Chapter 556: Get Out of the Entertainment Industry at Every Turn

Everyone was watching the vote count, and the fan groups were buzzing with activity.

Fans of Lois Hughes and Ruby Gordon had temporarily joined Cheryl Rhodes’s fan team to help with her votes.

The fans were baffled by their idols suddenly teaming up. They had no idea what was going on and were desperate to find out why.

Suddenly, a fan sent a message.

It was an image with a block of text on it.

Melody Monroe is going to sweep the Golden Orchid Awards this year.

If she weren’t lacking in status and hadn’t yet played a female lead, she’d probably be taking home Best Actress too.

The few who’ve crossed Melody Monroe have all met bad ends.

Raymond Ford, Rhona Hughes, Aya Winters...

Not to mention Mia Sutton, who’s also nominated for Best Newcomer.

Even Aya Winters vanished from the entertainment industry without a trace.

After seeing the image, the group chat went silent for a full minute.

Countless eyes were fixed on the picture, but no one knew what the person who sent it was trying to say.

Before anyone could respond, another video was posted.

It was a video from the one-month celebration Lana Sheffield held for her son. The video started with a photo of a child appearing on a large screen, followed by Eileen Scott’s questioning and Melody Monroe’s admission that the child was hers.

The video was edited, but those who weren’t there wouldn’t know the truth.

The moment this was posted, the group chat exploded.

"Melody Monroe has a secret child?"

"Oh my god! Is this news for real?"

"How come there’s nothing about this online?"

"I heard about this! But it seems like someone suppressed it."

"Do Melody Monroe’s fans know? Can those fanboys who treat her like a goddess handle this news?"

"The kid’s already that big? How old was Melody Monroe when she had the child?"

"Didn’t someone say that when Melody Monroe was on a shoot, a few fans got a little too enthusiastic, and she had someone ’take care of’ them?"

"Melody Monroe’s methods are really something else!"

"If this woman were in the imperial harem, she’d definitely become the empress dowager ruling from behind the curtain!"

"So who’s the person backing her?"

"Please don’t let it be Evan Fairchild!"

"It can’t be Master Rockwell either!"

"I’m totally shipping Master Rockwell and Zane Langdon right now!"

"It couldn’t be Shawn Fisher, right?"

"I heard it’s some rich old man. And today, on the red carpet, Melody Monroe even managed to successfully hit on Evan Fairchild."

"I feel like Evan Fairchild wouldn’t be that easy to seduce, would he?"

"But, she’s gorgeous. That’s how she pulled it off."

"How’d she do it?"

"There’s a video online. It was the oldest, most cliché trick in the book."

"Don’t ruin my idol!"

"Even when Melody Monroe was pregnant, she wasn’t the type to behave. I heard she latched onto Jedediah Scott and nearly destroyed the Scott Family."

"It’s true!"

"Oh my god, my whole worldview is shattered."

"We’re all gossiping up a storm here, but do Melody Monroe’s fans know?"

"Weren’t they fighting with us so fiercely before? Go fight them! Let them see their idol’s true colors."

"What are you waiting for! This time, we’ll flame them so hard they won’t have a comeback!"

"I’m getting excited just thinking about it!"

...

Melody Monroe’s official fan club had its own gathering spots, with dedicated accounts on several of the more well-known social media platforms.

Everyone was focusing their energy on voting, so no one was paying attention to the social media accounts.
