Chapter 277: Chapter 277: High-Energy Takedown! Sienna Everett’s Popularity Explodes

Ophelia Warren’s fans had the truth slap them in the face, leaving them completely dumbfounded!

Was the person in the surveillance video—the one spouting endless lies, feigning innocence, framing others, and acting like a complete buffoon—really their gentle, kind, elegant, and talented Miss Ophelia?

How could she be... so shameless?

The netizens just there for the drama had their minds completely blown.

[Ophelia Warren is a real piece of work! I’ve never seen anyone put on an act like that! It’s disgusting!!]

[LMAO, one second Ophelia Warren’s fans were making excuses for her, the next they got completely owned!]

[I’m gonna puke. Why would anyone stan such a rotten person? Her fans need to wake up and drop her! Ophelia Warren, get out of the entertainment industry! Get her canceled, ASAP!]

[It serves Miles Everett right for being framed by Ophelia Warren! A classic case of dog-eat-dog!]

While netizens vented their fury in the live comments, they were also on the edge of their seats. The Ancient Painting had been damaged a second time by Ophelia Warren, so how on earth was it restored in the end?

But the further they watched, the more shocked they became, their jaws hanging wide open.

What?

Sienna Everett is the granddaughter of the renowned Victor Tate?

And she’s also Winchester, who went viral a while back?

And she was the one who stepped up in the crisis, single-handedly turning the situation around and restoring the damaged Ancient Painting?

After watching the entire surveillance video, the netizens went into a frenzy, ready to explode like a powder keg.

[Winchester? Sienna Everett is Winchester?? HOLY SHIT, Sienna Everett... I can’t, I’m losing my mind!]

[So the person who restored the Ancient Painting was Sienna Everett! She wasn’t stealing credit at all; she was cleaning up the mess! She saved the Ancient Painting that Ophelia Warren had damaged!]

[Sienna Everett is the one who rendered a great service to the nation! Ophelia Warren isn’t fit to carry her shoes!]

[No wonder Sienna Everett was on the state news channel! With her skill at restoring cultural relics, she’s practically a national-treasure-level master. The president of Yesteria was right—Sienna Everett is the Holy Hand Restorer!]

Amid the uproar, the official account of the state news channel posted on X.

It featured a photo of Sienna Everett taken while she was restoring the Ancient Painting.

The post publicly praised Sienna Everett, highly commending her for stepping up in the crisis to restore the twice-damaged Ancient Painting, and announced that she had been awarded a medal of honor.

[OMG, that medal is so cool! I want one!]

[Dream on. That medal is reserved for individuals who have made special contributions to the nation. It represents a national honor and is extremely rare. This is the first one awarded this year, and it went to Sienna Everett.]

[Sienna Everett deserves it!!]

While netizens were fervently discussing Sienna Everett’s honor, someone discovered that the president of Yesteria had created an account on a Chinese social media platform, and the very first person he followed was Sienna Everett.

At first, netizens assumed it was an imposter, but when they discovered the account was officially verified, they were left completely stunned.

And the first post from the president of Yesteria was also about Sienna Everett:

[I was very impressed by "The maple forest is dyed in autumn colors," which Miss Sienna Everett restored. My wife has always been a great admirer of Kian and the gowns Kian designs. It was a pleasure to meet you and take a photo with you today.]

Accompanying the post was a photo of Sienna Everett with the president of Yesteria.

The netizens watching the drama unfold were so shocked they were speechless. It took them a long moment to snap out of it, as if waking from a dream.

[Ho... Holy shit! The president of Yesteria made an account on a Chinese social media platform just for Sienna Everett?!]

[And Kian! The first lady is a fan of Kian and the gowns Kian designs!]

[OMG, the first lady and I stan the same person! This is so wild!]

[Hahahahaha, you guys, look at the expression on the Yesterian president’s face. He clearly holds Sienna Everett in high regard!]

[I’m more certain than ever. Sienna Everett is my long-lost wife! Sienna, wifey, I’m coming for you!]

[Suddenly, I’m super curious. As long as the Everetts have internet, they must be seeing all this news. I wonder if they’re kicking themselves for disowning Sienna Everett?]

Right now, on every major social media app, hashtags like #SiennaEverettIsWinchester, #SiennaEverettRestoresPaintingDamagedByOpheliaWarren, #SiennaEverettReceivesNationalHonor, and #PresidentOfYesteriaFollowsSiennaEverett were all blowing up the trending charts, one after another.

Almost everything netizens were discussing and seeing was related to one person: Sienna Everett!

Of course, while everyone was praising Sienna Everett, there was no shortage of denunciations for Miles Everett and Ophelia Warren.

Amidst this media frenzy, Miles Everett publicly released a statement of repentance. He admitted that he had been wrong about so much in the past. Back when he was with the Everett Family, he had seen them bully and abuse Sienna Everett, but he had ignored it and tacitly approved. Time and time again, he had chosen to believe Ophelia Warren over Sienna Everett, hurting Sienna in the process. He concluded that he was now reaping what he had sown and hoped he could offer Sienna Everett his sincerest apologies.

Netizens had just one response to this: What took you so long? It’s too little, too late!

Some netizens found it strange: [With such a huge scandal today, why hasn’t Ophelia Warren come out to cause a scene? Is she done playing the innocent, gentle card?]

An industry insider who had been quietly enjoying the drama couldn’t help but comment:

[You guys don’t know, do you? Ophelia Warren has been blacklisted! A couple of days ago, all her ads were pulled, and her scenes in the drama she guest-starred in were deleted. This means she’s been thoroughly canceled! She’s never coming back from this. Her career is completely toast!]

Blacklisted?

That’s fantastic!

The netizens following the drama celebrated as if it were a national holiday.

[Serves her right! I can’t stand the sight of her face anymore!]

[Hahahaha, remember when Ophelia Warren’s diehard stans said she was finally coming out of her slump? How is it that the slump just keeps getting... slumpier? Hahaha.]

[See, I’ve got good taste. I stanned Sienna Everett from the get-go. Definitely picked the right idol~~]

...

In Ophelia Warren’s apartment, the heavy curtains were all drawn shut.

Ophelia Warren sat at her desk, the tablet before her casting a sickly green glow. Her eyes were glued to the screen, taking in the online comments—the netizens’ adulation for Sienna Everett, and their condemnation of her.

She couldn’t take it anymore. Her mask of gentleness shattered completely. With a sweep of her arm, she sent everything on the desk crashing to the floor.

CRASH! SMASH! Shards of broken items littered the floor.

Ophelia Warren got to her feet and proceeded to smash everything she could get her hands on in the room, venting her fury in a hysterical fit, her expression twisted into a hideous grimace.

Amid the wreckage, her phone rang. It was Uncle Dunn. The moment she answered, he unleashed a torrent of verbal abuse. "Ophelia! How could you be so useless!"

’Her image is completely ruined!’

’She’s become a pariah, a street rat everyone wants to beat! There’s no way to salvage this!’

’I told her to pretend to be the Prescott Family’s long-lost daughter and reunite with them—she failed. I told her to defeat Sienna Everett—she failed at that, too.’

"Ophelia, you are a bitter disappointment!"

"Uncle Dunn..." Ophelia Warren tilted her head back, staring at the glaring ceiling light. Her eyes stung from the brightness, a pain like acid eating away at them.

Uncle Dunn was still raging on the other end of the line. Ever since that recording was exposed, he knew Sienna Everett’s people must have started investigating Ophelia.

’I have a feeling,’ he thought, ’that I won’t be able to stay hidden for much longer...’

He had been feeling deeply uneasy lately, plagued by an ominous premonition...

...

「In a private room at a high-end hotel in the city center.」

Chief Ford and Director Jarvis had invited Sienna Everett to dinner to thank her for ensuring the Ancient Painting could be successfully displayed at the state banquet.

Sienna Everett had barely sat down when she received a text from Keith Sterling: [Sierra, you’re blowing up right now! The whole internet is talking about you!]

Sienna Everett: "..."

Before she had a chance to reply to Keith Sterling, a barrage of messages from other friends came flooding in.

Isabelle Sutton: [Ahhh, Sienna! So you’re Winchester! You restored the Ancient Painting, you’re amazing! What did I do to deserve a friend as incredible as you!!]

Orion Hawthorne: [Not bad. You’re quite famous now. Only a little less than me, of course.]

Ian Prescott: [Sienna, seeing the president of Yesteria mention how much his wife loves the gowns designed by Kian reminded me that my mother is also a huge fan of Kian. She’s one of your most loyal supporters. And so am I, of course~]

Javier Prescott: [Sienna, you’re truly incredible. I’m so happy for your achievements.]

Unknown Number 1: [Sienna, I saw you on the news! I even saw your photo with the president of Yesteria! My little sis is so incredible, and here I am, your Third Brother, just dragging you down again!]

Unknown Number 2: [Sienna, I saw Miles Everett’s public apology. Don’t pay him any mind; he’s definitely not sincere. But your Fifth Brother, I sincerely know I was wrong. Little sis, I’m watching the news on my knees. How’s my form? (Photo attached)]

Unknown Number 3: [Sienna, did Ophelia Warren do anything else to hurt you? Don’t worry, from now on, I’ll beat her up every time I see her. Oh, by the way, little sis, this is your Fourth Brother’s new number. Please don’t block me again, okay?]

The corner of Sienna Everett’s mouth twitched. Without hesitation, she blocked the last three unknown numbers.

Just as she was about to put her phone down, she received a call from Evan Shelby.

Sienna Everett rubbed her temples and answered, mentally exhausted.

Evan Shelby’s excited voice came through the phone. "This is wild! The internet is buzzing with news about you! I was just at the supermarket, and I overheard strangers talking about you!"

Sienna Everett felt like her ears were going to start bleeding if she heard this one more time. She was about to hang up. "Did you call just to say that, or is there something else?"

Evan Shelby raised an eyebrow. "Of course there is! I’m calling about something important! You weren’t about to hang up on me, were you?"

Having been caught, Sienna Everett silently aborted her attempt to hang up and cleared her throat. "What is it?"

"It’s about Shannon Everett!" Evan Shelby chuckled. "I’ve got good news! After some maneuvering and testing the waters, Shannon Everett has let her guard down. She’s decided to sell her shares in the Everett Family to the Starlight Consortium! Now the Everett Family... is in for a good show!"
