“I’m having a nervous breakdown!”
...
In the studio, Stella was still telling the story of her miserable past with her face covered by tears. Just then, Rachel, Maria, and Ivy all received similar messages.
“Kneel and apologize to Mr. Soan! Now!”
“Apologize and tell the truth. Say it or die!”
The messages came from an unknown number. While they were reading the messages, the staff of the Midnight Chat program suddenly came onto the stage. They were led by the director of the show.
They knelt in front of the camera while Ivy and Rachel were still sitting there.
“I’m sorry!”
The director knelt on the floor and shouted, “Everyone, I’m Jason Lock, the director of the show. We’ve offended Mr. Soan in our show, and I sincerely apologize to him for everything we’ve done! Mr. Soan, we’re sorry!”
“I’m sorry, Mr. Soan!” behind him, the editor-in-chief, producer, and assistant director said in unison.
Rachel and all the guests were dumbfounded, so was Stella on the other end.
Jason went on, “Midnight Chat has always been a show aimed at revealing truths, but I’ve lied to you all. Every show has been pre-arranged, and today is no exception. The agency of Maria and Ivy communicated with us in advance, telling us to slander Mr. Himmel Soan to avenge Stella Shane. They’re only trying to use the popularity of this event to make their has-been stars popular again!”
“What are you waiting for? Kneel and apologize! Do I have to slap you in front of the camera?!”
Ivy and Maria both received a message from their boss. They were finally convinced.
“I’m sorry!”
“I’m sorry!”
Both went pale and slipped onto the floor. Ivy said with a pale face, “I’ll tell the truth now… Director Lock is right. I made up the whole story. I barely know Stella. That’s the final truth. If I’m lying, I’ll catch AIDS tomorrow and die a miserable death! I only worked with her once, and she has never mentioned her adopted father to me.”
Maria nodded. “That’s true! We were all lying! Stella is an ungrateful slut! She has slept with all sorts of directors just to get her career going. She even lived with Gary Mat for a while. It’s true! I can even give you the dates! She lived in his house from March 16 to June 12 last year for three months!”
Ivy added, “That was why Gary Mat wrote that article for her! Mr. Soan, we’re so sorry!”
Both Ivy and Maria knelt and thumped their foreheads on the floor.
What a shocking turn of events!
The viewers were stunned.
So was Stella. She was still on the other end of the line when Ivy and Maria exposed her lie to millions of viewers. It was such a scandal that she wanted to kill herself now.
Rachel turned to the big screen. “MIss Shane, is what Maria said true? Did you sleep with Gary Mat for three months?”
Ivy raised her hand. “I have proof! She was pregnant once and has had an abortion!”
What?!
Stella immediately hung up. Her face turned purple, and her eyes lost focus. This time, she wasn’t pretending. She knew that she was finished.
“This is hilarious! That’s your goddess! You had so much faith in her!”
“She’s been sleeping with so many men! To them, she’s like a dog!”
“Why is this happening? My goddess… I don’t believe it! They must have made it up!”
“You’d better believe it. Why did you think she hung up when they asked her a direct question? Why didn’t she confront them?”
“Don’t you realize it? Stella has nothing to say because it was true!”
“No! It can’t be!”
“Damn it! That b*tch has deceived us! I know where she works! I’ll kill her now!”
“Count me in! I’m so mad! I can’t believe I felt sorry for her!”
“That’s to say, her adopted father never did those things, did he?”
“Don’t trust anything she says! I won’t! She has pretended to be so innocent, but she’s evil from within!”
...
“What should we do now?” Luna paced back and forth. She didn’t know what to do.
“Stella, it’s all your fault! It wasn’t such a big deal at first! We could have just posted the apology video, but you had to go to that Gary Mat and other men! Look what you’ve done now!”
Stella stared blankly into the air without saying a word. She looked as if she was in a trance.
Luna threw her hands into the air. “Luke, ignore her! Videotape me now! I’ll apologize to Dad!”
“That’s right! Let’s do it! Let me get the camera! We’ll record each other!”
Luna immediately knelt on the floor and began to apologize to Himmel Soan in tears.
The phone of their office kept ringing, but none of them dared to pick it up. They knew that they wouldn’t hear anything good.
“You b*tch! You’ve tricked us all! Open the door!”
Someone was banging on the office door. There was a loud bang as if something had smashed into it. A lot of fans had gathered outside and were knocking loudly. The door was almost unhinged and could fall down at any moment.
“I know you’re in there! Open the damn door!”
...
Public opinion changed again, and people started supporting Himmel Soan.
“We’ve misunderstood Mr. Soan this whole time!”
“It’s all Stella Shane’s fault!”
“Are we sure that’s the truth?”
“What? Do you still have doubts?”
All the famous entertainment websites such as Tenrun and Starwave had removed the articles and videos that had slandered Himmel Soan. In ten minutes, nothing could be found online. All the posts left behind were those that told the truth.
Among the criticisms, Stella’s office made a move. They posted a video. In it, Luke and Luna were apologizing.
“Dad, we’re so sorry!
“Here’s the truth. Stella put us to it! Dad, you’ve been so kind to us!”
