Chapter 112: Chapter 110: Lily Sterling Blows Up the Hot Search Again

It was a message from James Lockwood. Cecilia Sterling’s expression instinctively turned serious; she immediately guessed it was about her younger sister.

Sure enough, as she slowly made sense of the long message from James Lockwood, her expression grew even darker.

"What’s wrong?"

Estelle Goodman noticed Cecilia Sterling’s troubled expression and couldn’t help but lean in to ask.

Cecilia Sterling handed the phone to Estelle Goodman, letting her see for herself.

Estelle Goodman had followed celebrities for years. Though she wasn’t active in any fandoms, she was well aware of some of their more bizarre behaviors.

"This kind of extreme behavior from obsessive fans is rare. The important thing is that she’s okay," Estelle Goodman said, trying to comfort Cecilia and ease her worries.

Cecilia Sterling wasn’t one to dwell on things, but since this involved her younger sister, she was bound to be a little angry.

But she also knew such incidents were uncontrollable. Especially in the entertainment industry, nothing should come as a surprise.

James Lockwood’s attitude was sincere, and he had sent Connie over with security, promising that her younger sister’s personal safety would never be threatened again. She had no reason to be angry with him.

Besides, it wasn’t his fault.

After a moment of thought, Cecilia Sterling sighed. ’Whose fault was it, anyway? Nobody’s. No one wanted this to happen, and no one could control it.’

Once you become a public figure, you’re exposed to over a billion people. No one can control the personal actions of that many individuals.

"You go ahead and eat. I’m going to video call my sister," Cecilia Sterling said. She took her phone, walked over to the living room’s floor-to-ceiling window, and started a video call with Lily Sterling.

The call connected. Judging by the background, Lily Sterling was already in the dressing room, having her makeup done.

"Sis!"

Upon seeing her older sister, Lily Sterling called out sweetly. Judging by the sound of her voice, nothing seemed to be wrong.

Cecilia Sterling smiled faintly. "I heard about what happened this morning. You must have been scared, huh?"

Lily Sterling was taken aback. "You found out that quickly?"

Then, she put on a smile to reassure her sister. "I’m fine, Sis. I was scared at the time, but I’m over it now."

Her younger sister was guileless and a terrible liar. Seeing that she seemed perfectly fine, Cecilia Sterling believed her.

’This industry is like Grandview Garden; anything can happen. No matter how far I try to reach, there will always be times I can’t protect her. There are some situations and some things she has to face on her own. She’ll have to grow up eventually.’

「That afternoon, the story hit the trending topics as expected.」

First, passersby and the obsessive fans posted the morning’s ridiculous videos across major platforms.

Then, these obsessive fans began a coordinated campaign, openly demanding an explanation from Andrew Sutton’s agency and team: Why did they let him film a kiss scene?!

Immediately after, Andrew Sutton’s agency issued a public statement. It concisely stated that filming kiss scenes was a necessary part of an actor’s career and a basic professional requirement. The agency also condemned the extreme behavior of certain obsessive fans, declaring they had crossed the line between fan and idol. Lastly, it apologized to Lily Sterling, who had been innocently embroiled in the incident.
