The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 102 Simone's Charisma

When Simone came across a Facebook post by Leon, it didn't evoke any emotions in her. She expressed gratitude to Zac and others for their support by responding to their post, deliberately ignoring Leon. If she wanted to sever ties, she knew it had to be done cleanly. As before, she engaged with Leyla but brushed off Sc*mbag No. 5. Upon seeing Simone express gratitude to everyone except him, Leon felt disappointed, though not surprised. Simone's personality, characterized by a clear understanding of love and hate, was similar to his sister's. He was willing to wait. Zac and others continued to support Simone unwaveringly. Gray Entertainment's fake accounts remained inactive, causing fans of the sc*mbag couple and Fiona's detractors to flood their Facebook pages with insults. Naturally, Zac's fans retaliated. As night fell, rumors started circulating. They claimed that Simone was using geomancy and physiognomy to help Fiona clear her name. They argued that the way Simone described physiognomy was not accurate. However, Fiona's evident interference in other people's relationships was undeniable, and they were not convinced by any attempts to clear her name. At that moment, Simone was meeting with Lisa, Gwen's roommate. They had met once before and had a positive first impression of each other. Lisa successfully applied to be Simone's assistant. She had been busy taking care of things for her mother and sister in the past few days, causing a delay. Today, she came to the studio to start working. When Simone explained the upcoming work arrangements to Lisa, Gary knocked on the door and entered the room. "Miss Gray, the online sentiment is starting to go in the direction you predicted. Should we add fuel to the fire, or should we start clearing Fiona's name a bit?" Gary's eyes were filled with excitement. He had developed great admiration for Simone, as she accurately predicted all of Titus' actions. Simone pondered for a moment and replied, "No need. Let Titus' people spread rumors for the next few days. When bystanders see it for the first time, they might indeed feel disgusted with us. But if they consistently encounter these negative comments, they might develop a rebellious mentality. After being exposed to it for so long, they will find these people annoying. They will wonder why they can't stop cursing. Also, they won't even like the fans of those two. If we can turn the tables, it will also evoke a specific sentiment that the real victims are suffering greatly. Not only were they harmed by the perpetrators, but they were also relentlessly chased and cursed by their fans. This will elicit more sympathy and pity for Fiona, intensifying the disgust toward the two who betrayed her." She narrowed her eyes and added, "Well, I prefer a direct hit so they can taste the bitter fruit of their own actions and never recover. We don't need to clear Fiona's name now; otherwise, we might alert Titus and make him suspicious. Let him continue to misunderstand. Once they fall into this trap, they won't be able to climb out." Upon hearing this, Gary realized that he had been too eager to win and needed to remain calm, just as he had done before. His admiration for Simone reached new heights. They decided not to take any further action.The next day, the online sentiment took a turn for the worse. Many people started criticizing Simone as a fraudulent charlatan or a fame-seeking geomancer. The idea of using physiognomy to clear Fiona's name was completely unacceptable to everyone. With the support and funding from Gray Entertainment, the title 'Simone's Unorthodox Approach to Clearing Fiona's Name' quickly went viral. Simone's loyal followers became upset upon seeing this. Then, a verified geomancer on Facebook found two makeup-free photos of Fiona and posted them for analysis. He claimed that based on the physiognomy reading, Fiona was not the intruder but rather a victim of bad luck and malicious people. Simone's other loyal followers clicked on the post to see.'I've seen the makeup-free physiognomy reading of this girl, and it aligns with Master Quinton's conclusion.' 'I always knew our idol granddaughter was a kind-hearted and beautiful person. How could she possibly do something that would tarnish our industry and reputation? It's those people who are trying to smear her.' 'If those laypeople don't understand, they shouldn't speak recklessly. Fiona's physiognomy reading clearly shows that she has been harmed by malicious individuals. How could she be the one causing harm?' 'Yes, I see her as a victim based on her physiognomy reading.' 'Our idol granddaughter did the right thing.' 'Good deeds are rewarded, and evil deeds are punished. This girl's physiognomy reading clearly shows that she is good-hearted. With our idol granddaughter's help, her luck is about to turn around.' 'She was supposed to live a miserable life, but now she doesn't have to.' 'If that's the case, does this count as defying fate for Simone? Will it have any negative effects on her?' 'Our idol granddaughter isn't defying fate. She is doing good deeds and restoring destinies to where they should be.' 'Yes, defying fate involves using secret methods to change the fate or fortune of someone who is on the verge of death. That's when it becomes self-destructive.' 'Was that defying fate when she saved two children last time?' 'Like when our idol granddaughter observed the physiognomy reading last time and jumped into the water to save the children, it was about helping them avoid death, not defying fate.' 'Defying fate requires extraordinary means and is extremely difficult.' 'Many of those are witchcraft that legitimate geomancers rarely practice as it would harm themselves.' 'Physiognomy is just a way to predict and help people avoid danger in advance. It is a lifeline and kindness given by fate, and it is allowed.' 'Yes. That's why there are so many people who want to seek help from geomancy masters.' During their conversation, they realized that most of them were certified geomancy masters, and some of them were quite famous. Many wealthy individuals and celebrities who had consulted these masters admired Simone's charm. They were surprised that these masters liked her and openly supported her, prompting thoughts of seeking Simone's help in the future. As these masters came out in support, more people rallied behind Simone and Fiona. Moreover, this sparked suspicions that there might be a hidden agenda behind Fiona's involvement.The Gray Entertainment team noticed this and started spreading rumors. They either claimed that these masters were biased toward Simone because they were her fans, or they labeled them as mere con artists, supposedly "geomancy masters" hired by Simone. These comments infuriated the geomancy masters. They were not con artists at all and felt even more frustrated when they witnessed that some people actually believed these baseless accusations. Despite their attempts to defend themselves, it seemed futile; they had no choice but to wait and see how events would unfold to prove their innocence. In a collective response on Facebook and in the comments, they asserted, "The truth will be revealed, and someone will face the consequences." Many eagerly awaited the next development. Soon, it was time for Fiona to appear on a variety show. Lisa accompanied her and took care of some minor matters on her behalf. Simone and Gwen watched the live broadcast from their office, while Titus also tuned in on the other side. The variety show, which used to be pre-recorded, switched to live broadcasting for these two seasons. An episode of the pre-recorded session lasted two hours. The behind-the-scenes footage would be released separately. For the live broadcast, there was no behind-the-scenes footage. It started at 10 o'clock in the morning and concluded at 8 o'clock in the evening. During the broadcast, a two-hour break was scheduled for the guests. When Fiona appeared, the live chat became flooded with negative comments, disrupting the show's atmosphere and frustrating original viewers who came to enjoy the variety show. Despite calls for restraint, the fans, anti-fans, and fake accounts of the disliked couple refused to listen. As a result, their idol left a highly unfavorable impression on the audience. Criticism extended to Kelly. They questioned his judgment in inviting Fiona, a fallen artist, as a guest on the show. This prompted many bystanders to join in criticizing Kelly, Fiona, and Simone. Satisfied with what he saw, Titus instructed Chris to monitor the situation before ending the live broadcast and moving on to other tasks. Unbeknownst to him, right after the live broadcast ended, Simone hacked the fake account, which tarnished her and Fiona's reputation the most.
