tilting her head to the side. Thomas took a sneak shot of her, with only half of her face showing

this was all planned well in advance. She even suspected that Thomas had orchestrated this entire public
relations storm.
Meanwhile, Zoe still used her alternate account to stir up trouble, attacking Sharon personally. (It must've been
Sharon who seduced Thomas. That tramp is capable of anything]
When Zoe posted that, she saw Thomas' tweet and her whole world crashed. She thought, They made it official?
How is that even possible? Those words sounded eerily familiar-weren't they the lines from the scene we
rehearsed during the audition" To top it off. Thomas added a few more words, clarifying that "I was the one who
pursued her."

repost with insults. You don't deserve to be with Thomas. Who knows how many men you've been with.

The official account of With Love as My Cause posted a statement on Twitter and tagged Zoe and Sharon in the
post.
Thank you to actress Zoe Holloway for your feedback. After careful consideration, the "With Love as My Cause"
team has decided to host a live-streamed audition this Saturday morning. We cordially invite Zor and Sharon to
participate, with the lead actress selected through live audience voting to ensure fairness and transparency.
Zoe was utterly dumbfounded. She thought, What? They're playing it like this now?"
If Zoe accepted the invitation to the live audition, Sharon would absolutely wipe the floor with Zoe in terms of
acting skills, leaving Zoe to embarrass herself in front of everyone. But if Zoe didn't show up, people would
definitely drag Zoe through the mud for it. Zoe was trapped.
All Zoe wanted was to get back at the production team and slam Sharon. She didn't know how this ended up
backfiring
her
Zoe, Ive already accepted the invitation on your behalf. You can do the live-streamed audition against Sharon,
and we'll see who the fans support After all, Zoe had far more followers than Sharon.
Zoe shot a vicious glare at her assistant. "Are you out of your mind?" If she went, she'd just be walking right into
humiliation "Cancel it immediately. Findsother work. Announce that | have prior engagements and no
tto attend."
The assistant, though confused, had no choice but to follow Zoe's orders.
As soon as Zoe skipped the live-streamed audition, netizens quickly picked up on it.
One commented: [You were given a chance, and you blew it
Another typed: (You claimed there was insider favoritism, but when they gave you a public audition opportunity,
you didn't show Clearly, you've been lying this whole time.]
People even began comparing Zoe and Sharon's acting performances side by side. Soon enough, Zoe found
herself trending for all the wrong reasons.
Ophelia, seeing the buzz reach its peak, gave the signal. "Post the video."
Silverline Media promptly uploaded a video. It was footage Ophelia had secretly instructed her assistant to
record during the second audition round. This time, the netizens exploded.
One commented: [Wow, I've never seen anyone this shameless. She can't art to save her life and still accuses
the production team of bias?)
Another added: What even was that performance? Did she think she was summoning ghosts or something! She
looked like she was moved to tears by her own terrible acting |
Snetizens even tracked the IP address of the account that had been slandering Sharon, only to find it
matched Zoe's exactly
One commented: [They auditioned together, but she tried to spin it like they were caught leaving a hotel
together? This woman has serious ulterior motives |
Another added: JAnd she had the nerve to hug Thomas.]
One remarked: [Ugh, gross. Thomas, disinfect yourself quick. Sharon, cprotect your man]

Zoe's agent stormed into the room, throwing a stack of documents in her face. "The company invested so much
into promoting you, and look at what you've done. Forget about those variety shows we secured for you. You're
not going anymore. Apologize online right now, or you can kiss your career goodbye."
Zoe posted a lengthy apology in no time, which somewhat managed to quell the outrage.
Gradually, fans began to accept Sharon and Thomas as a couple They started flocking to their Twitter accounts,
scavenging for any signs of affection, even speculating that the two had started dating when they left their
former agency together.
In the evening, while driving back to Rosewood Manor, Ophelia received a call from Chloe. "Elia, Eric hasn't been
back to the apartment for three days. Did he mention anything to you?"
"No," Ophelia replied, her foot pressing on the brake as the light turned red. A faint sense of unease crept into
her. She knew Eric wouldn't stay out of trouble.
Chloe continued, "I checked the security footage. He left the stuthat afternoon over the weekend and never
returned. He's a master at avoiding surveillance. The last the was caught on camera was at the Avalon Port
Dock." Ophelia thought. For Chloe to call means she sensed something was seriously wrong. The Avalon Port
Dock... Why does this place sound so familiar? She said, "Alright, I'll go check it out."
Chloe said, "Cpickup. I'll go with you."
Ophelia glanced at the rearview mirror, aware that Caleb was following her. "No need. I've got someone watching
my back. You need to stay with Wyatt. Don't worry."
After hanging up with Chloe, Ophelia immediately dialed Eric's number, only to hear a cold, automated message-

Ophelia made a sharp turn at the next intersection without hesitation, heading straight for Avalon Port Dock.
However, Ophelia didn't know that as Caleb tried to follow, another car cut in front of him, blocking him at the
intersection. By the tthe traffic light changed, Ophelia's car had already disappeared from sight. 1541 Tue,
