No.1
Daniel scrambled away like a man fleeing the devil himself.
Iris held up her phone with shaking hands. "Evelyn, look..."
Alexander Kingsley's private Twitter had just updated:
【I, Alexander Kingsley, have never had any romantic relationship with Isabella Winslow. The alleged engagement is pure fabrication. Surveillance footage was maliciously altered by her assistant—actual interaction lasted under five minutes. Kingsley Group will pursue legal action.】
Attached evidence included unedited security tapes and transaction records.
The Kingsley corporate account instantly reposted. The hashtag exploded.
Winwell Ventures' stock plummeted to limit down within minutes.
No.2
Both entertainment and financial circles quaked.
Isabella's fans spiraled into meltdown. Die-hard "power couple" shippers raged—only to find themselves mass-muted before the backlash began.
Nathan Carter delivered a blunt warning to Isabella: "Control your fans. Or else..."
Meanwhile, The First Lady crew announced a casting change—ousted lead Bianca White reclaimed her role, backed by a mysterious new investor.
"Evelyn!" Iris burst into the office waving her phone. "The First Lady crew just announced they're replacing Isabella Winslow!"
Her cheeks flushed with excitement. "They're reshooting all promo materials and redesigning the costumes!"
Charlie followed close behind. "Bianca White's agent just called Martha. They're fully cooperating with us now."
No.3
"And here's the juiciest part," Iris lowered her voice. "Daniel Young resigned, citing health reasons."
Charlie added, "Kingsley Group increased their investment and specifically requested Bianca as the female lead."
Isabella's team claimed she withdrew due to health issues, but everyone in the industry knew the truth.
Her staged encounter with Alexander Kingsley had been exposed, along with leaking the crew's styling secrets.
The same way she'd stolen Bianca's role was how she now made her disgraceful exit.
Only far more humiliating.
The entire entertainment industry mocked her downfall.
No.4
Bianca's fans unleashed their fury:
[Who said she didn't care about the Kingsley heir? How's that working out now?]
[Getting fired despite investor casting? Lord Alex strikes again!]
Meanwhile, rumors spread through fandom circles—
Bianca only reclaimed her role because Horizon reporter Evelyn Sinclair exposed the surveillance footage.
This prompted Alexander's personal investigation and swift retaliation.
Isabella's fan forum exploded.
No.5
Her supporters flooded Evelyn's forum with vile insults.
[You homewrecker! How dare you steal our queen's man!]
[Faking evidence to frame our sister? We'll see you in court!]
Bianca's fans quickly mobilized in defense.
[Protect our journalist angel!]
[Your demon queen dug her own grave.]
[Heard Lord Alex sent twenty truckloads of roses. Someone's bitter?]
No.6
The battle raged.
Bianca's fans organized anti-bullying campaigns and established official fan clubs.
Their slogan was brutally simple: Stan real talent or get lost!
Evelyn somehow gained her own fanbase.
"Editor," Charlie said admiringly, "have you considered becoming a celebrity?"
Evelyn arched an eyebrow. "Can't sing, can't dance, terrible actress. Celebrity?"
"But you're gorgeous!" Iris chimed in.
No.7
Evelyn closed her folder. "Finished today's articles?"
Both reporters vanished instantly.

Kingsbury Airport.
Nathan Carter approached Alexander the moment he disembarked.
"Lord Alex, Julian Ashford came to pick up Miss Sinclair."
Alexander's gaze turned icy. "Where are they?"
