Chapter 224
Heartbreak Brings Mr. Right
âSelah, just leave the entertainment industry.
Youâre only after the money!â
The second trending topic was about Kristy and Selah.
Rumors circulated that Kristy, a celebrated movie star, was set to lead in Vincentâs upcoming film.
However, with Selahâs return, whispers suggested she secretly met with Vincent, aiming to snatch the role.
The final casting decision was still up in the air.
The comments were numerous, but most of them were in favor of Kristy.
âSelah hasnât been acting for five years.
How could she possibly land a lead role in Vincentâs film right after her return? Itâs clear she must have someone backing her.
â
âKristy is the ideal choice for Vincentâs upcoming film.
Selah, the has-been star, should just stay away.
â
âStay out of the Limelight if youâve left the industry! The moment you return, youâre trying to steal the spotlight from the best actress.
Take a good look in the mirror and see what youâve become after having a baby.
Youâre just inviting humiliation!â
Several well-known bloggers initiated a poll, inviting followers to choose their preferred lead for Vincentâs new movie.
Kristy was leading by a significant margin.
The sudden shift in public sentiment indicated that someone was actively trying to tarnish Selahâs reputation to hinder her return.
Clearly, the poll results were influenced by the rumors.
It seemed like a strategic move to pit the actresses against each other and stir up public interest.
Lindsey had a good idea of who might be behind these efforts to block Selahâs comeback.
Without delay, she called Selah.
âHello, Selah.
Have you checked out whatâs trending on Twitter?â
âYes, I have.
â Selahâs voice was trembling slightly, âThe woman in those pictures isnât me.
Iâve never slept with any man other than Andrew.
Heâs definitely the father of my child! Lindsey, do you believe me?â
âAbsolutely, I believe you.
â Lindseyâs conviction seemed to encourage Selah.
âItâs clear someoneâs trying to tarnish your name to prevent your role in Vincentâs upcoming film.
â
âThat crossed my mind too, but⦠who would do such a thing?â
âSelah, Iâm afraid I have to trouble you with one thing.
â
After getting ready, Lindsey headed to the office.
The moment she stepped into her department, she sensed the disdainful glances of her colleagues.
They didnât even try to hide their gossiping, even in her presence.
âYou know what? Lindseyâs been trying to get Selah to sign with her privately, but the company turned her down.
â
âShe has no choice.
She agreed that sheâd be demoted if she couldnât land Vincentâs new movieâs lead role for one of her artists.
How could any of her lesser-known artists ever be Vincentâs first choice?
Sheâs relying on Selah as her last hope.
