As long as Nicole was labelled as a slut, everything that she did was wrong. With this comparison, the couple’s relationship became even more stable.
“Haha.”
Looking at her phone, Sophia chuckled. She then looked for the day’s news. Probably because the public’s attention had been diverted to the cheating incident, the incident regarding Richard blackmailing Michael had been temporarily halted. Thus, the scandals regarding Taylor on the Internet slowly subsided.
The rankings of a few celebrities from Glory Entertainment dropped because of Richard’s incident. Taylor’s ranking then gradually rose, inching closer to the top ten.
On the third day after Richard held the press conference, netizens were still talking about the incident. All of Nicole’s videos had been diffused and she was quickly blacklisted. All of her contracts were cancelled and her films were taken down. She was blacklisted by the entire industry.
Slowly, the incident got lesser attention. In this digital age, news came rather swiftly, but they disappeared quite fast too. Richard was starting to clean his reputation, and he was now on the verge of success, but unexpectedly, Nicole suddenly broadcasted her suicide live on a huge live broadcasting station at this moment!
Standing at the rooftop of a popular convention center in Bayside City, she was broadcasting everything live. She was bawling her eyes out, crying so badly that her veins protruded and her face reddened. Tears and snot were flowing out, but she did not care about her image at all. Her body kept shaking uncontrollably as she sobbingly said, “I really can’t hang in there anymore… I was forced to sleep with them. If I don’t sleep with them… I won’t be able to clear my debt that I owe the company. I have no choice… They want me dead… If I have a choice, I wouldn’t have chosen to sign with Glory Entertainment. It is like hell here… I was ordered around by them like an animal, enslaved by them… I have to keep socializing, casting couch… Sleeping with investors… Sleeping with those from the media… But in the end, it’s the other artists in the company that get the benefits… Hahaha, I’m such a fool…”
Looking into the camera, she alternated between sobs and laughter. Her speech was barely coherent, while her saliva, tears and snot dripped to the ground as she wept. It was a saddening scene.
This live broadcast caused a huge commotion on the Internet, garnering more than a million viewers. The netizens who were badmouthing Nicole on the previous day had a change in opinion too. All of them came to persuade her against suicide by sending her messages to her live session.
‘Don’t do this. You’re so pretty and you have such good acting skills. Your future is bright. Don’t end your life!’
‘Oh my! There are still so many untold stories. This lady doesn’t have anyone to support her. That’s why I was wondering how she managed to cause such a major incident.’
‘There is surely a mastermind behind this incident. I have a friend working in Glory. He told me that Richard only came to Glory a few months, yet he had slept with all of the female artists in their company. This matter is simple. It’s Richard who went behind his wife’s back. Now that his affair has been exposed, he’s pushing all the blame to this lady!’
‘I can’t believe there’s such a thing. They want these artists who play walk-on parts to sleep with other people in exchange for resources! Oh my! This is so evil!’
Richard immediately called his contacts when he saw the live broadcast. “Contact that broadcast station. Ask them to stop Nicole’s broadcast at this instant! If they refuse, ask them their price. I want to buy their company as soon as possible!”
The Harper Family purchased the broadcast station in the shortest time possible, instantly stopping Nicole’s broadcast.
The broadcast online stopped, but the matters that were offline were not settled yet. Nicole had chosen a busy place to jump off the building. Within a few moments, it was already crowded below; even the fire and rescue department were alerted.
Under the watchful eyes of tens and thousands of people, Nicole jumped off the building out of despair. Luckily, the fire and rescue department arrived in time. They had placed an air mattress a second before she jumped off the building. Slamming into the air mattress, she only sustained minor injuries. Then, she was sent to the hospital.
Everyone owned a camera phone nowadays, so Nicole’s suicide attempt out of hopelessness easily circulated on the Internet, swiftly making the headlines once again.
Everything she had said before she jumped off the building seemed like she was so hopeless that she had lost her rationality. Though her speech was incoherent, she exposed a major inside news. All of the important information was revealed too.
