Meanwhile, back on the live stream, Alicia wasn’t about to make things easy for them just because of a few words.
She gave them a polite yet distant smile and said, “I think it’s better if we don’t. We’re not really close. I wouldn’t dare try to chase your spotlight, and I definitely wouldn’t pretend to be in your league.”
With a look that seemed to plead for a break, she added, “Let’s just act like strangers, since that’s what we are anyway.”
Everyone in the room was left speechless once again.
Right then, everyone had the same thought. ‘How does Alicia dare to be this savage?
‘Nicolas is the heir of Starlight Entertainment, and Maxwell is the son of the Delaney family. Isn’t she afraid they’ll join forces and shut her out of the industry for good?’
Even through the screen, everyone could see Alicia was treating these two top stars like they were bad luck magnets.
It was as if just getting close to them would jinx her, and she was just hoping they’d keep their distance.
She wasn’t even trying to hide how much she wanted nothing to do with them.
BlessYa: […]
Runaway: [I just have to say, Alicia is a total badass. She’s really just being herself on this show.]
Lilies: [LOL, Alicia looks like she’s begging them to stay away from her. That’s hilarious.]
Ever Young: [I bet Alicia is the first person in the entertainment and esports worlds who’s ever had the guts to openly diss two top stars to their faces.]
Saladlover; [She really says whatever she wants and does whatever she wants!]
Remember_me: [I used to see all those negative trending topics about her, and honestly, I didn’t like her much. But after seeing how gutsy she is, I’m just neutral now.]
BeHappy: [Alicia is literally saying everything I wish I could say in real life.]
Yourcall: [At this moment, Alicia isn’t just beautiful. She’s got that cool, badass vibe too, right?]
Alicia’s fans were screaming in the comments: [Bravo, Alicia! I love how she’s always so bold!]
Alllicia: [I just love how Alicia never backs down. If she’s not convinced, she’ll go for it head-on.]

She’d already called out her fellow LUMIA members right on the spot before, and of course, she got a ton of hate and backlash for it.
Even though Nicolas and Maxwell were top stars, not everyone was a fan.
Plus, everyone knew Alicia had gotten roasted online because of those two.
Now, she was bold enough to set boundaries, basically saying, “We’re not close, so just don’t get me involved.” Everyone could totally understand her.
After all, they could tell Alicia was definitely not the type to play the saint.
And her attitude just made it even more obvious. The whole “faking her status” thing was probably a smear campaign cooked up by her agent to drag her down behind the scenes.
Fans of other idols and even random viewers started to see Alicia as genuinely real. She was basically saying out loud everything they wished they could say themselves.
So at that moment, everyone’s impression of her began to change.
Of course, the fans of Nicolas, Maxwell, and Nicole were totally losing it.
Nico_go: [Alicia is so full of herself/ The two kings were just being nice for the show, and she doesn’t even know how to appreciate it.]
Gamelover: [Who does Alicia think she is, anyway?]
Gamekinghere: [As if Nicolas and Maxwell would ever bother with her. She’s just trying to make herself look good by clinging to them.]
Bilili: [Stay away from Nicolas. We don’t want Alicia anywhere near him. She better not even try.]
Back_to_peak: [Best if they just stay strangers. Let’s see if Alicia can actually keep her promise. Max isn’t gonna bother with her anyway.]
MyTurf: [Just wait, those two are gonna tear Alicia apart and drag her with their savage comebacks.]
Bella: [Nicole’s way prettier, sweeter, and has way better manners than Alicia, hands down.]
NoKidding: [Alicia seriously thinks she’s the main character here. Nicolas and Maxwell are only here for Nicole, period.]
User0925: [They were just being nice, and she actually thought it meant something.]
Sprayer: [Next to Nicole, Alicia’s a nobody. Her looks, her figure, her personality, her star power, her popularity. Nicole leaves her in the dust in every single way. Honestly, Alicia’s got some nerve showing up and making a fool of herself.]
AsleepN: [Yup, I don’t get how anyone calls her a stunning beauty. Next to Nicole, she’s just a clown in a burlap sack.]
