Chapter 2008
With this in mind, Isabel instructed Carla mindfully, "Carla, go to my fan forum and tell my fans to cool it a little."
Carla was about to say something when Isabel's cell phone rang suddenly.
It was Amanda, her manager.
Isabel answered promptly, "Hey, Amanda, what's the matter?"
Amanda said in a voice seething with fury, "Did you see Isabella's latest post?"
Isabel held her breath. "What did she say?" 'Take a look for yourself." "Okay."
Isabel promptly hung up before swiping to her feed again.
The two fandoms were still going at it.
There was now a new topic on the trending page that read: Isabella got the role based on merit.
Isabel tapped on it and immediately saw a new post made by Isabella only several minutes ago. It was an officially
worded post that read: "Formal announcement: The female lead in 'Legend of the Goddess' and the guest star spot
in 'The Wonder' were given out purely on terms of merit. Please calm down, everyone. Don’t get manipulated by
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe false narrative."
By merit? False narrative?
No matter how you look at it, it seemed like Isabella was taking a jab at Isabel while also implying that she was
mobilizing her fans on social media.
Isabel was not the only one who felt this way. Her fans felt the same.
Instead of putting out the flames, the post only fanned the flames.
Isabella's fans were out in full force now, mocking Isabel's fans for not having any sense of classiness. They said
they were a mirror of Isabel, lashing out when they themselves were unworthy.
It was hard for Isabel not to be upset by everything she was seeing. Naturally, her fans refused to lie down and take
it, so they continued to argue.
She began to wonder if Decker had bought the allegiance of some people in the industry because soon enough,
several verified accounts of high- profile people in the industry got involved. They spoke up for Isabella and uttered
negative sentiments against Isabel. Some of the things they said were as follows: "This has been going on long
enough. Isabella herself has clarified things, so why hasn't Isabel said anything? Is her plan to let her fans bully
Isabella's fans while she hides in the corner?" "Isabel’s agent is one of the titans in the industry. I don't think Isabella
can steal the role away just because she wants to. She got them because she was the better choice, plain and
simple." "Isabel is probably upset because she lost the female lead and guest star spot. If you look at her past
performances in different variety shows, you can see that she's a pretty shallow person. I think it's a good enough
exemplification of her true personality." "Even though Isabella stars in the same type of film as Isabel, she’s been
doing this longer. You can't deny that she holds seniority over Isabel. The least Isabel could do is to show some
respect to her senior."
These were all comments made by the famous talking heads in the entertainment circle, which drew even more
attention to the scandal.
The narrative swung the other way very quickly. Soon enough, the consensus was that Isabel was a narrow-minded
and hateful person.
More and more people were piling onto the drama to see how things would be resolved. Many said that Isabel had
let her game get to her head.
Isabel read some of the things people said about her, frowning all the while.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCarla exclaimed furiously, "What kind of garbage nonsense are these people spouting? You've been filming all day
today. How are you supposed to find time to tell your fans to kick up the storm for you?"
Meanwhile, Amanda sent another text to Isabel: "Isabel, don't say anything yet. I suspect that Isabella paid some of
these talking heads under the table to slander you publicly and sway public opinion. Just don't pay attention to what
people are saying online. I’ll have the admins take care of it."
Isabel pursed her lips and replied, "Leave it to me."
Amanda replied instantly, "What are you up to? Don't make things any worse than it already is."
Isabel did not reply. She went to her page and posted, "Calm down, my loves. Go get some dinner, go get some
rest. I’ll take care of this myself. Be good now."
This was directed to her fans.
After making the post, she took Carla with her back to the car and was driven back to her place.
Her latest post was already trending by then.
Her fans flooded the comment section.
"Isabel, we will do as you say, but we can't bear to see them dragging your name through the mud after stealing
what is rightfully yours!"
"We can't stomach this. It's outrageous!"
