Feeling downhearted, her assistant suggested they go have a cup of coffee. While sitting in the caf?, taking a break, Maxine’s assistant checked the news online and exclaimed, “Damn it! These people are overstepping. They’re claiming they have terminated the contract with you because you underperformed.”
Maxine looked at her phone. The brand, Shining, had just made an announcement. It stated, “Due to issues in our collaboration with Maxine Campbell, we have decided to end our partnership. We have selected a new actress to endorse our products. Welcome, Tatiana Fernandez.”
Previously, the brand had publicly announced their partnership with Maxine, but now they had switched to another artist. This left the online community baffled. “Why did this change happen so suddenly?”
“No way. I think Tatiana is trying to grab all of Maxine’s opportunities.”
“There’s a known rift between Tatiana and Maxine. It’s a long-standing issue. Tatiana has always been jealous of Maxine.”
“Are you kidding? Tatiana is the top actress. Does she need to be jealous of Maxine? Why not consider that Maxine lost opportunities due to her own lackluster performance? Tatiana stepping in was purely out of generosity.”
This remark was liked by the brand. So the narrative took shape: Maxine’s alleged poor performance quickly ignited widespread discussion on the internet. The online community began to question Maxine’s talent.
Maxine’s assistant was pissed off. Maxine was undeniably more talented than Tatiana. Yet, public opinion was easily swayed. As Maxine read through the news and comments, her spirits sank even further.
Her assistant observed her with a heavy heart. If they were subjected to such treatment, could they really continue in this industry? They had hoped things would improve once Maxine reached A-list status, but the industry challenges only seemed to grow…
In the studio.
“Did you release the announcement?” Tatiana asked Lachlan.
Lachlan responded immediately, “Yes, it’s already online. The feedback is rolling in fast. Now, everyone’s convinced that Maxine isn’t as capable as you.”
Tatiana checked her phone and noticed the comments about her and Maxine. “Isn’t it obvious that Maxine isn’t up to par? Someone suggested that Tatiana is stealing her opportunities. But really, if she were truly capable, would her opportunities be so easily taken?”
“I’ve seen Maxine’s promotional poster. It’s quite ordinary. But she’s a skilled actress.”
“If she’s skilled, why hasn’t she won a Best Actress award like Tatiana did? It’s so funny. How can she say that Tatiana stole her opportunities? Did she even deserve them?”
Many netizens ridiculed Maxine. This put Tatiana in high spirits.
A year after Tatiana began her acting career, Maxine entered the scene as a fresh face. Initially, Tatiana’s position in the industry was solid. However, Maxine, who shared a similar image and offered lower rates, began to attract many opportunities, creating a direct threat to Tatiana.
Left with no other option, Tatiana revealed her wealthy family background, which helped her stabilize her position and eventually win the Best Actress award. How could Maxine, coming from a modest background, secure better opportunities than her?
Tatiana was pleased with herself. She wanted to remind Maxine not to be overconfident and that she could easily ruin her career. While browsing Twitter, Tatiana was drawn to a new post.
It was made by Blossom Grace, a leading brand known for its strong development and global reputation, operating under Homelight Enterprise. She had visited Jared recently, hoping to secure an endorsement deal with Blossom Grace. However, Jared had been occupied during her visit.
In her mind, she had already secured the endorsement. After all, who else but her could fit the role, especially given her closeness to Jared? But then, Blossom Grace announced a different spokesperson.
The company said, “Congratulations to Maxine for being chosen to endorse our products next year. We look forward to a fruitful collaboration.” Then Maxine’s photo was attached.
Tatiana read the announcement several times, initially suspecting it was a hoax. However, after verifying, she realized it was legitimate. Blossom Grace had chosen Maxine as their new face?
This news was truly unexpected. Tatiana’s face drained of color. She hurriedly called Jared. As soon as he answered, she said with a tone of grievance, “Mr. Cooper, what happened? Didn’t you tell me I’d be endorsing Blossom Grace? Why did you pick someone else?”
Tatiana still hoped it was a misunderstanding at the brand manager’s end.
With one word from Jared, Tatiana believed the spokesperson position would undoubtedly go to her.
“When did I ever agree to give you that role?” Jared asked, genuinely puzzled.
Tatiana responded, “But didn’t you mention that you thought highly of me?”
“Just because I said I thought highly of you, you assumed that meant you’d get the role? You’re way too confident,” Jared replied, his voice tinged with sarcasm. “Do you even realize how often I have to say that daily? You’re not even qualified to be our spokesperson.”
Without another word, he hung up the phone. Tatiana’s face displayed a mix of emotions. Jared had never behaved this way toward her before. He used to think highly of her. She began to wonder if Isabella had said something negative about her behind her back.
Without delay, Tatiana sent a message to explain herself.
“Mr. Cooper, please don’t pay attention to anything Isabella might have said. She dislikes me because I called off the engagement with her older brother. I’ve stayed single for years because of him. I’m just a woman with my own life, and I can’t stay unmarried forever. These past few years have been tough on me, and now that I’ve started moving on, they won’t leave me alone. I’ve been through so much.”
After sending the message, she was sure Jared would sympathize with her. But after a while, there was no response. She sent another message, only to discover that Jared had blocked her.
How could he have blocked her? What on earth was going on?
Tatiana’s anger surged, her face flushing with frustration. Blossom Grace’s announcement that Maxine was chosen as their spokesperson left netizens in shock. Shing, a lower-ranking brand in the market, had previously mocked Maxine’s lackluster performance. But when Blossom Grace, a top-tier brand, named her their spokesperson, it felt like a huge embarrassment to Shing.
When Lachlan read the news, a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. Maxine’s fans were thrilled by the new endorsement, and soon even Blossom Grace’s fans began to rally behind her.
“Shing is nothing compared to Blossom Grace. Every time Blossom Grace picks a spokesperson, they choose someone who’s photogenic and charismatic. Does Shing actually believe they’re more powerful than Blossom Grace?”
“I can’t stand those netizens. They believe whatever they’re told. Isn’t it obvious that Tatiana’s been trying to push Maxine down all along? Since Maxine’s debut, Tatiana has always tried to steal her opportunities. And when she couldn’t, she flaunted her rich-girl status. Now, as Corbett’s fianc?e, she’s gone way too far. I haven’t seen Maxine at any events lately.”
“How terrified must Tatiana be at the thought of Maxine overtaking her?”
“I’ve blacklisted Shing, just like I did with Tatiana.”
“Congrats, Maxine! You’re amazing! Those who don’t believe it, just check out her previous photos. They’re stunning.”
“Maxine is the perfect match for Blossom Grace’s brand style.”
“Didn’t Tatiana claim she’d be the next spokesperson for Blossom Grace? And look where we are now.”
“Blossom Grace is under Homelight Enterprise, not some minor brand like Shing. Tatiana’s threats don’t scare them!”
Those who supported Tatiana were smug just moments ago, but now they faced massive backlash, with the majority of online comments mocking them. Lachlan watched helplessly as his company’s stock price plummeted. Filled with regret, he realized he had no choice. If he hadn’t sided with Tatiana and ridiculed Maxine, he wouldn’t be in this mess.
Maxine didn’t find out about the turn of events until she left the cafe. Her assistant screamed and showed her the announcement on Twitter.
“Oh my God! Is that real?” Maxine asked in disbelief. “Is there someone else in the industry with my name?”
“No, it’s you!” her assistant replied. “Maxine, someone must have recognized your talent!”
Maxine felt a surge of excitement. Just then, her agent called her. “Miss Patton assigned you the endorsement deal this time. You must make the most of it.”
Miss Patton? Instantly, Maxine pictured Isabella’s delicate, beautiful face, along with her graceful demeanor. Tears welled up in her eyes. One moment, she was questioning whether she could stay in the industry, and the next, she felt appreciated.
After ending the call, her assistant asked, “Did Miss Patton assign this to you? She’s amazing. Even though she’s young, she secured such an opportunity.”
“Yes,” Maxine replied, gripping her phone tightly. “I have to take full advantage of this opportunity!”
Meanwhile, in her office, Isabella noticed the comments online. Jared’s official announcement on Twitter came at the perfect moment. Tatiana must be furious. Isabella sent Jared a thumbs-up emoji, feeling quite pleased. No artist under her should be treated unfairly.
As it was time to leave work, Isabella packed up and headed to her uncle’s house with her parents. Her uncle and his family were artists who lived in an old wooden house. Although it wasn’t in the city center, the location was still quite desirable.
After knocking on the door, they were welcomed inside and led to the living room. A man who somewhat resembled Glenn stood up when he saw them. “You’re finally here.”
“Well, how have you been?”
“We’re doing well. How about you?” Rowan, dressed sharply in a suit, looked both elegant and distinguished. Next to him on the sofa sat his wife, Sarai Patton, clad in a graceful blue dress that complemented her figure, though her demeanor was rather haughty.
Sarai had remained seated during the initial greetings. After a brief exchange between the brothers, she finally stood up.
“Hi, Elaine, Glenn.” Sarai, now standing, glanced over at Isabella, her expression registering mild surprise. “And who might this be?”
“This is Isabella,” Elaine responded with a warm smile. “Isabella, this is your aunt-in-law, Sarai.”
“Nice to meet you, Sarai,” Isabella greeted her courteously.
Sarai nodded, slightly taken aback by Isabella’s beauty. It was clear Isabella had inherited striking features from her parents. Nonetheless, Sarai considered that despite her looks, Isabella was just another worldly woman.
Rowan invited everyone to sit. “The chef has just finished preparing dinner. Let’s talk more over the meal.”
“Sure,” Glenn said.
The dining table was filled with an array of delicious dishes. During the meal, Isabella remained mostly silent, listening attentively.
