Chapter 194
Spoiled by the President
The people were not going to let Nell leave like this. They tried to put a tail on her but were stopped by the staff.
Unable to interview Nell, they turned their attention to Celine who was standing at a side.
âCeline Jennings, youâre in the same set and are sisters with Nell. Do you know about her being drugged?â
The look on Celineâs face was ever-changing and fascinating.
Forcing a smile, she could not bring herself to admit her oblivion. With the latest on Nell and her burying the hatchet posted just a few days ago, she would be assumed to be putting on a show if she were to say that she did not know about the huge ordeal surrounding Nell.
In the end, she let out a stiff smile. âOf course, I know about this but sister refused to reveal much of it. Iâm not too sure myself on the details.â
âWho do you think is out to get her? Are there any suspects in mind?â
âYes! Surely, you have the same level of understanding, being on the same set?â
Clenching her fist in secret, Celine faced the camera with her averting eyes ill at ease.
Yet, she was hemmed in by the media. Unlike Nell, she did not have a bodyguard like Nancy to path the way for her. Hence, she stood there awkwardly.
Resenting dreadfully inside, she cursed Kylie whose whereabouts were unknown. Why was she not here at a time like this?
Finally, she managed to escape from the reportersâ pursuit with the help of the security personnel hired by the set.
Unable to get to the bottom through Celine, the reporters had their eyes set on the other party involved in the scandal â Tim Coombs.
Nevertheless, Tim was known for his hot temper. Despite being bombarded by questions from the media, he did not provide an inconclusive answer.
He only told the press to seek the police for an answer once the case was cracked. What was the point of asking him?
Tim was a victim. Was it his duty to solve the puzzle for them as well?
He then left with a long face.
Although the reporters were not able to get the answer they wanted, it was not a fruitless trip here.
By the afternoon, clips of Celineâs bloopers were posted on the web.
Interview clips of Nell and Celine reacting to last nightâs photographs then ensued.
Due to the time lapse in posting, many netizens were surprised and disappointed at Celineâs performance from the acting clips.
âDidnât Celine Jennings win a Hundred Flowers award? Whatâs with the terrible acting? I heard that the character is firm and tough in nature. Even if she was dethroned, she dare not come on too strong for the sake of her life but whatâs with the wimpy attitude!â
âYeah, Iâve seen the draft of this character. Her crying scenes are so fake! Where are the tears?â
âIs this the standard of a film star? If thatâs the case, I can be a film star too.â
âSave it. What film star? More like a star without substance.â
âThe above comment, what are you saying? Our Celine won an award based on her skills. Youâre obviously a bunch of sour grapes judging by your tone!â
âTsk, won an award based on her skills? Fancy saying that! Got to give it to the water armies.â
âExactly. Everyone knew that it was quite a stir when the judges of Hundred Flowers were finalizing the winner. There were still over ten thousand votes in difference from the first place thirty seconds before but within seconds, the ten thousand votes were made up in full. Ha, I know a machine tallies up the count but who knows if the votes come out of nowhere!â
âThe above comment, donât make baseless accusations! Our Celine won fair and square. You look for the organizer if youâre unable to accept the truth. Why are you trolling here?â
âThatâs right. You people are slandering her out of jealousy!â
âJealousy? What a joke! Your prude of a star has declined to play second in a web-series. Is she even worth the slander?â
âShe really thinks sheâs an A-list celebrity! Only you mindless fans would cover up for her. Why donât you take a look at what she did in the filming world!â
âWatch your mouth! Our Celine only participated in this drama to help promote her useless sister.â
âThatâs right. Our Celine values family and friends more than anything. Why would she take part in a minor production like this web-series if it were not for her sister?â
âThe comments above can shut your pie hole! Our Celine is innocent, adorable, gentle, and kind. She doesnât need your approval nor your love.â
âIn case you donât know, go check out the recent interview during the shoot commencement. She admitted that she accepted the role for her sister!â
âThe fact that she values her family and friends is used against her. Thatâs really crossing the line!â
Someone rebuked. âItâs your prudeâs words against Nellâs. Did you see the concerned party making any comments?â
âYeah, just because she said she accepted the role because her sister, does it make it true? Have you forgotten about the previous scandal?â
âYes, thatâs right! Mindless fans only see the good and filter out the bad. They seemed to have amnesia as well. With the time spent on bullsh*t, Iâd advise you to check on your brains!â
It was a complete racket online. Among the videos that were released by the media, there were also shots of Nell, apart from Celineâs.
Someone blurted, âI never noticed this before but the female lead is quite beautiful. Sheâs pretty good at acting too. Oh, those imposing eyes. Sheâs Her Majesty the Empress in the flesh.â
This comment resonated with many.
âYes, yes. Itâs better than that star without substance. That gaze, in particular. OMG. I canât take that assertiveness. Iâm about to bow down to Her Majesty the Empress.â
âThe imperial outfit sure is a show-stopper. She looks zealous in it. I love it.â
âOh, yes. Itâs been a while since Iâve seen such an assertive, beautiful, and intoxicating lady.â
âShe got me hooked on her!â
The public opinion online moved from talking about Celineâs acting to Nellâs beauty.
A certain somebody jumped out and said, âQuit it. Whatâs there to like about her? Didnât you read last nightâs expose?â
An oblivious netizen asked, âWhat expose?â
The next minute, somebody dumped a few cropped photos.
âWhatâs the bullsh*t about her acting ability? Do you still like her after finding out this capability was exchanged with facts of life?â
âTsk, it didnât take long for you to eat your words.â

ï¤Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 âKnocking on the directorâs door in the middle of the night. Do you have a thing for that too?â
People, who saw the photographs and were reminded of last nightâs rumors, quickly lost favor in Nell.
âOh gawd, what can this be? Sheâs gorgeous and great at acting. I thought she wouldâve the character to match!â
âSigh, itâs indeed complicated in the entertainment world.â
Nevertheless, a few were unswervingly loyal and firmly believed that Nell would not do such a thing.
