Triumph Above All novel

Chapter 639 Another 999 Years

Belinda rebuked peevishly, "Twitter headline? Isn't that a good thing? What's the big deal?"

Peach shouted in a worried tone, "No, everyone is scolding you!"

"Let them reprimand! Even bad publicity is useful publicity. Being ignored rather than criticized is the worst thing that can happen to a celebrity. What else is there to surprise me since I've worked in the entertainment industry for so long and have already encountered numerous strong winds and high tides?"

Belinda seemed quite pleased with herself. From the way she saw it, all that mattered was that she was getting attention. Once everyone was done criticizing her, she could clarify things and gain even more attention.

Peach was sweating profusely from her anxiety. She said, "No, no, no, it's different! Videos of you purposefully giving that young girl zero points are widely available online. You are receiving criticism from everyone on the internet.

"Some crazy fans even dug up all of your previous scandals. For instance, your history of working in a club in Kley City and the fact that you slept with an investor to land a role in a movie All of that is now widely known.

"I received a dozen calls from the brands we collaborate with while you were just taking a bath. They have made public announcements about terminating your endorsement agreements. They intend to sue you for breach of contract and seek a major settlement.

"The PR manager told me this incident had spread far too quickly when I called the office. Even if we used all of the resources available to the company, the situation might not improve. Senior executives have therefore unanimously decided to forgo PR in favor of waiting for things to settle down.

Belinda exclaimed, "What? Give up on PR? Isn't that the same as leaving me to fend for myself?"

She was behaving smugly just now, but she had turned pale with fright. She could not believe that a competition held by the Junior Association could cause such a big uproar. She was in big trouble just for giving a girl a zero.

"What should we do now? How can we just be sitting ducks?"

Belinda began to feel helpless in light of the circumstances.

Peach made an effort to calm down. She sighed deeply and said, "Here's what we can do. You should immediately tweet an explanation of your current thoughts. Then, you must apologize to internet users and acknowledge that you were rigid and upheld your reputation as a straightforward person.

"In addition, I had captured on camera the crazy Lola fans chasing us and hurling rotten vegetables and foul eggs at us while we were in the car. You should definitely tweet about it. Let everyone know that we, too, experienced bullying. In this case, the other party is also at fault. We'll play it by ear with the next step."

"All right, I'll post it now," Belinda said.

Belinda immediately picked up her phone and opened Twitter. However, she was no longer able to post new tweets to the account she had logged into this morning. She discovered a message from the Twitter system when she checked her inbox.
