    Chapter 2024


    Amanda briefly looked at her feed before asking, "Has Triss made some enemiestely?"


    Isabel answered, "I don''t think so."


    Ever since that one time several years ago when her career was derailed because she refused the advance of a certain


    businessman, she had been very cautious. Now that her career was finally looking up again, she would not act rashly.


    Amanda spected. "Then this means that somebody is running a smear campaign on her."


    Isabel frowned.


    The entertainment industry may seem morous on the outside, but anyone in the know would tell you that it was very


    treacherous and one had to watch their back at all times. Even though Triss was never one to stir conflict, someone must be


    envious of her sess and wanted to ruin her.


    “Let her management team deal with it, don''t worry about it." Amanda advised kindly.


    Isabel did not respond. She went to the chat group between her, Triss, and Ramona.


    The group was usually very quiet, so there was not much activity going on most of the time.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Isabel sent a message to the group, "What''s with the news I’ve been seeing online? Triss, have you got into trouble with anyone


    lately?”


    As soon as she sent the message, Ramona showed up as well. "I just saw the trending page as well. Triss, do you know if


    there''s someone who might be targeting you for some reason?"


    Two minutester, Triss replied, "| don''t know what''s going on either. I''ve just been doing the same thing I’ve always been doing.


    Most of the time, I''m either filming or I''m resting at home. | haven''t even been joining any variety showstely or seeing anyone


    at all.”


    Ramona was furious. "Who in the hell is this? Why would they do this to you? | can''t believe it!"


    Isabel asked, "Triss, do you or your management team have any solutions?"


    This was not the time to be upset, they had to get down and dirty to remedy the ongoing situation.


    Triss told them, "My agent helped me contact a PR team and we’ve contacted awyer to issue warnings. The problem is that


    the picture of me sitting on that man’sp is everywhere on the Inte. | don’t think awyer''s letter is going to stop people from


    spreading the picture."


    Ramona was at a loss. "What should we do??"


    Triss did not respond.


    Based on Isabel’s impression of Triss, she was probably going through a depressive fit right now.


    She considered for a moment before asking, "Triss, let me help you rify the story behind the picture online. Would you mind if |


    do that?"


    Triss replied in a matter of seconds, "| don’t mind, but are you sure this won''t affect your reputation?"


    Most people would understandably prefer to avoid getting tangled inplicated scandals such as this, especially considering


    how negative the public opinion of her was currently. If Isabel spoke up for her, there was a chance that she would face the


    scrutiny of the public as well.


    Isabel assured her. "It won’t. Don''t worry about it."


    Besides, she had been through the gauntlet several times, so she was practically immune to criticism by this point. All she cared


    about was that she could sleep with a clear conscience.


    With that, she went to her page.


    While she was still figuring out how she should structure the story, she suddenly received a text from an unknown number.


    The contents of the message were short and borate. "Isabel, | heard you''re a close friend of Triss, aren''t you? It looks like she


    needs some help now. | would help you if you ask nicely."


    She frowned.


    No matter how she looked at it, the entire text reeked of Decker.


    It also seemed highly probable that he was the one trying to defile Triss'' name.


    Asurge of anger rose to her chest, and she replied with a simple and borate text that read, "Scram."


    After that, she swiped back to her page and began topose a long- winded paragraph exining everything. ‘There''s nothing


    to see here. | remember that picture, it was taken roughly three to four years ago. We were celebrating the favorable of the web-


    novel adapted film ‘Furious Women’. Apart from the crew and the director, we also invited one of our investors which is the man


    you see in this picture. He used his position as a major investor and made Triss sit on hisp even though it was clear that she


    didn''t want to. Then he refused to let go no matter what Triss told him. | remember being disgusted with his behavior and telling


    him off right then and there. He stormed off like a spoiled brat after that."


    Right after she made the post, she heard Amanda grumbling at her. “Isabel, didn''t | tell you to not get involved? You''re only


    asking for trouble by voicing out at this time!”


    Isabel said snarkily, "| get into enough trouble on my own anyway, this won’t make a difference."
