Chapter 7 - Chapter 7: Escalating Situation

Linda furrowed her brows. "Could it be that someone wants to harm me?"

"After all, when you're famous, there will always be controversies." Sparkle Gold furrowed her brows as well, half worried, half sighing.

Knowing that what she said made sense, Linda put down her doubts. "So what should we do now? This is a crucial moment for the newcomer award selection, and this issue cannot affect it."

With her brows furrowed, Sparkle wore a face of grievances and hatred, as if she couldn't hold back her worries.

Aaron Lawson, who had learned of the situation, rushed over in a hurry. As soon as he entered, he loudly questioned, "Sparkle Gold, look at what you've done! Do you want to ruin Linda?"

Sparkle laughed coldly, looking at him, "Linda is my cousin. I brought her to where she is; I am more anxious than anyone. Besides, who are you to her? What right do you have to yell at me?"

Aaron was at a loss for words, "I..."

"Sis, Aaron is just worried about me." Linda quickly tried to mediate, fearing their relationship might be exposed.

Sparkle pretended not to notice anything, "Let's say that Linda overstrained herself because of acting, injured her voice, and didn't want to disappoint her fans, so she reluctantly found someone to dub for her."

"That's a good idea." Linda excitedly ordered her manager to do it.

The manager issued a statement, included a doctor's certification, and bought a large number of internet trolls to clear things up.

"Truly feel bad for Linda, working so hard, yet still being scolded"

"Which celebrity doesn't use dubbing in acting these days? Why keep picking on our Linda? Moreover, she damaged her voice for acting and spent money to hire a voice actor so her fans wouldn't be disappointed. Such a good idol, I'll support her forever!"

"Linda is the most dedicated celebrity I've seen — she looks good, acts well, and has a good voice, and she's not pretentious. Support her!"

"It must be that voice actor wanting fame that smeared Linda on purpose. Our Linda won't take the blame."

...

Seeing the online voices increasing, even some people posted stills to strongly prove Linda's innocence.

Aaron was the first to retweet in support, "Linda is truly a dedicated actress. Every time I see her, she's earnestly studying the script. I hope everyone shows more understanding and tolerance."

Linda retweeted this post, adding a pitiful emoji.

Fans rallied around her, angrily cursing those who allegedly smeared her.

Now that both the male and female leads have come out, it's time to release the info.

Sparkle picked up the phone to signal a friend, but suddenly heard Linda scream.

"What's going on? Who's smearing me?"

Deleting the message she was editing, Sparkle asked, puzzled, "What happened?"

"Look, someone's released photos of me filming, comparing them with lip-syncing." Linda was almost losing her temper, as every photo was clear; how could she argue?

Sparkle quickly went to check the internet.

Sure enough, the screen was full of lip-syncing comparisons, each one a high-definition picture, incredibly clear.

And the trending topic sprang up suddenly.

The online scolding intensified.

"Shameless, isn't this a slap in the face now?"

"Linda Hancock is truly a white lotus, and Aaron Lawson helping her, you can tell he's not a good guy. Betting, he definitely has some affair with that white lotus."

"Disgusting pair, make me sick! Just go to hell; actors are just actors, always doing these ugly things!"

...

Sparkle was secretly amazed: she hadn't told Zoe to release the info, so who did?

Are they helping her, or against Linda Hancock?
