Chapter 249 – My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

This time, Emma and her opponent was evenly matched in terms of professionalism; they each had their strengths. But, when it came to achievements, Emma definitely fell behind.

Manni had the numbers to beat Emma and also went through a legendary period in her career; these two points greatly highlighted Emma’s disadvantages.

So, to Emma, Manni was her greatest opponent on the domestic runway. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like she would ever catch up.

In fact, Manni probably didn’t even consider Emma as a worthy opponent!

…

Lisa monitored the silly poll online and ran to Emma’s side excitedly, “Have you seen this poll? It asks people to choose bet**en curvy body and long legs.”

Emma was reading a book. She glanced at the laptop briefly and noticed she had received double the amount of votes in comparison to Manni. She then turned back to the book, “Manni exceeds me in so many aspects; the votes seem untrustworthy. If the votes were cast by experts, I would definitely get zero.”

“Why would you say that?” Lisa put away her laptop cheerfully. The fans were already in favor of Emma, yet she was lowering her own prestige.

“It isn’t necessary to put down others just because they are an opponent – I am merely speaking the truth. This is no different to a good-looking actor receiving an acting award just because they are popular, do you think they would acknowledge themselves?” Emma closed up the book in her lap and spoke in a serious tone, “There’s no need to belittle ourselves, but we also need to see the truth. Manni’s future isn’t limited to what she has now. Whereas I…”

“What about you?”

“We have different goals. Help me tell my fans to maintain a low profile. I once pushed Amber to her destruction, do you want me to have the same fate?”

The entertainment industry was a revolving game of high stepping on low; today, one may step on another, but tomorrow, they may turn into the one being stepped on.

The industry was never lacking in talent and distinctive skills. No matter how good one was, there was always someone better – no one ever remained number one forever.

“Is it necessary to make yourself sound so unpraiseworthy?”

“Don’t tell me you’ve never taken notice of Manni,” Emma reopened her book and returned her focus to it.

Of course, with Emma’s prompt, Lisa quickly knelt beside the sofa and opened her laptop. She frantically tried to understand what type of person Manni was. Eventually, she understood what Emma meant.

Emma had always insisted on keeping a low profile. Her calmness was her key to victory. It seemed, at all times, she was aware of her position and could quickly assess her enemies.

“Something’s wrong Emma…just a moment ago, there were less than 10,000 votes, how did it suddenly jump to 100,000? On top of that, all the comments are in favor of you…” Lisa quickly showed Emma the poll once again, “Don’t tell me you were right, I suddenly sense a conspiracy.”

Emma looked at the laptop…

Indeed, there was something weird…

Meanwhile, Eric was in his office and had noticed the exaggerated votes. He closed up his laptop and gave Emma a phone call, “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

“I’m not worried about myself,” Emma replied. “According to Manni’s current status, she could leave at any time; I’m worried she may put you in a difficult position. You’re the almighty president, yet you overlooked the model in first place and jumped straight into being the manager of third place. If I was her, I also wouldn’t understand.”

“Oh?” Eric suddenly chuckled as he asked Emma in a doubtful tone, “What could she possibly do to put me in a difficult position?”

“Perhaps…she might force you to be her manager as well.”

“Mrs. Roberts, do I sense jealousy?” Eric tried to act serious, but his eyes looked slightly amused, “If Kaleidoscope can support her, can’t they also step on her? Kaleidoscope doesn’t usually bother with things like this, but…it also depends who we are dealing with. Over the years, those that have played tricks, cheated, climbed into beds, accepted bribes…none of them have sl*pped through my fi**gers. If Kaleidoscope has the ability to elevate them, we can also make them not see the light of day.”

Eric spoke firmly and with certainty.

If Manni really thought of herself as someone important, she was welcome to test the consequences.

“But isn’t she your bargaining chip against Star King?”

“Mrs. Roberts, if Kaleidoscope can create one Manni, they can also create another.”

“So, are you going to manage me and train me like another Manni?” Emma asked in a confused tone.

“I’ve never managed Manni…”

Emma laughed. Although, Eric wasn’t by her side to comfort her and hug her, simply knowing she was the only one in his heart was enough.

After speaking to Emma on the phone, Eric instructed Luke to contact the developers of the website and get them to remove the poll. This way, any paid fake commenters would no longer have access to it.

Of course, Luke acted immediately and the poll was quickly removed. Charlene, who was sitting in front of her computer endlessly refreshing the poll, clenched her teeth in anger. The poll was merely flooded with votes and comments for 10 minutes before Eric completely uprooted it.

Charlene was of course too afraid to post up another poll; she was afraid of getting exposed. Luckily, she had captured a screenshot on her phone. So, she showed it to Manni.

“What’s this?”

“Votes from netizens,” Charlene tried to stay composed. “Just a moment ago the poll reached 100,000 votes. But, it’s been removed now…”

Manni browsed through the comments as her hands trembled in anger.

“Emma’s fans have been defaming you in public, are you going to tolerate it?” Charlene retrieved her phone from Manni’s hands and sighed. “I know you are taking President Roberts into consideration, but even President Roberts is on Emma’s side.”

“What do you want me to do then?”

“You should definitely prove your status in Kaleidoscope,” Charlene exclaimed. “We had no choice in the past because President Roberts never involved himself with artist’s matters. But, things are different now. Since, he decided to become a manager…with your qualifications and a manager like him, you guys will make the strongest team.”

“For someone at Emma’s level, it should be sufficient enough for her to share a manager with Jordyn.”

“Are you telling me to lower myself and go beg President Roberts to be my manager?” Manni stared at Charlene; she felt her suggestion was a bit surprising.

“How would you be lowering yourself? If you don’t know how to bring it up, I can go speak to President Roberts and test the waters for you,” Charlene’s words were tempting as she directly targeted Manni’s innermost desires, “When he finally becomes your manager, the two of you can grow closer.”

Manni couldn’t say she wasn’t tempted. Just like Charlene had said, in the past, Eric had never involved himself in artist’s matters, so she never found an excuse to demand for anything. But, now that Eric had stepped out and become a manager, how was she any less than Emma? So, she silently consented to having Charlene test Eric.

She could endure most things, but having her status shaken, was not one of them.

She didn’t want to break up the unity in Kaleidoscope that had taken many years to develop.

But, Emma’s appearance…

…had already messed up the balance in Kaleidoscope!
