Chapter 7 Online Criticism
Chapter 7 Online Criticism
Shirley had deliberately asked her assistant to reserve a cafe for their discussion. This cafe was well
decorated and more importantly, had good concealment. She was afraid that if too many people see
her, her plan might be given away.
But she didn't expect that she was still encountered by someone. And what's worse, it was Karla's
agent B who saw her. In fact, the decision that Shirley wanted to choose a new actress was confidential
information of company. She intended to give the audience a surprise when the TV series was
broadcast.
Only she and her assistant knew what Shirley was going to discuss with the new actress's agent.
Shirley planned to discuss with the investors in person after she arranged everything.
After the actress and directors were confirmed, Shirley directly took the complete plan to find the
investor. With her eloquence, she was confident to convince the investor to invest. Then there would
have nothing to do with Karla.
However, things didn't go as she wished. It was the second day that Shirley met the new actress's
agent. News about Shirley meeting the new actress agent alone had been exposed on the Internet and
entertainment newspapers, and even video had been posted.
It was not until Shirley's assistant told her in a hurry that she knew this. She opened a website, only to
find the distinct and bloody title that almost pissed her off: The Boss of An Entertainment Company Had
Broken Her Promise with A Popular Female Star, Making the Entertainment Circle Angry!
Shirley opened the video and found that everyone could recognize Shirley as long as he was not blind.
She could even hear her voice clearly. Obviously, this popular female star was referring to Karla.
After watching the video, she found that the comments below were even more infuriating. Usually,
when it came to this kind of thing, there would definitely be a lot of keyboard men and slanders.
"The editor is so euphemistic by using the expression of " the boss of an entertainment company".
Judging from her profile and voice, this is certainly Shirley. I didn't expect her to be so shameless!"
"I heard from the first floor that it's really Shirley. She's really stupid. How could she be found doing
such a thing? Ha ha."
"Poor Karla! She trust Shirley so much. I didn't expect that she would cheat Karla. Who recorded this? I
really hope Karla can see this video as soon as possible. Don't be kept in the dark by this bad woman."
"Where are Karla's fans?! We must seek justice for Karla! !"
There were more comments and more offensive words.
At the same time, Karla was also watching the video and reading the comments. Karla was very proud
to see that all the netizens supported her and criticized Shirley.
As soon as she finished watching the video, Shirley's phone rang. The word "investor" appeared on the
screen. Shirley braced herself to answer it, but before she could speak.
"Shirley, what's going on? The Internet is full of news that you broke your promise. Didn't I say that I
would invest only if Karla acts in the drama? Who allowed you to change the actress without my
agreement? ?" Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
"Please don't be angry. Let me explain. My opinion is..."
But before Shirley could explain, the investor interrupted her.
"Don't explain. Don't find any excuse. I am determined and I don't accept anyone except Karla! Now,
you'd better think about how to solve your problem of breaking your promise."
"Du Du..." The investor hung up the phone immediately.
Shirley put her hand on her forehead and sighed, but she told herself, 'Shirley, you can't be defeated!'
She must figure out the ins and outs of the matter.
Looking at her phone, Shirley found that the nickname of the person posted the video was Mr. B, and
he had only posted this one video anonymously. So this was the account he had just applied for. The
purpose was very simple. He wanted to destroy Shirley.
Through the video, it could be seen that this person was sitting behind Shirley. It was also because of
Shirley's carelessness that she did not find anyone recording the video.
Therefore, Shirley decided to go to the cafe to ask. There should be a surveillance video. As long as
she asked the people working in the cafe for it, she would know who wanted to frame her.
If Shirley came to the cafe and directly said that she wanted to watch the surveillance video, they would
definitely not agree. Shirley came up with an idea.
"Hello, I stayed in your coffee shop to deal with my business the day before yesterday. When I left, I
found that my wallet was left here. I didn't find it until today. Did you see it?" Shirley asked the worker in
the cafe politely.
"No, we didn't see it when we were cleaning. I'm sorry." The staff said apologetically.
Shirley used her acting skill and pretended to be anxious, saying, "then what should we do? Many of
my credentials are in my wallet. They are very important to me."
Seeing that Shirley was so anxious that she was about to cry, the waiter couldn't bear it and said, "how
about this? We have a surveillance video in our coffee shop, or we can show it to you. You can check if
someone took it away by accident."
Hearing the waiter's words, Shirley's eyes lit up. That was exactly what she wanted.
"Is it inconvenient for you?" Shirley still pretended to be embarrassed.
"It's okay."
As expected, Shirley saw the surveillance video. When she saw clearly, she found that the person
sitting behind her was Karla's agent. Flames of fury were ignited in her eyes and she was angry. It
turned out to be her. She didn't expect that she would get into the trap set by her. It was really a good
play.
Karla refused to act in the TV drama and lost Shirley's face, so Shirley wanted to find a new actress.
But now, she didn't expect that she would be so unlucky to meet her agent, and Karla made a false
countercharge. Now she made a fool of herself in the entertainment circle and everyone scolded her for
breaking her promise. Karla played the victim image again.
However, while this matter was not over, there was another incident happening.
Just as everyone was still talking about the video, Karla threw another big bomb.
After watching the video, Karla felt that it was not enough. She needed someone to make a scene, and
that person was herself.
Karla asked her agent to record a video for herself. In the video, Karla said, "Hello, everyone. I'm Karla.
The purpose of this video is to clarify the topic that you are discussing. In fact, Shirley didn't break her
promise on purpose. I was because my schedule is too full. Shirley might not have contacted me and
thought that I couldn't accept this TV series, so she contacted the new actress. In fact, it's not like that.
I'm willing to take part in this TV series, even for the sake of Shirley. I beg you not to blame Shirley
anymore. She did nothing wrong. It's all my fault. I have been too busy. Please don't hurt her anymore.
After all, she is also my best friend."
As soon as the video was released, everyone knew that Shirley was "the boss of an entertainment
company" mentioned before. Just as Karla had expected, Shirley was cursed even worse. She just
wanted to make Shirley never have a chance to make a comeback.
"My Karla is so kind. She even spoke for others when she is bullied."
"Shirley is so shameless. Karla still treats you as her best friend. How could you do this to her? What a
bitch!"
"Karla, how could you speak for her? She doesn't deserve you to do this to her. Stay away from her, or
you will be destroyed by her."
The comments on the Internet criticized Shirley again.
As soon as Shirley found out who wanted to hurt her in the cafe, she was framed by Karla again. When
she arrived at the company, there were already a group of reporters waiting for her at the gate. Seeing
that Shirley finally showed up, the reporters swarmed over, raising their cameras and microphones and
pointing them at Shirley.
"Miss Shirley, Miss Shirley, why did you betray your good friend, Karla?"
"Miss Shirley, although you broke your promise, Miss Lin, Karla, spoke for you. Is there anything you
want to say?"
Shirley was confused. Who did speak for me? Karla?
The assistant finally helped Shirley out of the crowd and told her to watch the video released by Karla
as soon as possible. After watching the video, Shirley was completely desperate. Facing the huge
public opinion and pressure from the investor, Shirley was forced to almost give up.
Dragging her heavy body back home, Shirley slumped into the sofa, feeling like weeping but had no
tears. Coincidentally, Samuel happened to go back home. He felt a little sorry for Shirley when he saw
her. Samuel was frightened by his thought.
Samuel had heard about what happened today. He also thought it was not appropriate for Shirley to
contact the new actress in private without discussing with Karla, and thought that Karla was really kind.
But when he saw the curses on the Internet, he felt that a girl should not have born so much. Moreover,
she just wanted to restore her father's company as soon as possible. She couldn't help but care about
her.
"Hey! Are you all right? Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine." Said Shirley, gritting her teeth.
"I advise you to ask for Karla's forgiveness. Although you did something wrong, I think a kind girl like
Karla will forgive you. Besides, she said she was willing to act in your TV series. Why did you make
such a mess?" Samuel was still defending Karla, which made Shirley's heart ache. Now she finally
understood why the supporting actress in the book hated Karla so much.
"Yes, yes. In your eyes, Karla is an angel and I am just a pile of mud on the ground, okay? Please don't
talk to me anymore. Go ahead with your work." Shirley thought if she continued to listen to what
Samuel said, she would be so angry that she might die on the spot. She needed some time to calm
down and think about a strategy. Otherwise, she would end up like the result of the female supporting
role in the original novel——in the end, she would be ruined by Karla and would never go back home.
No, she would never let this happen.
Seeing that Shirley was so unreasonable, Samuel didn't want to say anything more to her. When he
went back to work in the study, he felt sorry for her again. 'She was pitiful? What's wrong with my
brain?' He thought.
