?<strong>Chapter 443:</strong>
“Previously, you said you’d given up on ‘Weekend Party,’ and I’ve been trying to figure out a more fitting moment to reveal your pseudonym, Katrina Spencer, to the public. But who knew such a chance would arise so suddenly?”
Carrie, puzzled, inquired, “What are you implying?”
With a sly smile, Soren suggested, “Take a look at Twitter.”
At the mention of Twitter, Carrie instinctively responded, “Oh no, please don’t say I’m trending again?”
Overhearing this as he left the makeup room, Asher chuckled and said, “Carrie, you’re truly cut out for showbiz. I’ve been around for years, yet I’ve never trended as often as you, and each time it’s a huge uproar.”
A thought struck Carrie, and she questioned, “This isn’t rted to the giarism controversy, is it? I recently adopted a new pen name for a drama script, and halfway through, usations of copying Katrina surfaced. Before I had the chance to rify, I was blocked.”
Soren simply nodded in affirmation.
Leaning closer, Asher whispered intriguingly, “Do you know who purchased that script?”
Carrie shook her head, admitting, “I didn’t look into that detail.”
Soren replied, “It was Lise.”
At the mention of Lise, memories of past perplexing maneuvers from the scriptpany came flooding back to Carrie, helping pieces fall into ce.
She retrieved her phone, which was set on “Do Not Disturb.” Having not checked Twitter for a while, when she finally opened it, she was bombarded by a wave of notifications. It took her five minutes just to get through to the main screen.
The headline dominating Twitter read, “Carrie Katrina giarism.”
Both Lise’s and Katrina’s fans wereunching a fierce online assault. Given the delicate nature of giarism, even neutral observers were joining the fray, making the bacsh overwhelmingly negative.
The gossip ounts spread rumors that Lise had purchased a script, only to discover it was giarized from Katrina. To everyone’s shock, the giarist turned out to be a female celebrity who had recently been making waves on social media. The gossip didn’t mention Carrie by name, but it strongly hinted at a female star with ast name starting with “W” who was moonlighting as a screenwriter and had giarized the renowned writer Katrina.
The clues painted a clear picture, pointing to a neer filming with a top actor whosest name started with “B,” almost revealing Carrie’s identity. Thements were as cruel as expected. Carrie skimmed through them quickly before logging out of Twitter. She then turned to Soren and asked coolly, “Should I exin things from Katrina’s ount?”
What she hadn’t anticipated was that it was Lise who had bought the script. Carrie sighed, realizing that sometimes life was even stranger than fiction. Maybe in another life, it wasn’t Kristopher she was tangled up with, but Lise instead.
Soren nced at Carrie. “Let’s just sit tight and see how this ys out.”
Asher grinned slyly and leaned forward, saying, “Business is business, right? Mr. Rodgers is just trying to cut down on publicity costs.”
