Chapter 11 Most Unpopular Person Online
- After the filming was wrapped up, Jasmine participated in several smaller-scale shows with the help of Alicia. Although her appearances were brief, her beauty gradually caught people's attention.
- One day, while Jasmine was in the middle of her dance practice, she suddenly received a message from Garey.
- 'Jasmine, quick! Check Twitter; you've made a trendy search!'
- What? Jasmine was puzzled.
- She clicked into Twitter and saw that the Autumnvale cyber police had released an announcement, commending citizens who had recently contributed to maintaining the city's safety and awarding them banners for being outstanding citizens.
- Jasmine was notable among them. Her striking appearance passed the test of the cyber police's poor-quality camera, outshining other outstanding citizens. She was quickly picked up by marketing accounts and even given the title "Ms. Angel." In no time, it reached over a million reposts.
- Jasmine became famous out of the blue.
- After the incident where the robber was apprehended and taken to the police station, the officer insisted on taking photos of the two.
- Josh refused, but Jasmine couldn't resist the enthusiastic persuasion of the officer and had to agree.
- Who could have imagined that it would lead to such an outcome?
- Taking advantage of the trendy post, Alicia discussed several good projects for Jasmine. Jasmine's screen time increased, and her number of Twitter followers skyrocketed.
- Once someone became popular, the next thing that followed was scrutiny.
- Everything about Jasmine that could be found was dug up.
- Enthusiastic internet users discovered her business, manager, financial situation, and all the shows and dramas she had appeared in since her debut.
- There were marketing accounts that discovered Jasmine had participated in Rhonda's first film after she returned to the country.
- Rhonda's fans rushed to the official Twitter account of the movie to express their support for the film. After all, it featured both Rhonda and Jasmine; both were beauties in their own right.
- In the dressing room, Rhonda was so angry that she smashed the script.
- This was her debut after returning to Celestria. The focus of everyone should have been on her. But suddenly, Jasmine appeared and stole the spotlight from her in her own movie.
- "Jasmine! You b*tch! Why are you everywhere?!"
- Anger distorted Rhonda's face, making her look ferocious.
- Her assistant quickly blocked the entrance to the dressing room and isolated it from the view of others.
- "Ms. Ferguson, don't worry! Last time you asked me to track Jasmine, our man had reported some news to me."
- The assistant leaned in and whispered in Rhonda's ear, "On the day Jasmine finished filming, she had dinner with a man at Eden Restaurant!"
- Although Rhonda had recently returned to the Celestria, she knew that Eden Restaurant was the most famous private kitchen in Autumnvale. It had a limited daily capacity and usually required reservations. Only the wealthy and privileged could dine there.
- Even someone of her status, after returning to the country, was taken by Noah to dine there once.
- "I heard that Jasmine was quite poor when she was with Mr. Caldwell," the assistant said. She glanced at Rhonda's expression to make sure she didn't change before continuing, "She had no family or friends, all alone. How could she afford to eat at Eden Restaurant? She must have been a kept woman."
- Rhonda's expression improved. She adjusted her face in the mirror and asked, "Did you take any photos?"
- The assistant lit up the phone and handed it over to her.
- Rhonda frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "I can't take a good look at that man's face in this."
- The assistant had received benefits from the paparazzi. She quickly added, "That restaurant has very strict confidentiality measures. They had done their best to dig up this little bit of dirt. Besides, as long as you can tell it's a man, isn't that enough?"
- Rhonda pondered a little and said in a low voice, "Spread the news, but make sure there's no loose ends. Don't let anyone trace it back to us."
- After a few days, when everyone was becoming more interested in recent news and Jasmine's popularity was dwindling, a post appeared on Twitter.
- It included a photo of Jasmine having dinner with a man and provided detailed information about Eden Restaurant. The conclusion drawn was that, with Jasmine's recent entry into the industry and lack of background, she couldn't afford to dine there unless she was being kept by someone. The girl everyone thought was beautiful and kind-hearted was actually a gold digger.
- This news was quickly attracting bored internet users.
- The internet users turned into Sherlock Holmes and verified all the tiny details of this post.
- In the end, they found out it was true.
- Eden Restaurant was indeed not a place where a newcomer or a minor celebrity like Jasmine could go.
- Jasmine's reputation suddenly took a turn for the worse, from being widely praised to being fiercely criticised.
- 'Heartbroken! I didn't expect Jasmine to be this kind of girl!'
- 'Hey, don't insult the term 'girl', okay?'
- 'She's such a beautiful woman! Why can't she rely on her own efforts? Must she rely on a wealthy man?'
- 'Previous comment, it's not necessarily for her being a kept woman! With her looks, can't she attract a rich man?'
- 'It's wishful thinking. We haven't seen any rich guy come out to clarify!'
- 'None of the beautiful women is decent!'
- The numerous comments under Jasmine's Twitter post overwhelmed her.
- Alicia comforted, "Don't worry! Actually, the situation isn't that serious. The ones making a fuss are probably just internet trolls. You can ignore them. Right now, we need to figure out who is targeting you. Let's just wait and see."
- This was the first time Jasmine had encountered such a situation. She knew that getting anxious wouldn't help, so she focused on her own work and waited patiently.
- She didn't have to wait long.
- A few days later, a marketing account released news that the reason Jasmine was able to participate in Rhonda's new drama was because she had relied on a wealthy man.
- Additionally, it stated with certainty that the members of the production crew had confirmed it. In reality, Rhonda was dissatisfied with Jasmine's performance, but out of a sense of responsibility towards the film, she took the initiative to guide Jasmine on how to act.
- However, Jasmine was being disrespectful. She even mocked Rhonda for meddling, saying that her acting was inferior to that of Katherina.
- Coincidentally, at that moment, Rhonda started a live stream. Her fans questioned the authenticity of the news spread online.
- Rhonda was taken aback, and her eyes turned slightly red. She forced a smile and said, "Jasmine is right. I'm not as skilled as Katherina."
- After that, Rhonda disregarded her fans' desperate attempts to prolong the live stream and abruptly ended it.
- Once this news surfaced, Rhonda's fans were indignant. They flocked to Jasmine's Twitter account to hurl insults.
- 'Rhonda is willing to teach you for free. Isn't that an incredible stroke of luck?'
- 'Shameless! Such a b*tch! You're useless!'
- 'Leave the production crew! Don't tarnish Rhonda's reputation!'
- 'Boycott Jasmine! Boycott Jasmine! Boycott Jasmine!'
- At this point, none of Jasmine's fans dared to defend her any longer.
- After all, Rhonda has been in the industry for many years, with many die-hard and irrational fans; no one wants to cause trouble for themselves.
- However, Alicia and Jasmine breathed a sigh of relief. At least they now knew who was behind all of this and could take appropriate action.
- "How did you make an enemy of Rhonda? Why would she want to ruin your reputation? Did something happen on the movie set?" Alicia asked, perplexed.
- Jasmine sighed. "I have no idea what her problem is. She targeted me as soon as she joined the production! Maybe she has some mental issues!"
