Chapter 1107
In the world of showbiz, it was only natural for actresses within the same age group to be compared. Nicole Aspen, a former star of teen dramas, had successfully transitioned her career and managed to sweep almost every mainstream award before reaching the age of thirty. On the other hand, Bella Young, despite attempting a career shift, found herself confined to the realm of teen dramas. The rivalry between their respective fan bases had been ongoing, and Bella’s fans had always come up short.
Winning awards served as a clear way to establish dominance in these fan wars, and Bella lacked any acting accolades to wield as ammunition. What could her fans possibly use to level the playing field?
However, things took an unexpected turn with the official announcement of the drama series, Twinkling Lights. Bella’s fans finally had something to boast about. They flooded social media with triumphant posts and tweets, even going so far as to leave snide comments on Nicole’s social media pages. Naturally, Nicole’s fans were far from pleased, prompting one of her devoted followers to take it upon themselves to write a lengthy post in the afternoon:
[Let me share a story with you. A and B were the best of friends. They both auditioned for a particular role, and their appearances were a perfect fit for the character. However, during the audition, A s performance outshone B’s, ultimately securing her the role. B, happy for her friend,
suggested they celebrate with a drink.
A ended up drinking excessively, to the point of being heavily intoxicated. The next morning, she woke up in a hotel room naked. Finding no visible signs of sexual assault, she didn’t think much of it and carried on with her work, eagerly awaiting the contract offer from the production team.
To her surprise, the expected contract never arrived. Instead, A found herself facing the exposure of compromising photos. These pictures depicted her having sex with a married man, and she instantly became the target of public criticism. Not only did she lose the contract, but the production of the drama she was filming was also halted. On top of that, she was even demanded to pay a significant amount in breach of contract fees.
A noticed that the photos were taken at the same hotel where she had gotten drunk that night. Determined to uncover the truth, she confronted B. However, B claimed to be unaware of the situation and avoided A, citing a busy schedule as an excuse.
The relentless online backlash, combined with the enormous financial burden, pushed A into a severe mental breakdown. Her depression resurfaced, and her family convinced her to leave the entertainment industry and seek treatment. During this difficult time, B posted on her social media, celebrating her successful contract signing. It turned out that the role she secured was the same one A had almost signed for.
The next day, A committed suicide by jumping off a building.
