The Kiss that Sparked it All (Ellinor and Theo) novel Chapter 2419

Most of Ivy's fans didn’t show up on the internet, but deep down they knew that on the vast expanse of the internet, disliking Ivy had become the prevailing trend.

These devoted fans, who genuinely admired her, were now being labeled as crazed and delusional.

One fan declared defiantly: [I know who Ivy really is, and I won't start hating her just because there's a mob out there trying to drag her through the mud.]

In their fan club chat rooms, they sought solace among themselves.

[I've met Ivy. I know she's a genuinely good girl through and through. It breaks my heart to see her being slandered like this, to see all this filth being flung at her! Ivy hasn't done anything to deserve this hatred. Why must she endure such vile insults? Wasn't the drama on the set resolved? Why isn't anyone standing up to clear Ivy's name now?]

[Don't you see why? Ivy doesn't have a powerhouse agency behind her; she's just a newbie actress fresh on the scene. These days, I've heard that the production is on its final legs, racing against the clock. Chances are, they're oblivious to the storm brewing online! Oh, how I wish those rumors about Ivy having a strong backer were true—at least then she'd have a fighting chance to clear her name. Are we supposed to just accept this smear campaign against her? It really hurts to see her like this.]

Indeed, Ivy hadn't anticipated that even amid such dire straits, she'd still have a cohort of fans steadfast in their belief in her.

She also noticed how some fans fell silent and drifted away from the fan groups after the controversy. Worse yet, a few switched sides, becoming her detractors and joining the chorus of online bashing.

She didn't blame them; after all, they were strangers, and she had no right to demand their belief.

Yet, when she saw those who truly cared for her, she couldn't help but feel a stinging sensation behind her eyes.
