Harry and Taylor’s fans were already accustomed to their sarcastic and offensive remarks, so they fiddled with their cell phones instead of paying them any attention.
Taylor’s films had grossed 5,000,000,000 in total at the box office last year, whereas the combined box office of Nicholas’s two films could scarcely reach one-tenth of it, so they didn’t have to argue with Nicholas’s fans at all.
An idol who overestimated himself after a short time of popularity like Nicholas would only stay popular for another few years at most before slowly becoming over-the-hill. God knew how many such idols had foolishly attempted to provoke Taylor over the years, so Taylor’s fans were already accustomed to it.
Sophia had been notified by the group admins beforehand, so she didn’t give Nicholas’s fans any response to avoid attracting negative publicity for her Lord. No matter what Nicholas’s fans said, she simply wouldn’t respond.
It seemed that the fangirls across from her had attempted to pick a fight with her because of her particularly girlish and youthful appearance, which gave them the wrong impression that she must be quick-tempered and easy to bully.
However, little did they know that Sophia would pay zero attention to them.
Nicholas’s fans continued to demean Taylor and Harry sarcastically. However, Taylor and Harry’s fans seemed to be unconcerned, for none of them answered back.
Sophia ridiculed Nicholas’s fans in her mind while listening to their taunts.
An invitation letter to the Academy Awards ceremony? Excuse me, my Lord is both the first Cethosian to win an Academy Award for Best Actor and a lifetime member of the Academy Awards’ review committee!
He isn’t offered to appear in commercials, variety shows and reality shows? Sorry, but Tay Tay is never short of money.
A male celebrity who’s past his prime? F*ck that! Tay Tay can single-handedly beat 100 sissy idols like that idol of yours!
Verbal attacks could no longer produce any effect on Harry and Taylor’s fans, but Nicholas’s fans wouldn’t leave it at that.
Their idol had done everything possible to get an invitation letter to the Academy Awards ceremony, but he only managed to sit in the last row at the ceremony and cadge a red-carpet walk while he was at it. Not only that, he was nearly chased away by the security personnel!
Still, his presence at the Academy Awards ceremony could indeed maintain his popularity for some time. However, they needed to generate more news coverage, and the story of Taylor’s fans bullying Nicholas’s fans would be a good idea!
They would orchestrate the incident and have Nicholas make a tearful appearance after that. He would tearfully apologize to Taylor on his fans’ behalf and took all the blame upon himself, passing himself off as a naive and innocent young celebrity who was isolated from the rest of the entertainment industry. Everyone would subconsciously sympathize with the weak, and with some smear campaign, the entire incident would immediately be misrepresented as a case of bullying done by a senior in the entertainment industry against his fellow junior. Not only could they ride on Taylor’s popularity, but they could also put him down by doing so.
Nicholas was managed by Glory Entertainment, which was coincidentally funded by the Harper Family.
Sophia was hungry again since she had only eaten a cup of instant noodles. Had she known the flight would be delayed, she would have waited for Michael at home instead. She sat on the floor and was about to fall asleep when she suddenly felt a cool sensation on her head; as it turned out, one of Nicholas’s fangirls took her cap away.
The fangirl put Sophia’s cap on her own head to which the others commented on her appearance, “Why did you put on such a stupid hat? Hurry up and give it back!”
“Yeah, or you won’t have a chance to escape when the fangirl blows her top!”
“This cap looks so stupid! The fans of a has-been are just different. Look at their taste in clothing!”
Sophia lost her temper at once. She stood up and snatched her cap back, but the other party immediately started pushing and shoving her.
“What are you doing? All we did was borrow your cap for a while. Why are you getting physical?”
“What gives an over-the-hill male celebrity the gall to be so smug?”
“Oh, that’s so great of over-the-hill gay celebrities! Is everyone in your fan community homo? Yuck, that’s so disgusting!”
Not only did Nicholas’s fans snatch Sophia’s cap, they also pulled at her wings. However, Sophia wasn’t someone to be messed with either. With a forceful push, she shoved the fangirls who were pulling at her wings out of the way.
Unfortunately, that push was enough to spark trouble. Nicholas’s fangirls immediately flopped onto the floor and screamed, “Aaah! Someone is hitting people!”
