Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 789 The Only Way to Improve Status is Through Beauty



But Selena? Yeah, she wasn't gonna show up here. Ever since that scandal with Ronald blew up, she wanted the company to throw some cash to bury it.

But before S.M Corporation could even lift a finger, someone else had already taken it down.

She frowned, clueless about who did it, and had to stick to the plan to find this artist named Sophia under Ronald.

Little did she know, Sophia was at home, fuming, "Who the heck is this old lady? How's she trending with Uncle Ronald? Is she the reason he ditched the contract?"

Since Ronald bailed, the company hooked her up with a new agent. The agent was like, "You should just focus on finishing this script."

"How am I supposed to finish it? Uncle Ronald's not here. How can I act? If you want me to act, fine, then bring him back!"

Sophia had only been in one TV series but already had over five million Twitter followers. People were saying she was the next big thing, so All Star Entertainment had high hopes for her.

With Ronald around, Sophia didn't have to schmooze with those big shots. Now that he was gone, she just got back from a social event where some creep kept groping her thigh, and she was livid.

Seeing the scandal between Ronald and another woman now, she felt like she was gonna explode.

"Quick, use a fake account to spread rumors on Twitter, saying this Selena is an ugly old hag!" Sophia snapped.

The agent rubbed his temples. "Ms. Dorie wants you to focus on acting."

Sophia's face turned icy. "Get lost! If you don't listen to me, what's the point of having you!"

The agent lost it. "Sophia, who do you think you are? You're just a product the company is pushing. If you don't nail this drama, you'll end up in Larry's bed! Do you really think you're above it all? If it weren't for Ronald protecting you, you'd have been forced into countless hookups! A girl like you, with just looks and acting skills but no connections, can only rely on your beauty to climb up! You'll get it sooner or later!"

Sophia ignored him. After he stormed out, she locked the door again.

Then she sat down, opened Twitter, and started spreading rumors with a fake account.

[I've seen this Selena. She's a hideous, fierce-looking forty-year-old woman. Ronald would never be with someone like her.]

[Don't talk nonsense. Ronald has such good taste; how could he be interested in a greasy old lady?]

[Selena is just a rich old woman with terrible fashion sense. Stop associating her with a man like Ronald.]

This fake account had over a hundred thousand followers because it had leaked some juicy stuff before.

So the stuff she posted quickly blew up.

Someone: [Is she really that ugly? Have you seen her?]

Sophia: [Yeah, I have. She was covered in jewelry, looking like a total nouveau riche, with exaggerated makeup. Her blood-red lips looked like they could swallow someone whole!] Because Sophia sounded so convincing, everyone bought it for a while.

Sophia saw that the talk about Selena's looks was trending, and many people were chiming in, saying Selena was indeed ugly.

Netizens thought it made sense. After all, how could a young woman become a CEO and revive a small company? She must be an older woman with some tricks up her sleeve. Selena was a forty-year-old nouveau riche.

This became the general consensus among netizens.

Sophia chuckled to herself, even starting to believe that Selena was such a woman.

But soon, someone privately messaged her on Twitter.

She clicked in and found it was Selena herself!!

Sophia was so scared she almost dropped her phone. She had just trashed this person with a fake account, and now she was being contacted. Could Selena know it was her spreading those rumors? No way, right?

Selena: [Sophia, hey, I'm here to invite you to sign with S.M Corporation.]

Sophia breathed a sigh of relief. So they just wanted to poach her. She immediately started playing hard to get.

Sophia: [Sorry, I'm currently working on a TV series as the lead actress. I don't have time to meet you, and I might win an award for this series because my acting is superb.] Selena went silent.
