Chapter 512

The article clearly laid out the publication dates of all the novels suspected of plagiarism, along with their website information. It was easy to verify the authenticity of the claims. Only then did everyone realize that the publication dates of those novels were later than Lucifer's novel. As a result, those who had been quick to criticize fell into an awkward silence, and the server was no longer down. Many people might have logged out to avoid the embarrassment. Meanwhile, both Esther and Hanzel's fan bases had been growing rapidly. The numbers were soaring—ten million, twenty million, fifty million… The increase in their fans surpassed the original numbers by three percent. Esther's eyes lit up. "Amazing! No wonder you didn't say anything earlier, Pearl. You were saving your ultimate move! You found their publication dates. They can't deny it now." "Yeah, it's a simple task for a hacker. Jenny is really dumb." * Jenny suddenly sneezed while reading Pearl's complaints and preparing to revel in Pearl's misery. "What's going on? The heater is on. Why did I sneeze?" She rubbed her nose and wondered why she felt a sudden chill. After waiting for a long time, she logged onto her social media account to observe the chaos surrounding Pearl and Brilliance Entertainment. However, she discovered that most of the negative comments had disappeared. Some people had deleted their comments on their own, while Pearl had secretly removed the rest. Jenny was baffled. "What happened?" An intense anger boiled within her as she interrogated someone. The person, noticing Jenny's fury, stammered, "Miss Jenny... You'll understand once you check out Pearl's social media account." Once Jenny perused Pearl's social media account, she found Pearl's explanation to be flawless. The accusations could no longer tarnish Pearl's reputation. Still in disbelief, Jenny was jolted by another piece of news—a video. It featured a man and a woman intimately involved in bed. The woman was blushing and reclining on the bed, while the man kept thrusting. Their private parts were blurred out, including the man's face, but the woman's face was in high definition. The video immediately garnered the attention of all netizens because the woman in the video was Jenny, the top celebrity of Fame Entertainment. The scandalous video stirred up a frenzy of discussions and judgments. Jenny was stunned upon seeing the video, and a piercing scream escaped her lips. The sound echoed through the entire building of Fame Entertainment, where everyone could hear it. [Jenny is doomed. She looks so pure but turns out to be such a slut!] [How disgusting! I'll never watch her movies again!] [The Melody of the West, right? It's revolting! I'll never watch it again!] The viewership of The Melody of the West plummeted by fifty percent after the video was exposed, and its ratings hit an all-time low. If this continued, it might be canceled shortly after its release. "Pearl! It must be Pearl's doing again!" Jenny seethed with malice. She would never let Pearl off the hook. But before she could seek revenge, the president of her company approached her. "Oh, Jen. Your reputation is in shambles now. We have to suspend your work to minimize the damage." It was extremely difficult to raise an excellent star, but they had no choice but to... let Jenny go.
