Online public opinion has become strange. Many netizens have started to denounce obsessive fans. Instead, fewer people are paying attention to scandals like fights.
Ashlyn stood at the back of the crowd wearing a mask, trying to minimize her presence by shrinking into a corner. She was the first person to incite those fans, but after those girls went crazy, she immediately hid in the crowd. Seeing that things didn't develop in the direction she wanted them to go, she felt resentful.
Why could Sylvia avoid danger again without even showing up? After Abdullah was fired from his job and Kinley lost her marriage directly through divorce with him.
Sylvia's "The Beggarly Girl Is A Noble Lady" was immediately approved for release. It was lightning fast! The Ritter family were all going crazy about it, especially Mrs. Ritter and Ashlyn.
Why did they lose so much while Sylvia succeeded smoothly? While everyone was interviewing Simeon and Eden on stage during their dance performance at the event, Ashlyn quietly slipped away outside.
After leaving the press conference venue, she took an elevator directly down to the underground garage and drove away while talking on the phone with Mrs. Ritter. "This is terrible! They gave this movie free publicity again."
Mrs. Ritter couldn't help but scold her. "You're really something else! Why did you act alone without consulting me? Originally there wasn't much buzz around their scheduled press conference; trending topics were ranked at rock bottom. You went over there and stirred up trouble; your operation skills are amazing - you pushed them straight up to trending topic number one - all of trending topics are about this movie now! You're driving me insane!"
Wasn't this intentionally advertising Sylvia's movie? Not only that but also helping Eden and Poppy solidify their image as a couple...
"Ashlyn, you've lost big time with this move."
"Mom..." Ashlyn felt even more upset after being analyzed by Mrs. Ritter like that.
She talked on phone while driving until suddenly out of distraction she saw a motorized tricycle rushing out from an intersection.
"Ahh!" She screamed as she slammed on brakes hard then turned sharply but only heard a loud bang as her car crashed heavily into a flower bed by roadside!
The old man on the motorized tricycle was also startled. He saw the car rush past and violently collide with the flower bed on the side of the road, shattering all of its cement.
If it had hit his tricycle...
Would he have been killed instantly?
Mrs. Ritter heard a scream and her heart tightened in an instant. "Ashlyn? Ashlyn? What's wrong? What happened?"
She rushed out in panic, "Driver, driver! Go fast!"
At this moment, Ashlyn did not hit the motorized tricycle but collided with the flower bed instead. The front of her car was deformed and emitting thick smoke.
Her forehead slammed into the windshield heavily and at that instant, her airbag deployed.
Blood flowed down her forehead onto the steering wheel as intense pain made it feel like every organ in her body was about to burst.
She frowned as everything around her became blurry. She tried to open the car door but couldn't muster any strength.
Many passersby and vehicles stopped to watch due to this accident while some called for an ambulance or police respectively.
After more than ten minutes had passed, both police officers and paramedics arrived at different times while that old man cooperated by giving a statement before being released once they confirmed he wasn't involved in any wrongdoing.
When Mrs. Ritter arrived at hospital half an hour later, she anxiously waited in a white corridor while police officers conducted investigations including reviewing Ashlyn's driving recorder data which ultimately revealed she caused this traffic accident by talking on phone while driving thus taking full responsibility for it herself.
"Fortunately no one got hurt but if that old man had been hit then he would be critically injured now," said one serious-looking officer to Mrs. Ritter who felt angry hearing such words because she worried about Ashlyn's condition so much. "How can you say that? My daughter is lying inside emergency room right now! If anything happens to her, I won't let go of that old man!"
"He was just walking normally across street when your daughter ran over there herself hitting flower beds," replied another officer annoyed by Mrs. Ritter's unreasonable behavior.
Mrs. Ritter was about to burst out laughing, "There was no traffic light at that intersection, so my daughter didn't run a red light! If he hadn't rushed out, would my daughter have had an accident?"
"It's all his fault. He shouldn't have appeared on that road! He shouldn't have crossed the street suddenly!"
