The Heiress' Savage Comeback
Simone had successfully hacked into a verified account belonging to Gray Entertainment, a company known for leaking accurate information. This account, which had gained the nickname "leak king," had a reputation for being a reliable source, and its disclosures carried significant credibility. Most of the leaks involved artists from rival companies and other entities in the entertainment industry. A year ago, this account had exposed Fiona's involvement in a scandal and provided supporting evidence. Now, Simone had taken control of the account as part of her plan to redeem Fiona's reputation. By using Gray Entertainment's own verified account to expose leaks and provide evidence, Simone aimed to silence them. After all, their own cultivated account had turned against them. What could they do? They were probably feeling helpless. In addition to taking over the verified account, Simone also hacked into the sock puppet company responsible for posting on behalf of Gray Entertainment. She discovered incriminating evidence of their involvement in Fiona's scandal, including transfer records and attempts to discredit her. Simone took a screenshot of these findings and promptly sent them to her email. With these tasks accomplished, Simone returned to monitoring the live broadcast. Gwen asked, "Should we release the evidence now? The online situation is getting worse. The sock puppets and anti-fans are demanding Fiona's removal from the show and a halt to the recording." "Many people in the live chat are still discussing her past. They're also pressuring Kelly. If this continues, can Kelly handle the pressure?" Simone glanced at the live broadcast, where the group was on a mountain. Fiona seemed isolated, with little interaction from other artists. However, she remained composed, free of self-doubt or embarrassment, radiating positivity and optimism.Simone replied, "It's not time yet. Let's wait a little longer. Let Fiona change everyone's perception through her own efforts. When those anti-fans become even more repulsive, then we can strike." Upon hearing Simone's words, Gwen thought about Fiona's recent efforts and nodded. "You're right. You're the one who can handle this." Simone smiled. "After all, I've been in this industry for a long time." As they continued watching, Gary and his team patiently waited, ready to act on Simone's command. After a while, Kelly reached out to Simone, hoping for her to take action. Simone persuaded them to resist the pressure. Not only did they allow Fiona to continue the live broadcast, but they also increased the number of shots. The variety show's theme was thrilling and challenging, aimed at pushing the limits. Activities included bungee jumping, walking on a cliffside plank road, and crossing a glass bridge between two mountains. A few days earlier, Kelly had warned the guests to be mentally prepared. However, if they genuinely couldn't face the challenge, no one would force them. Alternatively, it was acceptable if someone in the group completed the task. Everyone first tackled the glass bridge, divided into groups of three. Fiona and two other permanent guests, one male and one female, were grouped together. The female guest, an artist from Gray Entertainment, targeted Fiona more, isolating her from her teammates. While climbing the mountain, she "accidentally" sprained her foot. Since she was wearing cropped pants, her visibly swollen ankle was on display. She pretended to attempt to walk on the glass bridge. Then, she covered her foot, claimed she had tried her best but couldn't walk, and appeared emotionally distraught. As for the other two groups of six, even those with a slight fear of heights endured their apprehension and persevered. Fiona used to be afraid as well, but she had specifically trained for the past few days. As a result, she successfully crossed the bridge with the male guest, displaying a calm demeanor. They then proceeded to the cliffside plank road. After overcoming their fears through various means of self-encouragement, the other two groups of six people cautiously crossed the road under the guidance of the team leader. The male guest deliberately didn't wait for Fiona and walked with the team leader first. Fiona had long grown accustomed to such treatment, so she didn't change her expression or feel unhappy. With the assistance of the staff, she secured the safety rope and followed suit. Her performance in this situation won the favor of many audiences. Her fans were even more heartbroken. Previously, Fiona never needed to care about the attitude of a second-tier artist, yet now she was treated so coldly by one. However, Fiona indeed did not disappoint them; she was becoming stronger and stronger. Finally, it was time for bungee jumping off the cliff. This time, the other two groups of guests went first. Upon standing on the bungee jumping platform and looking down, they backed down and didn't have the courage to jump. Almost everyone chose to give up because they couldn't overcome their fear. Even for those who weren't afraid of heights, it was normal not to dare to jump off such a high cliff. Out of the six people, only one male guest chose to give it a try. He was usually a fan of extreme sports, so he managed to do it successfully but still screamed in fear. The male guest, who was in the same group as Fiona, attempted it on the stage but gave up because he was too scared to jump. Now, only Fiona remained, so she took a deep breath and said, "I'll give it a try." She walked up to the stage, closed her eyes, and reminisced about the events of the past year. She also recalled how Simone and Gwen had accompanied her to this cliff bungee jumping location, helping her overcome her fears and psychological barriers. Because of their encouragement and companionship, she conquered her fears and took that leap. As Simone says, it doesn't matter if others give up on me. What matters is that I should never give up on myself. No matter how challenging the road ahead is, as long as I persist, everything will turn out fine. Simone and Gwen believed in her, warmed her heart, and supported her. She couldn't let them down. Then she opened her eyes. She didn't play the victim or feign fear. She neither crafted a persona of strength and bravery nor exerted effort to overcome the situation. Instead, she smiled and jumped down. After a scream, she shouted, "Fiona, keep going!" This scene stunned the director and the other guests. Even though Fiona had been mistreated, she didn't give up and continued to embrace life with a smile. It was an indescribable sensation that defied words. The audiences who were tuning into the live broadcast were deeply moved as well.Many people expected Fiona to say something like "Get lost, sc*mbag!" or express her pitiful state. However, she surprised everyone. She simply whispered to herself to keep going, never give up, and face life with a smile. Numerous audiences empathized with their own challenging situations. For a moment, many couldn't help but be touched. Some even welled up with tears, and countless fans of Fiona couldn't help but shed a few themselves. Fiona's fans inundated the live chat with messages. 'Fiona, keep going!' Fans of other artists and passersby couldn't resist joining in. Simone's eyes sparkled with a smile. "I always knew she had it in her." For those who worked hard, were sincere, and kind, life would never disappoint them.Even if Fiona were compelled to leave the industry and find another job, Simone believed she could still maintain a positive and optimistic outlook. She signed Fiona not only to humiliate Titus but also because she admired Fiona's approach to life and work. With that, she sent a message to the operations team. 'We can start now.'
