Chapter 1441 Trolls
Cindy felt like laughing whenever she uttered such words. I carry so many burdens with me. Anyone who gets
married to someone like me would only be asking for trouble. How could it be a treat to them?
Ian shifted his gaze to look at her. “Yeah. It’s true.”
She let out a hearty laugh. “I was kidding.” Both of them were starting to get along—their interactions were more
natural now and they no longer felt awkward. Ian turned the TV on and switched to a random channel that
happened to be playing a show that did deep dives into all sorts of gossip within the entertainment industry.
Most of the people in the entertainment industry had things to hide. It wasn’t just the entertainment industry—most
people had dark secrets or nasty experiences. If one truly wished to scrutinize each individual, there wouldn’t be a
person who was completely innocent. However, one’s deeds were magnified when one was in the entertainment
industry. For example, the issues brought up in the TV program that Ian and Cindy were watching wouldn’t be an
issue if a regular individual were to do it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, the celebrities would receive all sorts of snarky and critical comments once their deeds were exposed.
“Tsk. These things don’t have much of an entertainment value, yet the media and press are always keeping an eye
on these celebrities and following them around,” Cindy commented.
Ian nodded. “Yeah.
These people are the ones saying that the local celebrities are ruining the country’s reputation, yet they are the
ones who are coming up with all these reports surrounding the entertainment industry. It’s like they’re shooting
themselves in the foot. I don’t know when I’ll leave this industry. I’ve thought about it, and I don’t think there’s much
of a reason for me to stay here. I feel like all of my actions are being watched—how am I supposed to survive like
this? I just hope that I’ll be able to save up some funds so that I can do what I want to do.” “What do you want to
do?” Cindy turned to look at him. Ian recalled how he used to travel around and perform gigs in different bars. He
was much happier back then. “I’d like to find someone who’s not in the entertainment industry, and I’d like to go
someplace that’s less economically developed with her. I want to live a slow-paced and simple life. That’s all I
want.” After the fight that occurred with Linda in the lounge, it only took half a day for the rumors to spread. It
wasn’t clear where the rumors came from, but the rumors were certainly not reflective of the truth. Instead, the
rumors claimed that Cindy used her position as Ian’s girlfriend to act all haughty and arrogant within the company.
Furthermore, the rumors claimed that Cindy was the one who started the fight with Linda, all because Linda had
made noises and disrupted Cindy’s sleep in the lounge. Some rumors even claimed that Cindy was the one who had
smacked Linda’s assistant in the face. The rumors traveled all around town as if it was the truth. Because of this,
Ian’s fame, which had been diminishing, shot back up once more. However, the attention he received this time
wasn’t exactly positive nor supportive. Apart from Ian’s most loyal fans, who would unconditionally support and
understand anything that Ian or Cindy did, most fans were slightly critical of Ian. The fact that Ian had gotten
famous in such a short period of time made it harder for him to uphold his reputation.
Fortunately, the previous incident with Sena didn’t completely shatter his career. This time, there was definitely
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmsomeone who was starting and fanning the flames in secret. Someone was trying to make things worse for him.
Both Ian and Cindy had already finished their lunch when they saw the news. Cindy was frustrated since the rumors
were not true. How could someone with my status ever overpower someone like Linda? These people are just
following the crowd blindly. All they have to do is think, and they’ll realize that Linda’s the one with the bad temper.
How would she ever allow me to act tougher or above her in any way? Cindy was certain that someone must have
hired trolls to spread these rumors. Other than that, a good number of people had formed groups that were
specifically meant to criticize her. Ian had also received some criticism because of this. Since this wasn’t the first
time Cindy found herself trending, she was able to withstand the pressure a bit better this time round. However,
she still felt rather sad after being boycotted by the majority of the online users. “I don’t need to give the public an
explanation, do I?” Cindy looked at Ian. Ian had just gotten off a call with Hannah, who had spoken to him in a harsh
tone. “Hannah said that she’ll deal with this matter. However, considering the speed at which the media is
spreading these rumors, she’s guessing that there’s someone behind all of this, and it’s not just one party. She
wants us to remain silent for now.”
