+25 Printa

Amelia’s public response regarding Zoey joining the cast of *Treatment Diary* caused the heat of the

incident to skyrocket once again.

The internet instantly split into two opposing, hostile camps, arguing fiercely across every platform.

Because of Amelia’s confident message, a significant portion of netizens began to suspect there was a hidden story behind Zoey and Wayne’s messy breakup.

They impatiently looked forward to the “shocking truth” she promised to announce later, their curiosity piqued to the maximum.

However, another group firmly believed that Wayne had already been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion years ago.

They thought this was nothing more than Amelia forcibly whitewashing a stained actor to build hype for

her unreleased new drama.

Some even maliciously speculated that Amelia was keeping Wayne as her sugar baby, casting dirty

aspersions on her motives.

Despite the skepticism from these detractors, Amelia’s true identity as the “Shadow Healer Lily” had already been exposed to the world.

Coupled with her crushing, undeniable victory in the music field, she had accumulated a fierce and

devoted fanbase.

These fans worked tirelessly online, charging into battle for her like a disciplined army.

They were going head–to–head with trolls and haters, refusing to let any slander stand uncorrected.

As a result, any topic related to Amelia shot to the top of trending lists without spending a single dollar on

promotion.

This kind of organic, self–generating buzz was the sort of thing other struggling artists would sell their

souls for.

Countless entertainers teetering on the edge of obscurity watched the screen with eyes red from jealousy.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside Gale Entertainment was one of utter, desperate chaos.

The company’s stock price continued its avalanche–like collapse, wiping out millions in value within hours.

Alpha Arthur York’s phone was almost blown up by angry shareholders demanding answers for the financial disaster.

Chapter 401: Jade Issues Statement.

Accountability questions rose one after another, drowning him in immense pressure.

To turn the tide and save his crumbling empire, Arthur decided to make a desperate gamble.

He planned to exploit the heating public opinion around Zoey and Wayne to forcibly hype his own upcoming drama, *The Rising Starm*.

At the same time, he intended to use the opportunity to smear *Treatment Diary* as an inferior

production.

He instructed the marketing department to purchase a brigade of paid online commenters to flood the

forums.

Then, he tried to order his daughter, Jade York, to post on social media promoting the official start of

filming for *The Rising Storm*.

However, Jade turned a deaf ear to his commands, showing absolute defiance.

She directly hung up the phone without saying a single word to her father.

Flustered and exasperated by her rebellion, Arthur had no choice but to turn his pressure onto the show’s

male lead, Yves.

He demanded that this actor, who had always been known for having zero scandals, speak up publicly to

save the project.

In Arthur’s view, as long as *The Rising Storm* could finish filming and go online first, they would seize the

market initiative.

Forced by his boss’s coercion, Yves posted a brief message on social media: “Ready to start filming.”

Although this attracted support from a group of die–hard fans, it also ignited a massive war between the

fanbases.

Arguments about the comparison between the two dramas and controversies over plagiarism made the

situation increasingly chaotic and vicious.

Just as the war of public opinion was at its peak, Jade suddenly posted a statement on social media that

shocked the entire network.

“I have decided to withdraw from the role of female lead in *The Rising Storm*. Please do not mention it

again.”

This news was like a depth charge dropped into a calm lake, instantly detonating the entire internet.

Arthur frantically dialed his daughter’s number, his fingers trembling with rage, but not a single call connected.

Subsequently, he sent a long text message filled with venomous threats and insults.

In the message, he cursed Jade for being greedy and kicking him while he was down.

He threatened her menacingly, trying to use money to control her one last time.

“If you don’t immediately post claiming your account was hacked, I will change my will right now!”

“I will transfer all shares under my name to your cousin!”

“You won’t get a single penny from the York family!”

Facing her father’s financial threat, Jade showed no fear whatsoever.

She sneered at the screen and replied with cold, burning determination.

“Fine! I’ll burn it all down and take you with me.”

“A cheating bastard, betrayed by his own mistress.”

“Raising another man’s son for over twenty years – you deserve every bit of this.”

Immediately after sending the reply, she took a screenshot of Arthur’s flustered and exasperated

threatening message.

She posted it directly to social media with a simple, damning caption: “Here is the reason.”

The comment section completely boiled over with shock and excitement.

Netizens expressed sympathy for Jade having such a profit–seeking, ruthless father.

At the same time, the conversation confirmed the previous rumors that Hugh York was actually the

butler’s illegitimate son.

The direction of public opinion instantly reversed completely against Arthur.

Gale Entertainment’s reputation fell to rock bottom, destroyed by its own leader’s family scandal.

*The Rising Storm* completely collapsed due to the double blow of the female lead quitting and the

investor’s dirty laundry.

Amelia saw Jade’s post on her tablet while sitting in the safety of the Stone house.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly in a knowing smile.

She remembered the information Silas had investigated and compiled earlier regarding Jade’s personality.

The outside world had evaluated Jade with a specific, accurate phrase.

“A she–wolf who doesn’t bow to anyone.”

It had to be said that Jade truly had determination and courage.

For the sake of revenge, she was willing to personally send Gale Entertainment, into the abyss.

She refused to keep living as a kept wolf, surviving on scraps of false prosperity that Arthur dangled over

her head.
