Chapter 224
“Selah, just leave the entertainment industry.
You’re only after the money!”
The second trending topic was about Kristy and Selah.
Rumors circulated that Kristy, a celebrated movie star, was set to lead in Vincent’s upcoming film.
However, with Selah’s 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.
“Selah hasn’t been acting for five years.
How could she possibly land a lead role in Vincent’s film right after her return? It’s clear she must have someone backing her.
”
“Kristy is the ideal choice for Vincent’s upcoming film.
Selah, the has-been star, should just stay away.
”
“Stay out of the Limelight if you’ve left the industry! The moment you return, you’re trying to steal the spotlight from the best actress.
Take a good look in the mirror and see what you’ve become after having a baby.
You’re just inviting humiliation!”
Several well-known bloggers initiated a poll, inviting followers to choose their preferred lead for Vincent’s new movie.
Kristy was leading by a significant margin.
The sudden shift in public sentiment indicated that someone was actively trying to tarnish Selah’s 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 Selah’s comeback.
Without delay, she called Selah.
“Hello, Selah.
Have you checked out what’s trending on Twitter?”
“Yes, I have.
” Selah’s voice was trembling slightly, “The woman in those pictures isn’t me.
I’ve never slept with any man other than Andrew.
He’s definitely the father of my child! Lindsey, do you believe me?”
“Absolutely, I believe you.
” Lindsey’s conviction seemed to encourage Selah.
“It’s clear someone’s trying to tarnish your name to prevent your role in Vincent’s upcoming film.
”
“That crossed my mind too, but… who would do such a thing?”
“Selah, I’m afraid I have to trouble you with one thing.
”
After getting ready, Lindsey headed to the office.
The moment she stepped into her department, she sensed the disdainful glances of her colleagues.
They didn’t even try to hide their gossiping, even in her presence.
“You know what? Lindsey’s been trying to get Selah to sign with her privately, but the company turned her down.
”
“She has no choice.
She agreed that she’d be demoted if she couldn’t land Vincent’s new movie’s lead role for one of her artists.
How could any of her lesser-known artists ever be Vincent’s first choice?
She’s relying on Selah as her last hope.
