Chapter 75
Spoiled by the President
The surrounding was lost in the clamor of an uproar.
With everyone pointing the finger at Nell, the looks that fell on her no longer bore the former fascination and admiration.
Their eyes were instead, all filled with disdain and contempt!
Nell kept a straight face. The condemnation around did not stir a single surge of emotions in her still eyes. In fact, her eyes remained serene as though nothing had happened.
Glancing at Nellâs reaction, Celine secretly smirked to herself.
âGo on, play dumb! Pretend all you want!
âIâll see how much longer youâll keep up with the act!â
Celine paused and was about to say something.
However, before words left her lips, Jasonâs furious voice ensued.
âEnough! Are you here for the ball or here to gossip? Look at you people, gathering around the door. Disperse!â
They were not having it. Who would want to leave with a show unfolding?
Someone spoke up, âYoung Master Morton, your fiancée is the victim here. As the boyfriend, itâs fine if you donât side with your girlfriend, but to cast your lot with the perpetrator?â
Jasonâs back stiffened.
Celine froze as well.
With a silent fear and unwillingness creeping inside her, she turned to throw a glance at Jason. She saw a fluster fleeting past his eyes.
Taking her by the hand, Jason whispered an excuse, âCeline, you know I donât mean that.â
Celine clenched her fist.
There was something brewing within her, channeling deep resentment.
Nevertheless, she lifted a smile on the surface as she softly replied, âI know. Brother Jay, you just donât want to see my relationship with my sister going sour. Itâs all for my own good. I get it.â
Jason dared not look her in the eye.
He nodded. âItâs good that you understand.â
Standing at the side, Em was still unwilling to back down.
She continued to stir trouble. âYoung Master Morton, even if youâre not making inquiries into the incident five years ago, are you going to sit by and watch her steal every role of Celineâs?â
Jason frowned.
Celine let out a gentle smile.
âSister, you might not know the importance of this film to me. I did my homework for a complete month just to land on this role. How about this? I know youâre trying to boost the popularity of the artiste under you. Why donât you let me have this role and Iâll have Brother Jay invest in another film in the name of Fenghua in exchange for a female lead role for her? What are your thoughts?â
The crowd burst into an uproar.
âThis Celine Jennings is way too kind! Despite her sisterâs doings, sheâs still helping her sister fight for a role!â
âI know, right? Iâve seen many pushovers in my life, but Iâve never seen it this extreme!â
âSigh, sheâs too soft. Fortunately, Young Master Mortonâs there to protect her, or else god knows how much of a fool the sisterâs going to take her for.â
âA supporting role for a leading role? Tsk tsk, thatâs a great deal! Sheâll be pushing her luck if she doesnât agree to it!â
Listening to the criticism all around, Nell slowly curled her lips.
She gazed at Celine. Her eyes revealed cynicism.
âAre you done acting?â
Celine was taken aback.
She forced a smile. âSister, what do you mean?â
âTsk! Are you tired of being an actress and planning to switch careers into delivering monologues?â
âNell Jennings! Donât you take it too far!â
Em stood out.
With Nellâs face turning harsh, she darted a sharp look and barked, âDoes it concern you whether or not I take things too far? Who are you to give orders to me?â
Intimidated by Nellâs chilling presence, Emâs mind went blank for two seconds.
It took her awhile to come to and by then, her face was painted in a darker shade. She was in disbelief that she felt threatened.
Annoyed, she furiously chided, âSure, Iâm better off than you despite having no right in this! Also, Iâm Celineâs best friend. So what if I come forward for Celineâs sake?â
Nell coldly smirked.
âI see you arenât constant with the switch of career into delivering monologues. What? Are you trying to demote yourself to an internet celebrity instead?â
Everybody was in a daze, unable to snap out of it.
Celine glowered.
âWhatâs the meaning of this?â
âHa! Was I wrong? I always thought that you might be a little mean and petty but youâd still have class. I didnât think that youâd befriend any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Why would you be friends with a shameless third-rate internet celebrity if you didnât want to become an internet sensation yourself?â
The crowd on scene widened their eyes in shock.
What? Third-rate internet celebrity?
Who?
Em was thrown into panic.
âAb-absolute nonsense! Who are you calling a third-rate internet celebrity?â
âYou, of course!â
Snickering out of mockery, Nell shook her head. âLook at you two, singing the same tune. People might think that youâre acting a scene in the Chinese opera! Itâs a pity though, a prick-teaser like you canât even play the part well. You were too eager to pin me down with a label that it backfired!â
Emâs complexion washed white.
âWhat are you going on about? I donât understand a word youâre saying!â
Nell let out a scoff.
âDo you think that a change of clothes and a painted face can mask a girl dwelling in the outer edges of the D list to a socialite? You must be the one with the username, Little Cloud In The Sky! You play skittish, working on loopholes online for attention. Last month, you cheated a huge gift, which is now confiscated, out from a netizen. Did you think no one will recognize you offline?â
By now, everyone had come round with the revelation.
They took another look at the girl named Em and realized she looked familiar!
An internet live-streamer like them was different from the rest. Since they were without talent, they resorted to pushing the envelope to gain attention.
Hence, their make-up and dress-up were testing the limits during a broadcast.
With an additional filter effect, it made a world of difference from the actual person in real life.
What was the saying again? Goddess online and a matron offline.
Although Em did not hit it big, her ordinary looks were comparable to an average joe, putting her in the same class as a matron.
The reminder saw many quickly putting a name to the face.
Despite how well one was in disguise, the body frame and eyes remained the same.
Everyone gasped in astonishment, especially the young men who were into Lolita-goddess fantasies.
âOh my god! Sheâs Little Cloud In The Sky? Why is she so ugly in real life?
âJesus! I even donated a gift worth tens of thousands to her! I might as well visit a prostitute if Iâve known! At least prostitutes are prettier than her!â

ï¤Chapter 487 The End Pt. 5 âNo way, I canât trust my aesthetics! Why did I think she was my goddess? Oh god!â
âBrother, youâre not alone. If I could, I wish I could recover all the gifts Iâve donated!â
âI can overlook the gifts! Iâll thank the gods if she just stays out of my sight!â
â...â
