Chapter 534: Photos on the Internet
He pressed on the ‘answer’ button and said, “Hello, Yahk.”
“Nico, is Ellie beside you? Tell her to turn on the computer right now! Faster!” At the other end of the line, it was Yahk who was speaking anxiously.
Nico didn’t realize what he meant and he said slowly, “She’s here with me, what’s the matter? Something happened?”
“Who is it? Is it Yahk?” Ellie placed her ear near the phone.
“Yeah, he’s looking for you,” Nico gave the phone to Ellie and went to open the laptop in the room.
“Hello, Yahk. What’s the matter?” Ellie greeted cheerfully. Although she looked very down just now, her emotions come and go very quickly. Although she lost the endorsement, she felt that there would be a new endorsement for her again. As Nico said, maybe there was already a big company that was ready to give her a chance.
“Ellie, I have to tell you something, you have to be prepared,” Yahk said with a heavy heart.
“What is it? Just tell me. I’m strong enough. I’ve nearly died before anyway, you can still agitate me. It’s okay for me,” said Ellie cheekily. Although the things she said seemed so tragic, her tone didn’t sound sad at all.
Yahk took a few deep breaths, “Go and take a look online, several major online platforms are full of your photos...”
“Which platform? What photos?” Ellie couldn’t understand what he was talking about.
On the other hand, Nico shouted suddenly, “Oh my God! Ellie! Come here quickly! Something big happened!”
Ellie was shocked by his tone. She ran over with the phone in her hand. She was so shocked when she took a look at the computer. She was completely dumbfounded!
The photos were all about her! They were photos of her with her former boyfriend! There were photos of them kissing, their headshots, and even when they were having sex. Oh my God, she was going crazy! How could this happen? How did these pictures leak out?
“How can this be, how can this be… These photos… He said that he had deleted it… How…” Ellie panicked. She was trying her best to become famous, but definitely not in this way. If she was in the previous day, she might be quite happy about it. She would feel that it was okay to be seen by others because she had a good figure and it wasn’t a big deal. But now, she was in the entertainment industry. She knew what would happen to her when these photos leaked out to the public. In the year 2008, there was a big exposure of sexy photos in the entertainment industry. The parties involved hadn’t regained their position in the industry. Now, the former top actress had come to a point where she would get scolded by the public whenever she showed her face in the public…
…
‘Oh my God! Am I going to turn out like this too? My career has just getting started!’ thought Ellie.
“Ellie, quick! Think about who could have these photos. Hurry up and call him to delete them before the reporters find out!” Nico was very anxious too and his face turned pale. These posts were already seen by many people. There were many comments below the posts. There were all sorts of contents in the comments. Some were sympathy condemnation, some were laughing spectators. However, most of them attached their email to get more photos like this. If no one controlled the situation and let it went in, the photos would reach everyone within a few days.
Who had such a big hatred to make such a move? It didn’t matter if a man was seen, but this was a devastating blow to a woman’s reputation.
Nico hardly dared to think what the media would write tomorrow and what would happen to Ellie’s future career.
“Yes, yes… Call him… Call…” Ellie almost lost her soul, “Phone, where’s the phone…” She had just thrown it on the floor, but now it was missing already.
Ellie’s body became cold because she was too frightened. Finally, she found the phone in a haste. Her hands were trembling as she scroll through the contacts. She found the phone number of her ex- boyfriend and dialled the number.
The phone was picked up after a long ringtone, “Who is it?”
“You fucking bastard! You actually upload the photos to the Intranet! You fucking want to destroy me, don’t you…” Ellie opened her mouth and cursed.
“What photos? Upload what photos?”
“Shit, you are still playing dumb! If it wasn’t you who uploaded it, how could there be photos of us having sex on the Internet now! Damn it! You said it’s just for memorial and you’ll delete it later. Damn, why the photos are on Internet then? Is it because you saw that I’m famous now, you wanted to destroy me to balance your heart?”
“Oh, you talking about those photos. Those photos are quite nice. Your figure in the photos is very good. Since you mentioned that, I’m starting to miss that feeling. My dear, when are you coming back? Let’s meet up.”
“Meet in your dreams! Don’t talk nonsense! Are you the one who uploaded the photos? Hurry up and delete it! Are you trying to destroy me?” Ellie was furious! How could she have such a bastard boyfriend? She must be blind.
“Photos? I didn’t upload any photos at all. I just love to go to the pub. I don’t like to scroll on any social media. Oh! A few days ago, my phone fell into the water and I went to repair it. When I took it back, the phone is formatted and the photos were gone.”
“What?! Did you take your phone to the repair shop? Why didn’t you make a copy of the photos first!!!”
“What does it matter? Anyway, you have such a good body. Even the worker in the repair shop praised you.”
“How dare you show those photos to others! You bastard! Why don’t you go to hell! Go to hell!” Ellie was so angry that she smashed the phone. Her face was miserably pale.
“What should I do… What can I do now…” Ellie cried helplessly. She had lost her usual arrogant look now. Right at this moment, she was just an ordinary girl. She would be afraid and cry too.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. Let’s contact the social media administrator and ask them to delete the posts. We’ll delete it even if it costs some money.” Nico tried his best to comfort her.
Ellie was lost in her thoughts. She would just listen to anything Nico said. They went back to the computer again to learn how to contact the administrator and how to delete the posts. At first, they were excited that the administrators were quite cooperative in deleting the posts. Just when they thought that things were settled, someone put the photos into a download link. The link had ambiguous titles on it, such as ‘innocent pretty girl, hot pics inside’, ‘beautiful 90s slut’ and so on. The number of downloads was instantly clamouring. It was only less than half an hour, the link had already been downloaded several thousand times. According to this situation, the figure would shoot up to 100,000 by tomorrow.
Ellie mumbled in despair, “It’s over, it’s over, it’s all over. It’s going to be on the headlines tomorrow. My acting career is doomed…”
Nico did not know how to comfort her. He felt very sad to see Ellie so helpless. Suddenly, he thought of himself. The photos that Kayden was holding right now made him anxious and afraid too.
…
In front of the computer screen, Saniyah looked proudly at her masterpiece and burst into laughter. “Download it. Download more. The more people download it, the more people will share it. Then, this will spread wide like a virus. Soon, the world’s network is going to be filled with these shameful photos. Ellie, don’t blame me. Blame yourself for misbehaving and found out by me.”
Saniyah laughed in triumph. She really admired herself for coming up with such a brilliant idea. It was an idea that could completely destroy Ellie.
“It’s really fast, it’s already exceeded 50,000 downloads in one go. It seems to be no problem to reach 100,000 tonight. Ha ha ha, Ellie Jones, you definitely didn’t expect this situation today when you took these pictures. You must be so proud to think that you are in a good shape. I think they are blessed to see you, ha ha ha ha… I’m fulfilling your wish right now, and I will fulfil their desire to see at one go.” Saniyah laughed until her face was distorted. She looked like a vicious witch in a fairy tale. The ugliness of her heart was completely expressed on her face. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
“What’s going on? How come the posts are gone?” Suddenly, Saniyah stared at the screen in disbelief, and clicked on the refresh button, thinking that her computer must be lagging. However, all the web pages of the online platforms showed ‘This page can not be displayed’ after she refreshed them several times.
“Could it be that Ellie found out and got someone to delete it?” Saniyah thought about it for a while and felt that it was not possible. She immediately grabbed her phone and called the PR company, which was responsible for this incident. “What happened? Why the posts were deleted? I don’t care! I paid
you! You must make this incident as big as possible. If they delete it once, you post ten times again so that they can’t even delete it in time.” Saniyah scolded the PR company furiously.
The PR company answered her awkwardly, “Miss Steele, we have been using automation posting and manually boost the posts. But as long as the post is about this incident, it can’t be uploaded. Even if it is uploaded, it will be deleted in seconds. We contacted the platform owners, but they are not willing to let us post again. We also contacted several pieces of news media. At first, they are very interested and urge us to send them the photos, but later they called back and told us they don’t want to report it anymore. When I listened to their tone, I guess they were warned by the top management. Miss Steele, does this girl have some kind of background? We wouldn’t have offended someone important, right?”
Saniyah cursed impatiently, “She is just a small star. What kind of background can she have? She’s just the material to be someone’s second wife or mistress! There is nothing to be afraid of!”
However, the other party didn’t think so, “Miss Steele, I think we should be more cautious. This girl seems to have some power behind her to protect her. Otherwise, so many posts will not be deleted cleanly in a flash.”
...
Kayden was the first person that came into Saniyah’s mind. Was it him? Yes, besides him, who else is so capable of deleting so many posts in an instant. Moreover, who else can threaten a PR company which contained several thousand people.
Saniyah hung up the phone in a daze. A wave of unknown fear rushed to her heart. This man was too scary. She did it so stealthy and he could still find out that she was the culprit.
Would he help Ellie to take revenge? Would he find someone to hunt her down and kill her? Saniyah fell helplessly in front of the computer.
“Are things done?” Kayden’s tone was sullen. The cigarette in his hand tapped lightly on the ashtray.
