Phoenix Rising: From Heartache to Heroism

Chapter 481 Blacked Out

'It might not be that he was paid off. Maybe it was a hoax or the paparazzo got threatened? Afraid of a lawsuit, he deleted his account and disappeared.' 'This is so boring. These random allegations with just a letter of a name. Are they just playing with us?'

'I'll never trust these gossip accounts again. Ridiculous!'

Unaware netizens were furious with the paparazzo.

However, those in the industry knew very well that Lydia's team had likely reached an agreement with the paparazzo for a price.

Sometimes, celebrities with bad luck are relentlessly pursued by paparazzi.

Lydia had previously paid a few hundred thousand dollars to buy back some compromising photos.

This time, she probably spent a lot of money again.

If Lydia had a company, they might have helped her handle this. But Lydia didn't have a company anymore-she had started her own studio.

Although she was previously poached, she did not sign a contract with any other company.

While gaining freedom from contracts, she had to bear the consequences.

Even though the paparazzo had deleted his account, the trending search stayed at the top.

Netizens weren't easily fooled; the buzz would persist for days, even if there were no follow-ups.

If no bigger scandal came along, this could become ingrained in people's minds.
