Chapter 211

Jason did not spend too much time at the hospital and left after a short while.

So Celine went home with the company of Skylar and Angel. She had decided to wait for the incident to die down before doing anything else.

Since the video had gone viral on the internet, Skylar’s efforts to take down the video was pretty much futile. A lot of money was spent, yet the issue was not settled. Thus, her employees had to receive a scolding.

As such, more and more people resented Celine.

“She was the one who started all of this yet she’s putting the blame on us. Is she drunk?!”

“Hell yeah, can’t she watch her own actions, knowing that she’s a celebrity? It’s one thing to hit someone but it’s another thing to lose the fight and have her video recorded and put up the net! What an idiot!”

“What rotten luck to be her PR personnel! I guess she has been on the hot topics three or four times this month for the wrong reasons? Can’t she behave herself?”

“True, she isn’t careful with what she does and puts all the responsibility on us when something happens. We are humans, not gods. We’ve spent money but we can’t take the video down, so what else can we do?”

“Exactly...”

They were not the only ones who were irked by Celine. Of late, the netizens’ reaction towards Celine’s news coverage gradually altered from curiosity to annoyance.

It was still fine among Celine’s hardcore fans, but some of her casual fans began to develop a negative impression of her.

“What’s the matter with Celine? She has been on the topic a few times this month! Has Weibo become her own backyard?”

“She’s surely trying to create buzz for her comeback! Previously, it was about her acting skills. Now, it’s about her fight. I wonder what’s next.”

“Create buzz? That can’t be! Who in the right mind would use negative stories of themselves to garner attention?”

“Haven’t you heard of the term “infamy’? The more infamous you get, the more well-known you are. You can just purify your image later.”

“Truth be told, I never had a good feeling towards Celine, but I was still a casual admirer. Despite her scandal last time, I never hated her. However, after this incident, I’m done with her. From today onwards, I officially hate her.”

“Same, I hate her.”

“What do you all know? Our Celine has been set up! There were so many of them on the film set. As long as you aren’t a fool, you won’t simply attack someone over there! Are you all nuts?!”

“Pfft, looks like there’s a mindless fan here who’s trying to defend her. We aren’t nuts, but you’re the one who’s blind.”

“...”

Arguments broke out online. At first, Celine’s supporters were capable of standing their ground, but over time, some of them began to falter.

After all, once the other netizens joined in the arguments, their comments were highly critical and her small number of fans was no match for them.

Some of her ardent admirers even began to panic and privately messaged Celine for an explanation.

However, Celine did not respond to them.

Her silence worried this group of hardcore fans. Nevertheless, in a matter of days, more people had a change of heart and switched sides.

Two days later, the first trailer of “Cannon Fodder Guide' was published on their official Weibo account.

It was a minute long but it focused on the essence of the show. Overall, it was brilliant and attention-grabbing. As the lead actress, Nell’s performance was excellent.

Aside from the impeccable costume designs and makeup, she stole the show with her dominating personality.

As soon as the trailer was released, everyone swarmed to watch it.

As the main cast members, Nell and George shared the trailer too.

Initially, there was not much hype about the show. However, due to the constant news coverage on Nell and Celine Jennings, the small budget web-

series gained more than a hundred million views for their trailer.

Tim was equally surprised by this result.

He finally understood why Nell was reluctant to prove her innocence earlier and insisted on waiting until the release of their show.

Once an issue had been settled, hardly anyone would pay attention to it anymore and the popularity would slowly decrease.

Till then, if the trailer for “Cannon Fodder Guide' had been released, it would not have garnered such a high number of views.

Although this method was a bit unethical, that was the way things worked in showbiz. Sometimes, relying on skills was not enough. One had to pull some strings and depend upon luck as well.

Tim, who worked his way up to the top for ten years, understood this better than anyone else.

Now, he no longer worried about the show’s reception.

Still, he felt guilty towards Nell since her popularity was used to promote this show.

As he thought of this, Tim decided to call Nell.

Today, Nell was on leave and finally had some free time. She had been requested by a certain someone to return to Leith Garden instead of staying at the film set.

Currently, she was lounging on a deck chair in the backyard, eating fruits while reading a book.

Gideon had also taken leave and stayed at home to accompany her.

When Nell’s phone rang, Gideon saw the name on the screen.

Instead of waiting for Nell to pick it up, he took the phone and accepted the call.

Tim’s pleasant voice could be heard. “Nelly, what’re you doing?”

Gideon was taken aback.

Nelly?

Huh?! He sounded so affectionate!

Jealousy began to creep into Gideon’s heart and he answered in a deep voice, “Anything?”

On the other end, Tim had never expected that the call would not be answered by Nell. He was rather horrified when he heard a deep, masculine voice.

A few seconds passed before he realized who that man was.

With that, his expression shifted and he quickly altered his tone as well. “President... President Leith?”

“Yes, anything?”

Gideon did not want to talk to him.

What a waste of time!

It had been two months and he finally had some alone time with Nell. They could have a romantic time together, but this fellow was so dense to call them at this time!

The dense Tim Coombs became tactful once he detected the hostility in Gideon’s tone.

“No, nothing, I just wanted to check up on Nell. Take, take care.”

He hung up immediately.

Feeling satisfied now, Gideon passed the phone to Nell.

He regarded her with a smiley expression. “Dear, Tim called just now. There was nothing urgent, so I accepted the call for you.”

Nell rolled her eyes and was somewhat at a loss for words.

“Can’t you accept the call without frightening him?”

She was not silly either. She clearly knew that Gideon must have spoken to Tim with a scowl and a low voice.

Gideon gulped but did not explain himself. He realized it was getting late and so he said, “It’s time to eat. Let’s head inside for lunch.”

Nell nodded. Both of them got up and headed to the dining room.

After lunch, Nell received a call from Hannah, who informed her that her Weibo account was filled with countless private messages.

Nell was surprised by this.

Her primary Weibo account was mainly used for work-related matters, so she was seldom online and allowed Hannah to manage it instead.
