Chapter 192

With those online revelations, Winter found herself under a barrage of attacks from fans and

keyboard warriors. Some expressed deep disappointment in her while others were furious because

their own idols had been secretly sabotaged by her.

Several producers and directors associated with Winter remained collectively silent. Reporters tried

to reach them but were met with various excuses, pushing Winter further into the eye of the storm.

The entertainment industry had always been a place where the ones at the top were praised and

the ones at the bottom were trampled upon. In response to the scandal, Winter’s management

company launched an emergency public relations campaign, insisting that she had been framed

and that the allegations

were untrue.

However, just a day after the PR statement was released, a small magazine leaked some risqué

photos of Winter. In the photos, she appeared to be only 17 or 18. It was when she had just entered

the entertainment industry.

This release rendered her company’s PR efforts futile. Winter’s management company immediately

sent her home to rest, canceling all her upcoming work. Brands Winter had been endorsing also

began terminating their contracts with her.

The Shaw family home was enveloped in a dark cloud. Winter threw a massive tantrum, sensing

even the household staff looked at her differently.

Winter had been holed up at home for two whole days, afraid to go out for fear of being hounded by

paparazzi and unable to escape their scrutiny.

In her frustration, Winter smashed anything and everything she could lay her hands on.

Knowing how upset Winter was, Jade had instructed the household staff to be more attentive. Still,

it did

little to ease Winter’s distress.

She could not understand who was behind her downfall this time.

Such incidents were all too common in the entertainment world–less famous stars being

undermined by more famous ones or rivals sabotaging each other. These conflicts were usually

subtle, not openly broadcasted like this.

This attack caught Winter off guard, leaving her no time to respond. The adversary was clearly

prepared as every time her PR team issued a statement, new scandals emerged immediately.

If Winter ever found out who was behind this, she would not let them off easily.

“Winter, please eat something!” Jade urged, watching her daughter waste away. “I made -foods.

Just try a little.”

“I don’t want to eat! I’m not hungry!” Winter shouted, pushing Jade’s hand away and sending the

food crashing to the floor.

“Winter!” Jade gritted her teeth. “How long are you going to keep this up? Look at yourself! You’ve

barely eaten in two days, destroying everything the staff brings you. What good does this do?”

“But Mom, what am I supposed to do? I feel like I’m done for.” Winter had lost a significant amount

of weight and was genuinely at a loss. “The company says they’re giving me a break, but I know

they’re

abandoning me. The advertisers are all replacing me. Mom, who is trying to ruin me?”
