Chapter 197


    The entertainment industry is just tooplicated.


    Sometimes, to achieve their own goals, people don’t hesitate to drag others down with. them.


    Ethan had just recently made it to the trending topics because of Sasha’s live broadcast. Right on his


    heels, someone took covert photos of Sasha, trying to gather scandalous. material on her to use


    against him.


    In recent years, Ethan’s rise had been meteoric. As the designated spokesperson for the Thysha


    Corporation and a recipient of an acting award, his status in the industry was soaring.


    However, even with his exceptional talents, it didn’t mean he was without rivals.


    Many were eager to knock him off his pedestal, waiting to sn atch his resources and ultimately rece


    him.


    But Ethan was exceedingly cautious, virtually scandal-free. Pap araz zi had followed him for half a year


    without capturing anything as trivial as him smoking, let alone any romantic scandal.


    Ethan, only 27, lived like a seasoned veteran-leading a disciplined life, almost monastic in his habits,


    making him virtually immune to


    rumors.


    Unable to find any real dirt on him, his detractors had to resort to fabricating stories.


    Ethan’s recent heroic act had gained considerable attention, providing a perfect angle to work from.


    Rumors began circting online, painting Sasha as a woman of loose morals, willing to do anything for


    money. It was suggested that for someone of Ethan’s status, it would be no surprise if Sasha tried to


    ensnare him.


    With the photo of Sasha walking drunkenly with a strange man still trending, people began specting


    that Ethan was also involved with her. The most outrageous part was that many actually believed such


    absurd gossip.


    Ethan’s immature fans were causing a stir in the fan forums, talking about unfollowing him, which was


    quite astonishing to see.


    Upon learning the truth, Calista frowned slightly. [So, you’re saying all of this is fabricated, and Sasha


    might rify it all soon?]


    The private detective replied swiftly: [It’s hard to rify things in such a case. The

    Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g


    public has already linked her with Ethan. Producing evidence to prove their innocence will be really


    difficult.]


    Mostizens didn’t care about the truth; they just wanted to join in the excitement. Learning about the


    alleged affair between Ethan and Sasha, they cursed a bit and then lost interest.


    Ethan’s rivals, however, seized this opportunity to spread rumors and even sent


    messages to the Thysha Corporation’s official blog, hoping to get Ethan dropped from his endorsement


    deal.


    The online turmoil was intense, but Calista knew that clearing up such news wouldn’t be too hard for


    Lester.


    This meant that Sasha’s reputation could potentially be restored and might even improve due to the


    sympathy gained from this misunderstanding.


    Jameson would eventually learn the truth, and instead of letting him pity Sasha, Calista decided to use


    this opportunity to endear herself to him.


    She casually dismissed the private detective and sent the original photos she obtained to Jameson.


    [Jameson, I believe Sasha isn’t that kind of person. Everyone has misunderstood her.]


    [I specifically asked someone to get these pictures. Everyone has been misled by the paid ounts.


    Lestie and Timothy were also there. They definitely wouldn’t let Sasha do anything inappropriate.]


    After sending these messages, Calista didn’t receive a response from Jameson. After some thought,


    she sent another message, saying: [Do you think I should go online and help rify things?]


    This time, Jameson finally didn’t ignore her and replied with two words: [No need.]
