The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 61 Responding Immediately

The production team finished counting the little red flowers. The director congratulated Simone and her groupmates, saying, "Congratulations to your group for winning first place and earning the most flowers. Well-deserved." "We mentioned before that if we won first place, we could make a request to the production team." "What request do you want to make then?" asked the director. Simone and the other two groupmates all turned to look at Eric, implying that he should answer the question. In fact, they had already discussed this in case they won first place. Eric, being the oldest and most refined among them, was chosen as the representative. He smiled at the director and said, "We've already discussed it beforehand. If we get first place, we want the production team to donate a library, as well as musical instruments and art supplies, to the school in the village. The children really enjoy reading extracurricular books, playing musical instruments, and drawing. So, we hope they can continue to expand on these extracurricular interests." This request surprised everyone present, but they also understood its importance. The children were amazed and delighted, looking at Jonah with bright eyes. Jonah was more than willing to do something meaningful like this. He made a gesture and said, "No problem, we will arrange it according to the children's preferences." When the children heard his affirmative reply, they cheered. Simone and the other three smiled sincerely from the bottom of their hearts, seeing the joy on the children's faces.This made the people from the other group feel quite uncomfortable. Their group was completely outperformed. Jodie couldn't help but feel bitter, realizing that Simone and the others knew how to make an impact. Their performance would surely receive a lot of praise online. Her guess was correct; the live chat was filled with compliments for Simone and their group. After the show ended, the two groups returned to the courtyard to pack their belongings. The director collected their phones and promised to return them in the next episode. At the same time, he told them to open the boxes and take their own phones. Then, Jonah announced the end of this season's variety show.The live broadcast was turned off. This time, they didn't have to walk down the mountain. The production team arranged cars to pick them up from the normal road. The guests left in the same cars they arrived in. When they reached the intersection, the cars were already parked there in advance. Zac wanted to spend more time with Simone later. However, the matter between Simone and Leon had not been resolved. If he asked for a separate car, it might affect her reputation. So, he smiled and asked the three people in the same group, "Are you all going back to Cebros?" "Yeah," they nodded. Zac suggested, "How about the four of us share a car? We can chat on the way to the airport and kill some time.""We're all going back to Cebros, so we're probably on the same flight," Simone agreed, along with the other two. After discussing with Jonah Chapman, the four of them got into a car and left first. Aaron and Jodie were supposed to ride in the same car. He remembered something he saw online, so he invited Leon, "Leon, why don't you ride with us? I have something to discuss with you." Leon had been staring at Simone and the others' car as it drove away. He had originally planned to ride with Simone and then bring up the topic of their relationship being exposed, but he was too slow. Only after hearing Aaron's words did he snap back to reality. "Alright." The three of them got into the same car, leaving Leyla standing alone, awkward.Watching the car leave, Leyla felt a surge of anger. Without the camera pointing at them, these three revealed their true colors. How rude of them to just leave me without a word or acknowledgment. Leon and Aaron were big shots who didn't pay any attention to her, and she had accepted that. Jodie, a C-lister, had no right to act superior in front of her, a B-lister. It was incredibly impolite. The other group seemed to have a much more harmonious relationship. She regretted her decision to choose Aaron and Jodie, thinking they were good. It was a moment of stupidity. Next time, she would try to change groups. In the first car, Simone and the other three took out their phones and checked the week's accumulated messages, replying to them. They also checked the reactions to their participation in this live broadcast variety show. Then they stumbled upon some juicy gossip. Especially Eric, who saw the official website comments from the production team discussing Simone and Aaron being siblings, as well as speculating about her relationship with Leon. He exited the app and checked the trending topics. Sure enough, there were two trending topics about Simone and Leon's relationship. He clicked on them and read through them, and he felt a bit stunned. He never expected Simone and Leon to be a couple, let alone have their relationship exposed.Keira also checked the trending topics. She had known about Simone and Leon's situation earlier. Now, seeing the majority of comments criticizing Simone, she felt a bit angry. She asked, "Simone, have you seen the trending topics?" Simone had already looked through the trending topics and the online discussions. She looked up and said, "Yes, I've seen them." Keira asked, "You didn't know before, did you?" Simone shook her head." I didn't know, and I never expected it." Keira felt a bit sorry for Simone. This exposure was definitely planned. "Do you want to respond?" She felt that Simone was in a difficult position. Not responding would lead to even more criticism, but responding didn't seem like a good move either. Zac had already finished going through the trending topics, and now Keira asked the thing that had been on his mind. Although he knew Simone was prepared, he still wanted to know. Should she directly respond to the exposure of this relationship? Simone smiled and replied, "Of course, we should respond." "The drama won't be complete without a bit of a comeback." Zac's eyes sparkled. "I'll have someone help you with PR." Simone had left Gray Entertainment and didn't have a manager or publicist. He had a dedicated team for public relations that could assist her throughout the process. She didn't refuse Zac's offer this time. "Sure, then I'll count on your PR team."Previously, time was limited, and her studio hadn't hired anyone, so she was indeed lacking in public relations. After returning this time, she needed to hire the right people. Seeing that Simone didn't refuse, Zac's smile deepened. "I'll have them prepare right away." He then sent multiple voice messages in the chat group, instructing his manager and team to prepare to handle Simone's PR campaign. Zac's manager and team members saw the messages, and not only did they not object, but they were also very proactive. Simone was Zac's rescuer, and they couldn't just stand by while she was being harassed. They were already enraged when they saw the online commotion earlier and had wanted to intervene. However, they were concerned that Simone had her own plans or that they might unintentionally worsen the situation, so they held back. After discussing with his team, Zac turned to Simone and asked, "Do you want to respond now?" Simone checked Leon's Facebook page and kept refreshing it. "As soon as Leon posts on Facebook, I'll respond immediately." Based on her understanding of Leon, since he agreed to and supported the exposure of Scumbag No. 2's relationship, he would promptly address this matter once he got his phone today. Sure enough, right after she finished speaking, Leon Foster's Facebook update appeared. Leon Foster: It's true, I am dating Simone.
