Chapter 192


    With those online revtions, Winter found herself under a barrage of attacks from fans and


    keyboard warriors. Some expressed deep disappointment in her while others were furious because


    their own idols had been secretly sabotaged by her.


    Several producers and directors associated with Winter remained collectively silent. Reporters tried


    to reach them but were met with various excuses, pushing Winter further into the eye of the storm.


    The entertainment industry had always been a ce where the ones at the top were praised and


    the ones at the bottom were trampled upon. In response to the scandal, Winter’s management


    companyunched an emergency public rtions campaign, insisting that she had been framed


    and that the allegations


    were untrue.


    However, just a day after the PR statement was released, a small magazine leaked some risqué


    photos of Winter. In the photos, she appeared to be only 17 or 18. It was when she had just entered


    the entertainment industry.


    This release rendered herpany’s PR efforts futile. Winter’s managementpany immediately


    sent her home to rest, canceling all her uing work. Brands Winter had been endorsing also


    began terminating their contracts with her.


    The Shaw family home was enveloped in a dark cloud. Winter threw a massive tantrum, sensing


    even the household staff looked at her differently.


    Winter had been holed up at home for two whole days, afraid to go out for fear of being hounded by


    paparazzi and unable to escape their scrutiny.


    In her frustration, Winter smashed anything and everything she couldy her hands on.


    Knowing how upset Winter was, Jade had instructed the household staff to be more attentive. Still,


    it did


    little to ease Winter’s distress.


    She could not understand who was behind her downfall this time.

    Such incidents were all toomon in the entertainment world–less famous stars being


    undermined by more famous ones or rivals sabotaging each other. These conflicts were usually


    subtle, not openly broadcasted like this.


    This attack caught Winter off guard, leaving her no time to respond. The adversary was clearly


    prepared as every time her PR team issued a statement, new scandals emerged immediately.


    If Winter ever found out who was behind this, she would not let them off easily.


    “Winter, please eat something!” Jade urged, watching her daughter waste away. “I made -foods.


    Just try a little.”

    “I don’t want to eat! I’m not hungry!” Winter shouted, pushing Jade’s hand away and sending the


    food crashing to the floor.


    “Winter!” Jade gritted her teeth. “How long are you going to keep this up? Look at yourself! You’ve


    barely eaten in two days, destroying everything the staff brings you. What good does this do?”


    “But Mom, what am I supposed to do? I feel like I’m done for.” Winter had lost a significant amount


    of weight and was genuinely at a loss. “Thepany says they’re giving me a break, but I know


    they’re


    abandoning me. The advertisers are all recing me. Mom, who is trying to ruin me?”
