Egbert this way, but now, she was very
respectful.
Egbert still ignored her.
“Please don’t be mad,” Eileen said cautiously.
Egbert moved to the other side to get away from her. Eileen quickly moved closer to him again. “I was
wrong yesterday. The situation was too urgent. I just blurted out those words without thinking. I
apologize.”
Finally, his indifferent gaze turned to her. “You were wrong? I think you were very serious.”
“How can that be?” Eileen quickly responded. “I was just talking nonsense yesterday. How could you
be like Kenley? You’re noble, but he’s despicable He’s not even worth comparing to you”
Egbert didn’t reply again.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEileen continued, “In that situation, you were still pulling me, so I was just being impulsive…”
“You don’t need to explain,” Egbert suddenly cut her off.
Eileen looked at him.
“I don’t care what you think” After saying that, he walked away
Eileen followed him, sighing deeply. This guy was really hard to please. She really didn’t mean to say
those things.
In the end, they all sat in a row on the public seats at the bus station.
Everyone was silent until Eileen suddenly said, “Let’s rest for three minutes, then keep going”
Everyone looked at her. Was she implying that she was going to take over as team leader again?
[Want to know what Egbert and Eileen talked about in the back]
– [Their conversation didn’t seem very pleasant|
– [Could Eileen stop clinging to Egbert all the time?]
– [Can some people shut up? They’re just having a normal conversation. How can you guys make it
sound so dreadful?]
-I think Egbert and Eileen have a pretty decent relationship. Just yesterday morning they were having
breakfast together and strolling around town. They’re just regular teammates, no need to be so touchy
about it.]
–[Look, Eileen is going to be the team leader again! I’m rooting for her!]
– [But they’re broke, how can she take the lead again? What about their accommodation issues?]
– [Is she going to find another B&B on the brink of closure to stay at again? She’s got her phone out,
could it really be happening?]
– [Nah, there can’t be that many B&Bs about to go under in this country. Even if there were, it’s not like
they’d let you stay for free]
Three minutes later, Eileen hung up the phone and told everyone, “Let’s roll”
